With CoG signing for Brighton NC will now turn his attention to Chris Wood of Leicester and Sam Winnall of Scunthorpe as main targets.

1.) 20 Jul 2014
I work with Chris Wood's girlfriend and can categorically say that's a none starter. He's no interest of joining any league 1 side.

How can you work with his girlfriend?? she is nigel pearsons daughter and does not work

try harder next time pal

If i'm being honest I don't think he will bring anyone in. he has diego, baxter and murphy along with Porter and McNulty so I think NC will try to cultivate a partnership there until if as expected Evans returns.

I am thinking the same, do we really need a striker if McNulty turns out as good as Scoogs and Baxter and Diego looking good this year with Baxter a lot fitter and quicker and Diego looking like he's recovered and pushing for a first team spot himself. I recon we could sign Mason Bennett on loan until January when Ched is likely to return as Clough loves him

5.) 21 Jul 2014
Im a big fan of baxter and Diego but I can't see either of them scoring 20+ goals, also think mcnulty will need time to settle and won't feature to much this season. A proven goal scorer is a must for securing promotion

Sorry for being a bit thick but I thought Ched was coming back in July. As not heard anything for a while wondered if it had fallen through with all the oposition to him coming back!! Do we actually know he will be returning or is it all just talk. I personally hope he does from a football point of view as we need a good striker its been a while since we had one!!.

I can't picture Chris wood stepping into league one, he would be a great loan signing but I just can see it happening, Sam Winnall however is a more realistic signing plus he was top goal scorer in league two with 23 goals in 42 appearances

8.) 21 Jul 2014
Hearing rumours at the Blackpool end that we're after our 4th signing from the and that is striker Steve Davies

9.) 21 Jul 2014
Ched is not released until october and even if we do offer him a contract, he's not played or seriously trained for over 2 years, so how long will it take him to regain match fittness and will he even be the same payer he was before? personally can't see blackpool letting any more players go until they bring some in

10.) 21 Jul 2014
Ched won't be released until at the earliest October so that means at least a couple of months required to get into the swing I think.

It is a fact that Ched has been under an intense fitness regime while in prison. And he has been practicing football whilst he's been in jail

Thanks peeps. Just thought he was coming out on Day release in July to train with squad. Sure I read that somewhere. def need another striker then as Porter not up to it, Diego still very young and raw, baxter not actually a striker and mcnulty injured and unproven. Still were going to win league, Who needs strikers come on you red and white wizaaaaaaaaaaaaaaards

Ched may be on day release, and if he was, do you think the club would be dumb enough to let him train at shirecliffe? Reporters would be swarming the place. Kids attend the place with their families and other business is conducted there aswel. It would attract too much negativity. let's think about it guys!

Ched was 'supposed to be coming to us on day release to sign a 18k per week contract' but our now co chairman Jim Phipps rubbished them rumours when they circulated in the papers. Saying that the source of that story was in no shape or form connected to Sheffield United.

Apparently it was sourced by somebody close to Ched, clearly trying to get clubs interested in his services once he's released.

He definitely won't be the same player straight away, training in prison is nowhere near a good enough standard to come into professional football. Especially under Clough's strict training regimes.
