Groundhopping Owl Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 I was more impressed with the Donaldson signing before somebody pointed out to me that he's 33 now, but he's still miles better than Ched the ripper, Fat Leon or Lavery and offers something a bit different.

AyrshireOwl Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 so we went for two established championship CM's, and managed to get one. fair play tbf. See Nixon says the winger we were after as well was Jefferson Montero at Swansea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have Rhodes, FF, Hooper and Fletcher of course it's a good signing for them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marcx666 Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 23:42 SONG DEAL OFF Birmingham City were hoping to sign former Arsenal midfielder Alex Song on loan from Rubin Kazan, but that is now OFF. Birmingham couldn't agree terms with his club for the loan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SallyCinnamon Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Donaldson always a tough opponent. Decent signing for dem Blades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Particularly last season where he held off most of our defence and later won a penalty. I hadnt suggested we should buy him but he improves their forward line significantly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owls77 Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Forshaw, Woods and Montero were the failed bids then? Shame no options to use pace in the wide areas! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest domSWFC Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Callum McMannaman to Sunderland. Watch him be great there, like McGeady was at Preston. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorfolkNChance Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Donaldson is an upgrade on Clarke at best, spent 4 months of last season injured and last scored in December 2016. 34 in Jan. Yeah smashing signing, would have loved him here, so jealous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiJ Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Just now, s6 owl said: When did I say we never did have a pool of excellent strikers? So why the ridiculous overreaction to Winnall moving on (who was 5th choice)? We were in a situation where Derby came to us wanting our 5th choice striker and offered us a central midfield in a loan swap. No one was coming in for Nuhiu despite your protestations to the contrary. It's not bad business. Worst case scenario Butterfield turns out to be a bit of dud and is sent back.

I've joked about the piggies business all summer but they seem to be doing alrite with what they've brought in. Our flaws are there for all to see and have been for a while. No pace in wide areas along with little mobility in midfield apart from Bannan and Lee ( when he's fit ) and a lack of strength through out the side. Those flaws have been our downfall for the last two years and probably will be this one too. No ones moaning just for the sake of moaning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theowlsman Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Well, we got one midfielder anyhow. Ideally we would've signed Woods too and found a loan deal for Joao. More options now to get that defensive / attacking balance right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
