Ugggh, I'm not sure at 31 we should be buying him. Maybe a loan and option, even a obligation upon promotion, but I wouldn't buy him with the form he's (reportedly) been in up there.

Agrred, we don't need him. We've got Peck, Jairo, Blaster, Davies and Soumare for 2 places already. We dont need an aging, big wage signing who cant get a game in one of the worst leagues in Europe. He will take weeks to get up to speed as hes only played 8 games this season

So no doubt he will sign for us before transfer deadline

Which is why we should have signed him in the first week of the window but obviously that was just too difficult, with him being so important at Rangers
 
Leeds fan mate of mine I saw tonight reckons Rothwell’s preferred choice is to come here in January. But we only want a loan, so Rangers holding out as they want a permanent sale.

Yes he is. Certainly an upgrade on Jairo.

I think there’s an argument that Jairo is arguably a better player for our system than vini was, not quite as good off the ball, much more progressive on it, think he’s a brilliant footballer, so to say he’s an upgrade in my eyes is quite the shout
 
Suspect something will happen with this over next 24 hours as Rothwell has not been included in Rangers squad for their match tonight - even though it’s a ‘dead game’ as they are already out of Europa League.

100% he’ll be leaving Rangers in this window to go somewhere.

Sheffield United manager Chris Wilder has enjoyed success since convincing former Leeds striker Patrick Bamford to join the Blades on a

free transfer
in November.


Bamford left Leeds under acrimonious circumstances after Daniel Farke decided to push him out of the club’s pre-season plans, and he was forced to train with the Under-21s.

The striker has scored six times in 13 Championship appearances, and fuelled by that success story, Wilder is set to sign one more Leeds promotion hero in the coming days.


Joe Rothwell will join Sheffield United before the transfer deadline​






The veteran midfielder played a big role in Leeds earning promotion to the Premier League. He added depth and Championship experience to Farke’s squad.

However, Leeds decided agains turing his loan into a permanent deal, and he joined Glasgow giants Rangers in the summer window.

But the 31-year-old has had a torrid time at Rangers and has not played in a league game since October under new manager Danny Rohl.

Rangers have been keen to offload him in the winter window, and he is set to return to the Championship before the end of the transfer window.


According to journalist Michael Bleach, Sheffield United have agreed on a deal to sign the midfielder on a permanent deal from the Glasgow giants.


An agreement is in

place
, and Rothwell will soon complete the formalities of his transfer to Bramall Lane in the coming days.


Wilder has been keen to add more Championship experience to his squad, and in Rothwell, he is getting a proven midfielder at that level.

Rothwell would want to forget his nightmare at Rangers as soon as possible and hit the ground running again in the Championship.
