Transfer talk - summer 2024 (2024)

Blade for Life said:

The one thing all SUFC fans need is clarity. So many different rumours about Wilder, the potential takeover, one minute we do have money to spend the next we don't.
I know its what we have all been used to for years but we derserve better.
I get the club is trying to be more confidental and that is a good thing but they never do anything to quash all the uncertainty.
I think what happens between now and the end of the transfer window should answer alot of questions.

I agree in general, but the club should keep its own council until it has something to say. Just because we've got a bunch of know-nowts on Twitter shouting 'we'ers muneh gone.?' doesn't mean they deserve an answer. The clubs job isn't to stroke the fur of the half-wits

I also agree about the half wits on Twitter but if at least the club could confirm if Wilder is staying or going, it would help.
There is certainly alot of time left in this window but I really hope we have a decent preseason that includes most of any new signings. The first game being in 4 weeks.

Be careful - remember Marvin Johnson - awful for us - better at his next club.
At times Lowe has looked decent for us - but he's struggled with injuries and so his career has stalled.

Not a Premier League player, but a good Championship player.

I agree abart Lowe, Germaine,yes he's not been fit often enuff but i don't think he was as bad as some of our fanbase appear to think.UTB

When fit, I think he is an excellent championship player. Indeed, I’m rather sad to see him go.
Under a better fitness and conditioning coach, who knows, he might avoid any more injuries for a season or two. The he really would look a good buy for whoever bought him.
Depends on wages though.

You know RC it will be all over the pig casts that one out of 30000 Blades rates him. Only going to be a bit part player for us, for the Pigs he'll probably be a superstar until they've seen him play a few games. Went down the Superstore this morning and it's the first time I've not found a parking space. Lots of work going on especially around the hotel.

Does the club know if Wilder is staying or going.? The new owners might not want him, but until they've paid their brass, HRH might be happy to let CW carry on. If Wilders future is dependent on other things, yet to be concluded, I really don't see what business it is of ours.

Well it makes a change from the miserable Old Gits Club - of which I have been a proud member for many, many years - even before I became an old git.

Chairman has now said he wants to keep a minority stake in club. Takeover? Forget it.
