Foxy
Maybe just maybe it was the money or lack of AMBITION ?
and not the 170 miles.
Think about it....there is always an excuse with the Blades.

He turned down Forest, saying that he wanted to stay in London.
Why we would he go an extra 40 miles when he wouldn't even go there?

Both very good players at the time. Bucked the norm both before and since.
Gary Speed and Ugo can still run however, Mcgrath couldn't even train his knee was that bad.
Would this be a player we held on to for a long time after premiership clubs started to approach for him? A player we had no real choice in selling. A player who cost us what? was he a deadline day supersigning? Think he must have been.... as they are the only players who can make a difference.
We've still not been able to attract anyone of his calibre for the majority of my lifetime.
Is this like we only beat QPR because they are crap? or Blackwell only hasn't signed anyone because we have no ambition and he likes to insult the fans intelligence?

We also wanted rid because he was cack and trying to hold the club to ransom. Or was it the biggest mistake we ever made as a selling club?
How is it a Blades excuse when the player himself has stated this FACT numurous times?
Still you are right, players thoughts and wants mean nothing in this game... Look at Berbatov... He wanted to join Man U and did everything to try and get there, but Spurs still managed to keep hold of him and sell him on their terms to Manchester City..... Oh... Hang on a minute!

On loan... because nobody else wants him as he's made of glass.
Please tell me how a players decision after they have left us is anything to do with how we conduct business.

Keep on muddying the waters foxy if it keep you happy Jags paid for Beattie and you know it deep down.

Not sure where in my post I said it didn't, or what relevance it has to us being a selling club to be honest.
Surely a selling club would keep the money? not shell out on a premiership striker on high wages?
Apologies if more opinion and fact on the blades dealings "muddies the waters", I guess if we leave the whole Beattie thing out it'd suit the arguement more yeah? so lets rewrite history and just say we sold Jags!

Well by that logic Beattie cost us nothing...
It was basically a swap deal that involved £4m which went one way and then straight back so the basic money exchanged was £0.00. How much did Jags cost us in transfers fees to bring him in? £0.00. So in theory Beattie has cost us bugger all. So we have signed a capped England player with the potential to still play for England for a technical fee of 0p? Can't really complain about that if we're honest
Now your just spouting bollox. Jags had a release clause in his contract meaning that we had very little option in selling him. Ok you could class Beattie in and Jags out cancelled each other out but one hardly paid for the other.
Easy isn't it. No muddying of waters needed

Whatever lads, at the end of the day last summer we made around £3m profit in transfer dealings, this summer are we in profit again or have we shelled out shit loads of cash as someone inferred when mentioning Beattie ? Can someone please enlighten me ?????
night all.

Simple innit we are a selling club, Tonge gone now no replacement.

Oh aye, £2m for Henderson really suggests that we like to sell
Money isn't everything with transfers. We got Sun Jihai on a free and I personally think he is a far better player than Tonge will ever be. Granted it is in a different position but we could sign another player on a free or loan 'til the end of the season (who could be better than Tongue) and we'll be £2m up in profit.

I'll do what I think is best for the forum thank you very much.
If you don't like the way we do things here, or perhaps take offence at the opinions of some of our posters, then I know you have plenty of log-ins elsewhere.
Back on topic?

Summat about whinging and everyone who disagrees with what anyone else says calling them twats... I think it's long past being a sensible and reasoned discussion about our transfer market dealings

I'm coming in on page eighteen, having deliberately not read pages six to seventeen, but I can hazard a guess at what they said.
"No ambition, tossers, twats, Howard, Tonge, Our Terry, Our Gert, creative midfielder, lied to" and so on.
Did I miss anything out?
