'Great window - fingers crossed we get over line'

Tom Cannon joined Sheffield United for a reported £10m from Leicester City

On Tuesday we asked what you made of Sheffield United's business in the transfer window.

Ben Brereton-Diaz returned on loan from Southampton while Leicester striker Tom Cannon was also brought in for a reported £10m.

Ipswich defender Harry Clarke, Leicester midfielder Hamza Choudhury and former Arsenal defender Rob Holding signed on loan while Nigerian winger Christian Nwachukwu and Peruvian striker Jefferson Caceres were brought in for undisclosed fees under the club's new 'data driven' approach to transfers.

Here are some of your responses:

Steve: Overall a few decent signings, but I doubt many of them would hold their own in the Premier League if United managed promotion - massive investment by the new owners would be needed.

N Rodrigues: It's disappointing that we didn't get the centre-halves we were looking for, and so desperately needed. It feels like we were left with no real options before the window closed. I'm very interested to see how AI and the use of analytics to determine the quality of a player, now and in the future, works out for The Blades.

Trev: Let's hope the new faces gel as soon as possible - the Hull defeat really exposed how thin we'd become in depth of squad choices. Let's not get too carried away either - remember you can only field 11 so Wilder needs impact players he can use to change games when needed.

Tom: In general this is the second great window in succession. Chris Wilder has completely re-structured and re-invented the team within the space of six months, not the usual "three or four windows" nonsense that managers tend to spout to suit their own agendas. There is only one issue that I can see and that is I believe Chris wanted to get TWO centre-backs in because Holding is clearly a player with huge pedigree but zero match fitness. Ahmedhodzic and Robinson have done well enough, but Souttar's loss has really hurt us and until/unless Holding gets quickly up to match fitness we're no better off in that key department.

Steve: My only concern is the time it takes for a raft of new players to be integrated into a new system and whether that disrupts the group dynamics. However, I really like the look of Choudhury and Clarke already. BBD is a known quantity to us. Tom Cannon will hopefully start firing soon. What it shows is real ambition and backing of the manager - whose judgement of players brought in during pre-season was excellent. Fingers crossed it gives us the momentum to get over the line of automatic promotion.

John: Best transfer window I've ever known, and I've been going since 1960.

Dave: The number of players "on loan" worries me somewhat!

Wolfgang: Overall pleased. I think especially Cannon, Choudhury, BBD, and Clarke make us a completely different prospect in terms of depth. However, I am not convinced by the signing of Holding. Yes, we desperately needed a replacement for Souttar, but at 29, with fewer than 200 senior games, it doesn't scream "the ready-made answer to our recent defensive problems". I feel like he's the weak link of our January transfers, but I'm happy to be proved wrong.

Neil: I think with the signings in this window it takes pressure off the players in a very small squad, giving them chance to rest so to spread the workload out. It also gives us a bit more quality to hopefully carry us over the line for a top-two spot.

Tim: Excellent window for the Blades - not least signing Wilder for another three years. The new owners seem fully supportive and, as a club, we're in very good nick.
