Martin: Enjoyed loan spell at Bramall Lane

The Blades manager completed the double signing of Sun Jihai and Greg Halford this week and now wants wingers Cotterill and Martin back at Bramall Lane, where they spent three months on loan last season.

Blackwell said: "I hope to tie up a deal for a wideman soon. Cotterill is desperate to come back and Martin has made it clear that he feels the same.

"Martin only played a bit under me last season, but both enjoyed the football and the atmosphere around the place.

"There's a possibility that we could get both, there's a need to change games and strength in-depth is massive for this division. We've got options."
