yes please!

and that would shut them all up about not replacing him etc

or not spending over a million on any player this season

or not spending 2m in the whole window

or only replacing people with players weve never heard of

etc etc

It would also demonstrate that if you want quality, you often have to be prepared to pay for it.

Hmm.

I don't see us paying that for one player outside the Premiership but ok...

Now we need a midfielder with Matejovski crippled or so it seems.

yeah, yeah, 2 million for a division 3 player, no chance - maybe £500-750k plus bits and pieces based on installments...

for the record is this guy of some use then as i don't know much about him....

If that's true then I'd be more than happy for him to be Shorey's replacement.

Chris Armstrong is a not a SUFC regular but a reasonable prospect who has overcome a severe injury.

Ipswich were apparently after him but according to Blades fans he is more of a winger?

Great, lets sign a player who can't get into the first team of another Championship team.

Joe Mattock

by chandog » 11 Aug 2008 11:00

In the Sunday Express it linked us with a £2 million move for this "wonderkid"
Seen him play for England U21's at St Marys last season and he looked pretty good
We definitely need a LB to replace shorey so think mattock would be straight into the first team
What do you all think?

armstrong is a decent player, only being kept out by naiysmith who finally decided he could actually play football.

had a career threatning injury but turned down 250k to try to kep playing and deserves respect for that.

And on the performance of that left back last season for leicester i wouldn't pay 250 quid for him, it was the worst performance i have ever seen, i dont think h e made a tackle all game.

brendywendy seems to have beaten me to it :(
That thread was just people making suggestions on who they wanted to see
I have made a thread that is based on a proper rumour not just peoples opinion
