“Eustace will be absolutely fuming. He wanted championship ready players, he wanted BBD back all summer for us to lose out to a team more skint that us”
“I get why BBD hasn’t chosen us. I don’t think I’d come back to a club when I’m probably lacking in match fitness and the fans of the club booed me for exactly that for what felt like half a season.”
“I’d have bene amazed if chose to come back to us given the way our fans treated him for the main part of last season”
“The same fans moaning that BBD isn’t signing for us are the same bunch that cheered when he got subbed off.”
“He didn’t receive the best support when he first joined. He wasn’t match fit and JE knew he needed time to get up to speed.”
“BBD got absolute pelters when he first started and now the same folk are fuming that he’s going elsewhere.
Even made a chant how he “was sh*te now alright”
Lesson support whoever puts on a shirt through good and bad.”
“he was getting pelters because he was playing like ass.
Fans loved him second half of the season when he picked it up.
Eustace backed him whereas I doubt Wilder will do the same. Very odd decision.”
.”Was anyone booing him after Christmas? I thought he’d pretty much won fans over with his form after that, and to me seemed to be enjoying himself up to the end of the season. I’d be surprised if any decision had been made based on those first few months. I’m not entirely sure why he’d pick Sheff Utd over either of us. Was his time there that great? (genuine question). Presumably Stoke could have offered the most £££ and we’d arguably have offered playing time. Not entirely sure what Sheff Utd offers that the other two don’t. Plus they look like they might be this season’s basket case team. Just weird to me all round if that’s where he’s decided to go.”
“Swear he said himself he loved it, nice that he could see the irony and have a laugh
Very surprised he’s chosen Sheffield United over Stoke though”
“he didn’t have the best of starts and I’m sure he will have known his red history would play some part in his reception.
He worked tirelessly and the quality eventually came thru, his chant although banterous will have been seen as a positive, “
“Was booed the first few months but since Xmas was fantastic with very good numbers from the right wing. Finally looks fit, integrated and full of confidence. 99% would want to sign permanently.”
“he had a terrible start to the season. But really without him we wouldn’t have gotten far. Reason why he was less noticed is because he only played well on away games and blanked at home. He fit our system really well”
“Second half of the season he was quality playing off the right mostly if he carries that form he’ll do very well this season”
“could be wrong but for me there is wasn’t a better solid attacking player in that team in the second half of last season than BBD. Should’ve been one of the first ones through the door in June/July Sad to miss out on him tbh but I guess we move on.”
“Knowing our luck, Brereton will go on to have the season of his life, and we’ll be left with the what ifs.”
“surely we should be more of an attraction than Sheff Utd. Bearing in mind he was a guaranteed starter for us, whereas last time he was at Sheff Utd under Wilder he was only a squad option.”
“there must be a big bonus somewhere or BBD just really likes Wilder and some other ex team mates, as due to their current financial questions, I don’t see them as a good long term prospect”
“let’s just hope we are getting a better option than BBD. Losing out to Sheff United is a worry”
“with the issues United have; this is a strange decision”
“not really. Best squad of the three, best manager of the three and as its a loan move, external issues dont really impact him?”
“BBD on form and confident is a dangerous player at this level. BBD out of form and low on confidence is a waste of a shirt at this level.”
“Don’t get the big uproar with BBD. The big positive is we knew what we was getting and he could slot straight in, but was he ever going to give us 15+ G/A from out wide? I don’t think so.”
“BBD would have slotted in fine, he would have made it easy. But let’s not overstate how good he actually was. He’s a floor raiser, not a ceiling raiser. A wide player with more pace and dribbling ability would make a lot more sense for this team than he does.”
“Not a player to get you out the championship”
“The way I see it, we weren’t quite good enough last season.
So, to merely get back last year’s gang is the definition of madness.”
