Bablemikey Posted 17 August Posted 17 August We can't have a keeper, both centre backs, the left back and the 6 all being weak in tight play and progressive passing in this system. At the absolute minimum a couple of these need to be much much better in this aspect of our game so I expect we will see some changes. 4

CornwallFox Posted 17 August Posted 17 August If it's true we've been offered anywhere close to 8m we should be snapping their hand off. It's been painfully evident in the first two games why he's never been trusted before now. 4
HitchinFox Posted 17 August Posted 17 August Souttar has played just 45 league games over the past four seasons. That's barely 10 per season. You need many more to develop to your full potential. He's 27 now, so I suggest time is running out for him to do that. While he'd be absolutely fine at this level (if he'd give it 100% – and I'm not sure he did against County), it would be the smart move to cash in on whatever we can get for him now.

He played in a deep block system and put a few shifts in. That style isn’t going to get us out of league 1. It was a pearler in fairness wasn’t it 😂

lcfc_forever Posted 19 August Posted 19 August Didn't Wilder say another bid had gone in at the weekend? Would be surprised if this impacted them going ahead with the deal as they would have known it was a likely scenario but Souttar may be more attracted to Wrexham if they're still in for him.
coolhandfox Posted 19 August Posted 19 August Wonder what Souttar thinks. Could mean we are stuck with a player who doesn't want to be here.

From Reuters: https://www.reuters.com/legal/transactional/sheffield-uniteds-ex-owners-winds-up-company-which-bought-club-2026-08-19/ Quote Sheffield United's former owner on Wednesday won a bid to wind up the company that in 2024 bought the second-tier Championship side, which said the High Court's decision was not an issue for the club. United World, led by Prince Abdullah bin Mosaad bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, filed a winding-up petition last month against COH Sports Bidco Limited (CSBL) over what it says is a 35 million pound ($47.43 million) debt. United World Holding Limited's petition to wind up CSBL was granted by a judge at London's High Court on Wednesday after a brief hearing. A Sheffield United spokesperson said in a statement that "this High Court decision is not a Sheffield United Football Club issue". United World did not immediately comment. COH Sports – led by Steven Rosen, founder and chairman of Resilience Capital Partners, and Helmy Eltoukhy, co-founder and chairman of biotech company Guardant Health – bought 100% of the club's parent company Blades Leisure Ltd in 2024 through CSBL. But, in June, Sheffield United said 1919 Partners LLC was the parent company of the club, a move United World this week said "appears to be an attempt to avoid paying CSBL's creditors". United World this week said there is "a real prospect" that the English Football League (EFL) may have to impose a 12-point deduction, as the EFL's rules "would be undermined if owners were able to acquire football clubs without paying for them".

I can see him going out on loan with an obligation in the last few days of the window.
