Ok its been a bit quiet for us on deadline day (so far!) which can seem a bit disappointing considering we're a bit light up front, but all things considered I'm happy with how things have gone:

1. We haven't lost anyone of significance in the team (including Billy Sharp ;) )

2. We've shifted a lot of dead wood out of the club reducing the wage bill/squad size

3. We've brought in some decent players without paying over the odds (including Ched Evans :D ) which will put us in good stead for the next window

4. There are always free agents we can bring in until January in an emergency (this is where a decent European/global scouting network would be useful mind)

5. Most importantly we've kept Chris Wilder when it was rumoured he could have gone to numerous other clubs

I think we should all sleep well tonight and look forward to the sodding international break being over!

UTB :)

 



Apart from the fact that bar Billy none of our strikers are anywhere near championship standard which is bound to catch up with us eventually. We're gonna struggle if Billy is the only scorer for us this season which he is 5 games in...

Johnny Russell got one as well.
 
At this very moment, our transfer window looks fine. However, if we wake up tomorrow and Billy Sharp is out for 3 months, will you be happy with our business? Disappointing that we couldn't even bring in a striker as back up for Sharp, disappointing when Wilder has gone on about getting a striker for weeks plus we all knew we needed one, to then only buy a centre back does seem to lack some real footballing nouse.
 
If we don’t end up signing a new striker then I fear we will severely regret it.
 
We're desperate for pace. We were shown up at Cardiff
 
Total bollocks.

We clearly lack pace upfront bigtime and we will pay this season because of it.

We might be 5th now but we will stuggle this season in the long run with this current squad.

We have kept Brooks, which must be disappointing to all the experts on here who insisted that we were certain to sell him.
 
Very, very poor not addressing the weaknesses up front.

Love Wilder dearly, but he just hasn't got done what needed to be done.
 



We can't keep up that cup final atmosphere, we're going to start struggling and we'll have no pace to alleviate it.

I'm pissed off.

Fuck off Kev. You're not fooling anyone.
 
Disappointed - surely we have passed the point whereby it is a good TW just because we haven't been arse raped? We should have got pace and striker/s. I have every trust in CW, but think we could rue the lack of goals before long.
 
He pops up at bang on 23:00 on deadline day when most are frustrated for maximum attention.......

You ignore the fact I've been on the shout box for the past hour saying that I'd rather we not sign Devante Cole and have no-one, staying consistent. Some can't be on here 24/7 as much as you'd all love me to ;)
 
not a good transfer windwo we needed another striker with pace, yh sharp is a great striker but we will struggle as we hardly have any pace in team
 
Feel for Wilder having to magic up something again. His heart won't always rule his head. He knows he can get a more ambitious club to take him on
 
We have clearly made some very good signings in Stearman, Stevens, Baldock.

Got a couple who look the part in CCV and Heneghan.

Taken a few gambles in Ched, Thomas and Lundstram who all may/may not come good.

Oh and we kept Brooks.

It has been decent window but in not getting a striker or 2 we have shot ourselves in the foot and potentially scuppered a very good start to the season.
 
A good transfer window? Wtf?! A complete and utter disgrace from McCabe and the Prince - totally incapable of meeting the asking price for anyone half decent.

Given that we tried to get Cole and quina in today only for the respective clubs to back out on the deals how are united to be blamed for that, we've got a squad which is good enough to stay up, not to mention we haven't seen much of Nathan Thomas yet, with lavery injured he'll probably make the bench against Sunderland
 
It's been an ok window in the sense that we are stronger than we were going into it, and we've not had anyone buy our top talent.

But it's fallen short of what we needed, as Wilder clearly was in for some competition in midfield and up front to add to the defensive additions. I'm concerned that if Coutts, Fleck or Sharp get a significant injury we could be in trouble quickly.
