What Wilder has shown, and proved, is that with a keen eye you can buy players who have the qualities to succeed from just about anywhere. Surely the key is just how good the player is, not where he's currently playing?
The obvious player to point to in this discussion is Jamie Vardy. Admittedly, not many of his quality about, but there are enough to warrant continuing to look. I understand why looking at a higher level might bring in a higher quality of player immediately, but as we know, paying a king's ransom doesn't guarantee success. For fairly obvious reasons, we have to trust in Wilder and Knill's judgement. The pair of 'em have managed, within a few months, to change the Blades from a bunch of ordinary looking players into a team/squad whose desire and willingness to play attractive football, compete for one another, and give us something to be proud of, is something that took all of us by surprise. We're now back where we belong, so whoever Chris brings in they'll get the support they deserve. We may suffer more defeats, we may be on a very steep learning curve, and to be honest, I'm not that concerned. What matters to me is what I see on the pitch, and given what we all know about Wilder, woe betide anyone who doesn't give their all as they emerge for each game,
