Blah blah. Based on a rumours which are now concrete facts (not). The only thing we know for sure is that we signed Hooiveld, who has been outstanding and probably a far better player than either Gorkss or Jemal would have been.

buctootim Posted 30 January, 2012 Share Posted 30 January, 2012 Please let us sign sharp. Please. I am prepared for disappointment so anyone we do get will be great. Im not so convinced by Sharp. He is Doncaster's main striker and penalty taker yet 11th in the scoring stats well behind RL, Kevin Philips (who is 38 ), Guly and others. Henderson at Millwall - who are struggling like Doncaster - has 50% more goals. Is the 11th best striker in the championship really waht we need in the prem?

Lighthouse Posted 30 January, 2012 Share Posted 30 January, 2012 Surely there must be one deadline day that isn't a huge let down. In what way would it be a huge let down? We've already brought in a striker and 2 wingers, as well as getting Jos signed permanently. Barnard and Jaidi are back in the matchday squad and Seaborne is apparently starting training soon. Why the need for some big Hollywood ending to a transfer window. Our squad is much stronger now than it was before January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put him in the SPL and he'd score just as many as Hooper IMO. I like Hooper, but I think a 2m Sharp is better value than a 7m Hooper.

S-Clarke Posted 30 January, 2012 Share Posted 30 January, 2012 SSN reporting that Collins has failed to agree personal terms.

Minty Posted 30 January, 2012 Share Posted 30 January, 2012 In the interests of your own health, can I recommend that those who are likely to get a bit anxious about the slightest tweet mentioning Saints, just go away and do something else for the day? Seriously. You'll kill yourself worrying otherwise and that would then be one more thing for people to blame the club for, not to mention the paperwork...

But beyond this season would he cut it in the prem?, not convinced. Grant Holt and Steve Morrison seem to be getting on just fine, and you wouldn't have classed them as players who could cut it in the premiership. The quality of teams at the bottom end of that league now is shocking, so any half decent player can make an impact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasoneuelllfanclub Posted 30 January, 2012 Share Posted 30 January, 2012 I think Sharp will be good acquisition to help our promotion charge but IMO he is not good enough to play in the premiership. I think the problem is that Adkins has the same opinion and cortesi maybe reluctant to spend on a player that could be redundant next season. sharp deal could be sown up now but I get the feeling adkins really wants "top drawer" striker. danger with this is that sharp will loose patience and join reading or stay at donny. to get "top drawer" you have to pay top draw wages which cortesi appears reluctant to do.

doddisalegend Posted 30 January, 2012 Share Posted 30 January, 2012 I don't think we're the sort of club to do last minute deals these days. My gut feeling is we won't see anyone else in before the deadline. Still we've brought in, on paper at least, two decent new players as well as bringing a decent player back into the fold. Injuried players are coming back into contention and one ot two of the youth guys have played and not embarressed themselves so all in all I'm not to worried. A CB on loan to cover the injuries at the back would be good ......but I'm not holding my breath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
