Sheffield United boss Kevin Blackwell has revealed that he turned down the chance to make several signings on loan deadline day.

Blackwell says he was offered the services of a number of players, but decided to place his faith in the existing Bramall Lane squad.

Blackwell told The Star: "There was loads of interest. Lots of players wanted to come here, but I couldn't guarantee any of them a start.

"There were one or two from the Premier League and three of four from the Championship, good ones too.

"But the players already here are doing a job and should be complimented on that fact.

"It would be stupid to disrupt the team spirit we have here now for the sake of six or seven games."
