Sheffield United have signed the former Wolverhampton Wanderers player from Fulham.

Wolverhampton Wanderers fans have given their verdicts on new Sheffield United signing Richard Stearman.

Stearman, a boyhood Wolves supporter, spent last season back on loan at his former club from Fulham, where he was deemed surplus to requirements by manager Slavisa Jokanovic.

But despite making 21 starts for the Molineux side, they neglected to turn his deal permanent, and have since added Roderick Miranda and Ryan Bennett instead.

Ironically, Bennett is said to have snubbed Sheffield United in favour of a move to Wolves, though Blades boss Chris Wilder insisted via the BBC that Stearman was his top summer target.

Stearman’s arrival at Bramall Lane, which has set United back a ‘substantial’ undisclosed fee, appears to have delighted the club’s fanbase.

But what are Wolves fans saying about the 29-year-old, who has made more than 250 appearances in old gold?

Stearman becomes Sheffield United’s fifth summer signing, after Ched Evans, Enda Stevens, Nathan Thomas and George Baldock.
