Sheffield United's January transfer window best and worst signings in pictures

The January transfer window has seen some interesting business at Sheffield United over the last 15 or so years – both good and bad.

As we move into the final day of the window, we looked back and picked 11 January signings from years gone by – and ranked them as Hits and Misses.

One of them has been thrown into the biggest news story for the Blades as the clock ticks closer to that 11pm deadline and there’s a chance that, Sander Berge may well have gone by the time the day is out.

Fulham, Newcastle United and Napoli are all understood to be interested in signing the Norwegian, with United – currently under a tranfer embargo – desperate for the cash.

Even so, Paul Heckingbottom would prefer Berge to stay put as the Blades continue their push for promotion and he told The Star earlier this week: “Sander wants to stay, he’s fine. The club could be discussing a fee for him and he might want to stay. We’re under an embargo and one way to get out of that is to sell. I don’t want that.”

If he does leave that could open up a place for a new contender for our round-up in future, with Lewis O’Brien from Nottingham Forest a target to replace Berge.

There are some good signings on our rundown and some... not so great?
