Incoming? Harry Clarke

[ml1997]

Sam Curtis has been out on loan 3 times - League One, League Two and Scottish Prem.

It begs the question to me that, by now, we should know whether or not he's capable of stepping up to the Championship, even as a back up who might make 15/20 appearances a season.

His contract's up at the end of the season and if we don't rate him, we might as well try and get a small fee for him and get him off the books. If there's someone in League One that we might be after, use him as a makeweight.

He’s only had one loan with any importance, league 2 at chesterfield. If you want to parachute a good league 2 defender into our first team then you can’t be serious.

Nooooo

BBC stating we're still in for Harry Clarke.

If this is true with the acquisition of Doherty and the likes of Shackleton still kicking around, does this set alarm bells lightly tinkling?

We gathered together 4 LB in 2023-4, none of them good enough and some atrocious (Lowe, Thomas, Larouci, Osborn). Maybe we are trying to do the same on the right now for reasons that escape me.

Seriously, if this is true, would it not have been better to use the money earmarked for Clarke and Doherty on one good player?

Maybe we could sell Seriki, just go with Clarke and Doherty, and thus begin the great enshitification of Sheffield United

He's 20. A few months difference between him and One. It's just that we signed him during one of the woeful premier league years where people wanted a child put in the side fresh from Ireland that it feels like he's been here forever

Oh dear

 

[ben1987]

Probably lazy agent / journalism continuing to link him with us trying to find him a move.

Unless Doherty has come as CB backup.

Not seen any rumours about Seriki leaving

 

[Pintor75]

If this is the best we can do we're doomed

Begin? Have you not watched us since January 2025?

Lightly tinkling
More like an air attack warning for a nuclear attack.

My friend, my friend...... I am talking L1 levels of enshitification

I'm talking Micky Adams signing Neill Collins and Michael Doyle

Harry Clarke could be a crucial signing in setting us on this path

 

[AdamSufc1997]

We sign Clarke and Doherty and sell Seriki. I’m not sure how this is a positive. Our only 2 dangerous players last season and we decide to sell them

Hey Collins and Doyle weren't bad players

 

[Maurice Maurice]

Hey Collins and Doyle weren't bad players

I
Collins looked like he had an ironing board strapped to his back and you can see players like Doyle in Concord Park. They really were pretty bad.

[Massive Attackers]

Happy with that

 

[AnstonBlade1]

Pants pulled down if that’s true

 

[Captain Obvious]

3.5m for him?! Wow…wonder if they think they’re getting the other Clarke.

 

[LiamBG]

Imagine the meltown on here if we had agreed this deal.

10 million for Souttar suddenly seems value!

 

[Carlton Blade]

Outside of that bizarre first half v Pompey where he had to have been told to drop off Murphy (because 2nd half before he came off, he got much tighter), he was fine. Bog standard Championship full back, good in the air, willing to try and attack. Certainly better than Gilchrist but not a player I'd want Inited to pay a fee for.

GLTTL

 

[bladesmanluke]

I am here once again to remind folk that this is the transfer fee economy in 2026. Can't wait to be told £6m or whatever we end up accepting for Gus is a good deal.

 

[ComedyClub]

Thank fuck.

 

[Silent Blade]

1000% agree

 

[Nick Jansky]

Imagine the meltown on here if we had agreed this deal.

And the meltdown would have been fully justified.

Stoke will get top 6

Bullet dodged
