Some Sheffield United fans are hoping that the Blades steer clear of one rumoured transfer target.

United are among the Premier League and Championship clubs being credited with an interest in the Charlton Athletic striker, Lyle Taylor (Teamtalk).

 

Taylor, of course, spent a season at Bramall Lane earlier in his career, during which he scored just twice in 25 games before being loaned to Partick Thistle.

But he has since rejuvenated his career, first at AFC Wimbledon and now Charlton, for whom he has found the net five times in six starts this season.

His contract expires at the end of this season, however, making the 29-year-old a potential bargain for someone in the New Year.

This is what the Sheffield United supporters are saying about the speculation...
