If we get those two strikers on loan.... then no way are we adequately reinvesting the Brooks fee.

Unless we go and splash £5m apiece on a centre half and attacking midfielder?

That’s what I thought...

We seem to be in a place where we are shopping for loans as it’s the only way to get in high quality improvements. That said hope we can bring in a couple of players permanently - maybe Egan for CB??

It Worked out well for Huddersfield tbf.

Our chances will improve there if Brentford do what we couldn't and resist a £12m offer for a promising 20 year old.

But would they be wise to do so? Time will tell but there’s no certainty about it.

We would have been daft to decline £12m for Wantaway Brooks though. Once the cash-hungry leech of an agent clung onto him like a barnacle the story was written.
 
Blades mad is still going?
Genuinely didn't know.

Or rarely gets things right it seems with recent quotes of his that have been shared on here?
That’s not a dig btw as i have no idea of the blokes credentials but there seems to have been several claims from him over the last few weeks and none have come to fruition?
 
Wilder has Confirmed on radio Sheffield - that we have 3 bid in.

Hopeful 2 will join before we go on tour (not sure when that is?)

So it Sounds hopeful there could be some movement soon!

Edit - given we are playing Thursday night we must be heading out soon?

If the young Wingback Norrington and Midfielder Slater are heading out on loan I am guessing one of the loans must be for a WB such as the Chelsea lad, who's name has left me! Another midfielder on loan and hopefully we can pick up Ben Woodburn as our Brooks replacement.

Can't see Gallagher being a loan as there is no value to either club.
Hogan defo would be a loan I would imagine.

Don't think they will both be loans. With the improved budget and 12m for Brooks we must be able.to afford the Gallagher fee, even if it's £6m ?
Click to expand...

£6m now? That’s double what was being quoted on here earlier.

And some on here were unhappy that we’d let Brooks go for £12m

Didn’t realise he apparently had links to Wilder. Hasn’t he been claiming ITK status since way before Wilder arrived?
 

If we don't get Gallagher permanently, I really struggle to see us spending anything near an acceptable percentage of our budget.

Having a rare good budget only to make a substantial net profit on transfers would be the most Sheffield United thing ever.
 
Twirlo:

"gallagher perminent ,hogan loan, the scots lad perm,celtic in for him as well. others loan. theres about 6 perm deals awaiting answers. first come first served"


Let's hope so.

Wonder who the Scottish one is? Who are Celtic in for? Surely not John McGinn?

I hear SG permanent. SH loan.

You might well be right, hope so, be nice to make a player our own.

Maybe that`s why the transfer has dragged on, maybe Mark Hughes was waiting to assess him in training, before allowing him to leave on a permanent.

Flavour of the month last summer, but has had a poor season at Birmingham, so will be interesting if Wilder can get him firing again.
 
Hogan and Gallagher both scored less than half the goals Sharp scored last season despite playing the same number of games.

It's surprised me a lot that there hasn't been another clamour for him - it should be obvious to those in football that he just wasn't in a good environment last season.

As no links appeared, on top of reports of an improved budget, it slowly began to appear realistic for us.

Fingers crossed we can get this one done on a permanent, it would be a very significant transfer and one I wouldn't have dreamed of us making only a few weeks ago. It would represent a big step up for us.

You know football doesn’t work like that.

Hogan and Gallagher are good ages, SG played in a struggling team with no confidence, Hogan just didn’t suit Aston Villa’s style.

Even though we have a better budget it still only allows us to get a certain type, we are not going to get a Grabban or Vydra, we have to look for slightly damaged goods but with a good pedigree and potential. SG and SH fit the bill perfectly.
 
Villa are in financial trouble, maybe the plan was to buy Gallagher and loan Hogan but Villa will only accept a permanent move?
Hogan hasn't had a great season but if he only signed for them in January 2017 how much can his stock have fallen?

You could be right, but whilst I am not generally in favour of loans I'd do loans deals with these two rather than chuck multi millions at them.

I would love to be wrong about the loan, 100% agree, it represents a very significant step up for us to bring him in on a permanent.

I think it’s key to the club that one of these is permanent, provides us with some security against the money we’d be forking our. SG is the easier of the two deals given the state of SHs contract and Villa in general.
 

If either Gallagher or Hogan sign permanently that’ll presumably mean a new record spent on a single player? I’m sure it’d be undisclosed, but either would be more than the £4m we spent on Beattie.
