@OliverS233433 One didn’t come through the academy

@bdtbl_andy The likes of Jebbison, One and Osula have all come through in recent years and seem to have a similar profile

Our academy has done amazing in producing great defenders but when was the last time we produced the ultimate midfielder with height,pace,power and skill,I’ve been keeping a close eye on the U21s over the last 10yrs and we are still looking short in that area #twitterblades

@OliverS233433 I can only think of two pacey forwards that have come through the academy Lewin and Osula who joined us at 15

@bdtbl_andy We seem to create the same profile of tall pacey strikers constantly

@HalTheBlade @itsolelehmann Along with Shopping Malls too,Meadowhall absolutely killed Sheffield,Rotherham,Barnsley etc,Leeds had the right idea,fix the city centre first then build a Mall on the outskirts

@bdtbl_andy @itsolelehmann Correct 👍

i've lived in cyprus for the last 5 years here's my (more nuanced) view of pros and cons: the pros: 1. people are insanely friendly. people genuinely talk to you in cafes and everyone is SUPER sweet to our baby 2. tax status is the best option in europe, both in terms of tax rate and flexibility (you only need to be there 60days/year) 3. weather is elite from april - june and september - december 4. there are few distractions, it's a great place to lock in, work out and work (but more in the cons section..) 5. living costs are decent (though been rising A LOT). 6. growing expat community (mainly germans in paphos, more russians in limassol) 7. slowly growing availability of organic food sources (still in its infancy tohugh) 8. pro business mindset (compared to other european countries, not to US lol) 9. I love the sea in cyprus (great colour and very clear!) , and they also have mountains too hike in troodos mountains 10. easy and fast to get any doctors appointment (and cheap!) 11. very safe, I would always leave my backpack with my car keys out in the open while swimming etc. low crime rate is awesome. 12. everyone speaks english! and very well. now let's get to the cons: 1. it's very hard to maintain friendships with the expats because MANY of them will be traveling outside of cyprus for 70% of the year. I personally want a place where most peopel stay permanently, not only a couple of months. It's ok if your 24 and nomading (which im not). 2. the sun is extreme in juli, august. especially with a small child thats kinda fucked and hard to navigate (UV index 12...) 3. it often still feels like 2018. in a good AND a bad way. there's not much to do compared to other places where I lived before. 4. you need a car (despite what people been telling you on X). sidewalks are often times fucked up, especially if you are pushing a stroller around 5. culture, music, art scene is extremely small. I love these things so it does matter to me. 6. there is no real big city in cyprus. something i'm genuinely missing 7. there's close to 0 significant companies here, no good events, tech ecosystem is very very small (despite what people try to tell you on here). on a world scale, cyprus doesn't matter at all 8. a lot of "entrepreneurs" coming here are coaches or actually employed to someone. I have met 10x more interesting entrepreneurs in big european cities in a days vs in 6 months in cyprus. there are some but it's far from a "tech hub". might be skill issue on my end lol 9. there's a lot of dodgy shit going on with casinos, russian money in cyprus. but I guess that happens in many countries 10. its an island, so everything needs to get imported. many shops don't ship to cyprus. there is no amazon (only if you order from a different country + pay the shipping 11. cyprus is very far away from the pulse of culture, it mostly feels like every trend is happening 5 years later here 12. lots of mold in almost EVERY house. cheap build quality and a lot of cookie cutter ugly investment properties 13. very close to the wars in the middle east 14. there no great architecture in any city my tldr: we're looking at other options in europe right now, but we might stay here and just move to limassol but a kind of house I want is probably 6-9k/month so it's expensive af there (over 2x-3x from paphos) personally, I mainly miss the vibe and drive of a more metropolitan city but that's just me! the main factor I don't like is how so many people only stay a couple of months in cyprus, making it hard to compound and friendships but people like @marclou moving here def make me want to stay more :D

@StuartSykes14 Take a look at this video, 'josh windass goals' share.google/He4gb5j4Or7zED… He does celebrate goals btw and there are many more examples available especially for Rangers

@bdtbl_andy I don't think he celebrates any goal..which is strange even when he scores at home. Nothing to do with SUFC.

Lots of rumours going around that the reason Windass didn’t celebrate his goal is because he’s joining the Blades in the summer,at 32 yrs of age would you sign him ?#twitterblades

@TortosaExpat I’ve actually noticed that when the U21s come up against premier league opposition invariably the premier league team have a abundance and even in yesterdays game v AFCB we looked inferior

@bdtbl_andy This was highlighted during Utd World era. It was hoped group could mine African talent at young age (youngest into Middle East, where less age restrictions) bring to Belgium (quick passport) or France (often ex French colony countries) and develop up to Blades. Never happened.

@HullCityDSA @AmyPar36 @EFL #sufc:

@MatthewWragg8 I think that that’s the reason why we’ve been linked with yet again

@bdtbl_andy He’s even stated him self he doesn’t celebrate goals … he hardly does or it’s little fist pump .. never goes mad and you’d thought he would have at weekend

@MatthewWragg8 Go check his goals on YouTube he does celebrate scoring

@bdtbl_andy He never celebrates a goal

@HalTheBlade @itsolelehmann One of the main reasons why retail is on its arse in city centres is because of Amazon 👍🏻

@itsolelehmann No amazon would be in my pros

@scottkeira13 No we need more physically,height and pace in that area

Would you guys have him back? #twitterblades #SUFC #SheffieldUnited #Bringhimhome

Some on here calling for CW to start blooding some of our U21s for the remaining games of the season,forget it,they are no way near to hitting the first team atm. #twitterblades

So proud of u @AndreBrooks03 ❤️❤️🇯🇲🇯🇲

CW will be rightfully judged in October #twitterblades

These Blades simply have…#twitterblades

Putting Ogbene at right back was not a great move by Wilder,surely we could have brought on Mcginness and moved Tanganga to right back #twitterblades

Pecks on his arse he needs bringing off #twitterblades

We have no game changers on the bench,this must change next season #twitterblades

Our season would be absolutely dead and buried without Pat Bamford this season..
