dubai_phil Posted 30 January, 2012 Share Posted 30 January, 2012 Where's St Peach when we need him.... Oh yeah we remember. Great news if true. But I'm sure some experts on here told me we weren't signing anyone this window Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveStone Posted 30 January, 2012 Share Posted 30 January, 2012 Excellent signing if it's true, for $2m considering what we were looking to shell out for Hooper. Just need a decent CB now to partner and/or cover Jos and Fonte and we should be all set for an auto promotion spot, which I'd more than happily take now considering our recent wobble/lose of form...

doggface Posted 30 January, 2012 Share Posted 30 January, 2012 Would be a great signing at this level, would be able to slot right in and is not much of a gamble. Could be difference between promotion and not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EBS1980 Posted 30 January, 2012 Share Posted 30 January, 2012 I would imagine the earliest we might hear something is early this evening? I'm guessing a medical might take a couple of hrs? then time they have gone over it all and put pen to paper would take us to early evening. Would be good to get him onboard today so we can spend tomorrow focusing on the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sussexsaint Posted 30 January, 2012 Share Posted 30 January, 2012 I would never have believed at the start of the transfer window that Sharp would be 'second choice' genuinely impressed by this. All the 'stalling points' seem to have coincided with possible breakdowns in Hoipper and his Celtic contract as well which adds slightly more credence to all the rumour. Now get that Stoke chappie as CB cover and I will be well chuffed with this window Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buctootim Posted 30 January, 2012 Share Posted 30 January, 2012 Where do our medicals take place, SMS,Staplewood,Soton Uni? Would be surprised if medicals dont now include whole body scans, especially if a player has had joint injuries in the past. That means a main hospital somewhere.

Pilchards Posted 30 January, 2012 Share Posted 30 January, 2012 To all those people that said he would not come down here, I put it on record that Saints was his no 1 choice and he would love to sign for us if we agreed his wage demands of 20k a week. We spoke to him a week before Xmas alongside Maynard but they both wanted too much at the time, this is why it was reported after Xmas Saints are not interested in the pair. I expect we have finally given up with Hooper and gone with our 2nd choice Sharp. If you want to give credit to the guy who got Sharp down here then step forward James Beattie.

This Charming Man Posted 30 January, 2012 Share Posted 30 January, 2012 Good signing if it does happen. Wonder what we'll be paying him as he apparently turned down an offer from Leicester which was supposed to be around £28k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saints_is_the_south Posted 30 January, 2012 Share Posted 30 January, 2012 Leicester signed Delfouneso just before 12pm on the day of the game against us, and he featured on the bench.

S-Clarke Posted 30 January, 2012 Share Posted 30 January, 2012 This is on par with our signing of Lambert in L1 imo. A prolific goal scorer at this level who will lift everyone, the fans, the staff and I'm pretty sure the players. He's available at a cut price fee, but IMO he's amongst the most prolific players at this level and I see no reason why he cannot do it at a higher level. Check out some of his finishes on Youtube, real quality in there. I'm bloody excited fwiw as a partnership of him and Lambo, on paper, is bloody mouthwatering.

Lighthouse Posted 30 January, 2012 Share Posted 30 January, 2012 Twitter rumour that Barnard might be heading in the opposite direction.... Believeable, although quite an easy one to make up.

once_bitterne Posted 30 January, 2012 Share Posted 30 January, 2012 Twitter rumour that Barnard might be heading in the opposite direction.... Wouldn't be a bad thing, Barnard has still to prove himself as anything other than L1 level and that would get rid of the possibility of any bad press if he gets sent down.

This Charming Man Posted 30 January, 2012 Share Posted 30 January, 2012 Twitter rumour that Barnard might be heading in the opposite direction.... Would make sense. If Sharp did come, Barnard would be 4/5th choice striker. Plus I don't think his touch is good enough for this level anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anothersaintinsouthsea Posted 30 January, 2012 Share Posted 30 January, 2012 Just been informed that Billy Sharp is having a medical before signing for Saints. Will try to get more info, reasonably reliable source......... This sort of comment always makes me chuckle. You may think your source is reasonably reliable, but is there any reason for us to think that you are reasonably reliable? A general point, definitely not singling you out.

alpine_saint Posted 30 January, 2012 Share Posted 30 January, 2012 Wow, sounds like this has legs and teeth this time.... What did we do, smash the wage structure, or did something change for him ?

forever a red and white Posted 30 January, 2012 Share Posted 30 January, 2012 Should be a good signing, lets not forget though Guly has scored just as many!

The Cat Posted 30 January, 2012 Share Posted 30 January, 2012 Good signing if it does happen. Wonder what we'll be paying him as he apparently turned down an offer from Leicester which was supposed to be around £28k. I'd imagine our wage offer (which I'd doubt would be £28k) comes backed with a huge payrise should we get promoted. And there's more chance of that happening here than at Leicester.

RobM Posted 30 January, 2012 Share Posted 30 January, 2012 Twitter rumour that Barnard might be heading in the opposite direction.... As much as I respect Barnard for his efforts last season, I wouldn't be disappointed with this. It might actually help us keep all our remaining strike force motivated too.
