Paul Coutts

If you think Coutts was better than Norwood then I give up.

Never saw anyone bow down to Norwood when he took a corner, or take the game by the scruff of the neck. Coutts on the other hand.

I’d give up if l missed the point as much as you.

Love this man.

Is it not possible to have loved Coutts and Norwood ?

Don’t come on here spouting radical ideas

I doubt we'll ever see a United midfield as good as Coutts-Fleck-Duffy again in our lifetimes. Absolutely sublime football.

I think a combination of 3 of these
hamer.
blaster
brooks
Peck .
O'Hare
Performing in the championship not league one has the makings of a better midfield.

That midfield (replacing Coutts with Norwood) got us promoted to the Premier League...

Rumour has it after he wrote this letter he didn't give the pen away

And if Coutts hadn't had the leg break we wouldn't have spent the season looking for a replacement ( Evans etc) Norwood was the one a sublime player but if Coutts didn't have that injury who knows what would have happened. His midfield stats where head and shoulders above others in the Championship

You'd think so wouldn't you but we seem to live amongst many today who are hell bent on creating arguments, polarising opinion, telling people why their view is superior to yours etc etc.

The journey between August 16 and March 7th 2020 was the most amazing time

Both legends. After an underwhelming start under Clough and Adkins everybody loved Coutts. Norwood had a very weird amount of doubters and criticisers however, never understood it, it can’t be denied Norwood took us up an extra level.

We'll never know if the same could have happened with Coutts in the side. The cruelest piece of bad luck deprived us of Coutts, and at the time of his injury he was playing superbly well.
I thought the club did well to get Norwood as a replacement for Coutts, but to my mind it was an entirely realistic possibility that if Coutts had remained a Blade he would have taken the Blades to promotion.

Coutts is one of my all time favourite Blades. We looked lost without him until we found Norwood. Both should be appreciated in their own right IMO. Comparison is the thief of joy.

Be nice but DCF was an unforgettable moment in time.

DCF? The Holy Trinity mate…
