Another loan.

So - they’re trying to sign this chap and the whole of Sheffield United - impressive ambition

Another loan.

Saw this guy mentioned in an article with Doyle, yesterday. I wondered when the gossip would start about who he goes to.

Can’t help but think we need a quality commanding centre half with a bit of experience.

I appreciate that it is indeed a proper noun. Please accept my apologies, and I hope I'm not being kicked out just yet.

 

[luffenhamblade]

A good work ethic and calm on the ball. Adaptable as a defender. Could give him the opportunity to shine if we can score as many as we are hoping and he can help keep the back tight.

 

[Wards]

He's a proper player this kid, really highly thought of at City. Whilst I wouldn't be against it, he's another one we'd probably have no chance of keeping and we desperately need some more experience there.

Actually, for most quality media outlets, if an acronym is spoken as a word, only the first letter would be capped up eg in this case, Gas.
If it were spoken as a series of letters, all would be capped up eg SUFC.

Remember his dad, a stalwart of the County game.

 

[Eric_Brooks]

I have a slight concern that he hasn’t been anywhere on loan aged 20 (wiki) and might take half a season to get up to speed.

That said as we have Seriki coming though wokld rather loan a right back and buy a centre back than the other way round

Fair point, no way we would keep him but would be a great addition for this year.

Exactly, Bindon is the kid on loan, we need a Souttar replacement on a permanent who we can build the defence around. However they aren't cheap but we cant keep on loaning centre backs ad infinitum as ypu neve build anything doing that.

Sheffield United enter transfer race for Manchester City defender

Manchester City’s Max Alleyne is now firmly at the centre of a transfer battle emerging within the Championship this summer as Sheffield United emerge as the latest suitor. The 20-year-old has been…

Did well at Watford before being recalled by City to cover for injuries etc. Wonder if it’s one we might go back in for this summer. Bindon will be returning to Forest Alleyne and Simpson-Pusey at the next two off the Man City academy production line at CB. Both would now be very ambitious loan targets at CB and you never know if we did manage to somehow get promoted it would put us front of the queue to sign them permanently when they probably are made available for sale next summer or the summer after although the fees for either would be high.

 

[jimmymuir]

Seemed like he was great during his brief stint at Watford, Man City have a great record of bringing through English kids too - Trafford, Tommy/Callum Doyle, Egan-Riley, Harwood-Bellis, Delap, McAtee etc. Hopefully we can get him on a cheapish permanent deal with a buy back clause included.

 

[3Cheers4Ramirez]

Left footed I think. He's surely one of the best options for a LCB

There don't appear to be many other obvious options for that profile/position

Sheffield United should plot raid for Man City defender who shone at Watford

Sheffield United should make a move to sign Manchester City defender Max Alleyne after his successful loan with Watford

Probably would be worth looking at again.

This would be a very exciting target caveat it with the fact he’s young he’ll make mistakes he’ll need to grow into the season but he did damn well at Oxford and he’ll very likely have a career at the top level

Everything that is wrong with modern football.

There should be a limit on how many loans under 21 top teams can send out a season to stop them stockpiling all the talent.

Or do longer term 2-3 year loans and then the club that has developed them get a small % of any future sell ons for that player.

It's about time the likes of Chelsea and Man City were capped completely from trying to stockpile young footballers.

This is excellent,they should make it like storage wars after the viewing game

 

[Maidenhead]

So City auctioning off their young talent to the highest bidders.

I doubt that any Championship club needs to go to an exhibition game to know who's who so it's just an invitation to make an offer and an opportunity to brown nose City officials.
