...which beg's the question, why link to the article then?

The Star love an ‘exclusive ‘ don’t they , still I suppose their angels compared to HITC

A number of Sheffield United’s squad players could leave Bramall Lane on loan before this weekend’s FA Cup tie at home to Preston, manager Chris Wilder has revealed.

Odd how it changes from stars to squad players between clicky bait headline and actual article.

I could pull KST before the weekend,admits me

I would have thought said stars/squaddies would be needed for the Preston game,then allowed to leave

That's one of the muscles around the knee, right?

 

[Bayingblade]

It's a positive thing for Sheffield United for these players to go out and get some game time, for various reasons............

Consequently, The Star need to find a negative spin on it. Use of the word "admit" means our deluded feathered friends can reassure themselves on Porktalk that they are leaving against CW's wishes. I'm amazed they didn't use the phrase " mass exodus" or "fire sale".

Then what the fuck have I pulled then?

Kristin Scott Thomas? Are you secretly Jeremy Clarkson?

Said Chris Wilder nowhere in the article, despite the quotation marks.

And the Blades chief said: “There’s a possibility one or two might leave on loan before Saturday.”

Happy to help, Thorny

It's obviously ridiculous but 'twas always thus.

The clickbait headline has replaced the advertising headline board outside a paper shop. You'd often read 'Blades Sign Prem Star' on the board to lure you into buying the paper for 30p - only to realise we had got someone like Jonathan Hunt on loan.

Where did he"admit" "Blades Stars could be leaving"?

The words used in quotation marks in the click bait, sorry headline ....

Kristin Scott Thomas? Are you secretly Jeremy Clarkson?

Kristin Scott Donkey?

When he said “There’s a possibility one or two might leave on loan before Saturday.”

The Star is quite rightly criticised at times, but my word this thread is a bit OTT and cringe-worthy - all over some innocuous wording.

Every player that has ever played for any Sheffield team has always been referred to as a 'star'. Wilder has openly said players will leave on loan, and even name checked the ones mentioned in the article a few times. Is the the story really worth all the fuss?!

Ben Henehegan & Nathan Thomas, with a total of one appearance between them. Sheffield United Stars?

It's click bait. Not by the article writer, but by whoever put the headline with that story.

 

[Beans]

In modern football transfer parlance, "star" usually means "seventh-choice midfielder who isn't even making the bench".

If they're under 20 and 95% of Blades haven't even heard of them, they're a "starlet".

Anyway, GLTTL etc

You quoted him. In the headline.

Star? Every player? Okay.

And there is the other point. It's not even news as Wilder has referred to it several times.

 

[Champagneblade]

Not anywhere near as bad as this one:

http://www.hitc.com/en-gb/2018/01/2...s-cameron-carter-vickers-of-sulking-after-ex/

"not once, like Cam, has he sulked and come to me."

Wilder clearly means just like Cam, Jamal also didn't come and sulk. Article totally misunderstands what Wilder said and has our leader sniping at CCV!

Right? You’ve lost me on your point. (If there even is one, which I doubt)

I'm sure I haven't but play away.

You really are a "star".
