Yes that wouldn't surprise me, but we should ask Maybe young Greenwood might be more realistic, not least because Bruce's Man Utd contacts

 

Greenwood is 17 though... A big ask for him to come in and make real impact.

Pigs have just been promoted with Sharp, Mcgoldrick and flipping Madine upfront. Agree we need some pace and youth in attacking areas, but in terms of quality, we should already have enough with our current strikers. 

 

Certainly wouldnt be bringing a young lad in to spearhead our attack

Make no mistake, the key factor in them going up, was the coaching of Wilder. We actually had more individuals with pace than them, but Wilder has them moving the ball at speed. Bruce is a good solid championship coach, probably what we need right now, but although we are hard to beat, the football is a bit pedestrian

Exactly that. He optimised what they have. They've finished above clubs with teams more talented than themselves.

Hes not re invented football,hes just pinched the old leeds tactic of a high press and condences  opponents into their own half with front foot football,players have to be very fit and train hard,no good for us sicknotes fly in every saturday,its easy to counter by just sticking your two quickest forewards on the half way line,his backs have to gamble,leaves em wide open when their attack breaks down.

They can buy quicker CBs now though,cant see his system working in the prem,theres pace allover the park,even the half backs are quick,theyd ship goals,reckon hel go a solid 541 and try to eak out points against the weaker sides like Brighton

Also George Burley's ITFC team of about 20 years ago, had overlapping centre backs (& a sweeper keeper). 

 

I do rate Wilder as a manager though 

[Morepork]

They’ll need to reinvent themselves for next season I know that. Let’s be honest, survival is success for anyone going up. It will be tough but he’s proven himself at the levels below. Is he tactically astute enough to make the step up? We’ll know soon enough.

Is this still Blades chat or SWFC transfer thread?

There biggest task will be keeping Wilder, you get a Newcastle or other similar mid table prem club without a manager and ur man Wilder won’t go unnoticed and he won’t fail to notice the size of there budget compared to what he’ll get off Utd

Do we have to post about blunts for next 3 months

None of our strikers are prolific goal scorers. It is also about variety you need something different lots of our players were of a typical mould and difficult to change things.

. 

Rhodes was a prolific  goal scorer but not for a long time.

United had high industry players throughout team we do not makes one hell of a difference. Bruce has said its about both pace and work rate (legs). Think that is why he has given Lee a chance as he is top guy in this department at his best. 

 

Otherwise fully agree.

And we say they are obsessed

So anyone got any Sheffield Wednesday transfer news? 

 

Someone sister cuts the the hair of old Burt who works in the boot room, who overheard Bullen say that FF was signing for Cardiff for £3.75m.

Can't agree more bud. 

Its the pace out wide that we need to address.

As you say United didn't have pace up front with the old men, but they had it in abundance out wide.

Forwards don't particularly need pace, more awereness and movement. With pace out wide they just need to make sure they're in the right area's in and around the box to get a goal, fletcher is very good at this, so too was hooper. 

 

As for our wingers, I'm 45 in July with a dodgy knee and I'm pretty sure I'd still manage to outpace reach over 50/60 meters

Cardiff don't even know who their manager is going to be yet.

I had heard something similar a couple of weeks back, no fee mentioned, but about Nando and Cardiff. 

 Hopefully we can hold them to ransom a little and push for £5 mil.

I'd take that for a injury prone player nearly 30 with a questionable injury record and temperament.

Brucie needs to put a rocket up Nuhiu and Rhodes (if we're stuck with him again) and fire in their bellies. 

Nuhiu has been like a wet tissue all season. 

They could still turn out to be along with fletcher our version of the trio from the blunts, but they need to get stuck in, work hard and apply themselves, bit like fletcher has since Bruce's appointment.
