I don't think I've ever seen him play. What I said was that this is exactly the type of player we should be looking to bring in. In other words, we should be looking for younger players (because we have two strikers in their 30's now) who are starting to make waves at lower league clubs and wouldn't be expensive, or impossible, to sign. If you look at the type of players Wilder has brought in, almost all have them have something in common - they feel they are making a step-up in their career joining Sheffield United, rather than a step-down. This is very important and it's one of the key reasons why Wilder is able to build a strong team spirit. The lads are starting out on a journey together - not coming to the end of one as before under Adkins and his cronies.
Is Charlie Wyke any good? No idea pal. Not a clue. But that's not my job. It's the job of Wilder and Knill to run the rule over players like this and take a punt if they feel they are good enough to make the step-up. What I know is, he sounds promising and he's the right age and fits the criteria that we ought to be looking at. And my main point was really to disagree with those on here who reckon we don't need another striker because we've already got 5. We've not. We've got 2 decent ones in Sharp and Lavery. 1 that might still play a part, in Clarke. 1 that likes to think he's a striker, but isn't, in Done. and 1 that has no future at the club and is seemingly unwanted everywhere he goes, in McNulty.
