If nothings happens today

[Bladesince59]

The only “news” we’ll be hearing today is at 5:10pm when the good old “Despite efforts and hard work, we didn't manage to get anyone in. Loan window opens Monday” tweet comes out.

This will quickly be followed by a 45 second video of Wilder saying its dissapointing, they tried hard but the loan window opens next week.

Followed soon after by another tweet promoting a competition to win a holiday, and another trying to hawk corporate packages for the Villa home game.

Jim White can shove his day up his sphincter.

Not to mention another batch of shit shirts at £50 a pop.

We have let Ched Evans,James Hanson and Clayton Donaldson go presumably the plan was that they would be replaced by at least 2 better/quality players to improve striking options but we have only signed McGoldrick up to now which is worrying if we don’t sign at least 1 today

No the plan was we would save their wages.

You may say we're like for like but we really aren't. For a start as I said in my OP our key players upfront are a year older now and they weren't spring chickens beforehand.

That team that played Brentford WOULD beat the team that played Swansea. It's not just the players it's the tactics.
We were attacking everyone before now it's pedestrian, slow, ponderous football. We don't look anything like the exciting team of 12 months ago and we'll be at the other end of the table for the majority of the season.

Luckily it doesn’t matter whatsoever whether this team would beat last season’s or not. The side judged against the teams in the same division, this season. They’ve played two of them.
Out of interest who do you work for?

And poorly in both, well beaten in both with the wrong lineup for the opposition in both.

I have no idea of what relevance that is and even if I wanted to (for whatever reason I'd want to) I couldn't tell you due to confidentiality.

Just wondered, you mentioned mine earlier. If yours is irrelevant then so is mine

Your professional is to be a football journalist on Sheffield United. It’s slightly different to most on this board.

It’s a job. I post here just as every other fan does.

As expected, as we've been told by our manager - Has this been the worst transfer window since Wilder took over?

People might say we've strengthened, we haven't. We've stayed the same strength wise if anythinh we're weaker as we've lost any sort of depth upfront and 3 of our key players are getting no older and the old legs become a factor. Leon, Sharp, Duffy.
Henderson = Blackman (some may argue for and against the other, realistically they are a similar level)
Woodburn = Brooks
Egan has been added, early days
McGoldrick > Donaldson

Then we've lost any semblance of depth upfront by shipping out Evans (not that he was good but at least he was a body), losing Brooks and not giving Lavery a squad number. 3 strikers we've got.

We are lacking massively upfront and to not reinvest the Brooks money in this window would be absolutely criminal.
Chris says we can't find anyone to improve us with the budget we have? I for one hope he's only joking. There's better players in League 2 than some of the shite taking a shirt at the minute.
We can't have only had one target in Waghorn and then when we're gazumped on him because... wages, we throw our toys out of the pram and just don't bother.

It was loaning players last time that killed us and if we build our team around Woodburn, Henderson and whoever the striker we'll end up signing is on loan we're back to square one again next summer.

It'll be a case of 'lets make do' until January. Then from January it'll be 'make do' to the summer.
Rinse and repeat, it's the same old tired story we've heard far too often.



(Of course this all changes when we sign Sam Gallagher on a permanent deal later today)

Spot on. If we don't reinvest a sizeable portion of the Brooks money before the window ends tonight then you'd have to say that we've got all our hopes on Wilder working magic with this set of players. Quite unbelievable.

So have we signed jedward or not ?

No, because they’re shit.

 

[Sean Thornton]

No, because they’re shit.

When's that ever stopped us?

I’m assuming Hitlers mother liked him at one time.

I’m usually left feeling better after hearing Chris talk.

Post Swansea, post Boro both just left me a little bemused.

But he was using deflection when he had a pop at your professional abilities, Danny. He’s obviously shit at whatever he does for a living, hence his pop at you. Classic keyboard warrior with troll like tendencies and boringly repetitive, best ignored.
