Sheffield United plan to bolster their attack with the signing of former Wolverhampton Wanderers striker Adam Le Fondre from Cardiff City.

Sheffield United have already signed goalkeeper Simon Moore from the Welsh side, who has already made his debut in the 2-1 defeat at Millwall last weekend, and is likely to be included in today's fixture at home to Oxford United.
Le Fondre, 29 is unwanted by Cardiff City, with reports suggesting he has been made to train with the youth teams.

He hasn't appeared in a City shirt since January 2015 when they lost 3-2 at Norwich City, and could make a long awaited exit and join Sheffield United initially on loan with a view to a permanent deal in January.
The summer transfer window will close at 11:00PM on Wednesday, 31st August 2016.
As well as the Molineux club, he lists Stockport County, Rochdale, Rotherham United, Reading and Bolton Wanderers (loan) as his former clubs.

Really hope this is true. Now we need to get two strikers in. What about Anichebe, who is available?

Hope he is. He is having a massive impact on us being able to move on.

Could we have kept Marshall if the 3 amigos went without being payed off????

He'd be a great signing for them. And great news if he goes especially if we get a fee!

Him and Macheda will probably both leave at 11.59pm on 31st August.

Then we'll be told by the club that they had Messi and Ronaldo lined up but we couldn't get the deals done in time!

I was thinking him as he is a free agent! Perhaps his wages are too high?

We won't get a fee.
Most likely a year long loan to run his contract out with us still paying a big % of his wages

If he is on the bench today what does that say about the situation? Can you imagine how strange it would be if he scored a hatrick. :lol:

No one could sign him at that time, it would be too late, the window closes at 11pm

Couldn't afford Victor Anachibe wages, we won't spend any money I'm afraid :bluebird:
