so i would guess we are offloading two of our existing strikers, Church being one and either Roberts or Hunt.

Church hopefully, but no-one else up front. Roberts could be missing for a while yet and is free in the summer, as is Hunt.

Pepe the Horseman

royalp-we This is a weird one.

McLeod, McGoldrick, Baxter. Three league 1 players who I have seen play this season who I think will bring more than what this lad will bring.

Only time will tell I suppose. But hardly inspiring is it, especially when the strikers we currently have aren't doing so bad - considering the chances they tend to get, the majority they take. In Brian we trust


Dear lord, youre not talking about Izale McCleod are you? I will never respect your opinion again

I assumed he meant Connor MacLeod, of the Clan MacLeod.


And there can be only one.

Saw him on saturday, big lad but has lots of pace. He gave kelly the run around. Sheffield uniteds best player on the day.

Plenty of United fans saying he is good but hasn't been given enough scoring chances by the rest of the team.

we would need to get new strikers in before we move roberts, church and Hunt on, personally id keep hunt, church can go now and roberts in the summer - then again id keep roberts in the club in some form as probably a good influence around the place

Be happy with this one.

He looked lively on Saturday and he's got a bit more in his locker than Church. Having only just turned 23 he's a good age, had a good spell in a Premier League academy with Blackburn and has already notched up nearly 100 appearances with 26 goals, a decent ratio for a utility player.

Whether he'll have much of an impact this season is questionable but he'd be a very good long-term signing for either eventuality come May.

I would keep Hunt for the time being, showed he's Definately no less than a Championship player. Is he Premier League? No

Blackman was Sheffield's best player last Saturday, pretty tireless and tormented our defenders throughout.

Think he would be an asset and if we can continue to give determined individuals a platform to shine, as per Le Fondre, then would rather do that than a marquee big name signing of somebody who has been there and done it and in the final flings of their career looking for a last pay check.

Tests proved Kebe could run as fast as a cheetah. In similar tests Blackman was able to keep pace with a mountain lion.

Actually Kebe can run faster than a cheetah if he wants to.

Roberts still our best current striker, will be a damn shame if he is done.
