Hooiveld was on loan from Scotland and was therefore on an 'International loan', where the loanees (i.e Us) hold the players full registration. This means he can be signed permanently outside of the window.

Seriously. What is the obsession with Billy Sharp. He is not THAT good and not the type of striker we need.

"Groin Injury"

Note to Celtic: Scottish football is ****. Celtic are Championship standard. Your 'star striker' came from a League One club.

Where did you get this... Its not written in the rules

Boring

I hope West Ham struggle financially soon. The manager and 'bosses' seem clueless and reckless with spending. I'm sure it was Sullivan who said they would be around 40m in debt if they got relegated to the Champ... yet they have gone out and signed players for silly money and silly wages. They had 7 strikers in the match squad the other day!!!

Sharp is the most overrated player I have ever come across. I think people are getting too caught up in the 'stats' and branding him some sort of superstar. I hope we don't sign him. We need someone with some height, power and pace upfront not another slow short ass tap in merchant.

He was the only Cov player to cause us any problems. All their attacks came through him. He won the majority of long balls played up to him, he took his goal well and then caused problems with his strength for their 2nd.

Holmes is far below the quality we need now and in the future. As for people saying he is better than De Ridder... I am glad your not our manager!

Well teams used to always be full of local lads. I supposed the way Joel Ward busts a gut for Portsmouth is nothing to do with the fact he is a local boy. Nobody is saying it matters whether your a fan or not but if you are then your likely to feel the passion the fans feel. I know I would.

I think some of you are overreacting to the whole 'he supports saints' thing. He is a young striker, strong, tall and powerful. Apart from Lambert, we dont have this type of player in the squad. People arent saying sign him because he is a saints fan, that is just a bonus. In my opinion, he is one of the only strikers that has caused Hooiveld and Fonte real problems as he brushed them aside with his strength so easily.

Your wrong. It was actually... KEVIN: '@jasonpunch would be nice to swap you and cash for jordan' (rhodes) JASON PUNCHEON: '@saintkev1211 got more chance winning the lottery than that happening'

lol

Just seen that he has done some Japanese Nike adverts! Must be quite a big name over there then. Think this could really be a coup. Will reserve judgement until he has played though. He has alot of adapting to do.

Fox is probably the best set piece taker after Lambert. Not sure if this includes pens though.

Its is a done deal and just awaiting a work permit so yes it is transfer news.

More like 20-25k.

How was his English Shurlock?

Sharp is so overrated!! He will flop at the next club he joins.

Hythe... The nice village on the seafront by the New Forest? As apposed to somewhere like Millbrook, Lordswood or Thornhill?

Maybe we will sign other players too?

Has anyone looked at the time of his tweet and flight leaving shortly after?

How do you know this is his flight?
