CONFIRMED Luke Freeman

[EddieColquhoun]

No. But Gary Cahill might

WUEDP?????

[Blade56]

Another thing, newspapers are usually a day behind everything that's happening, so I wouldn't read too much into what the West London paper reported.

But nothings been confirmed anywhere should not be forgotten either

 

[Moan? Nope-I saw Longhorn]

I take it that's Ribery following him in, in the flash(ier) motor behind - precipitating Lundstrams departure in the white Transit

 

[Pinchy]

I will be very pleased with the arrival of Freeman however looking at his QPR highlight on You Tube reel I see him more as a threat to Fleck than Duffy.....I was also surprised that he appears to take very few free kicks!

Absolutely no right foot either.....another leftie

If our recruitment is limited to players who will threaten, complement or be ‘alternatives’ then we will fail. We need to bring in three or four stand-out players who will be a significant improvement on those we already have.

Completely agree.....but easier said than done!

 

[BarryBigtime]

As a footballer, I'm sure he can afford to buy a new cover for his spare tyre which doesn't have Chelsea written in big letters.

Chicks dig anything with Chelsea on it mate. Why do you think they have the annual Chelsea Dog Sh*t Catching Competition?!

Me too. I’m pretty sure many fans don’t...

Good job those ‘many fans’ are only talking about it on the Internet then, rather than making the actual decisions.

You’re right there. The idiots aren’t bothered about staying up so long as their Bladey favourites gerrarun in the Premier League. Parochial S2 nonsense. Don’t you dare even think of replacing the ageing Sharp or Duffy, Tufty. Embarrassing aren’t they?

 

[LoughboroBlade]

We need better than Sharp and Duffy for the Premier League I’m afraid. If they start more than a dozen games each I fear for our prospects.

Think this might be the bet opening I’m looking for. Sharp and Duffy to both start a dozen or more games, and us to stay up. All three have to happen for me to win. Same cash as last time?

Absolutely. League games only though. As important squad players they will be givenarunout in Cup ties.

As before, I will be delighted to lose. My club is infinitely more important to me than my favourite players getting a game. Bizarre, I know...

Not really embarrassing, they're entitled to their view even if I or you disagree. Also you present it as a false dichotomy; just because some people think that key players from the Championship deserve a run in the Prem, it doesn't mean they wouldn't accept better, further still it doesn't mean they necessarily think they're good enough, but in certain circumstances they may be our only option and the posters you lambast have a different expectation of what the club is willing and capable of doing transfer wise. It is never as black and white as you suggest, and you have the sole intention of belittling others.

I'm sure I'm not the first to say this to you, but you do not hold a supreme view on what is best for Sheffield United going forward with regards to signings, in fact there are many examples going back over the last few years where the views that you put across in such a cantankerous manner have been completely incorrect. You clearly want what is best and I admire your view on what type of football should be played. But the way in which you speak to other posters in what is in essence a small community of friends and people all with the same interest is disrespectful and rude at best.

It’s just the hand fate has dealt me.

“But I don’t want to go among mad people,” Alice remarked.
“Oh, you can’t help that,” said the Cat: “we’re all mad here. I’m mad. You’re mad.”
“How do you know I’m mad?” said Alice.
“You must be,” said the Cat, “or you wouldn’t have come here.”

Unfortunately it seems Pinchy is now a self-parody. Once a poster who made interesting points and got you to think about things from a different perspective - now, just regurgitates the same old lines. Disappointing.

❤⚔

Excellent, yes very happy for that to be league games.

As before, I will be delighted to win. My club is also infinitely more important to me than my favourite players getting a game. And I’m at the same time not letting my views on a particular player affect their relative importance to the club or what realistically they can achieve for it.

But I don’t respect footstampers, knee-jerkers, forelock-tuggers and people who repeatedly and gratuitously denigrate the club I love and which they, risibly, claim to support.

Just as I don’t respect Trump, Barmy Boris, Ree-Smogg and Weasel Farage.

Should I?

Not when I have Lewis Carroll to do it for me.! I know my limitations...

That's it though, they only denigrate the club in your opinion, you can disagree without being disrespectful, you dont have to respect someone to speak to them respectfully. There's no forgiving being purposely rude to someone in my book, it says more about you than it does them.

 

[Pinchy]

Really? You are not aware of more than a few who only ever contribute to knock the club they claim to support? Isn’t it hypocritical to feign respect to those for whom you have none?

Over the past few days, I've just realised you create a false narrative and then argue against it, getting a few people to agree and a few people to be offended in your wake. It's oddly amusing to watch. I said we shouldn't write Duffy and Sharp off before they've even been tested in the Premier League, and I'm accused of Bladey Bladeness.

"Bladey Bladeness" is just a weird invention in your head.

“Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?” asked Alice.

“That depends a good deal on where you want to get to,” said the Cat.

“I don’t much care where” said Alice.

“Then it doesn’t matter which way you go,” said the Cat.

“...so long as I get somewhere,” Alice added as an explanation.

“Oh, you’re sure to do that,” said the Cat, “if you only walk long enough.”

Very well put Marty. Anyway, let's put the past behind us and get back to the future.

This is a great thread from the Blades Analytic guy:

 

[Satsrag]

Is this still the Freeman thread ? Can we have a new forum section for people who want to argue so that some of us can actually read some relevant posts !?

They aren’t bothered about staying up? Think that might just about be the most embarrassing claim I’ve read on here. I’m sure I can guess the answer but any actual evidence for that?

Pinchy. Top fishing.
