- Blades make eight available
Sheffield United manager Neil Warnock has made eight players available for transfer ahead of a massive January shake-up at Bramall Lane.
The Blades chief is planning a number of transfer arrivals in the new year so has made seven members of his first-team squad available for permanent transfers and one more available on loan.
Paul Ifill, Steven Kabba, Geoff Horsfield, Chris Lucketti, Alan Wright, Neil Shipperley and David Unsworth will be considered for permanent transfers or loans after failing to break into the first-team following the Blades' promotion from the Championship to the Premiership in the summer.
Meanwhile, injury-plagued midfielder Li Tie is available for loan only after seeing his time at Bramall Lane wrecked by a succession of problems.
The former Everton midfielder signed for the Blades in the summer but has made only one Carling Cup appearance after tearing his thigh muscle in September.
"All these players are all experienced campaigners and will no doubt be in demand," Warnock told the club's official website.
"They have all been of assistance to the rise of Sheffield United."
