CONFIRMED BBD is back

[Rodley]

We’ve limited funds so I’ll take this one. Good luck BBD.

 

[Woodys Thunderbolt]

So many better players out there. He's an average championship player that in my opinion is severely overrated due to his 'Diaz' surname on the back of the shirt and being an international player for a country that Lyle Taylor could get into.

Who are the better players out there?

 

[coolasanidiot]

100% good signing. Says it all that Derby returned for him. In situation we are in this is definitely good news.

 

[Chief_Froley]

Honestly that's the best we could have hoped for barring some wonder kid on loan. Even then there's big risk involved which we can't really afford to make in that position.

For every MGW there's a Ben Woodburn.

 

[ancientblade]

yes could be a clever signing and as others have said nowt to stop us bringing a genuine left winger in

Work on the ai

 

[Booker4]

He got 7 goals and 3 assists last season playing for Derby in 49 games which is pretty good. He was playing mainly on the right there too and he'll likely be on the left for us where we know he's at his best.

Really chuffed he's coming back.

 

[Hallamboy87]

Name them.

Available in the last few days of the window, affordable for Sheffield United, would favour Sheffield United over others and where the club is not wanting them to be flogged permanently.

I collated a reasonable list of likely options in post #576 and I don’t reckon there is a MGW in there this time around.

Abdul Abdulmalik
Ollie Tanner
Even for a centre half - Luke Mcnally from Bristol

 

[3Cheers4Ramirez]

Smart signing

Now just sell Cannon and that will make it even smarter

 

[Blade56]

We still need to replace the creativity lost with Hamer. This signing can't be it.

 

[AnstonBlade1]

FFS get Fleck Duffy and Norwood back while we’re at it

 

[LSF]

I have seen Woody switch to the left in a tactical switch during games. He has scored and created some goals from there.

Wasting your time there Silent, poor old Keen stuck in his 70's time warp

If played on the left I think you'll see a much improved BBD. I think this is going to be a really good signing. You can hold me to that.

Id love Duffy back btw even now!

 

[Macfarlane21]

I really like BBD. There’s a reason he went to Villarreal, was then loaned to us in the PL, and subsequently joined Southampton for £7m. Recently he’s often not been played in his best position, which for me is as an inside left forward.

The most important thing is that he wants to play for us and has turned down alternatives to do so. I think he’ll have a solid season for us

 

[Blade56]

Hopefully chooses stoke

Stats say if played in correct position he’s a better resource for us than Gus was

 

[AnstonBlade1]

He was crap second time around for us
Do we have any scouts at our club?

 

[KMC-1889]

We still need to replace the creativity lost with Hamer. This signing can't be it.

At his best he’s 1 in 3 goal contributions and that was with us a couple of years ago.

Solid championship player, 6/10 every game, but it’s another player (like Phillips et al) where we are gambling on them recovering form and playing at their peak when there’s very little evidence to support that’s a likely scenario.

 

[Berkshire Blade]

For me he's more of a "front three" type than a winger.

I would rather a winger type

Hoyland’s busy doing the morning sandwich run.

More BESTs in his black book than players.

I would seriously find a new hobby. "Supporting" Sheffield United is clearly not enjoyable for you

It really isn’t enjoyable awful to watch
My kids play more entertaining football and I don’t have to pay £30 a game to watch it

 

[KMC-1889]

Who are the better players out there?

We’re competing with Stoke and Derby, the top 3rd of the table are busy looking at other players.

It’s not fans jobs to identify targets, that what your scouts and analysts are supposed to do. Fuck knows what we’re paying our lazy bastards for.

 

[CaptainMorgans]

If you're going for promotion, BBD is a useful utility forward (as he showed a couple of spells ago).

If you're relying on him, you're midtable fodder... maybe that's where we are at.

It's a very typical Wilder signing. One we expected to make. He'll do alright .

 

[tyke1889]

Which hotel?

Supposedly our hotel, taken by a Blade

 

[HIBGIA]

Like a few have said, underwhelmed by the signing (if it happens?), but understand the reality of the current situation that the club is in.

I honestly wouldn't be surprised of the sale of Cannon on the back of this??

 

[Booker4]

He was played on the ight though mainly which isn't his best position. He'll be much better on the left cutting in. Hamer was on left of course before.

 

[Blade58]

Offers something a bit different, but he isn’t a replacement for Hamer

 

[Maceyblade]

Honestly that's the best we could have hoped for barring some wonder kid on loan. Even then there's big risk involved which we can't really afford to make in that position.

For every MGW there's a Ben Woodburn.

Romelle Donovan could be that wonder kid. Thought he was outstanding against Blackburn and has gotten better in every game so far.

MGW was a different story though. He was a cheat code. Had absolutely no place being in a Championship team.

It isn’t

Played for us for 12 months. Contributed to a goal every other game.



Not a fangirl or anything, but his stats for us are solid.
