That's the majority of our current squad, we need a a bit of blue sky thinking not more of the same
 
To get us out of League One, I would say:-

6 foot tall as a minimum, physically strong, fast, skill.

While we get occasional glimpses of small, skillful players doing well in our league, I think big lads are needed to power our way out and back to the championship
 
Might I suggest an ability to play football should be one of the main criteria from the OP

Other than that I can tick all the boxes (save for the under 25 age limit :( )

Intelligence: I have a degree BSc (Hons)

I use to have pace - still have for a bloke who has had too many dinners.

Mobility - I can drive a car

Sadly, 25 years is the key stumbling block
 
Only ex-Derby players for me. It has worked so well so far. Why mess with perfection?

I'm crap at footie and past it, still thinking the phone will ring and I'll be summoned as I seem to fit into Coco's plan quite nicely.

Its really NOT rocket science is it ........ so many teams have figured this out before us but we DESPERATELY want to re-invent the wheel so we've tried for four years with a bunch of weak midgets in the squad and guess what ........ we're still in this fu***ing agricultural division being laughed at by most of the football world !!

Sort it out Blades and NOW please !! :cool:

UTB & FTP
 
1) Must have played for either Scunthorpe or Southampton
2) Must be a hard working, honest professional.
3) Must be robust.
4) Must be able to help in keeping em out at one end, and sticking them in the other.
5) Must have grit, desire, and determination.
 
So long as they can stick in one end and keep it out the other I don't really care...

Looks like NA wants big players, see below from The Star website

The Sheffield United manager made the confession as he presses ahead with plans to sign “a couple” of new players before next month’s transfer deadline.

Adkins, speaking after Saturday’s 2-1 victory over Colchester, said: “I made it plain at the start, right from the beginning, that I wanted six big uns in the team. I want us to be the biggest in the division, I want us to be the fittest and I want us to be the strongest. I want us to be powerful and a threat.”

The former Scunthorpe and Southampton manager, whose side return to action against Swindon Town on Saturday, identified United’s lack of height as a potential weakness immediately after taking charge in June and has since taken steps to address the matter.


Only one of his five acquisitions so far - centre-forward Billy Sharp - is under six feet tall.

Citing the combative nature of League One, Adkins added: “You have to be big. 30 per cent of goals are scored from set-plays and so you need the qualities out there to exploit that and make them count.”
