Rumour: Blackman to Sheff Utd

[SPARTA]

Their fans seem to think it's a loan with view to perm. If that's true then we're going to make a tidy loss on that one. Well done Brian.

[winchester_royal]

Noooo, I like him

[Pepe the Horseman]

I've decided to write him off already, so I'd be happy with this.

[Royalee]

He's shown glimpses, although with the depth we've got I don't see him getting any chances...nothing signing really in the first place, not fussed.

[TBM]

tbh there are better players out there which we could attract - so really i'm not too fussed about this one

[Norfolk Royal]

Hasn't shown enough to merit starting place so not too unhappy with this one. If it's true of course.

[stealthpapes]

Jewish athletes. LOL.

[St. Brynjar]

I'd like to see him get a chance in the Championship. If we were still poor he'd got 20+ games to prove himself.

[loyalroyal4life]

yes please move him on

[Ian Royal]

I keep forgetting he exists. He's just so far behind most of our squad on quality. His signing was ridiculous and at well over the odds.

It was almost like Brian paid over a million for him just so he could prove he was spending money.

[Barry the bird boggler]

One who still needs a bit of development, however it would help if had been played in his position which is as a central striker rather than being dumped out on the wing.

Good luck to him if it does happen, if it doesn't then I hope he gets a proper opportunity here

[yappy]

Never looked like a footballer to me, but always presumed it was a confidence issue as both McDermott and Adkins gave him chances. Wouldn't be that surprised if he went, but wouldn't mind giving him a shot in the Championship.

It was Dirk Gently who described him as the footballing version of

this^^^

apart from the opprtunity bit at the end
happy for him to force an opportunity, but lol at him getting games here ahead of better strikers

[Ian Royal]

I'm a bit dubious about whether he is actually a central striker. He was played out wide at Utd quite a bit as well. He didn't exactly look much like troubling the goal for us when he did find himself with a chance either.

Strikes me as an ok footballer who just doesn't really have a proper position that he can perform well in.

[melonhead]

tbh i think that most people here, making assumptions based on incredibly brief time spent in a team who were losing every game, dont really know what the oxf*rd he is like as a footballer.

Tbf I think you get a rough idea from watching them play.

[yuomi]

He brings nothing with him. For all his 'potential' he is older than Benteke and not even so far 1/10th the player. He is the collateral of Brian kneejerking in a transfer window. Send him home.

how long did you watch him for exactly?
did a fair few decent things when i saw him play, in the brief time hes been on the pitch for us

i reckon you could get a decent video together of mistakes made by pele
but by watching him over a decent ammount of time youd come to realise he was actually ok

[Judge Drenthe]

He'll only go out on loan or be sold if we are bringing in another striker. Pog sounds like he's off if we get a suitable offer, and we wont sell both target men without replacing surely.

McDermott admitted today Leeds have fudge all money to spend, so a Blackman loan might not be all that unrealistic either.
