Blades chasing Jimmy Juan
From an unofficial Blades site..
Sheffield United are being linked to former Ipswich Town Midfielder Jimmy Juan who applies his trade at French First Division side Monaco.
Juan, 22 played 25 times (+ 11 as sub) and scored five goals for Ipswich Town during a loan spell in the 2005-06 Championship season, scoring against the Blades at Portman Road with that spectacular free-kick before Danny Webber drew level.
It is believed that a sum of £500,000 will be offered for the French born midfielder and this would be enough to take Juan to Bramall Lane.

Hmmm maybe they like Royle dont think he's ready at this level yet!!??? WTF!!?? This is a bit gutting - I can understand the "we don't have the money one" and I dont think he's worth 500,000....to us now anyway, but it does seem odd that we don't think he's good enough and Sheff Utd might (for the Prem) they're hardly in the position to go making longterm buys - short term survival seems more apt - and no doubt caring clubs like Town, Derby and Leicester have shown them what not to do with our financial meltdowns, so they wont be making rash purchases - those the make have to count - like Juan?????

Juan was indeed a fair player,even by our standards,It was not a case of Town not wanting him,It was a case of where on earth was town going to find the transfer fee? Monoco and town both placed different valuations on Juan.Sheff Utd have prem cash to spend and gobby warnock will purchase what he can with it.We need to install a manager quickly or risk loosing potential players who may wish to play for us,then again what player will want to come to a club until their manager has been decided? In my opinion,Juan can cut it in the prem,though Sheff Utd may only be a stepping stone for Juan as a maens of getting noticed for bigger and better things.I wish him well....

Mayby Warcock thinks he can get more out of Juan than Royal did. I mean who would have thought Royal would have done with Kuqi what he did? Perhaps Warnock (ooops is that the typo in his name first time round?) see something in Juan that he believes he can work with.
Of course he could be worng and Juan is just a Championship player who will help Sheff U come straight back down.
Guess we will wil wait and see.

Wasnt Gaardsoe not good enough for us when he was sold to a premierteam. Hes doing well in the prem. Its just another thing managers say instead of saying " we have no money." Putting a positive spin on things so people renew season tickets.
