Speaking after Monday's clash against Wolves, Chris Wilder says signing a striker before the transfer window shuts next month is a priority, especially after scenes of meltdown and pandemonium on a Blades fans forum yesterday evening.
With Lys Mousset (toe) out for 'a while' following a minor operation on a rare ligament issue, the Blades boss knows reinforcing his options at the top of the pitch to 'compliment' what is already at his disposal is going to be crucial. Sander Berge and David McGoldrick were only fit enough to feature as substitute against Wolves having picked up knocks whilst on international duty, but Wilder is now looking to 'ramp up training' to ensure his side find their best form as soon as possible.
Added to this, the threat of lynch mobs and vigilantes from the S2 4SU fans forum rampaging across the Bramall Lane car park waving clubs, baseball bats and shoes makes Wilder's search for a striker an even more urgent matter.
"I couldn't believe what I was hearing from Knilly last night" he said. "He was keeping track of the Shoutbox and Match Thread and was reporting to me of our supporters displeasure". "Each pass that went astray, each move that broke down, every time that Billy was offside, left me in fear of my life".
Wilder added "Despite the League 1 Championship with a hundred points, despite the Bouncing Day massacre, the promotion to the Premier League and being within touching distance of Europe last season, I find myself having to bow to the superior knowledge of the Shoutbox and Match Thread participants on S2 4SU" "In fact" said Wilder, "I had to ask Knilly to google if it was possible to be relegation certainties after the first 45 minutes of a new season".
Meanwhile, if he is still in charge of the team on Thursday, the Manager hopes the Carabao Cup tie at Burnley will see a number of players, including Oli Burke, get some much-needed minutes under their belts following a 'broken pre-season'.
