slickmick Posted 25 June, 2011 Posted 25 June, 2011 Quite a generalisation to categorise all chances as being equally easy/difficult. Were not talking half chances, but you will no doubt want a ratio of difficulty from 1 to 10.
Matthew Le God Posted 25 June, 2011 Posted 25 June, 2011 Were not talking half chances, but you will no doubt want a ratio of difficulty from 1 to 10. Those stats are for all chances. Half chances, full chances whatever. In any case using your logic... Rickie Lambert = 21 goals from 149 chances in a lower league = 1 goal in 7 chances Sharp's 1 in 5 in the league above doesn't look so bad now does it?
slickmick Posted 25 June, 2011 Posted 25 June, 2011 Wot stats ? Did I mention stats? from the book of stats from Mathew Le God knows all ? I'm talking about people who are season ticket holders, who are not including half chances but should have scored chances.
Matthew Le God Posted 25 June, 2011 Posted 25 June, 2011 Wot stats ? Did I mention stats? Yes, yes you did... Not when he only scored one in five chances. That is a stat, and that is what I was posting in response to (hence why I quoted it).
Glasgow_Saint Posted 25 June, 2011 Posted 25 June, 2011 Yes, yes you did... That is a stat, and that is what I was posting in response to (hence why I quoted it). "hence" I love hence
Ivan Katalinic's 'tache Posted 26 June, 2011 Posted 26 June, 2011 Apart from a few suggestions on various message boards' date=' has there been anything which confirms us as the side who bid for Sharp? At what point will we need to change the thread title to Sharp rumour cools down?![/quote'] Nothing further really of note over the weekend... could this be the cooling down point...??
Badger Posted 26 June, 2011 Posted 26 June, 2011 Nothing further really of note over the weekend... could this be the cooling down point...?? I think it has reached a bit of a "level" at the moment. We have made an offer, it has been declined. The "cooling down" or 'reheating' will largely depend on Sharp when he returns to preseason training. If he makes it known he wants to play for NA again then I'd expect some deal to be thrashed out. Although as it has gone public from Doncaster's end there may be a scramble involving other clubs.
Crazy Diamond Posted 26 June, 2011 Posted 26 June, 2011 We're linked with probably hundreds of players each season. Why was this ever 'hot' ?

Crazy Diamond Posted 29 June, 2011 Posted 29 June, 2011 Unless a Premier League comes in for him... Keep dreamin'. I could see Warnock bidding for him. Whilst I'm there... It's worth remembering that QPR are richer than us and a Premier League a now, and they've not signed anyone (to my knowledge). They're supposedly in for Jimmy Bullard but that's about it. Are their fans going mental about it?

No reason to suggest sloppy journalism at all. Sharp may be mistaken in thinking a prem club will come in for him but that's hardly the journalist's fault.
thorpie the sinner Posted 29 June, 2011 Posted 29 June, 2011 Shouldn't this antiquated thread be re entitled Sharpe rumour freezes over!!

But until that happens, The echo and http://www.doncasterfreepress.co.uk/...move_1_3522862 are full of sh1t, always have been always will be.

So are the Doncaster people as well, we are Southampton no one would ever reject us.
NickG Posted 29 June, 2011 Posted 29 June, 2011 you believe all the made up stuff in papers? only have to look at the posh / norwich story with cms - and that's with quotes.
hypochondriac Posted 29 June, 2011 Posted 29 June, 2011 you believe all the made up stuff in papers? only have to look at the posh / norwich story with cms - and that's with quotes. No but I dont dismiss something just because it's a negative story.
NickG Posted 29 June, 2011 Posted 29 June, 2011 think you are probably safer dismissing papers reports on transfer ruomurs
thorpie the sinner Posted 29 June, 2011 Posted 29 June, 2011 I heard Sharpy had turned us down from another Donny player, oh well!!!!! Still have a feeling we might go wow, when our hidden targets are announced!!!
Leicestersaint Posted 30 June, 2011 Posted 30 June, 2011 I would have thought that Sharp was seriously over-priced at £3 million plus!
capitalsaint Posted 30 June, 2011 Posted 30 June, 2011 I heard Sharpy had turned us down from another Donny player, oh well!!!!! Still have a feeling we might go wow, when our hidden targets are announced!!! do you think we have hidden targets to be announced, rather than we're just not able to bring in our first choices?
View From The Top Posted 30 June, 2011 Posted 30 June, 2011 I would have thought that Sharp was seriously over-priced at £3 million plus! Totally.
NickG Posted 30 June, 2011 Posted 30 June, 2011 not as over priced as CMS as £3m! Unless we have huge budget - no thanks!
hypochondriac Posted 30 June, 2011 Posted 30 June, 2011 3 million or thereabouts seems to be the going rate for decent npc strikers at the moment. It's not overpriced at all.
View From The Top Posted 30 June, 2011 Posted 30 June, 2011 3 million or thereabouts seems to be the going rate for decent npc strikers at the moment. It's not overpriced at all. As no one is paying £3mill it's clearly is overpriced. Crazy money and no way should we be paying it.
hypochondriac Posted 30 June, 2011 Posted 30 June, 2011 As no one is paying £3mill so it clearly is overpriced. Crazy money and no way should we be paying it. You don't know that.
hypochondriac Posted 30 June, 2011 Posted 30 June, 2011 As no one is paying £3mill so it clearly is overpriced. Crazy money and no way should we be paying it. Bet some of the players being talked about will go for those sums. Cms maybe sharp among others.
View From The Top Posted 30 June, 2011 Posted 30 June, 2011 You don't know that. Care to show me where a NPC club has paid £3mill so far for a striker? No, thought you couldn't.
NickG Posted 30 June, 2011 Posted 30 June, 2011 just not convince CMS would improve us £3m - over Lambert, Guly, Barnard, Connolly, Lallana, Ox-C in any combination - player of his age, one very good season in league 1, last year of contract - think £3m is silly price
Micky Posted 30 June, 2011 Posted 30 June, 2011 Can't be assed to do the full 4 pages boys, so is this rumour still hot or rot....?

Not yesterday, not today and not tomorrow.

Leslie Charteris Posted 30 June, 2011 Posted 30 June, 2011 Can't be assed to do the full 4 pages boys, so is this rumour still hot or rot....? He didn't want to move too far from sunny Sheffield, it seems. I wonder how much Doncaster will miss that £3.25m...

Strange that it was the BBC local radio that reported him rejecting us then, guess you should apologise.....
Wopper Posted 30 June, 2011 Posted 30 June, 2011 So Saints not good enough for our Billy he would rather earn peanuts at Doncaster.
View From The Top Posted 30 June, 2011 Posted 30 June, 2011 Not yet but bet they do. Sounds like my 9yo when he realises he's wrong.
S-Clarke Posted 30 June, 2011 Posted 30 June, 2011 Not yet but bet they do. That's not a great argument is it.
corsacar saint Posted 30 June, 2011 Posted 30 June, 2011 Did CMS not put his value up to 3 million,by his 60 second cameo against the great Brazilians at-The Emirates?, even though he did not even touch the ball.[i still think for a lesser price he would have been good for us].
hypochondriac Posted 30 June, 2011 Posted 30 June, 2011 Sounds like my 9yo when he realises he's wrong. WTF are you on about? I'm fully aware that no one has paid three million for an npc striker yet. You can't just state that they are not worth it when there is so much more left of the window.
hypochondriac Posted 30 June, 2011 Posted 30 June, 2011 That's not a great argument is it. About as great as saying they are not worth it and your reasoning for that being that no one has come in for them and paid that amount. There is ages left in the window and I think there will be quite a few npc clubs willing to spend that amount on proven quality. Whether the player accepts them is another matter.
Nexstar Posted 1 July, 2011 Posted 1 July, 2011 Adkins on Sharp: "Significant bid accepted. Decided for our own reasons not to pursue the deal." So we turned him down?
itchen_dan Posted 1 July, 2011 Posted 1 July, 2011 Adkins on Sharp: "Significant bid accepted. Decided for our own reasons not to pursue the deal." So we turned him down? I think it's clever from Saints because it was a large bid but must mean that we have other targets in mind?
SuperSAINT Posted 1 July, 2011 Posted 1 July, 2011 Adkins on Sharp: "Significant bid accepted. Decided for our own reasons not to pursue the deal." So we turned him down? Would seem strange because of Nigel's history with him.
S-Clarke Posted 1 July, 2011 Posted 1 July, 2011 Adkins on Sharp: "Significant bid accepted. Decided for our own reasons not to pursue the deal." So we turned him down? Possibly the wages he wanted, and maybe his mindset for moving down south. Maybe he feels we can get better value elsewhere? Who knows, but at least it shows we have significant money to use.
Wade Garrett Posted 1 July, 2011 Posted 1 July, 2011 Adkins on Sharp: "Significant bid accepted. Decided for our own reasons not to pursue the deal." So we turned him down? I don't think it matters whether we pulled the plug on the deal, or he just didn't want to move South. Surely the point is that we bid decent money for him.
SuperSAINT Posted 1 July, 2011 Posted 1 July, 2011 Possibly the wages he wanted, and maybe his mindset for moving down south. Maybe he feels we can get better value elsewhere? Who knows, but at least it shows we have significant money to use. Agreed on wages. It's the only thing that makes sense. I'd imagine we may now up our offer for CMS.
