And only 800 mins played last season, with a once-adoring Sheff Utd fanbase increasingly frustrated by his form. Oh well....suppose we've got to trust the management (as we did with Rowett, Jones, MON etc etc etc) Certainly has an air of rinse and repeat about it.

If Rotherham beat us to him then this place is about to explode in line with Pitroipa Pizzagate. Either way I just feel really sorry for those vehemently defending this club. They let you (and everyone) down time and again. They're not, that tweet was a guess after somebody who seems to know a bit had tweeted tht a signing had been finalised. Turns out it was Dillon Phillips.

If he can regain his form of 3-4 years ago, it would be a shrewd signing, it's a big if though and a pretty big gamble.

At least Jared Dublin is an inside man at Sheff Utd and wll know all about him injury-wise etc.
He must think he can come good again

If we need 12 in, it’ll likely be a squad filler for every good player. Or even 4 exciting prospects and 8 squad fillers. We’re gonna have to expect some damp squibs in and amongst them.

Rotherham fans seem to think they have signed him... Maybe it's a shared or third party ownership deal. Or he signs for one club and then immediately goes out on loan to build up his fitness!

It's Nathan Jones all over again. Serious Stephen Ward PTSD with this one. Ward was hung out to dry playing as a dynamic left back in a team with no width. If Stevens comes, he will hopefully be playing in a supportive role behind an attacking wide man. I also think we’ll probably look at a PL loan for left back as well towards the end of the window.

If he can regain his form of 3-4 years ago, it would be a shrewd signing, it's a big if though and a pretty big gamble. He had good form 3-4 years ago because he was younger. Furthermore, he was primarily a wing-back for Sheffield United. So 4 years on at 33 years of age, he'll have lost the pace that made him what he was. And we already have the best LWB in the division. On this basis, I would have Tymon starting at LB any day of the week over this crock. And I was a big fan of Stevens during the Mad Nath wing-back hunting days. What an utterly duff, uninspiring signing this is.

I’m a STH living in Sheffield. Stevens was class under Wilder but has tailed off drastically. Mixed with the injuries last season, why on earth are we bothering?
Fox is 3 years younger and was consistent last season. Should have kept fox as back up and signed a younger attacking full back on loan.
Daft.

Is Stevens any better than Fox? I don’t believe so. I was hoping we’d have kept Fox. My argument at the time was we won’t replace with any better and Fox is at least versatile and means that one less position needs to be considered.

Length of contract will be interesting... Yes it will as people suggest Fox might have left due to the length of contract offered, IF we actually did attempt to keep him. With the numbers we have now he would have been worth keeping on.

If that's a sign of the type of players we are signing, strap in it's going to be a long , bumpy season.I fear another relegation battle. ☹️

Just been on their forum and they love him. Don't come that bollox. Surely he's a universally hated, octogenarian cripple isn't he?
