Spoke to a few people tonight and this is a done deal (as we were all expecting), announcement tomorrow I’m told.

Double announcement or just Woodburn?

Nothing to suggest a double announcement pal.

Unbeknown to me at the time (I found out later) I was stood next to wilders best m8 in the club house he was talking to his m8 and was saying about another coming in wouldn't say who tho,I'm guessing it's the kid from Man City although at the time I thought it was someone else so asked and he said no it wasn't who I thought. I wasn't aware of the kid from city at the time as I'd not had chance to check up on sites what with rushing to get there

#sufc are also trying to finalise a deal for #MCFC CB/CM Kean Bryan. He's 21, with league experience at #OAFC and #Buryfc. Recently rejected the chance to go to #Rangers.

That seems to be our valuation, but Brighton are a long way short of that currently. The Woodburn signing has got me buzzing. I watched his debut for Wales vs. Austria where he scored a proper goal from 25 yards while David Brooks was sitting on the bench. If we get this Kean Bryan kid, Freeman and another striker, then we are well set for a good season. No question, we'll be much stronger than we were in May.

That’s a very large “IF” FKB.
I know we are trying on all those three fronts, but trying is not necessarily succeeding.
And remember - there is always the possibility of a “kick in the b****”, with one or more outgoings!

Apologies for those gloomy thoughts, but over 70 years following the Blades - I find it very difficult to countenance too much good news coupled with little, or no bad news. It just isn’t natural. UTB!

itk'er Dronnie Blade latest on S2:

We have increased the Waghorn bid but also now got 2 bids in for 2 other strikers.

Apparently we are pushing the boat out.
