Blades Target Wants To Leave

Halford, who saw his club Colchester reject a seven figure sum for the Defender/Striker from the Blades in the last transfer window has stated that he would like to leave Layer Road.

Halford said; "My transfer request is still in, I feel I have stepped up to Championship level but believe I have Premiership potential. Every player wants to play in the top-flight and I'm no different.

"The club could probably go out and buy three or four players if they sold me, but it depends whether they want to let me go."

The desire to leaves comes after the club lye 13th in the Championship after winning automatic promotion last season. A defender, who knows is way to goal is a huge asset for any club - this was demonstrated last week when the U's demolished Sheffield Wednesday to a 4-0 victory with Halford claiming one of the goals with a sweet 30 yard shot.

If the Blades do plan to make a bid for Halford then they will have to wait until January when the transfer window re-opens.
