Incoming? Only one in before Palace

[Harry's Game]

can actually see osula starting against palace

Af the minute he’s the only fit forward at the club.. looks a shoe in to start

 

[Millhousesblade1889]

Our preparation is quite funny to be fair:

1. Lost Doyle & McAtee
2. Sold Ndiaye our best player
3. Signed a LWB as a back up to Lowe instead of replacement
4. Signed a Striker who hasn’t got a work permit so can’t play
5. McBurnie, Bogle, Coulibaly, Norwood, Fleck all injured.
6. Fans fallen out with each other (at least that’s nothing new)

Any more?

 

[Houso]

Bloody love the absolute bed-wetting over a tweet from El Accounto.

We're 10 days from the Palace game. Trusty looks nailed on in the next 24 hours or so. We have other targets and things can happen very quickly. Let's see where we are a week on Saturday before we start the tantrums...

Jebbison also injured.

RND and Brewster been out for 10 months and still not fit.

Add Jebbo Brewster and RND to No.5

i think Norwood will have served a concussion protocol so should be okay for selection for Palace

 

[Bl4desutd]

So as it stands before the new season starts, with us having a head start in terms of time on the competition, this is the squad:

Wes / Davies
Baldock / Bogle
Lowe / Larouci / RND
Anel / Bash
Egan /
JLT /
Norwood / Berge
Slimane /
Fleck / Osborn
Traore /
McBurnie / Brewster / Jebbo / Osula

Look... I'll back Hecky and the boys with all I've got. But this from a 'board level' perspective is unacceptable!

I think you’ve forgot Louie Marsh

 

[gaffablade]

Fair enough. Be interesting who plays up top and midfield.

Slimane - Berge - Fleck?

Osula - Traore?

Jesus H Christ I hope that's not true!

 

[LJBlade]

You stand out like a sore thumb on here as someone who regularly responds unnecessarily to people as though they're imbeciles, which is good going.

It wouldn't be so bad if you weren't so delicate when even mildly challenged.

Great. If you've got any other criticisms you'd like to level at me put them in a DM like last time, that way we won't be clogging up the forum with such pointlessly off topic discussions.

For what it's worth, the post you originally quoted was actually meant to be a light-hearted, tongue in cheek comment but I'll hold my hands up and say the way I wrote it could have meant it was easily misconstrued.

 

[Skiliman]

It’s a complete joke that our transfer activity is reactive rather than proactive. That first game is so important

No offence taken from me. Now let’s move on… and get back to slating the board over this miserable transfer window!!

 

[Rocketmark66]

To those that are thinking that he's got a knee injury, i don't think he's playing too shabby on one leg..

 

[S6Blademan]

Will McBurnie or Jebbison be fit in a couple of weeks? Are we going for Osula up top? I’m assuming the 1 will be Traore, unless there’s an issue with that - hoping not. (EDIT - didn’t realise Traore had signed formally)

Frustrating as Palace and Forest are two games we need to try and get something out of.

1 in before the palace gane is pathetic not really anyway you can put a positive spin on it

 

[Addison]

At present he's irrirating more than not.

It's easy to say ignore him even if you don't follow him on Twitter, but he's everywhere due to sharing.

The way he's tried to turn Fitzy's reasonable tweet around against him is pathetic. If he is unofficially a Prince PR man, he's doing a very poor job for me.

He's just validated everything Asaba pointed out in that 1 tweet. PH and Paul Mitchell must be tearing their hair out.

Even if this is true, which I doubt, did he not realise by posting it this would have a negative ripple affect amongst the fan base as borne out by the number of pages in this thread. If you are posting out messages on behalf of the Club which again I would challenge, there is a responsibility to assess the impact the message will have. In one post El Accounto has set the Prince up for a difficult series of questions on this subject if he is interviewed by Sheffield United Way and any others.

It is also a sad indictment of the Clubs whole approach to communications that fans are hanging on the every word of a non Club employee overseas accountant. There has to come a point where Bettis and others react and say this line of communication has to be closed down because a little bit of knowledge as has be shown many times in the past can be dangerous.

The club needs a better line of communication. If anything PA should just put official statements out via the club website or better yet via SUTV. Like I have said elsewhere doing interviews with Sheff U Way is still a stage managed interview where PA can choose which questions to answer.

 

[scouseblade]

Can donkey play up front?

We've had a few upfront over the years.

 

[thehet]

I’m almost certain Mr Smith said weeks ago that we had a replacement lined up for if Iliman was to go? Maybe someone can find the quote.

Agree Club need to look at its whole approach to communication. I've less of an issue with SUW doing interviews as we at least get a visible presence with the Prince. SUTV would be more of a staged managed affair imo. If ever there was an opportunity for PH to close down these twitter mutterings its tonight in his interview with Radio Sheffield.

 

[JS Blade]

I reckon that when quoted one more in before palace this was already said with the intention that trusty is already nearly done.

The additional signing prior to palace is Tommy Doyle

 

[JS Blade]

Wes
Anel
Egan
JLT
Baldock
Berge
Norwood
Slimani
Doyle
Lowe
Mcburnie

 

[ReeceofBDTBL]

Well it fucking shouldn’t be, he should be a given and we should be bringing in at least one attacker.

We’ve sold N’Diaye ffs what ever happened to not selling until you have a replacement lined up

Totally get it - i just can't see it pal

 

[moody1889]

Who is part of the shower you mention. We knew at the outset we had a limited budget and it has been disclosed several times how we had to go about recruiting. We now have got a slight change in circumstances due to the whim of an individual player. The sale has not even been confirmed yet and it’s not as if we are getting a massive wind fall. I’m sick of people joining the forum just to have a dig.
A very good player has gone where we will try to adapt our play around. That is the true test. There will be incomings but no world beaters. We already knew we would struggle with or without Illy.

The fact we have a limited budget is embarrassing in itself given the amount we have just got for promotion.

 

[loyalblade95]

Other than the fact that we had debts to pay off to make sure that we are financially stable as a club going into the new Premier League season, some of which were responsible for putting us in a transfer embargo for most of last season.

Covering debts partly brought on by our last visit to the prem and the way we spent money.

Which debts?

Just one point of order before moving on.

You started the DMs. My DM was in reply to yours where you told me I should ignore you if I didn't like the way you spoke to others.

 

[Houso]

BIG fan of forum beefs. This one looks like a doozy.

 

[Snowflake]

It’s not the club’s fault that generally loans are not available until the end of the window and that someone thinks it’s a good idea to begin the season well before the window shuts.
Surely all transfer activity inwards must be reactive in order to fill vacancies. Being proactive could give you too many in one position.

Pathetic, self pitying, so called supporters,who never miss an opportunity to decry, ridicule and criticise. That's another one for you.You and me have no idea how the signings and the season will actually pan out. I honestly thought we'd no chance of promotion last season. I was hopelessly wrong but I'm intelligent enough to know, that football often surprises. For God's sake just give the club a chance and actually support it. Your list by the way, will be replicated by just about every team in the country.

Your last statement is unlikely to be true.

PL clubs don't prepare for a new season in the way we have.
