Avenue Saint 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. This!

S-Clarke Posted 30 January, 2012 Share Posted 30 January, 2012 Should be a good signing, lets not forget though Guly has scored just as many! Hope its not the end of Barnard really like him and would rather he stayed than Connolly Don't forget, he missed a big chunk of this season through injury.

SNSUN Posted 30 January, 2012 Share Posted 30 January, 2012 Only the player himself could screw this up now. A marquee signing at this level, and key if we want to get promoted THIS season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hooiveld, Falque, Lee, Sharp is a good window, add Puncheon to that and it's been nearly perfect. People say we need a keeper. I don't, not until the summer at least. Let's hope Sharp signs and starts tomorrow's game, and see what he really has to offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sussexsaint Posted 30 January, 2012 Share Posted 30 January, 2012 Always liked Barnard but a move may be the best for him, with Lambert Sharp Lee Guly and Connelly Above hime and kids coming up from below he is unlikley to get much pitch time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, well done NC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ART Posted 30 January, 2012 Share Posted 30 January, 2012 I am wondering whether Lee Barnard might be part of the deal, going the other way. Doncaster are going to need a striker to replace Sharp so one of ours might end up there either on loan or part of the deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EBS1980 Posted 30 January, 2012 Share Posted 30 January, 2012 Given the numbers available i'd guess that Sharp would take number 11 when(if) he signs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nonetheless would be over the proverbial moon with this, as Sharp is the striker I wanted from the off.[/quote'] The difference being that Phillips was signed from a Sunderland team who had just fallen like a stone out of the Prem and he'd only scored 9 goals. Hadn't scored since February when we signed him, so it was always likely to take a while to get his groove back. Sharp is on form right now (and about 6 years younger I think). Can't wait to see him banging them in with Messrs Rickie, Tadanari, Guly, Adam, Jason, Steve, Richard and Lee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobM Posted 30 January, 2012 Share Posted 30 January, 2012 NO! We didn't sign Hooper, De Bruyne or Shaquiri. Actually I know exactly what the moan will be. 'We wasted too much time and didn't sign them early enough, we'd be X points clear by now'. 'Should have signed them in the summer', 'should have had it ready to be announced Jan 1st to avoid our poor form' etc. Basically the usual disregard for reality, form, individuals, other clubs and a bizarre belief that football and indeed the world is a simplistic place and they know more than football managers, players and owners. Quite true, but wouldn't it be boring if ever reply to a new thread was 'I agree'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
