Danny Ward hadn't played for years until the Euros. As long as he is a step up from Wilson.
Danny Ward hadn't played for years until the Euros. As long as he is a step up from Wilson.Distinctly underwhelmed. Blades fans sound like we did when we released Max or Baka “lovely lad”, bit of a worry he’s barely played for years as well. And he’s not exactly young.
Hope we’re going to make an exciting signing this summer and not all average players in their early 30s looking for a last payday. The rumours don’t fill me with confidence though.

Not just yetAre you concerned about our lack of signings?
Where can we pick up one of these good at kicking the ball towards the goal strikers?Been unconvinced by Badlan for a while. Too many cheap speculative ones that might come off... but don't. Kasta, Hillsner. We just can't afford that.
However Moore does fit with the successful L1 and L2 strategy which was largely abandoned in summer 2020 - good English league players being released by their clubs and picked up for free or next to nothing - see Kelly, MacFadz, Allen
On the negative side being described as a 'good shot stopper' is a very low benchmark indeed (see Burge). It's a bit like a striker being descibed as 'good at kicking the ball towards the goal'...
Didn't people get annoyed about Marosi saying he was Doncaster's 2nd choice?
I love how everyone who slates Badland goes “too many shit foreign signings” then lists two in two years. And one of them might still come good.
We have/had them. It's kicking the ball INTO the goal that is the hard part.Where can we pick up one of these good at kicking the ball towards the goal strikers?
More like 4, Jobello, Kasta, Hilsner, Da Costa.

I think it's slightly harsh to throw Jobello into the mix. Granted his injury history wasn't ideal but he was doing OK up until his ACL injury. He was signed for League One and from his performances he didn't look at all out of place at that level.

We need to recognise the economic reality .
The average playing budget on the championship is £25m. We will again have one of the lowest budgets, and one of the lowest payers.
Badlan has to take risks. We don’t have a budget for proven players.
the average championship club loses £33m per annum. Sisu are not going to move themselves into that bracket to allow us to compete.
Would be fantastic if we got McCallum back. I still feel Mason is a good player but seems he is not in favour.I have a feeling we could be confirming one or two today who've been mentioned fairly extensively in recent days
Wouldn't be surprised to see McCallum back at some point later too
Doesn't look so good for Mason, Jobello or Hillsner who I suspect won't be involved with the first team in pre season
Jobello and Dacosta both played in the first team and were regular squad members when fit.
I do find it slightly concerning that we're constantly told that we operate 2 windows ahead of schedule and that we know who we want way before the window opens yet we've entered pre-season having signed no-one and are being linked with a 31 year old keeper who has barely played in 3 years and a 31 year old striker. Doesn't really scream well-prepared.
Don't think the management team want Kasta back around the placeWould be fantastic if we got McCallum back. I still feel Mason is a good player but seems he is not in favour.
I notice you don't mention Kastaneer not being involved. Surely there is no way back for him?
The way it’s going he will be LWBDon't think the management team want Kasta back around the place

Isle of Wight international.. might mean he's away quite a bit, not worth the gamble, imho
KastaHow many of the team that won League One at a canter & the team that stayed up comfortably in The Championship were assembled (on a relative shoestring) by the current recruitment team?
My concern is like most signings Badlan usually says ‘we’ve been monitoring him for a long time’
Hard to monitor someone that hasn’t played in bloody years! They watching videos of him playing back in the days of VCR?

If you listen attentively to the latest training video you can hear our GK coach say “Good Simon” in a drill. #ITK
Let me have my momentIt’s Bilson though that catches the ball when he says that
