[Confirmed] Blackman to Reading - Undisclosed fee

[SotonBlade]

More than anything else we need some competition for McDonald and Doyle in the centre of the park. Ironside will get his chance up top I think as well

 

[Revolution]

On the assumption this has happened (and let's face it, it will have done) let's play predict the clapper rationalisation. My predictions:

1. "Everyone is a selling club. Man U sold Ronaldo"

2. "Never rated him"

3. "Can't keep them here if they want to go"

4. "all of his goals were penalties anyway".

 

[raul]

Fee agreed according to SSN/Coops earlier on.

And you missed out

5. "Some people would moan even if we signed Messi"

6. "What if he'd got injured and been out for the season? Excellent bit of business by the club"

 

[axel smeets]

Well this is a disaster. One of the few players left wi owt about 'em.

 

[sheffielder]

Fee agreed according to Sky

undisclosed hey?

Great stuff Revolution.

Will be really interested to hear Foxy and Snorehamview's comments on this one.

He really was head and shoulders above anything else we had in terms of ability to cause defences proper problems. Now we have our Scottish U14 wingers.

7. He had flu anyway.....

 

[sheffielder]

If you think we are going to miss Blackman then I would suggest you have been spending most Saturday afternoon's in meadowhall.

Now we don't get near the box to win penalties his job is now void

That's 2 and 4 rev

 

[Toronto Blade]

If Miller hadn't been injured he would have been sold ,the Blades like to sell in January the only surprise is that it is not in the 15 minutes before the window shuts.

There's one in today's Star to win tickets for Strictly at the Arena. That's about the long and short of it....

Who is going to play in his place.

 

[Bladesway]

9 What if he ended up in Jail?

 

[Trafford]

Forget all the "United are a selling club" rhetoric, the Blackman that I've seen over recent weeks hasn't been a patch on the potential that I saw in the opening weeks of the season and, to be frank, would not be missed. Given that he does no defensive work, it's been like playing with 10 men every week.

 

[Wapping Blade]

This seems bizarre as, though Zaha has signed for Man Yoo (only £10M up front, the other £5M in "bonuses"), he is definitely being loaned back for the rest of the season.

 

[Patrick Suffaux]

It's the Blades way.

'Sheffield United.....getting to Wembley with no strikers since 2009'

 

[sheffielder]

Who is going to play in his place.

A winger.. Now can the club do the right thing and sign a RIGHT FUCKING WINGER

 

[Dog Blade]

Fee agreed according to Sky

Heard they got most of it sorted last night. Be interesting to see if Wilson has others lined up to replace him / sanctioned it, or if it's another one he'll be pulling his hair out at.

Any mention of how much money is involved?

I will believe it when I see it.

Well thats one of the 9 ticked off, apparently our leading scorer isn't all that.

You be Adrian Durham, and I'll be Goughie.

High ave halways oped....

 

[mattbianco1]

so palace sell for Zaha for £15m then we need to be looking at £5m for our top scorer

but knowing united £1.5m paying us 2k a week

Do you honestly think he's worth £5m? Evans maybe. Blackman, no chance

 

[Revolution]

No, but that's where you start the bidding, isn't it?

 

[super_pig]

Plenty more fish in the sea. No doubt our management/coaches/scouts have a few players on their shopping list for just such an eventuality.

thing is we keep buying old, past their sell by date fish at extortionate prices.. so extortionate in fact that they end up costing more than the original fish sale

Maybe that is exactly what is happening. The article about United approaching Scunthorpe for Mark Duffy might have been in the knowledge that Blackman was Palace bound.

Reading that article again, Mark Duffy seems quite excited about the possibility of coming to the Blades.

 

[Torrix1889]

Has he actually gone...?

 

[metalblade]

Why are we getting all upset kiddies ? Some of us told you this would happen, by now it should come as no surprise. A little bit less debt owed to a McCabe satellite company.

 

[DeepcarBlade]

SSN reporting that a fee has been agreed, but nothing reported about him actually having gone.
