Lots of Blades fans have been reacting to a cryptic message that Chris Wilder has left the fans ahead of the weekend.
Speaking in his pre-match press conference ahead of the game with Norwich City, Wilder revealed that there was set to be some new contract news coming ‘in the next 48 hours’, and seeing as we haven’t heard anything on that front yet, we should presume that the news should be coming through any moment now.
The last senior figure to sign a contract at Bramall Lane was John Fleck last month, and now the guessing game has begun to find out precisely who is going to get the new deal, with Blades fans taking to social media to try and work out who it’s going to be.
Do we need to lock down our promising youngsters early?
Yes
No
I guess we’ll just have to wait and see who the lucky man, or indeed men are going to be.

I wonder if this is going to be the last set of contracts to be signed, or if there are going to be more to come in the next few months.
