If the takeover isn’t completed in time, then who do we even start?

[William Carey]

With the current takeover situation, all transfer activity at Sheffield United is being put on hold so signings will most likely come in pretty late. I can’t see there being any new players to our starting 11 as a takeover can take time to complete and the season is only 7 weeks away.

GK - Grbic (unless we sell and bring someone else in)
LWB - ? No idea maybe Norrington-Davies if he’s fit
LCB - Robbo
CCB - Trusty
RCB - ?? Ain’t got a clue here was gonna say Sam Curtis but he’s more of a right back
RWB - Bogle
LCM - Brooks/Hamer if we keep hold of him
CCM - Arblaster
RCM - Davies
ST - Osula
ST - Jebbo/McBurnie only if he signs a new deal but i doubt it??

Can’t really think of the LWB and RCB

This takeover needs to happen asap if not then we’re fucked lads, another long painful season incoming

 

[Davalon]

We forfeit the season and the doom mongers claim ITK status

I know we all wanted a clearout, but there comes a point where we'd have been better offering deals to our out of contract players. The season starts in seven weeks and it appears as though we don't even know who we can sign, let alone start talks.

I know, everything is a mess at the moment, we are gonna start the first game with Louie Marsh and One on the bench…

I’m trying not to think about the worst case scenario if I’m honest. I’m trying to be whatever will be will be.

But I am concerned about the goalie situation. In my opinion we don’t have one good enough at the club

Don’t worry mate, according to a report I saw we are battling Sunderland for Simon Moore’s signature

Ffs! Don't mention Grbic! If he starts next season we're bolloxed!

We really wouldn’t.

 

[Bladezz]

We just laugh and blame the manager and then replace him.

Then repeat.

Is it April 1st already

 

[Keen Blade]

Our transfer activity aways occurs late in the window.
Given our horrendous last season , the paucity of our squad & all the takeover uncertainty , we are not an attractive proposition for potential recruits.
No point thinking about recruitment for at least another month.
Best thing is to concentrate on shifting Gbric , Anel , Souza , Traore & Slimane.
Apart from Anel , they are unwelcome reminders of last season's mistakes.
And Anel just wants out.
Pray that Brewster & RND get fit and no one meets Hamer's release fee.
See if Egan , A.Davies , McB , Jebbo & Osborn fancy our contract offer.
By mid July we'll know where we're shopping.

 

[FriethBlade]

Looking at some of the teams posted in this thread I forgot we still have Davies(midfielder not keeper)

If,and its a big if, he can stay fit we have the makings of a very good championship midfield. Given it appears we can't bring anyone in then we need to keep Souza ( maybe just until Xmas) and we have a midfield of Hamer, Blaster, Davies and Souza. There won't be many better than that 4 and if RND is fit and we play wingbacks we have Bogle on the right and RND on the left.

New keeper
Trusty, Egan, Robbo
Bogle Davies Souza Blaster RND
Hamer Osula

Could be worse? And if McB signs a new deal it looks better. Plus despite the 'we can't sign anyone cus of tekover' we are sure to bring at least 3 or 4 in on frees as a minimum. I'm feeling a bit more optimistic but I've had a few beers!

 

[Champagneblade]

I was thinking about this and then saw your post.

I think the key thing is this: if we aren’t buying that’s one thing. But surely that also means we aren’t selling either for now.

Grbic/loan keeper
Ahmedhodzic Egan Robinson
Bogle Hamer Arblaster Davies RND
McBurnie Brewster

Subs from:
Faxon
Seriki/Curtis/Trusty/Buyabu
Slimane/Souza/Brooks
Osula/Traore

Not a bad XI though lacking in depth that numbers would bring.

Let’s face it, 6m in fees could get him Burrows, Worrall and a loan keeper and Alan Browne if he so desired and all of a sudden there starts to be some depth there.

It is still not overly clear where Archer ends up and whether there is a desire to do something there.

Jebbo seems to be half out the door which I find odd to this day given he’s been injured all season and we’ve been paying him all that time.

I’m still hopeful on Egan and McBurnie.

I still think if we can shake off the rut that came with relegation, a few new faces to refresh the team and we can readjust to this level.

 

[Houston_Blade]

It is still not overly clear where Archer ends up and whether there is a desire to do something there.

Every single report and interview last season was pretty clear that he’ll be back at Villa. What Villa then do with him is up to them but from a financial point of view he’s not going to end up back at the Lane.

We need these scoundrels at the EFL to pass our new owners so we do, there’s no reason for them to be taking this long so there isn’t.

I’m concerned it’s some anti United bias so it is, how long does it take to read through some paperwork for goodness sake.

 

[Tezza1889]

I like the positivity here, hopefully we'll start to get the wheels rolling after the 1st of July when players will make thier moves or make thier minds up...

Think Egan will re sign once he proves his fitness.. and I've a sneaky feeling so will mcburnie..

Harrison Burrows having a medical this Friday so I'm told...

We have been told it won’t be done in July. Something is a miss somewhere.
