CONFIRMED Gary Madine signs on loan

[itsinyerblood]

If we go up he's not good enough for the premier league then we're stuck with the horrible bastard.

Not that it's happening, but how would we be 'stuck' with him? It would be a part-season loan, no more.

 

[FlamingLip]

I don't care that he played for that lot or some think he's a decent footballer (not me!) He is a total and utter cunt I just can't see a happy end to this I'm afraid, no way am I clapping or cheering for this prick! What happened to having morals?

Has having morals been an aged old Blade selection process?

 

[ShockingBadBuy]

In other news Carlton Palmer is coming in as DoF and Kevin Muscat as defensive coach.

... and the third signing we're expecting will be Marlon King

 

[Kozzy_is_my_Dad]

FUCK, NO.

 

[Bert]

Just wanted to offer my view as a Wednesday fan.

No point going on about his off the field antics as it's well documented.

As a player I really rated him when he was with us. I thought that he was more than a target man and was a decent finisher. I think he'd do well for you to be honest.

Anyway, happy new year and good luck for the rest of the season lads and lasses.

Weirdo.

 

[bibbity bobbity boo]

Looking forward to him coming. I always enjoy the "Gary Madine, you're a cunt" chant

We’ve had some reyt rogues over the years.

 

[Mumbo]

I got a bad feeling about this.

 

[Ricky]

It’s Baffling.

If he scores a dozen goals and wins us promotion it will be considered a master stroke..

If however it goes the other way and we flop this is going to be the decision every one points to as where it started to go wrong. (Whether that’s fair or not)

Huge huge risk taken by Wilder here, could seriously tarnish the esteem he’s held in amongst Blades fans.

A good tactical move for Wilder I think - if Madine helps us go up, great, everyone's happy. If not, and especially if it backfires badly, then Wilder's popularity suffers which makes it easier for him to jump ship to somebody with a bigger budget.

 

[Rodley]

He’s this seasons Hanson.

IN WILDER WE TRUST

That’s some conspiracy theory pal.

 

[Dkc]

He may be the type that's needed, but surely we can do better than sign a violent, convicted criminal who smacks Blades fans just because of the team they support, and calls Billy Sharp a cunt on social media.

I reckon this is a wind up. It would split the fan base worse then Ched ever did. I for one will be booing the twat.

 

[Blade56]

Looking forward to him coming. I always enjoy the "Gary Madine, you're a cunt" chant

That chant will happen with the slight addition that he's our c**t

 

[SwitchBLADE Smiles]

I genuinely think signing Madine would be a huge mistake... Surely there is another centre forward type available that doesn't have the baggage that Madine carries?

 

[Almosthuman]

Anyone listens to Alan Knills interview on Football heaven? He says Madine not a name he’s talked about with CW

 

[BiggerBladeThanThou]

Strangely Wilder talks about pace a lot when signing players, especially when you look back at the deadline day two years ago with Donaldson, Cole and Sinclair. Much talk about having pace to get in behind.

Punching the initial CD on the board with a marker pen Wilder says, "He'll give us pace in behind.

Donaldson becomes United's tenth recruit of the summer window.

Boss Chris Wilder said: "We have watched Clayton a lot, most recently for Birmingham at Burton, and it is clear that he will be a useful addition for us. "He offers additional pace and power at the top end of the pitch and his Championship experience will be of value."

He must come on here then

That was last season.

 

[sheffielder]

That was last season.

I was just providing examples. Just to show that as well as Madine he will also be looking for a pace option.

Huge huge risk taken by Wilder here, could seriously tarnish the esteem he’s held in amongst Blades fans.

 

[BanbridgeBlade]

wasn't there a video of him calling Billy a fat something or other & that's what resulted in him bottling the game at Bramall Lane?

It's a big no from me

 

[Davalon]

Wilder has never said we needed pace up front ,that came from people on here. We have Washington but Sharp and McGoldrick are our biggest threats and they don't rely on pace ,it not conducive to the way we play.

Lol. If Billy and Didzy had pace we'd be top of the league.

We miss opportunities every single game because of a lack of pace. Players turning back or not getting a shot away when put through.

BS and DMcG have done terrific so far and it's not their fault they aren't blessed in that department. Equally a speedboat no driver wouldn't help us.

But the right player up top with pace would be a huge asset for us.

Likewise an aerial physical presence isn't a bad thing either to add to the mix. Again if he's the right player.

 

[blader]

He’s this seasons Hanson.

IN WILDER WE TRUST

But Hanson was shit?

 

[Pedro's Winger]

One of the best things about watching United at the moment (apart from the football) is they all seem decent, down to earth people who all put a shift in and care about the club. In return there's a sense of a connection with the fans.
Just can't see how signing Madine isn't going to disrupt that.

 

[Blade56]

I was just providing examples. Just to show that as well as Madine he will also be looking for a pace option.

We got Dowell for pace

 

[Patrick Suffaux]

I guess I’ll just have to get on board with this. Setting aside any opinions about ability (by the way, he’s not a bad player) I really think this is a divisive move.

He is widely disliked by Blades supporters and will have to play out of his skin to win them over. That’s after ignoring the booing for a few games.

Not convinced this is a good idea but if it’s what Wilder wants I’ll trust him.

 

[sheffielder]

They say it's a done deal. Things move quick

 

[Roygbiv]

Seen some people saying Wilder should go over this signing. Obviously that's an insane view but I just hope we haven't as a club underestimated the feeling a lot of our fans have towards Madine. It really does have the potential to ruin our promotion bid if the fans end up turning against the manager or give out abuse to our own players.

I just don't think he's worth the risk at all.

 

[Whiston Blade]

I reckon this is a wind up. It would split the fan base worse then Ched ever did. I for one will be booing the twat.

BBC Sport website, Andy Giddings & James Shields don't really do wind up's. You know what, if he bags the winner against the pigs it'll be worth it.

Gary Madine, he's our washing machine.

 

[JPBrods]

Sure it's probably already been said but absolute scenes when he bags the winner at the Sty.

 

[ChazTheBlade13]

The man himself with wilder

Fights on the Kop by March is my prediction.
