Campbell?

[Ndiayewillalwaysloveyou]

We must be hoping on a decent fee on him hence the contract extension

Watford and Leicester have Director of Football, have they been a success?

Arsenal and Manchester City have Directors of Football, they have been a success.

When he came on last night he simply looked lost, not knowing where to go or what to do.
Do we not have sports science staff who look after a player’s physical AND mental health? Please note I’m not criticising him for his mental heath. It’s just that he looks as though he needs some help and it’s the club’s responsibility to make sure he gets it.

He lost his father didn't he? Not an excuse but may be something to bear in mind.

Leicester who won the Premier League and FA Cup?

Watford who got to a cup final and have spent more seasons than us in the Premier League despite the potty owners?

 

[Silent Blade]

Man City did by cheating. Arsenal are a big 5 club and can afford having a DoF. We are not a big 5 club

Unless he’s has an illness we have not been told about (in which case why is he near the squad?) it’s totally unacceptable for a professional footballer to be blowing out of his arse after less than 10 minutes

He didn't even work his bollocks off either. He only came on as we have an even more inept, lazy and unfit forward called Jordan Ayew.

 

[SwitchBLADE Smiles]

I’ve defended TC more than most on this forum since his time here, but I’m struggling now to be perfectly honest. We’ve gone from a situation where he was a threat whenever he was on the pitch to being outshone by Tom Cannon, who as recently as 10 months ago looked league 2 standard.

TC has never really showed a decent work rate, but he came on for 10 minutes last night and I don’t think he broke into a sprint. When you’re chasing a game, backs to the wall, you expect commitment as an absolute minimum - there was zero of that. It’s unacceptable.

I don’t understand what exactly has gone wrong with him, but we’re now at a stage where he’s become a hindrance to the rest of the side and IMO, he doesn’t deserve a place on the bench. We need footballers we can rely on to make a difference - Campbell just isn’t doing that at all.

 

[Tom Bott]

Not sure but think it was a 1 year thing

I'm still dumb founded that we've given a player who has never completed 90 minutes for us and is unreliable a 3 year contract.

Tyrese Campbell has put pen-to-paper on fresh terms to extend his stay with the Blades.

The striker's current deal will now run to the summer of 2028.

2 Years then, until age 28.

Arsenal and Manchester City have Directors of Football, they have been a success.

Both of them also have been in the premier league for years and have lots of money to spend

 

[joe casey]

He gained a contract extension.....for some reason.

I'm pretty sure Wilder was quoted as it being a financial decision to protect the club rather than earning an extension. Essentially this way we get something for him rather than nothing. Despite his performances this season he will still go for a couple of million whether you believe him worth it or not

 

[Tom Bott]

At Watford it's hard for a director or football to build a squad for a head coach when they get replaced 3 times a season. As for Leicester they splashed out on some signings but forgot about appointing a decent head coach, but you have a fairer argument with their case.

So a DOF has no say on the head coach manager then?
So how do they help then with long term stratedgy.

 

[Tom Bott]

Manchester City have Directors of Football, they have been a success. Cheats

 

[1889]

Not sure but think it was a 1 year thing. Billy would have been a better signing.

Yeah, it was maybe a one year extension, which took it to three.

But your right, their Glenn would have been more mobile or even Donald!

Yes Joe seems to ring a bell that reason, but who is going to buy him based on his cameo appearances? We got him for nothing, so let him go at the end of his contract and a huge (massive) thank you for his goals against the piggies. It maybe that the owners have been talked into sanctioning the deal when they heard "profit", something Bettis could have objected to but that probably would've upset Wilder.

 

[S64 Blade]

Years ago!

When was the last time we did that?

 

[Silent Blade]

When was the last time we did that?

Ok, can you suggest who would be a good DoF for us then? I mean anyone who we can afford.

 

[HighfieldBlade]

Sorry, but Campbell was a complete waste (or should that be waist?) last night.
He can't run to save his life, he did nothing and was blowing out of his arse after just 10 minutes!

 

[Revolution]

Man City did by cheating. Arsenal are a big 5 club and can afford having a DoF. We are not a big 5 club

Your views on football really were set in stone around the time when we sold John Tudor, weren't they?

 

[Champagneblade]

We can't just get rid mate, the idiots have given him an extended contract! Just have to hope some club out there lose there senses and offer stupid money for him!... let's face it its not happening were stuck with him sadly

This is one of those double edged sword things.

We gave him a deal to protect his value and not lose him for nothing.

Sadly on recent showing I don’t know who would pay a cent for him.

Not long back Bournemouth were tipped to bid 7m for him.

So if he gets back there, then great. Personally I’m not seeing much to suggest that.

 

[S64 Blade]

Ok, can you suggest who would be a good DoF for us then? I mean anyone who we can afford.

I, nor I suspect anybody else on this forum is privy to our annual budget, or how much DoFs are paid, so it’s hard to answer that question precisely.

Stuart Webber’s name was thrown about in the past, but I see he’s recently moved to a Japanese club.

Heckingbottom would be another option who I suspect doesn’t command a huge wage. But that’s assuming he’d be up for a role change. He’s intelligent enough for the job and made some smart signings during his time, as well as seemingly having a clearer pathway for the younger players.

There was a recent article on the BBC about the first cohort of ex players who have completed a course which qualifies them as directors of football.

Before he signed for us.

Same can be said of every player you sign and every manager you appoint. Everyone has to start somewhere.

 

[RandomBlade]

This is where Wilder unnecessarily eats into the credit he has.

In what interest of Sheffield United is it short, medium or long term to have Campbell and Ayew on the bench instead of Oné, unless the latter is injured?

Either Campbell is ill and needs to recover away from the lights or he’s well below what is required professionally and shouldn’t be in the team. Either way he isn’t justifying his place and him entering the field is like having 10 (or 9) men.

The latter is coming back from injury so Wilder isnt eating into anything.

Easier for the big clubs to afford two big wages. Watford and Leicester thought they are big clubs. Let's not fall into the same situation

 

[Bladedog]

Wilder talking about seriki new contract.."he has to earn it"..WTF has Campbell done to earn it...Im just hoping wilder goes before Seriki and One..those two can be part of our future under a progressive manager.
