Sheffield United boss Neil Warnock is content that most of his summer signings have bedded in well at Bramall Lane.

Warnock brought in six new players in the summer and is content that five of them have proved to be good acquisitions, despite the Blades' struggles in the Premiership.

He said: "In all fairness I think five of them have done remarkably well. I think Claude Davis and Rob Hulse have been super.

"Colin Kazim-Richards has come in and done well, as has Ian Bennett.

"You've got Mikele Leigertwood who has been outstanding, so only David Sommeil has not been what I saw, but I think the injury he received at Worksop did not help his pre-season preparations.

"We have got to try to pull another three or four out of the hat in January and we are looking at some players for the second, sometimes third, time of asking.

"The Premier League is a hard league physically and mentally and it is difficult to bring players in from Europe."
