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? All farewell threads for a really popular player are very warm, to be fair though, aren't they? It seems fairly widely accepted that he's been poor for a while Charlton fans must have been a bit put-out when they saw the version of Fuller they had rock up there after reading the eulogies on here and elsewhere

Wow, just wow. What a post this is! "I have mixed feelings about Enda. He used to be one of my favourite players and over the first two and a half seasons he was with us he was amazing, arguably the best left back we've ever had. Since lockdown he's been pretty much awful where I ended up hating seeing him in the shirt, as I knew he'd be poor. Over the course of his entire time at United I now look back not knowing what to think of him. Do you look back at the good times and ignore the bad, or do you look at the bad and question where did it all go wrong and why couldn't he play like that anymore. I'm left feeling neither sad or happy that he's gone. Enda leaving only leaves me more confused as to why Fleck is being offered another contract when he's mirrored Stevens over the same period. Thanks for the good memories and for THAT goal, but the right call in releasing him."

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. Your a sith living in Sheffield? Does Skywalker know

The usual few will do the same whoever signs mate and what’s even funnier is most of them have never heard of him or seen him play🙄

But he is simply our FIRST signing of what will hopefully be many. He is a squad filler, an old experienced head and potentially a good egg in the dressing room. I'm keeping my Tenna pads dry for the time being if that's ok?

I’ll judge him when I’ve seen him play for us

Seeing a respectable journalist claim that a 33 year old left back who has tailed off in recent years claim that is not going to bring cheers from people exactly is it?

What’s the point in hiring a head of recruitment when it’s the free cast offs from other clubs again?
Stevens hasn’t played a 90 since January and only 800 minutes last season. Worrying that they’re repeating previous mistakes.

I'm just slightly concerned about his injury record over the last couple of seasons especially the injury that has kept him out for the last 4 months of this season.

Surely Fox was never going to stay? He’s 29 and needs to go somewhere where he’s guaranteed first team football while that’s still viable.
Tymon first choice, and Stevens back up? Would seem a pretty decent left back duo for any championship team in my opinion.
Just another 10 positions to go 😂

I'd be amazed if Alex Neil had briefed Nixon on this. Presumably only he and his close confidantes are privy to his thinking and it is an evolving plan dependant on who we sign in the future. And do you think that if Andy Robertson decided he really did want to play for us after all we'd say to him 'Sorry son but we promised Enda he was first choice'?

Hard to get excited about this one, at least he'll be good to have around the place if nothing else.

It’s just the wrong kind of player. Just been promoted, where’s his motivation? Coming to the end of his career. 33 years old. Equivalent of 10 games last season. I wasn’t happy with the Gayle signing last summer and he turned out as crap as I thought. This will be the same. Squad filler with experience on a short term contract while we're trying to put together half a squad in one summer, how is it the wrong kind of player?

You wouldn’t get half as many people moaning if they knew that Stevens was coming as a back up to someone.

(You're not the only one that could do with chilling out a bit btw)

He's been told we're signing someone, do you think AN gave him a call and told him he's going to be his first choice starter every week, give over. No we wouldn't, they'd be moaning their bag off anyway, they've been doing it all summer.

He’s looked like a really solid performer whenever I’ve seen him play and has a decent pedigree. Although at his age it has to be a max of a two year contract.
