Sheffield United have once again expressed an interest in signing Bolton veteran Gary Speed. It had been widely rumoured last week that Speed wanted out of the Reebok after he abandoned his coaching roles after he was left out of Bolton's games against Chelsea and Fk Rabotnicki. Speed's move underlined the growing hostility of senior players towards Sammy Lee's management style, but now Lee has gone.

It had also been rumoured that Speed may be on his way to Newcastle were former Bolton boss Sam Allardyce would offer him a coaching role at the club, but thus far nothing has materialised in the rumour. So you would of taught that after the arrival of Gary Megson at the club the speculation as to his future would of gone away, but that isn't the case. Sheffield United boss Bryan Robson is said to be very keen on offering Speed a three month loan deal at Bramill Lane.

Speed has been a great servant to the Premier League over the last 15 years or so, but could his time in the top division be over. I think if Robson was to sign him it would be a great move because although Speed is now 38, he hasn't lost any of his ability. He is still as fit as ever and knowing him he could go til he is 40. Wherever Speed ends up, wheter it be at Sheff Utd, Newcastle or even still at Bolton, I'm sure he'll do a great job whatever he's doing.
