Potential PL Recruitment Strategies

Kyle Walker and Harry Maguire would be some pretty serious intent, although Maguire seems to have rescued his reputation now and his wages would be astronomical

I can’t see any chance of Maguire. There would be a few well established PL clubs who would pay him much more than we could.

If we go up, our recruitment strategy is going to be absolutely crucial, it currently all seems a bit ‘back of a fag packet’. I can envisage the Americans projected spend to become an established Premier league team, would be like nothing we’ve ever seen at Bramall Lane. My worry is that if they fail to achieve that objective, boardroom benefactors may become disillusioned with the Sheffield United project, move on and write it off as an impossible dream.

I’d honestly prefer us to win at Wembley, but due to some administrative oversight, the FA impose the unprecedented penalty of keeping us in the Championship. Allowing us the time to complete the new training facility, establish a Cat 1 Academy at Shirecliffe and create a proven, modern recruitment strategy that together with the academy can sustain the club as a successful Premier league fixture for years into the future.

Maybe we could do that whilst yo-yo’ing between the leagues, but I never want to sit through another season like the last one

Best chance of survival is by trying to go for PL experience. Difficult thing is that PL experience costs a lot in wages.

IF ! We secure promotion we have to admit that it's highly likely whatever recruitment strategy we employ it'll be a relegation struggle all season .
In my opinion it won't be about attacking flair it'll be about being resolute. Doubt it'll be pretty to watch but if by some chance we did stay up there's plenty of time for pretty football .
For my pennies worth we need the best defence and defensive midfield we can afford, guys who are big enough to grab something from a set piece .
Just hope IF promoted we can stay in games for longer than 70 mins .

Regardless of what happens at Wembley, we need to start investing in international scouting and data analysis. Players with PL experience have high wage demands and players in the championship are significantly over-valued. There are Hamer's still playing for PEC Zwolle out there.

Depending on which division we are in next season, there are currently 6 players at PEC Zwolle worthy of looking at

Not sure Maguire will go anywhere this summer as he's got a year left on his £190k per week Newton Heath deal. The move to West Ham last summer fell apart because the Hammers wouldn't meet that wage and NHLYR wouldn't subsidise him to move.

If we stay up (and I know it's a big 'if') maybe we would have a chance when he's on a free next summer but it would be the emotional pull rather than the financials that would get him back.
