Come on Blades, you're making me nervous.

Sat at a bar in India ( after being sat on the loo for a while this morning:(!!) gives me plenty of time to reflect.

To date this JTW we have only extended the loan of Hammond, who might be a great man to have around but no way was he in our top 5 priorities surely.

I've just counted 53 signings by League 1 sides this window.

United, please don't embarrass us clappers. Do some business, please.

I'm not expecting us to sign anyone as I think the hints from Adkins mean that players have to leave. If other clubs sign players and we don't doesn't embarrass in the slightest. The mismanagement at board level does thou.

Even with this squad I think we will scrape into the play offs( not happy about that but that is where we are at the moment). A couple of new signings would be nice but I it wouldn't surprise me if they were loans with a view to starting again in the summer when most of the squad will leave
 



... or buy two or three decent players in key positions during the transfer window to get you out of this division.

But... we tried it last year, it didn't work, so back to the plodding SUFC business-as-usual...
 
I don't think we will see anything else happen this month.

Sounds like you've already done the business Woody. Clapper or Crapper? Try a few pints of Kingfisher strong and you'll sleep tonight!
 
There Will have to be some serious business done in the summer, to entice supporters to buy season tickets.
Otherwise can see sales dropping drastically.
 
I'm of the opinion that we probably shouldn't make any signings this window and instead work on starting to trim the squad.

The way I see it, the automatic spots have definitely gone. We may get into the play-offs, we may not. But we might get in as we are, and there are no signings that would guarantee that we did, so why bother? You don't get value for money in January anyway. A few more outs wouldn't go amiss but I'll not be the least bit upset if we don't get anyone in.

I don't think we can afford to not go for it. We need to give every chance to go up everything. I agree though, I'd just get loans in (unless someone ace popped up) so we can build in summer.

Just picture the team and the chances of making the play-offs if Sharp got a long term injury. Even our current form is only on the back of his scoring streak.

When I counted the player signings in the JTW I noticed Blackpool and Fleetwood had been busy and their form has improved substantially. We desperately need a boost in midfield and forward areas IMO. I know many say defence but I honestly think we are quite solid at the back. Creating chances is the biggest weakness.

Sounds like you've been doing enough for all of us WWF.

PS Sorry for abridging your post, I'm aware it's a pet hate of yours.......o_O
 



We've spent big every January transfer window. Off hand think of Brayford and Done.

Massive ambition at this level and look where it got us. Also no appreciation from the fans after the event.

Maybe the board have learnt their lesson and will be more careful this month. Anyhow we have a massive squad. Surely players need to leave before we bring anyone in.
 
christ.. even woody is worried now. this is taking on a whole new dimension.
have a like mate ;)


To be fair that's countered by his latest " eureka" moment when it's dawned on him McCabe us hanging in there for a Premier return so he can get his money back.

What lesson? There only seems to be two options; spend money or don't spend money. I'm not sure how not spending money is going to help the club move forward.
