First signing of the Summer. So he is 24 and to me looks like he has a little potential as well. Not a devastating signing but not one that gives me an awful lot of confidence in Danny Wilson. The thing here is that the guy is still young so has time to get up to the standard that I believe United should be looking for. He does though seem to be a solid defender and that's exactly what the club needs right now.
SO after a first glance this signing my not be that bad. Another positive the club can take out of this is that Wilson knows him very well and has worked with him at Swindon and he won player of the year. So these are both good signs and he may be what United were looking for. Now lets face it he cant be worse than Nosworthy (former United loanee from Sunderland) so that is another massive boost.
Hopefully we will be bringing in a quick pacey winger ( preferably 2) but we will have to wait and see what happens over the next couple of weeks.
So back to the idea of 'the fall' United looked a promising team a few years back with ambitions of getting to the Premier League, this dream did happen but it was not an extended one. The club came back down under Robson who miserably failed ( I will look in more depth at this at a later point) so then the spiral continued to where United find themselves today; going into the third division in the first time in over 20 years. In hindsight things could have been done differently but that was not to be and we shall just have to see what happens. I am optimistic about next season (but with transfers pending). As Norwich and Leicester got out at the first attempt I see Sheff Untd in the same bracket and being able to do the same.
Its going to be a long ride; full of twists and turns but hopefully one that will have a happy endinging!
