And that is my worry. This has the smell of a KM 'deal'.
True enough Bush , but the Pigs may need to loan some out when they get to the Prem o , if not , we have our "game-changing investment".It's gonna cost though. A championship striker in their prime is not cheap at all.
Personally i'd steer clear... but he ticks a lot of the footballing boxes for us, perhaps the perfect striker for us

Think Liverpool , not Man Citeh.
Another angle ...........what does signing Ched say about our budget for strikers to keep us in the Championship next season ?
You can tell me Fleck was a free transfer etc , but shouldn't we acquire at least one goalscorer who's proven at the next level and still young enough as opposed to "over 30 , slowing down and on his way down" (even if he can still bag 30 in L1) ?

It says very little about our budget. And which team in the Championship won't be trying to sign a proven goalscorer below the age of 30? And how many of them are there to go around?

The list goes down as far as players on 11 goals for the season so far. Some really unimpressive records on there (Assombalonga signed for Forest in 2014 and has scored less than thirty for them since) relative to the money they'd demand. There just isn't a list of young players who are guaranteed to score you goals, having done it routinely at that level, and affordable for a newly promoted side. They don't exist.
I'm demanding nothing , I'm reacting to the potential signature of an injury-prone player who failed with us at Championship level last time.I don't know what it says but I guess that's not the end of it. Why not put your head above the parapet and say what you think will happen?
Be honest ST , do you find the re-signing of Ched inspiring ? I don't. Injured since March and loads of negative baggage. I think it makes our Co-Owner & Club look "small-time" , as if we can't cast our net a bit wider. IMHO it hardly fits with Wilder's blueprint for success.
The seasons not over yet and you're demanding signings now?
Unfair ST.He's not interested in any info. It's a very thinly disguised attack on McCabe. One trick pony.
Seen this comment a few times. Why will signing Ched split the dressing room? What is it about his personality that players won't like!?
Wilder will have consulted the players before. And why would it be split anyway? He's an innocent man

I accept Poker Blade's point about the dearth of affordable proven Championship strikers.
But since arriving , Wilder has picked up plenty of decent players with at least the potential to succeed in the Championship.
I was hoping (not demanding) he would unearth some more over the coming weeks & months.
Unless Ched's absence from the pitch since March is kidology , signing him is a retrograde step.
I'd like to have your optimism about Ched so can you throw a positive light on why he hasn't played for at least 2 months ?If signing a player who has terrific ability and a career goal average of better than 1 goal every 3 games and HUGE motivation to succeed for Sheffield United, for not a lot of money, is a "retrograde step", then I'm just lglad you aren't the manager mate, I really am.
And, you've written this like we've spent the money on Evans and there won't be any more left to spend on anyone else! This is only the first of several summer signings that will transform the team from being a very good League 1 team to a very good Championship team.
I wouldn't be surprised to see us go out and sign another striker, plus another goalkeeper, full back, central defender and winger.
So don't fret about the signing of Evans mate - he's just another piece in a very big jigsaw - and he might fit - or he might be in the wrong place.

How many times.....?
Would you expect to be playing in one of those big plastic boots then?
He has a heel injury that prevents him playing. If we are not satisfied this has cleared up or can be treated, we won't sign him. This is why United are not shouting about it from the rooftops. He is not our player and he will not become so, if his injury can't be sorted.
Do you know why we've not seen the Prince for some time? Has he given up on us?

Not the foggiest.
He isn't driving around in a little red Corvette is he?
He's also dead now which may explain his absence.That was 1999.

Dead that's crap news? When did that happen?
At least I've got the Bowie gig to look forward to.
Yeah you've done that one before.
It's Family Guy, they're all the same.Different clip.
You seem a bit grumpy since you moved to Jakarta......
And I've just washed my car and now it's either snowing or hailing. I'm not going out to check which one.Different clip.

No, I think they just ran out of ideas so kept doing the same jokes.Is it the heat?
