Watford's John-Joe O'Toole has medical at Sheffield United

The likelihood of John-Joe O’Toole moving to Sheffield United increased with the news the Watford midfielder had a medical with the Blades yesterday.

O’Toole is understood to have been in Sheffield yesterday to have a medical after the two clubs reportedly agreed a fee.

The Republic of Ireland Under-21 international, who spent the end of last season on loan with United, could be the third Hornet to join the Blades this summer.

Lee Williamson has already moved for around £500,000 and Watford have accepted a bid of £1.8 million for talisman Tommy Smith.

Sheffield United manager Kevin Blackwell has confirmed the club are in discussions with O’Toole, Smith and Bristol City’s Michael McIndoe.

Blackwell told BBC Radio Sheffield: "We are in discussions with all three and I am sure fans will agree they are all quality players.

"We have to build a squad that will give us more options next season."

dont see the point of O'Toole to be honest.

 

[Blades-7]

I do. I think he's got a lot of potential, he showed that in his first season at Watford and we havn't seen the best of him yet.

 

[keenzy]

he's only a young player, and has shown bits here and there. Smith on the other hand... im unsure of....

I dunno, he was pretty good in Supergirl...

I think he's a good player and all that, but if we've signed Williamson, I don't really think we need O'Toole, but if it strengthens the depth of our squad then I'm all for it.
