This is the only bit of your post I disagree with. They are different types of player. If Blaster hadn’t been injured Peck would have been competing with Souza for a place, not with Blaster. Our ideal midfield two is Blaster with either Souza or Peck. Without Blaster our creative and attacking edge is dulled & Peck hasn’t been able to compensate for that because that isn’t his game. Nor has Souza for the same reason.

I agree that there’s no rush to bring Blaster back in but when he does return then based on recent form & trajectory he would be replacing Souza, not Peck.

Exactly...Blaster has still scored more goals this season than Souza and Peck combined.

Souza hasn't looked the same since his injury and if anyone is leaving I'd sooner be it him than Peck. I think Blaster and Peck could be a great combination in the championship. If we manage to go up we will probably need more experience in there

Remind me who signed Peck

I like Peck but the sky isn't the limit for him. He's not big enough or technically gifted enough for that. His intensity is his best asset but imo that should be a given for any player. I saw someone post about who would play for England out of our players on here and had to laugh when someone mentioned Peck tbh.

He looks pretty big to me how big do you need to be
As far as ability, I've not seen a first year as promising from any United player including walker

Sydie is very ambitious. If he gets a good offer I reckon he'll be off, especially if Wilder goes.

He’s under contract so can’t “just be off”.

It will all depend if we get a great offer and have plans for alternatives lined up.
As he’s under contract for a change, Sheff Utd hold the power not the player.
We can’t lose….if he stays it will be great news and if he goes…we’ll receive a big fee, more than his current value…so again, great news.

Note: There’s plenty to like about Peck, would prefer us to keep him because his improvement in 1 season has been impressive
but he never comes close to scoring and doesn’t create goals either.

Ref your first sentence, I realise that, but if he's not 100% committed to us I'd rather we took the money.
 
He's had a great season and will 100% win the Young POTY.

I realise it's only a computer game, but FC25 ratings constantly change with updates based on real life.

When the game was released in September 2024, Peck was rated 58 (out of 100) with a career potential of 72.
The latest version of the game, just 6 months later, he's rated 65 with a potential of 81.

1745500723466.webp

For comparison...

When we signed Rhian Brewster, FIFA 21 had him at 69 rated with a potential of 80.
In the current game, he's still 69, but his ceiling is now just 73.

Yeh fair enough, you do get the odd player who throw their toys out of the pram.
However I reckon we’d offer a new contract, at least double his current wages so he’s paid the same as the other regular 1st teamers
And we’ll put in a buy-out clause based on failure to be promoted with Sheff Utd, so at least if he performs well with us and a PL club comes in for him.
We can’t stop him leaving if we fail to be promoted and another club meets a set valuation.

What's his stats like compared to Arblaster? I know hes been injured and played abit in the PL but as good as Peck is he lacks goals and assists which is needed.

Infact all our centre mids do...

From a quick scan of trnsfer mrkt:

Peck - 40 games, 0 goals, 1 assist
Arblaster - 28 games (12 in prem), 2 goals, 1 assist
Souza - 69 games, (36 in prem), 1 goal, 1 assist
T Davies - 21 games (9 in prem), 1 goal, 1 assist


its a bit of a barren wasteland for goals and assists but Arblaster the one who would've probably helped Gus out from midfield by chipping in with half a dozen.
 

Doesn’t hassle enough, not enough professional fouls to his game, doesn’t hook it on enough, not a fan of his elaborate decisions, doesn’t play it simple most of the time.

Get him sold. With the money we make we can get a good 4 or 5 journeymen, workmen footballers who’ll give 100% and rely on pints rather than techniques.

contract situation

Yes he had a year left on his contract, but at that point we were a Premier League club and we're talking about one of the Championship players of the season with a wealth of goals, assists and match winning contributions behind him.

Even with 20 years on his contract, there's no way Peck is worth that

He's worth what we say he's worth
 
If we fail to go up I expect Souza to be sold & Peck to start in midfield with Arblaster in August. Assuming that Blaster can recover from his bad injury - that would give us a great young midfield - still one of the best in the Championship..

Even taking the Blades-tinted specs off he's proven every bit as good (or at least comparabale) in the Championship to the likes of Archie Gray and Alex Scott et al. Yes he still needs to develop and so do those two but no reason we shouldn't be looking at the £15-20m mark.
Click to expand...
Give over. He'd a talented lad and done great for his first season but not in a par with those two. Scott had played almost 100 games for Bristol City and was their best player. Grey played almost every game and was a star in a team of talented players.
 
I share some of the reservations on Peck that others have, but also remember thinking Harry Maguire was unlikely to carve out a career at the top level.
Regardless of what the average social media influenced fan thinks, he's had a wonderful career.

We all (mostly) thought the same of Calvert-Lewin.

Peck is improving quickly and I wouldn't be shocked if someone put in a bid.
I still expect Osula and (believe it or not) Jebbison to have great careers in the PL, so I wouldn't rule out Peck.

And Peck's carried a midfield for 40 games for a team challenging at the top end of the division rather than in a pressure free environment like Bristol City. Archie Gray had played 40 games, mostly at full back.

United fans are world class when it comes to talking down their own players and talking up other teams players though, I'd expect no less.

There's even some muppet saying he's not that good a page or two previous ffs. I can only assume they have eyesight issues, know fuck all about football or it's some sort of coping mechanism.

Carried Vini has he? Pressure free? Lol. Seriously, give your head a shake. He's not as good, at the moment, as either of those were when they were sold.

I suspect that's a tactical direction from the manager. The xGs this season are woeful too: Peck on 1.9, Davies on 1.0 and Souza and Arblaster on 0.7 each. The combined output is a bit low this season (3 goals vs 4.3xG) but it's not miles off.

Wilder is about as rigid a tactician as they come. He doesn't like long range, low percentage chances and he doesn't like his two 6s (holding midfielders) leaving their positions. That's reflected in the stats.
 
The way Peck has played this season has shown there is a real player in there in my opinion.

There are many elements to his game that need improvement, not least him contributing goals and assists wise much more and sometimes being braver with passing rather than taking safer routes. (Sometimes)

But he has the attributes to really go far. Doesn't mean he deffo will, but his career looks really quite promising.

He's under contract but I would think deserves a new one this summer as his previous one was signed before he cemented himself as a starter.

As for value, because of the above you are essentially looking at a good championship midfielder that has the potential to go very far.
With that in mind and the market the way it is bids would have to start at £20m for me.

Hopefully we go up because even if we come back down it's a way to keep building the team up. And you never know either should we strike lucky with transfers and the new owners put plenty in there's a slim, slim, slim chance you stay up.

But if we don't we do have players with worth to cash in on to settle the books a bit. You'd think that there would be suitors for Cooper, Hamer, Souza, Peck, Anel and even Campbell. Now we wouldn't want to lose all of them at all. Ideally none but realistically we would need to lose some.

I'd think that Hamer would be the most likely to move. Would think that at his age he may well think he needs another crack at top level footy and we might even cash in at £20m maybe to settle things. Anel will be entering his final year of his contract. And be stunned if there wasn't interest in Cooper.

If we didn't go up I'd have absolutely no issue with moving Hamer, Anel and Souza on and we be reasonably confident of the money being fully reinvested by the club.

Have to disagree with this. He is definitely big enough, wins his fair share of headers in centre mid, and I'm not sure which player you've been watching, but not technically gifted enough? The way he receives the ball, his balance on the ball and the way he often gets out of tight situations demonstrates considerable technical ability. People mention a lack of goals etc, which I don't think is too much of an issue if he's not being used in that role, but the only thing that may hold him back is pace. That may hold him back reaching the very top, but for his first year in proper football the kid is an amazing player.

Those fifa ratings are aload of crap.


Brewster better than Peck, pretty sure Arblaster is lower than Robinson and Cannon is our highest rated just behind Hamer?
