[Bergen Blade]

To be unveiled tomorrow, according to a poster on BladesMad. Apparantly he's been right with some inside info before.

Camara about to sign

Looks like t'old Henri is about to sign after all.
Mebbes McCabe's realised what a hole we're in but after having virtually no strikers we're going to have Hendo, Evans, Cresswell, Ward and Camara with all but Ward not exactly in the prime of their youth.
Wonder how much we knocked the agent down.

Cough, cough.

Sorry, never look at rumour mill.
It's in today's Mirror.

Sorry, never look at rumour mill.

You don't know what you're missing. All sorts of stuff.

 

[TonyAgana]

Heard this late last night too. Have we caved in or his agent?

 

[Jim Chimmerney]

It's in the papers this morning that Blackwell has sent out an 'SOS' for him !

No doubt what we need but given that £3M Ched can't even get a run of games......

Confirmed on radio sheffield just now

Is Evans not in the prime of his youth?

 

[dingledog]

I bet he is costing more than either we wanted to pay or he was asking just a month ago. Desperate times.

 

[Vistoma]

Hope he can head the ball :thumbdown:

Or equally he could have a realised he won't get a better chance and came back with his tail between his legs (hope Pervy doesn't post on here) and we've knocked the contract down.

lets just hope its the spark we need to get out of this bad patch and get rolling.

This league is still up for grabs - Newcastle, WBA and others are not running away with it and they've yet to have their own blips and problems.

The turn round starts Saturday people - get behind the lads ALL OF THEM

COYRAWW

the rumour or the signing ?

 

[Linz]

Threads merged into rumour mill until confirmed by the OS

 

[thorpe hesley]

I think that this means Killa's off in January. Where else would we suddenly have got the wages to pay Camara?....unless we're not paying Paddy...

 

[cooperblade]

the rumour or the signing ?

The signing. Paul walker said he'd had it confirmed by the club

 

[LoughboroBlade]

I'm just excited to discover which wing we'll be playing this new striker on

 

[Foxy]

This was around before kick-off at Blackpool.

It's in motion, but I wouldn't wanna call it definate though until it's sealed and delivered

Especially with all his agents.

 

[cooperblade]

I hope you're wrong...

With my optimistic head on, this gives us the opportunity to get some pace into the forward line when Ward is unavailable, something we haven't previously been able to do.

With everyone available, I'd love to see a side along the lines of

Kenny
Walker Morgan Fortune Naysmith
Cotterill Monty Harper Ward
Evans Camara

We'd then have some strong options off the bench - Williamson, Quinn, Henderson, Treacy etc - and genuine competition for places.

 

[Flatulent_Bob]

Would Blackwell leave the best forward in the division on the bench?

Not a go at the player just in the status Blackwell assigned him.

Personally I'd love to see what Ched can do with a more mobile partner upfront.

 

[TonyAgana]

At the academy today. Borrowed Kyel Reid's training kit though so no squad number assigned yet.

Blimey TA, how did you manage to get to train with the lads ? Are we that short

You ain't seen me play

 

[Bladesman]

So looks like we are going to back down to stupid wage demands from agents. Mind you we have no choice really if we need new players.

we'll never know who caved in but maybe he didn't get any other offers ?

What's slightly worrying is that KB is desperate to get him, maybe Wardy is still a way off.

 

[Sensiblade]

Not a rumour anymore

http://www.sufc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10418~1833787,00.html

United have completed the signing of free agent Henri Camara.

The Senegal international striker has agreed a deal with the Blades until the end of the season.

"At a time when we have got so many major players out through injury, he will bring plenty of experience and a bit of quality to the squad," said boss Kevin Blackwell.

I think it's a question that should be raised in the next interview with McCabe.
I know we are struggling but I 100% support the board with not paying extra for the agent to sugar coat the deal. I hope to god we haven't backed down on this especially for such an average player.
That's not a dig at the guy if he's a Blade now then he'll get the support he deserves however I would say judging him on his record it is a fair description of the mans abilities. I would be only too happy if he proves me wrong though.

 

[Robbie]

Fantastic signing in all honesty. Bit of pace up front and finally another option.

The question now is.... will we utilise it.
