tosh13 Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 Sheffield United manager Neil Warnock admits his midweek scouting trip to Europe has unearthed new potential January signings. The Blades boss jetted off four days to catch Champions League matches in Holland and Belgium plus a Scandinavian League encounter in Sweden. Warnock told The Star: "I've seen one or two players who have been recommended to us but a couple more have also caught my eye. "The game between PSV and Bordeaux was particularly informative and the match at Helsingborgs was another I was looking forward to. "But the weather was so terrible in Sweden, what with all the rain and wind, that it was really difficult to judge anyone's performance. "I'm glad I came over though and now I've got plenty of things to consider." Warnock is believed to have offered a trial to Egyptian midfielder Ahmed Fathi.

scottf Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 Billy Sharpe has ability,but I doubt his Premiership quality,Hoskins obviously has talent I have not seen him.I would prefer Neil going for Hoskins rather than Nugent who is not as good as Hulse or Webber. hoskins?? Are you kidding- were in the premiership now, whats the point of signing unknown players from league one??? YOu don';t see anyone else doing it do you? United need QUALITY, PROVEN players, not just some bloke who is having a good season! We think too small- that the problem with us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about Doyle at Reading form Cork City £80.000 I would love it we could find a gem like him.Don't forget the lower leagues do have some good players & some older players came from lower league teams.

scottf Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 I agree to a point and yes CKR is playing very well but i don't believe that CKR is good enough to score goals week in and week out to keep us up! The lower leagues DO have good players, that you cannot dispute but id prefer to pay that bit more money and get quality- not just potential!

Defo what you need - too much deadwood out there & not what you need to stay up. Get it all spunked on some proper decent player (if you'd pardon the terminology)!

Englands next Keeper (Ben foster) came from Stoke. yes i know it is championship look at some of the players crewe have rolled out over the years. I think if we can get hoskins cheap then send him out on loan to a championship side would be good business, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
