Blades boss eyeing deadline swoop

Blackwell's priority is to bring in a goalkeeper after number two Ian Bennett was ruled out for up to a month with a damaged ligament in his thumb. "We're looking to get a goalkeeper in there because we've only got Bunny (Mark Bunn) left," Blackwell told the Star. "If we lost him we would have a real problem on our hands. But if we do manager to recruit then whoever comes in would be on a 24 hour recall so we could find ourselves in the same position. "We've got two or three in mind but people aren't too keen on letting lads leave at the moment because they know everyone has got a busy schedule coming up and that it's a vitally important time."
