Slew still waiting. This is a joke.

I hope we'll have no lewd jokes on this Board.

Sorry; coat, taxi!!

[Alex Rover]

Officially signed on a 4 year deal. Link.

Interesting that mark Hughes put a bid in for him when he was at fulham. Could he be a sparky signing ?????

They're putting him in the reserves. If I were them, I would look to loan him in january to someone like Macclesfield who have just sold Sinclair. Hithcock is on loan at plymouth at the moment. Think it might be good to get him in the reserves for a few months then see if a side like Macc or Crewe would take him till the end of the season.

"Get me that young lad, the one who's played a handful of games in League One, and I'll sign right away".

Hmm. No.

Ok then

No no, more than that, he's going in the 'Elite development group'

[Clitherover]

Some upset blades fans in Sky Sports comments, they clearly must have rated him.

[blue and whites]

I know one of the players at Sheffield and he rates him as a very promising youngster! He says that Slew has extreme natural physique sounds promising!

[BuckyRover]

Exactly the type of player we need to invest in.

Sorry to urinate on some blades fireworks at this juncture, but I am reliably informed by championship team academy coach, along with a lifelong forty something blades STH, they both tell me that this guy is highly rated, he's an England U19 International and has been promoted (Early) to the Blades 1st team and has already scored a couple for them.

I'm told, quick, skillful, confident, does score but raw, but defo one for the near future, he played well against some very good teams in the Acedemy cup competition last year,

p.s. I don't mind us buying for the future at any stage, 1055hrs is better than 1105hrs or never, and the person who has already stated that we short on strikers in the Academy set up is spot on.

Welcome to Rovers Jordan.

[Hekla]

Welcome Jordan, to our Elite Development Group. Hope he makes it here.

[True Blue & White]

Why are we sending to him to work for an IT company?

And who's going to be the first to go to a reserve game or training session and ask (in Joey Tribbiani style) "So how's Sleeeeeew doin?"

Errrrm. I'm not so sure. Read the comments in this Forum. Most Blades fans don't seem to rate him. He's probably too young to judge, but these comments don't make for fun reading. http://www.s24su.com/forum/showthread.php?24442-Will-Jordan-Slew....

[Nate]

My father-in-law to be is a massive Blades fan and played for them. He said a good pick up if he can keep the size of his head to a minimum.

They are probably just bitter mate. Personally I think that he looks promising.

[True Blue & White]

People keep calling him an England U19 international but he's only made two appearances and hasn't been called up for recent squads.

To be honest, if the U19's are as starstruck as the national team are with Jones, expect Slew to be straight into the team next call up. He'll be in the Under 21's next tournament if he's still with us and we are in the Prem. Same reason that lad who was on loan at the Dingles was in at the last one, even though they weren't even picking him.

[Andy]

Irrespective of how good he actually is, he must be better than Blackman.

[roverwhelmed]

My mate is a blade, and he's really gutted Slew has moved on and rates him very highly.

[braddock]

This suggests they rate him.

[USABlue]

Seems like more of the same ol same ol. There's those who want him to be crap for whatever anti Kean/Venky reason and there's some with a postive outlook. Let's give the lad a break, we don't have to find a new Andrews to hate just yet.

Spot on, and of course if you add in that Hughes rated him, and he CAN pick a player...

[Wing Wizard Windy Miller]

We have Myles Anderson for that

[Hekla]

I just realised how big this guy is for his age, 6ft3! Definitely an athletic guy and I have a good feeling about him.
