Whiteman I bet. Nothing new there

Why put a negative spin on a positive post-jerk!

Whats negative about it? He's probably right
-
Well it's positive news and my hunch is that it is likely to be someone we already know. My reasoning is that they're less likely to put someone in that position who might find it daunting not having met any of our mob before.
Conversely, someone who is already popular and would be comfortable with it would be a returning player.
Dare I suggest it might be Jordan Houghton, given DF hinted he might be re-signed this window as his recovery has been swift?
My theory could be a load of tosh but whoever it is, I hope he's made very welcome.

He's coming to the Rovers why should he expect anything but warm
Welcome , strange time though ?

I know who it is but I can't say a dicky bird
-
I'm sure that you could with elocution lessons.😉
-
I know who it is but I can't say a dicky bird
Is it the former Test match umpire and Barnsley fan?

'Your here again Bird'..

Almost certain it will probably be ben whiteman on loan.
-
Dennis Peacock or Efan Ukoku ?
-
Richard 'Dickie' Chaplow....let's be right, whoever it is will be an improvement!
-
Denis Peacock?
-
Lewis Guy?
Well he was a Diver!
-
The legend that is Carl Swan
:woot:
-
Had an email from rovers with a link to watch the announcement of our new signing... this all seems a bit over the top for a young lad on loan from sheff u... could it be someone different ??
-
I am a silver plus ST holder but haven't had an email yet. Has anyone else?
-

I've got one

Not giving a 'Chuff' until it's announced :)
-

I've got one
Ok thanks Filo. I will get in touch with the club.
-
No I've had nothing either.
-

Yep.
-
I have now.
-
I should've received one but the club are aware I'm not receiving them. They're working on an issue with a 3rd party provider. In the meantime, they are sending e-mails out manually to those of us affected. The media team seem to have their handsful firefighting these issues at the moment.
-
Ben Whiteman...apparently the best kept secret in football
-
Seems a lot of fuss for a loan signing
-
Who thinks these ideas up?
I think that this will be an anti climax for a lot of fans.
We knew that he was coming and most were expecting an extra signing.
I am sure that he will do well for us though.🙂
-
Yes, a good signing I'm sure but a little underwhelming since we've known for a long time!
-
Let's hope there is a fanfare for the other three signings we need CB, MF and striker plus securing JM for a longer.
-
I am certainly disappointed .
The Whiteman loan is very good - but , like many I suspect ,
I was hoping this would be an additional signing.
A lot needs doing before the start of the season I think.

Yes DBR, think they have the same problem with my email address. They thought they had sorted it but clearly they haven't. Hopefully will be sorted before the next signing!
-
Maybe a titbit to keep fans happy while others in the background are taking longer than expected.
I just feel that building it up like this has done Ben no favours.
-
Surprise surprise, didn't see that signing coming

Club taking the piss again. Build the fans hopes up of a signing encourage fans to come and meet him at 5pm. Then announce a loan signing that if you listen to football heaven blades manager announced it 2 weeks ago.
-
I share the puzzlement about the fuss made of a loan signing. Nevertheless, now it's confirmed what we already know, he looks a strapping lad and is a Welcome addition.
I do wonder if they used this to test the new medium of transmitting live via the Facebook page.
The poor lad won't have to be on duty meeting fans for long I suspect.
-
Not on DROS yet though!!!
-
Not taking the piss , just trying to sell more season tickets. Can't blame the club for trying to create an excitement about all new signings. Yes we have known about this signing but until 15 minutes ago it wasn't official.
For me the club can do all this hype. It may upset some but it's a case of damned if they do and damned if they don't. Just my opinion of course!
-
Not on DROS yet though!!!
It is now

Very OTT of the club for a signing both managers had already confirmed.
-
Misery and negativity in spades all over this place yet again.
-
Sheffield United forum are full praise for him and think he's a player.
-
:This forum is an effective counter measure to the enthusiastic way DF presents the club to his prospective recruits .

I hope so. It would be embarrassing of he turns out to only be a supporter!

I've had a spate of e mails from Rovers over last few days but not one about signing
