Wonder what'll happen to Zak Brunt. Think he can definitely play that 'Attacking CM role' in a 3-4-4 or behind the strikers in 3-5-2

From Sheffield's The Star.

The Blades have used the loan market to good effect in recent years, preferring to expose their best young players to the rigours of ‘real’ football rather than the more comfortable environment of their U23 side.

Two such players who were placed elsewhere last season were Zak Brunt and Kacper Lopata. The pair initially joined Southend United on youth loans, before Brunt was recalled in January and sent to Notts County for the remainder of the campaign.

Southend instead signed Harrison Neal from United as Brunt’s replacement and Kevin Maher, the Shrimpers boss, has registered his interest with United over signing him and Lopata on loan again, telling local media in Essex that he “understands” the situation.
But no firm decisions will be taken while United’s own squad make-up is still up in the air, while Paul Heckingbottom and his coaching staff may look to secure a Football League club for the likes of Brunt and Lopata if they are allowed to leave on loan this summer.
 
Might be just sending out a message to our other targets to say "don't mess us around as we have other irons in the fire" .... you get my drift I hope.
 
He’s not winning many fans for liking that tweet on Sheffield United’s forum. Think the lad just wants to play football and doesn’t feel like he’s been given an opportunity there. Recalling him last season when he was enjoying himself and then not playing him would’ve been a kick in the nuts.

Seems like he just wants to go out on loan and play football without having to commit himself with a new contract to a club he doesn’t think will give him many chances.

I make you right there, but I reckon we are just passing observers in this as, much as we would like him to return, I really can't see it happening. He has always struck me as a driven ambitious individual and, if that is true, then it's Football League for him, on loan or permanent.

Absolutely agree. Had we been promoted last year and were back in league two, I think we’d probably be top of his list. But he’s proven he’s more than capable at our level and I agree he seems a really ambitious lad, so I think he’ll have his sights set higher unfortunately.
