Liaoning FC are interested in bringing Li Tie home for a second stint at the Chinese club.

According to reports in China, Liaoning's general manager Cheng Penghui is keen to help end Li's miserable spell at Sheffield United, where the 30-year-old has only managed one appearance since joining the club at the start of last season.

Despite recent reports that the Blades plan to hold onto Li until the end of the season, it is understood the club may let the midfielder go earlier if the price is right.

"I am definitely interested in having Li Tie back at Liaoning," Cheng said to the Chinese media.

"However it depends on a number of factors such as the transfer fee. If Sheffield United price him above our budget, then we are unable to commit to a deal."

The Blades are believed to be favour a loan move for the China international, but Liaoning have stressed they want to make the move permanent.

Don't know why we cant just give him a go.

If we are struggling for midfielders.

Anyway I guess it looks like he is going going gone really.

Another waste of wages.

Did you ever see him play.

Whenever he played for the reserves he was poor to say the least, so why give him a go????

 

[Bladesman]

Yeah I have and to be honest he is better than nothing.

Id give him a punt since we are pissing in the wind trying to land a midfielder.

He's never played better than the one's in the first team.....unless you know different?

I'd love to know which games if he has?

Well when ive seen him in the 1st team he has performed alright.

Also being injured half the time hasn't helped either.

To be honest he realy is wank, he's one of them players who falls in to the why the fuck did we sign that pile of shit category along with Gerrard and Seck. If we're looking to bring a fresh face to the starting xi, it should probably be one of the youngsters who gets a chance, after all they'll be eager and passionate and probably be better than tie as well. for me id be looking to play Ashmore or Law who ive seen before and both look reasonable players
