It is understood that it would cost the Blades in the region of £400,000 for his services with transfer funds made up from the sales of current united players.

If we get anything remotely close to £400K for McGovern then that's a cracking bit of business, just can't see it though.

We wont know till Di Canio brings in his players, but my opinion is you'll struggle to find someone better than JP in league two. I know a lot of the fans dont rate him, but hey most of the fans are idiots!

Surely its more likely to be in the region of £40,000?

I agree he's quality when on song. Like most players last season he was far from on song. Same could be said about his first season with us.

Which JPM would we get next season?

400k is a great amount of money for JPM for sure, but we have to be able to attract players to us with it, otherwise its of no use at all.

So we haven't taken up the extensions on Douglas or Cuthbert then, cant see either agreeing to even less wages to paly in league two, thats those two gone!

Douglas is a massive mistake, we will struggle to replace him for sure, first player we've had like that for 15 years!!

We're down to next to nothing, think PDC is going to need more than the 5 players suggested last week!

As far as I know, Cuthbert and Douglas' contracts are still to be looked at, so they could both stay yet, let's hope so.

Well that article has made me the most positive about next season I have been so far. I am glad Bodin is getting an input as i'm sure his role is very important and will only benefit the club. Wilson wasn't interested in progressing players from the youth set up. Many didn't get a chance at all and couldn't prove themselves as they didn't get a run out. Our youth set up has really come on in the last couple of years and the boys in the c of e hold their own against prem academy sides. Hopefullly some will come through and make it at their local club. There are a couple of players I rate highly that will be first year scholars next season.

With regard to Douglas and Cuthbert,I think they might get offered something, but not in the terms of the original contracts which I suspect would have cost the club too much for league 2.

£ 400k has to be wrong, if not we have to take the offer. Would we consider buying a player of his standard for £ 400k I think not...?

Those Elite chappies seem to think there's a good chance Dougie and Cuthbert will stay.

I really, really fucking wish they would stop soapy tit wank'ing.
