[gaffablade]

3 pages and still no one has posted this...??!!?

Set of feckin' amateurs.

Because it’s cringe

 

[mattbianco1]

Phoenix thread??? Oh, for crying out loud.

Anyway 'First' in phoenix thread.

Because it’s cringe

Haven't you got a lawn to trim when you've finished smoking your pipe, grandad?

 

[Suomi_Blade]

I am really hoping Nicko is correct on this one, I want a quality Finn playing for us, plus it helps with me promoting Sheffield United over here

What's the verdict Suomi_Blade , good enough player for a promotion tilt?

 

[Flatulent_Bob]

This would give us proper strength up top to win games and win them big.

Get Antman and Soumare and we're only a RB off the complete set.

I'd like Robinson to be understudy to a CB, but he's captain again so guess he's gonna be 1st choice with Anel or Bindon.

Defensive Mid
Soumare
Arblaster
Peck
Davies

Attacking Mid
O'Hare
Hamer
Caceres
Davies


Wingers
Barry
Brooks
Antman
Ukaki
Hamer
Cannon
Oné

Strikers
Campbell
Cannon
Oné
Moore

I still think we need 2 CBs and a RB.

Again on Robinson, he's been made club captain and if you look back we've had people in that role who are generally the longest serving and a "culture carrier" to use a Wilder term. They set the standards within the squad, help the younger players, keep others in line and ensure everyones aligned with what we're trying to do.
For all the Robinson criticism I think he's probably the best placed player in the squad to currently do that, but most importantly, it doesn't mean he's starting every week.

 

[Moan? Nope-I saw Longhorn]

I would hope so.

Hamer and Cooper were captains yesterday.

Why would you have 2nd and 3rd choice captains, who are clear starters behind a player on the bench though ?

Aye
Begs the (bigger) question:
Why would you have “2nd and 3rd choice captains” who (according to conventional wisdom (sic)) are guaranteed to depart (because Sheffield United are an utter & absolute shambles of a football club)

 

[Flatulent_Bob]

Plays wide right and goes down the outside.

...down the outside, down the outside.

 

[CaptainMorgans]

...down the outside, down the outside.

Guess who's back.

 

[Berkshire Blade]

Only see this happending if we lose Hamer. Otherwise it shoves Brooks to bench in what should be a well earned breakout season or want away come january

Not sure Brooks is a 100% nailed on starter for promotion chasing sides yet. Competition would force him to improve rather than coasting to having it regardless

 

[Pintor75]

Wondering, wouldn't Arblaster be captain if he regains his place in the side

 

[Moan? Nope-I saw Longhorn]

Fuck, are we flogging him n’all

 

[tincan]

I'm confused. I thought this thread was all about Adam Ant references then you go drop Malcolm McLaren into the mix...

And a great toilet manufacturer Adamant were too .....

 

[Stretch]

Would absolutely love this to come off. The rumours in the press seem to suggest it is between us and Southampton. Hopefully they aren't playing silly buggers with wages.

 

[Blade56]

Clubs changed to a squad system around a decade ago

When I were a lad and ‘t world were black and white players were numbered 1-11 and only one substitute in case a player broke a leg.

True story

 

[blades_95]

I'm not considering Davies as 2nd choice. I put him 4th in a list of defensive midfielders.
The way we've been playing pre-season with Hamer Central suggests we'll probably line up with just one DCM alongside Hamer, with an attacking Mid behind the front 3.

I've listed Caceres as last choice Attacking midfielder, but also didn't include Antman as an option there who would be ahead of him.

Ukaki is way down list of winger options. Not sure how you got to him being 2nd choice ?

Weren’t saying you were mate, just making general points but you’d listed the options out quite handily to reply to!

Really we want 2 good options per position & there’s a few players who’ve featured a lot in pre-season I wouldn’t necessarily want us relying on over 46 games.

1-11 Them were the days.

 

[Suomi_Blade]

100% yes

He isn't Ndiaye, so don't expect that type of player, but he is an assist wizard who often is in the right place at the right time during the game.

 

[Aston max]

Plays wide right and goes down the outside.

 

[Carlton Blade]

I would hope so.

He was club captain to start last season as well. Sub every week

 

[FriethBlade]

Yeah Peck would never have got a game back then !

 

[Rodley]

Plays wide right and goes down the outside.

View attachment 217261

Plays outwide so he’d be coming in to compete with Barry and Brooks

Perfect, we need a RW to compete with Brookseh

 

[ben1987]

Perfect, we need a RW to compete with Brookseh

Looking at his games played he’s strong in all 3 positions behind a striker which makes it even better. Competition / creativity across all 3 positions depending on who’s in form or injured.

 

[Captain Obvious]

Push the button on this one! Looks a talent

 

[Thrice]

Yeah, I do get the feeling that he would be Hamer's replacement.

 

[Frank the tank]

Yeah, I do get the feeling that he would be Hamer's replacement.

Is it a deep overwhelming sensation inbetween the vagina and the arsehole. ?

 

[Bill puntin]

Things coming together nicely.

 

[Ldn_Rd_Blades]

Another one that takes the ball to the byline and crosses, with him and Barry on the other wing, we should get a lot of tap ins.

Aye
Moore will be mightily miffed if (when?) he fucks off & this land arrives
