Player Suggestion Souttar played and scored last night

[maxstertheblade]

I’m starting to think we’ll actually get him.

I didn’t particularly want to see us spend big on him due to past injuries but I think wilders interview today probably suggests it’s been closer than people realise. Sounded like a plea to the board for a couple extra million to get it over the line and got a feeling they’ll let him have his first choice.

If he stayed fit it would be a massive boost and a big help to Tanganga. Could be like having two new signings

Currently just come on for lecister in the second half

 

[Fox1884]

Definitely wants out - looked like he couldn't be arsed when he came on haha

 

[ben1987]

I was only basing it off a hunch

And the fact that wilder hardly ever names a target never mind openly discusses one.

He’s definitely trying to lean on the board a bit

 

[Bladesman]

He's handed in a transfer request apparently.

[Kenilworth]

That’s of course assuming McGuinness would be happy dropping a division and probably taking a pay cut

I’m not sure I care about what McG feels.

 

[UddersBlade]

I think Wilder sees Souttar as our new Captain. Certainly the type of leader we need in this team. Fingers crossed.

 

[KMC-1889]

He knows he’s unlikely to get him so he’s leaning on both boards to do a deal.

What do you think Wilder should do?
Say nothing and hope the magic tooth fairy makes his wish come true?

Just done a fact check. The tooth fairy is disinformation.

I think hes more playing mind games and leaning on the player to help push it through more than anything, unsettle him more.

 

[AnstonBlade1]

Sounds like we’re putting all our eggs in 1 basket again and just targeting one player

The season hinges on this signing

 

[Weasel]

The season hinges on this signing

Not necessarily on signing Souttar. But it certainly hinges on United signing a couple of out and out brick shithouse type centre halves who know the art of defending, and being competent at heading, kicking, and organising. With a fully fit Coops and a strong defence again we will suddenly become a very decent Championship team again.

But yes, Souttar would be a very welcome signing, and many were calling for United to sign someone like him for donkeys, before we finally signed 'a proper' old fashioned centre half. And hey presto...look at the difference it made.

Burrows being told that he needs to try and stop a cross coming in, also wouldn't hurt.

 

[Bladesman]

All down to Alan, he was first to say we should go back for Souttar.

Stick to potholes Alan and blowing smoke up Wednesday fans backsides.

 

[Kenilworth]

That statement suggests to me that Wilder isn’t confident that the deal will be done.
It smacks of a shot across the bows of the board and the contract team.
By confirming there have been talks, ahead of any signing or failure to sign, he is illustrating where the accountability sits.
This, as opposed to stating post failure to land, that we had been in for Souttar.
With three weeks to go before the season I am not really confident that Harry’s final destination will be Bramall Lane

Alternatively, i read it the other. I think hes confident it will be done. Hes just leaning on the board to see if it can be tied up quicker than on transfer deadline day.

He doesn't tend to name players unless he's confident of them coming
