Image for Sheffield United: These fans praise Lundstram’s reaction to Berge signing

John Lundstram may have been forgiven for feeling slightly nervous after Chris Wilder signed Sander Berge in the January transfer window. With both players playing in the same position, the arrival of the Blades’ most expensive player surely threatened Lundstram’s spot.

But with the player being substituted into the game after Wilder brought Berge off in the 61st minute, the Liverpudlian wasted no time in proving to the manager that he still deserved a spot in the team. In the 84th minute, Lundstram scored the game’s winning goal. However, these fans reckon that his overall performance was worthy of applause. They think that Berge’s signing has inspired a spark of rejuvenation from Lundstram, while others believe that it is his shirt to lose.

Who deserves to start?

What do we think?

If Lundstram, who is valued at £5.4 million (as per Transfermarkt), reacts to Berge’s signing by putting in more consistent shifts each week, then it could be the best-case scenario for Wilder. The manager will almost certainly enjoy having to pick between an in-form 25-year-old and a young starlet. Who knows, perhaps Wilder will find a way of fitting them both into the team?
