Kilgallon handed Blades deadline

Kilgallon, 25, refused to sign a new deal at Bramall Lane in October and is expected to leave during the January transfer window, with Newcastle emerging favourites to sign the former Leeds central defender.But Blackwell, who has confirmed no bids have yet been made, said: "There has been a real grapevine of whispers of where 'Killa' may or may not go, but all I know is that unless there is a proper bid he stays here."There's a strong possibility that he could go, but at this stage I'm not resigned to it. What I do want is clarity on the situation because it's frustrating having to cover all the bases."Blackwell added: "We have given Matt and his agent one week to decide if they are determined that he moves on."We have a club to run and if by the end of the first week in January he's still here he will be staying unless something unforeseen happens."
