Chris Wilder and his recruitment team will this month look to give Sheffield United fresh impetus for the second half of the Premier League season – and looking at his past January signings for the Blades since taking charge, there have been more hits than misses. Would you agree?
5. Lee Evans
The Welshman joined United in 2018 as they looked to get over the loss of Paul Coutts. Scored a stunner at home to Middlesbrough but never fully convinced, and was moved on after six months Photo: Lynne Cameron
6. Ricky Holmes
Another who arrived at United after a long pursuit, but didn't live up to expectation. Holmes has made just one start for the Blades and doesn't look likely to add to that tally anytime soon Photo: Simon Bellis
7. Oliver Norwood
Technically a January signing on a permanent basis, although he had arrived on loan at United earlier in the season. One of Wilder's best Blades signing, and now captain of United in the Premier League Photo: LINDSEY PARNABY
8. Gary Madine
A controversial signing at the time turned out to be a masterstroke as Madine, similar to Hanson before him, gave another string to United's bow and helped them get over the promotion line. Photo: Sportimage
