£1.7m for a first team player, in the PL, seems unreal. Was expecting that we'd be looking at players 2 or 3 times that price and even then we'd be pretty far away from Internationals with World Cup experience. Unreal.

And for an established starter in the national team ranked 30th in the world (albeit still behind Wales who would probably lose to most Meadowhall League sides these days!).

Expiring contracts can also aid Utd as well as cost them e..g in the case of Berge and Ndiaye.

Bit like Wilders crop of £100m bunch?

I’d hope given the fees here we’re going to spread the investment out into more players and so increase our chance of having hits. If it’s a case of 4 in for around 10-15 million total spent then we might be in a pickle as we’re then effectively gambling on being smarter than everyone else and say we’ve found these players no one else has which is highly unlikely.

Too cheap?

Sheffield United close to signing £4m international player

It's claimed the Blades are closing on what we hope will be the first of many summer signings
www.sheffieldunited.news www.sheffieldunited.news

And if £4m is true, then this might add weight to the article above?

Sheffield United discover the demand Brondby are placing on their deal for Anis Ben Slimane

Sheffield United have been told that they must ‘front load’ their bid for Brondby’s Anis Ben Slimane, as the Danes attempt to reinvest the money they will receive for the midfielder in new talent.

Sheffieldunited.news literally just rehashes any gossip from the internet. It's got no actual source of information, there's no need to click on it if you read this forum anyway. It's presumably just someone doing it for advertising revenue.

The new foreign outlook is great but I do have concerns about losing our identity/ethos (given lack of funds etc it’s a big part of our strength)…

Watching vids like that and remembering what a baller Ahmedhodzic is helps ease my fears. Pashun in spades!

People still seem to quote it as a source, after the first article I read on there I've never been back. Diabolical website.
 
Really excited about the signing of Slimane, assuming it happens. He's clearly a big talent and talk of Milan and Arsenal interested in him in his earlier career suggests that he is a player of big potential. Also I know it's only the highlights reel and they always show the best of a player, but I've not seen a better one than the one on Slimane. His touch and number of through balls is very impressive; he takes a few risks with the ball but in fairness he has the ability to do it. I'm hoping, like with Anel, other clubs will be thinking where've you got this guy from he's class.

Also the fee is small by PL standards, there are bargains out there like this abroad, some come off some won't but as a club we've generally done better with smaller buys than bigger buys! Keith Broughton summed that up under Harry, think it was something like this

"We've had some great un's wit small money buys"!

Love how we're signing international players these days too! I remember back in 1992 we were linked with a Swedish left back who'd just played for Sweden in Euro '92, think he was called Ericsson or similar (I know that's not narrowing it down!) but it didn't happen but then not long after we got Flo and Nilsen although I didn't rate either in fairness, but we never signed any international players for years, never had anyone playing in a World Cup, Euro's etc, and now we've got about 8 internationals, granted they're not playing for Brazil, but nonetheless it's really exciting times. On the flip side, don't want another Flo or Fahti if possible!

Please no, I couldn’t believe we were splashing £100,000 on a striker. Expected him getting a hat trick every game. Think we lost first match he played in 0-5 at home against Arsenal

His first league match was in 1-1 draw against Derby, the 3-1 defeat at home to Arsenal was his second.

Jan Eriksson scored the equaliser

"As The Star revealed earlier this week, Heckingbottom and his coaching staff are preparing to ramp-up their activity in overseas markets after identifying several “niche” targets within them."


The Star knows bugger all and only releases 'news' once it's been released online. Not worth them having a football section. Truly awful.

The star is a piece of shit.

Pisses me off the amount of ‘articles’ i’ve clicked on to be informed about absolutely sod all. They have never provided any new info just publish hot air to try and stay relevant. Never any depth to anything published. Truely awful journalism. The amount of adverts on the page is also annoying.

I wasn't imagining the player then! I can't recall how serious the link was at the time as I was 13 but I remember it was a rumour at the time. Decent header there, even better one v France in the game before. Shame that deal never happened!
