Some More Loan Signings?

[Bladesman]

Sheffield United manager Nigel Adkins hopes Alex Baptiste, the former Bolton Wanderers and Blackpool defender, will not be his only capture of the emergency loan window after opening talks with two more potential targets.

Baptiste played 29 minutes of last night’s 1-0 defeat to leaders Burton Albion after completing his temporary transfer from Middlesbrough and is scheduled to remain at Bramall Lane until the end of the present campaign.

The Star understands that Adkins, whose side are 12th in the League One table, also wants to unveil a new winger before this weekend’s visit to Fleetwood Town although he refused to divulge the details of his recruitment strategy following yesterday’s game.

Despite being reluctant to identify United’s targets, Adkins refused to pull any punches when assessing their display against Albion.

Well, needless to say, I'm excited...

 

[Patrick Suffaux]

We must have more loan players than anyone else in the league. I seem to recall McCabe saying a few years ago that we wouldn't rely on loan signings anymore or did I imagine that?

He just says what people want to hear.

Not much of what McCabe has forecast has actually happened.

 

[ChipButtyBlade]

Let's hope Warnock is his next loan signing

 

[Blade58]

I wonder if he'll be 30+ ?

 

[Toronto Blade]

Who in the leagues is returning from having all three legs broken and one eye missing?

 

[Blade56]

Has anyone told him Adam Johnsone is unavailable?

 

[Finn Keane o' Balmaqueen]

Please God.
Not Craig Beattie.

 

[Kev Gee]

Can we get someone to sign the chedster and then we take him on loan straight away?

 

[Esablade]

It's Walcott isn't it

You also imagined he said 'Europe in 5 years'

Think Kev fancies a trip to Wrexham.

Coventry have got their full quota of loanees and, until the wheels came off a few games ago, were doing very well on it, although their loanees tended to be younger and hungrier, if less well paid, than the likes of Hammond or Sammon.

Chicken?

 

[CaptainMorgans]

I can't remember the fans giving less of a shit than this. I'm not bothered about loans, I just hope we get a couple of wins to guarantee safety, then plough the kids in, let's see what they're made of.

 

[Gin&Juice]

Ryan Kent I've heard. Baxter gone, Adkins never liked him.

 

[SUFC Guy]

Replacement for Coutts then?

 

[bladeinspaceandtime]

With Baxter's off the field antics, is there any wonder Adkins didn't like him?

Bang right!
A headless chicken would be first on the teamsheet this Saturday.
