Could we take him and DJ Cambell on loan till the end of the season please? Not a chance I know, but if you don't ask... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone posted several weeks ago we were after two foreign and one British based, so with the Dutch keeper still a possibility, that might be our transfer window sewn up?

We have Tadanari San on line soon,Guly,Lambert and Connolly,we might all be pleasantly surprised by Doble this afternoon, even by AL playing in attack.I don't doubt that we will sign a supplementary striker but I don't see us paying a barrow load of cash for him nor giving him megabucks in guise of salary.Find young and improving candidates for a million and 10K'ish a week, that's where we should be looking.

Saints foreva Posted 7 January, 2012 Share Posted 7 January, 2012 TalkSport just said Sharp not playing today and available for £1.8 million. Seems like a move is imminent to a very lucky club.

Crazy Diamond Posted 7 January, 2012 Share Posted 7 January, 2012 Doncaster fans seem to think that Leicester had a £2m offer rejected. £2 million and £28k a week for a player who is just about proven at this level? That's a waste of money. Look at where Sharp has scored his goals - when he's carrying his teams, S****horpe and Doncaster. At Sheffield United he wasn't top dog and didn't get the goals. He wouldn't be first choice here. Could he cut it in the Premier League? I'm fairly sure if the consensus was that he could, he wouldn't be at Doncaster at all.

MerceSaint28 Posted 7 January, 2012 Share Posted 7 January, 2012 Im absolutely amazed no one has mentioned Ricardo Vaz Te....scored twice today and lots already this season. His contract is up in the summer...surely he would be an excellent signing?...young, pacey and scores goals...exactly what we need Also Matt Phillips would be an amzaing signing...can't help thinking they would want Punch and at least £3-4 mill but would be a fantastic long term investment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chez Posted 7 January, 2012 Share Posted 7 January, 2012 Every time I see Vaz Te I get the feeling he's got more luck than ability.I regularly used to suggest Vaz Te on the HCDAJFU threads three years ago. On the latest trip to Oakwell I have to say though that I was more impressed by Craig Davies (the fella they signed from Chesterfield) who was good in the air, had pace and has scored goals. I think Vaz Te only got ten minutes at the end and he caused us problems. As he has settled in he has done well up there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
