Sheffield United manager Kevin Blackwell says that he will be casting an eye over some unnamed West Ham players following the resolution of the Carlos Tevez affair.
Blackwell, whose Sheffield side are currently fourth in the Championship with eight games of the season to play made the comment in an interview with Sky Sports this morning when questioned about possible loans deals ahead of the Football League's approaching loan deadline."The important thing is that the relationship between Sheffield United and West Ham United wasn't soured," he said. "I think it's been finished very well, we're delighted, we've got a lot of respect for West Ham and we can move forward together and hopefully do some business later on.
"I'm sure Gianfranco won't want me to say I want players but it means I can go to West Ham now obviously and look to take a loan player. It's not been something I felt I could do until this situation was sorted, so at least there's another club I can borrow someone off.
"I'm just glad that the Tevez affair is finished. I don't think it's been very good for football and I know it's a situation that's hung over both West Ham and Sheffield United - and we're glad it's put to bed.
"I'm sure the chairman will give me a ring at some point and discuss how much we've got to spend next season."
