[Yoonited]

Bump What a TUUUNE!

That would be a reyt spine tingler wi 30,000 blades beltin it out.Gerrit sung tmorrer lads.

[crucialkneeligaman]

Never thought we had much chance of getting him back, made up. Welcome back James.

 

[Flatulent_Bob]

Lastly, a striker. Danny Ings loan
Is being pursued !

Are you just taking the piss now? We've no domestic loan slots left.

 

[Sportbilly /Detroit Blade]

Haha McB the trained public speaker commenting

He's just a young lad, and just to speak and come across as a mature and level headed chap is great. Did have a chuckle at the amount of times he said "definitely" though

 

[PurpleRain]

Please send Coulibaly back on loan to us. He can be huge in our team and it’s unlikely he will get game time in the Blades team with all the new signings. I will come and pick him up myself and drive him through the Chunnel if that is what it takes. Many thanks in advance.

 

[Rusty view]

Got home and the daughter hadn't heard.

She's loving the signing then turned round and said thought we might have signed Haaland.



No pleasing some people.

UTB.. Great signing. Decent window considering the exits we had.

Let's smash Everton tomorrow

 

[petcharlie]

Why the hostility against Glyn? I enjoy reading his contributions and with his wife having a certain amount of connections within the sports media, probably he’s more ITK then what you’ll ever be.

I agree mate why on earth would anyone come back with that attitude just because you dont agree with them over something so trivial .

yes he's only a baby

 

[blade too long]

10 new players and the final piece of Heckys jigsaw

the supply to the front is restored

 

[1973Blade]

If this is true and United comms don't have 'Return Of The Mack' playing on the Twitter announcement I will be very disappointed!

Thank you Sheffield United comms team for not disappointing me!

 

[BalticBlade]

If you think we'll be bringing anyone else in after McAtee, you'll be sorely disappointed

Who knew

Pink.

 

[ForgeBlade]

Just home from a wedding with a free bar so I'm somewhat lubricated, but really glad to see the confirmed tick on this one. Whatever happens in future, really pleased to see that he can continue his development with us. Hats off to Hecky et al for getting this one done. Welcome back James.

Macca has been to see us play this season:

Absolutely love that!! I love players going in with the fans and remembering what it means to us.

 

[S64 Blade]

Surprised nobody spotted him.

 

[Hamandcheese]

No McAtee cost us 2 points, as I expected it would

 

[Frank the tank]

No McAtee cost us 2 points, as I expected it would

Course it did

Looking forward to getting another who can carry the ball forward from midfield and drive us on. I think McAtee will free up Hamer to get an even more central role in the team. Hamer is so good we need to get him on the ball more. He's doing well at the moment, but he's not quite in his favourite role. The question will be if Hamer - Souza - McAtee will be strong enough defensively.

 

[Ron_Justice]

Who's he displacing then, from todays midfield of Hamer, Souza and Norwood? On paper is seems pretty clear it'll be Norwood, who sat deeper and centrally, at the base of the three man triangle. BUT would that mean Macca comes into Souza's position at RM and Souza drops to the deeper slot vacated by Norwood? Can the addition of Hamer and Macca negate the loss of Norwood's ping/passing range?

That would be my choice. Souza as the central midfielder with McAtee and Hamer flanking him. Souza does enough on and off the ball to make that position his. He's a work horse.

How do you envisage us setting up Bergen Blade?

Hope he doesn’t suggest switching to a back 4, he will have half of Sheffield reaching for their pitch forks and heading to Hull to catch the 11pm Fjord cruise ship to Bergen
