Other teams fans on social media can't keep us out of their mouths even more than usual, we've got them all rattled haven't we. This is the season.

 

[Danceswithhorses]

SHFWF

Another new signing with a quintuple barrelled surname lol ?

 

[rob9872]

Probably didn't want to be associated with mauled by the tigers

 

[COVKIDSNEVERQUIT]

Buy (edit) him fucking back. We do what we want!

Would be Great, but Sheff United world probably want £15m.

This is clearly true but I wonder how much they still owe us of the original fee plus we would get 1.5m of that back from the sell on clause. I don't know why I am saying this coz it's not happening...

 

[stevefloyd]

And now you're going to believe us
And now you're going to believe us
And now you're going to believe us
We're going to win a football match

Can't get that last line right, can anyone help

And now you're going to believe us
And now you're going to believe us
And now you're going to believe us
And so do all of Hull

 

[Brylowes]

MVE, EMC, BTA.

FFS

ICKU

It’s like trying to decipher an episode of Line Of Duty. IMO LOL

H = Hamer

 

[Mcbean]

He’ll be a popular lad for the away game v Hull

 

[wingy]

Vik to move in the next 2 weeks and we finish the transfer window with a marquee CM signing

Sorry that's reminds too much of what's his name again!

@Jimmy87 @fernandopartridge

Not sure on the media making out as though it was hijacked. As I said from the beginning, it's been a long time coming. A lot of time and effort has gone into securing him. Stand by what I said, think it's a good signing, shows intent and pushes us toward our goals of a more rotational squad. Good business.

 

[Mucca Mad Boys]

I said it was a decent signing. Just not sure he has the upside some of our others do, and it won’t be an insignificant fee. But that’s fine if it gets us promoted.

He wouldn’t because he’s not being brought in be our number one striker. Scoring 11 goals last season shows he’s good enough to contribute. Compared to Obikwu who scored 3 in 16 at L2 level (and needs a loan to continue his development).

He was due to go to Hull so we kind of have hijacked it

They probably still owe us most of it?

WBA may have accepted a bid from Hull, but the player himself has to want to go and agree personal terms. We've been talking to him for a long time now, I don't believe Hull was ever in his mind. Goes to show that creating good relationships with potential signings can give you the edge when it comes to the business being done. Recruitment team doing a great job imo.

Would be funny as fuck if Obikwu went to Hull as a loan player

 

[fatso]

Would be funny as fuck if Obikwu went to Hull as a loan player

Or WBA

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Or WBA

I’ve heard Lesta are interested if we sub half the wages

 

[Hobo]

Would be funny as fuck if Obikwu went to Hull as a loan player

Not if he ended up getting more goals than BTA?

 

[PUSB-We_are_going_up]

Use Vik money to resign Gus?

 

[Hobo]

I think Hamer will want Prem or abroad with European football.

 

[mark82]

With all the noise on this I'd be surprised if it wasn't announced tonight at this point.

 

[PUSB-We_are_going_up]

Yeah but he loves us and we have Samoan Joes lifetime pass to offer him on top

Just feels expensive @£2-3m.

Got to be double-barrell first names from now on.

 

[PVA]

Dovin

Thomas - Binks

Eccles - Sheaf - Rudoni

Sakamoto - Thomas Asante - Simms - Wright - Mason Clark


Win every game 6-3

 

[Hobo]

I thought that was cheap?

Think what our fans would have wanted for O'Hare if he wasn't out of contract? O'Hare is a year older, played slightly less games, yet BTA has scored double the amount of goals to O'Hare.

 

[Mucca Mad Boys]

Just feels expensive @£2-3m.

Well, there are people thinking Sakamoto is starting ahead of EMC (£4.25m), Simms (£8m) or Wright (£9m)…

Joking aside, £2-3m for a sub striker who’s 25 with a good record at Championship level is a bargain. You’d easily spend that on a top end L1 player. We’ve also weakened WBA in the process. Simms nor Wright will have breathing space if they struggle for form whereas last season, their competition was Godden - who scored 1 league goal after September.

 

[Cov98]

Just feels expensive @£2-3m.

A striker who’s 25 years old and scored 12 goals in 39 games last season, which is what.. 1 in 3?

Seems pretty decent business to me to be honest. Don’t think you’re getting someone with that return for much cheaper.

 

[BlueSkiesForever]

@BlueSkiesForever what are your thoughts on this signing?

I don’t want to go over board and say it’s the best signing ever but I think his experience of the league and the pace he’s got is very good at this level, particularly when you consider Simms is our main striker, having him as backup/alternate would be brilliant in my humble opinion.

 

[The watchmaker]

I think Hamer will want Prem or abroad with European football.

Got to be worth asking the question though. Probably doesn't fit the model for us at 27... but it would be hilarious seeing the Sheffield United fans react.

Don't you think we need someone like Gerd Muller but slightly less stats?

Simms was £3.5m + add ons, not 8. Wright was £7.7m

Just not sure we needed to spend £2-3m on an average championship striker. Could have been a bit more adventurous in the market.
