I was unable to gather enough views from St Pats fans to make a decent sized post so have combined their comments with those from fans of the Irish national team.
“Happy to see Sam Curtis going to play for Sheffield Utd in the premier league. Curtis really will light up the Premier league this season with his talent. Was the best player in the League Of Ireland last season and Sam Curtis will do the same in the Premier League. All the Best. “
“WTF?? Wow amazing signing by Sheffield… incredible work to fend off the big 6 teams “
“That’s huge for not only Sam Curtis and LOI, but for Sheffield United too Assume he will go straight into that team too “
“He’s good enough to play for them regularly. Top prospect. “
“Might not get much gametime straight away, but he will be a 1st team player for them next season”
“Don’t think it’s unrealistic that with the right support he’d overtake Bogle & Baldock in the next year or 2. Think people just need to remember even lads like Philips, O’Mahony & Umeh with LOI & Ireland underage experience haven’t walked into prem 11s “
“Sheffield United are getting some player “
“Was the team i was hoping he would go to out of all the options. Must have been given assurances about his game time and wouldnt be surprised he goes straight into team soon.”
“Unbelievable signing. Unbelievable talent. He’ll be getting another move from Sheffield soon”
“You’d be hoping they’d have guaranteed him some Premier League minutes, only reason I’ve seen him join them over Hull. Best of the luck to the lad anyway, what a player!”
“Should’ve went to Hull”
“Not sure about this move. Sheffield Utd will most likely be relegated and could possibly have a completely new coaching ticket next season. “
“Sam deserves a move to the UK because he’s been unbelievable for us, the lad is seriosuly talented.
However, I can’t see him getting into the first team of a club that are fighting relegation at the moment. Hopefully not another Darragh Burns situation”
“Terrible move. Would’ve been better going straight to the Championship or just staying at Pats until the summer “
“Terrible move for him imo”
“Think this is a bad move for him unless he’s guaranteed to be involved in 1st team.”
