Who next Ravell Morrison. According to Wilder they re-signed Rodwell because he "offered us versatility and gave us options within the group during the second half of last term". He was on their bench 8 times in the league and made 1 appearance - for 15 minutes. Also re-signed 38 year old Jagielka, after he made 2 league starts all season in which they conceded 6 goals (to be fair they were both against Man Utd and they were missing both Henderson and Egan) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smhouston Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 If I was them I'd be asking why Robinson has picked Fulham over them. He was already a Northern boy, they're a more established Premier team (used very loosely), and only just missed out on Europe....pretty damning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For less money in a less interesting place? Living in London would be ace if you're on that sort of money 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ever the pessimist Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 Looking at swapping Robinson for Burke with West Brom. Still only young, if wilderbeast can get a tune out of him could be decent move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smhouston Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 Friendly got abandoned today against top team Dundee United who are a true test than anyone else they could get. Their fans was impressed with Berge... @AdamRosadocs added: “Sander Berge is the real deal Blades fans. Can’t wait to watch him driving at Premier League defences this season. Future £50million+ player on our hands here.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiJ Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 Berge may well turn out to be a very good player. Tbf, the lad was pretty highly rated in Europe prior to his move, so he's clearly got some talent. Of course, if he is a 50 million pound player, then he will be too good for Dem Blades.

latemodelchild Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 I read it as the 15 year old was playing for Dundee. So even more forgettable. Obviously being facetious here as playing against a premier league side at 15 is the stuff of dreams for most footy fans. Doesn't matter who it's against, an amazing thing for him to experience.

Can’t believe how daft this sounds, but it’s true: nowadays you don’t even have to be all that to be a £50million player anyway! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
