Sheffield United expect to welcome a few new faces through the door this month as Chris Wilder looks to add depth for his side’s Championship promotion push. But the transfer market is risky business and Bramall Lane regulars know all too well how easily mistakes can be made.
The Blades have signed some absolute gems but there are also plenty of forgettable names - and some who are memorable for all the wrong reasons. But who are the worst players to come through the door? Well, the Star enlisted the help of Artificial Intelligence to see.
Grok, an AI Tool provided by X, was simply asked who Sheffield United’s 10 worst ever signings are. Scroll below to see who it picked and the explanation it gave for each player.

2. Rob Kozluk

3. Marcel Seip
