Some transfers happen. Others don’t. Some spend years living on forums, back pages and in the collective imagination of fans.
For Memory Lane Episode 17, Andrew Hague, Sam Parry and Tyrone James pick an XI of Sheffield United’s greatest transfer rumours: the players who were definitely signing, nearly signing, touted by ITKers, or simply discussed for so long that they started to feel like they actually did play for us.
There’s Warnock’s love of strikers, followed by more Warnock’s love of strikers, goalkeepers who never were, and defenders responsible for page upon page upon page on S24SU.
Eleven players. Absolutely no guarantees any of them were ever coming.
Let us know if we missed anyone.
