Speed Will Sign For Blades In New Year!
The 38-year-old had earlier admitted he may have to leave the Reebok Stadium in order to prolong his career because of a lack of first-team opportunities under Gary Megson.
Bryan Robson: "I tried to get Gary before the season started but Bolton wouldn't release him.
"Since then I spoke to (former manager) Sammy Lee before deadline day and then Gary Megson but got the same answer so it has been an ongoing thing.
"He was in a very successful side then and was on big money but I am still pleased to get him now.
"He is a very experienced player, a 'youthful' late 30s type whose knowledge will be invaluable to us."
Speed is the only player to have made more than 500 Premier League appearances.

Cost £5.5m from Everton, after he won a Championship winners medal at Leeds. Good, strong midfielder who took his time to settle into the team, but had a great understanding with Rob Lee. Gets most of his goals attacking from deep on corner-kicks, sneaking in unnoticed on the near post. Welsh international skipper. Joined Bolton the summer of 2004.
