While Chris Wilder should rightly be rented for the wide range of stars with which he worked Sheffield United Like Billy Sharp, John Egan and Jack O’Connell, the boss of the very Celebrated Blades was also a victim of signing real failed failed while occupying the hot seat of Bramall Lane.
Indeed, notable pickups such as Rhian Brewster did not exactly plan under his wing, with the only time 23.5 million pounds sterling Only the enclosure Seven 107 -game strikes In southern Yorkshire.
At least, Brewster has shown thrusts of its quality, however, with two of these coming goals this season.
But, with this other disastrous signature, he never managed to raise his head high concerning his disappointing exhibitions.
Oliver Burke: Wilder’s worst signature in Sheffield United?
By coincidence, the cursed purchase of Oliver Burke also occurred at the same time as Brewster arrived through the door of Liverpool, the blades that tasted relegation to Championship at the back of their poor recruitment.
Burke joined Wilder’s ranks For 5.8 million pounds sterling in September 2020with the scotsman once Purchase of 15 million pounds sterling By the former West Bromwich Albion club, when the baggies picked up Burke fresh out of its promising exploits at the Boyhood Club Nottingham Forest.
But, that 15 million pounds sterling at the end of the West Midlands team would end up being a madness in cash, Burke only succeeding in picking up a goal From 24 appearances to the Hawthorns, a disturbing trend that would continue in its next club.
To stack more on misery, the blunt time from the age of 27 to Bramall Lane would end in a relegation appearing on his CV in career, with the shy attacker who just picks up Two strikes and help 36 forgettable clashes.
In the end, Burke would leave his badly adjusted environment on a free transfer, the movement of 5.8 million pounds sterling by simply descending like a big failure.
Promotion hunters will only keep everything crossing that history is not repeated at the moment.
The next Wilder Burke in Sheffield United
Wilder would have been aware in January that cash splashes could recklessly work against his side, with Seven new additions Enter the building to help UNITED promotion efforts.
While Tom Cannon was fresh 11 goals’ loan fist With Stoke City, counsel 10 million pounds sterling So that the hot ticket striker to join his camp constantly increasing, could have raised eyebrows, since four of these strikes came in a single match.
But, with his record of blistering at the level of youth, also showing him 51 goals for former employers Everton, the risk of spending 10 million pounds sterling for the Irishman was considered a sentence to be prosecuted.
This is where the similarities with the unfortunate Burke tale begin to appear, considering that the Bremen striker now Werder was another face that had so much threw ‘Scottish Gareth Bale’ even come to him.

Looking at the table above, it was far from being a gentle start of life in the southern Yorkshire for Cannon, with the murderous play-center typical of its potters now nowhere.
The 22 -year -old has unfortunately attracted regular whites instead, with Wilder using it sparingly through the last three games in the promotion team, opting rather to use Tyrese Campbell in free transfer as his only sniper.
Labeled as “outstanding” In the past by the former boss of the city of Hull, Liam Rosenior, Cannon is far from being struck off in his new environment.
But, if he continues to be wasted at the top for the blades after costing such a large amount of money to bring, he could take place on the same rocky road as Burke.
