Yeah. It was actually a little feature on us. They went to this reporter for a "Sheffield United update". He said to expect 2 loans - 1 domestic, 1 overseas and to expect deals to be done quickly. Never mentioned names but said a Left CB and Attacking Midfielder.

Had we got one win and another draw then I would believe we could have turned this around.

Let's do it, let's win the title!
It's been the perfect storm of bad conditions for us, I expect us to rally but ultimately fail.

Easier said than done especially in a January transfer window.

I'm no longer excited or interested by our potential signings after the dross we've brought in this season

Hardly any point in getting anyone in to be honest.
You would assume it would cost anywhere between 2-5m million in fees and wages to get some players on loan. We wouldn’t be able to sign them - we would be better holding the money for a go at the championship

I'd be moving heaven and earth to bring in Shinji Kagawa who I believe is still a free agent.
Not because I think he'd be any good. More because I used to fanboy over him and the rest of the early 2010's Borussia Dortmund side.
This is probably why I'm not in charge of our recruitment.

Must have about as much knowledge of what is happening as the rest of us !!!!

Sounds like we will get ONE midfielder to hopefully change our entire season around.
Another loan should be the LCB spot which will help us tighten up, but that midfielder has an incredible amount of pressure on his shoulders already.
We need a box to box, ball winning, athletic, creative, goal scoring, strong, quick lad... Good luck with that.

Wilder said he wanted early acquisitions .... probably HRH not backing him?

All managers WANT to get their business done early. Nobody says "no no let's wait until the end of January and then sign the lad, we don't need him for the next 3 weeks"
The fact that it's 7th January and we haven't brought anybody in is absolutely NOT a sign that HRH isn't backing him!!

He could be our new Ravel Morrisson and Jack Rodwell. We sign him and he barely plays a match.

Don't buy into the "no point signing anyone" narrative.
Whilst we aren't going to stay up. Surely most will agree stopping the rot and getting to a respectable point total is still important, as to avoid any hangover / rebuild confidence in players / reduce toxicity amongst some fans etc.
Also whilst its irrelevant as points total is what it is, we have often lost by a single goal. Sure its a buzzword, but 'moments' have dictated perhaps the 5 or 6 extra points away from a normal relegation scrap and leaves us with the embarrassing situation we find ourselves in.
Given the dearth or options at LCB and RCM, a couple of good players in these positions changes 20% of outfield players, and i think this helps us start picking up some points.
Survival is long gone, but think a couple of players can certainly make go down with a fight - which to me remains important.

'Kagawa' looks a bit sexier on the back of a shirt, though.

The last thing we want is anyone getting up to date with how we currently play
We've shit our potful.
We've spunked our moneh.
Dress it up however you like - we have no significant funds left to spend.
I believe we used all of our 20/21 budget to bring in Berge (early) and Brewster.
The former, whilst being a very talented player, has not improved us one bit (in fact it's caused us to play a different way to accommodate him), and the latter has suffered as a consequence of the problems caused by the former!
Proof of this lack of funds came when we didn't loan a suitable replacement for JOC when we were desperate for one.
Expect a couple of loans, yes, but none requiring a significant outlay (and therefore probably no better than we already have).

It is a little disappointing not to have recruited anyone yet, isn't it?
I was a little hopeful that we might bring two, real game-changing, loans.
Then I became, just, a little excited when it was suggested we might bring a player or two on some short-term contracts.
Now I am feeling more than a little deflated.
Maybe when I am entitled to the vaccine things will improve, a little.
Or it could simply be a fact of life in being a Blade.

Apart from "the same thing but worse" how have we changed our play to accommodate Berge?

Yeah but Morrison is cool as fuck. He has "Ravel".
Bit like Colin Kazim-Richards who now sports "Kazim" on the back of his Derby shirt.
I mean you have to be a special kind of fucknut to have your first name or nickname on your shirt... especially if you're british.
Fair point.
Maybe it's more a case of us trying to use him (in various roles) in our established system and his inclusion has made us worse as a team.
I see him as our Faustino Asprilla - remember Newcastle buying him?
They were absolutely flying when they bought him. He was undoubtedly a massively talented player, but he didn't fit into their system and they nosedived from that point.
Otherwise called squad fillers again!

How come whenever we don't spend me moan, and whenever we spend big we assume we've blown the next windows budget?
