Avenue Saint Posted 30 January, 2012 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!
iansums Posted 30 January, 2012 Posted 30 January, 2012 The bald bloke on SSN just said we have agreed personal terms and the only thing left is the medical. What did the guy with a full head of hair say?
S-Clarke Posted 30 January, 2012 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 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.
daveygwyatt Posted 30 January, 2012 Posted 30 January, 2012 So if we sign Sharp what will all the doom and gloom merchants moan about ? Or will they except its been a good window.
trousers Posted 30 January, 2012 Posted 30 January, 2012 How long does it take to have a medical? FFS....come on.... #impatient
ALWAYS_SFC Posted 30 January, 2012 Posted 30 January, 2012 So if we sign Sharp what will all the doom and gloom merchants moan about ? Or will they except its been a good window. Have no fear they will find something to whine about
SNSUN Posted 30 January, 2012 Posted 30 January, 2012 So if we sign Sharp what will all the doom and gloom merchants moan about ? Or will they except its been a good window. 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.
sussexsaint Posted 30 January, 2012 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
Minty Posted 30 January, 2012 Posted 30 January, 2012 How long does it take to have a medical? FFS....come on.... #impatient lol. Step back from the computer, go make a cup of tea, and chill out...
angelman Posted 30 January, 2012 Posted 30 January, 2012 If/when this goes through, I think that I'll feel a bit sorry for Donny. While it might be our gain, it will surly really screw Donny. I know that if it wasn't us, it would be someone else and I know that they can try and get someone else in, but....
S-Clarke Posted 30 January, 2012 Posted 30 January, 2012 3 out of the top 5 scorers in the nPC. ....not bad! With a supply line of Lallana, De Ridder and now Puncheon. This is now looking better and better!!
skintsaint Posted 30 January, 2012 Posted 30 January, 2012 Scores a lot of pens.....wonder who will take them between him and RL?
dubai_phil Posted 30 January, 2012 Posted 30 January, 2012 How long does it take to have a medical? FFS....come on.... #impatient Medical Inpatient Is this some new form of clue? Has something bad happened with the Medical?
influx Posted 30 January, 2012 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 ? Maybe after the past traumatic 6months, him and his wife have decided they need a change of scenery. Trust you to be the first person to mention that, in what was a really nice and upbeat thread.
Wade Garrett Posted 30 January, 2012 Posted 30 January, 2012 I'm so excited about Sharp signing that a little bit of wee has just come out.
Big Bad Bob Posted 30 January, 2012 Posted 30 January, 2012 If/when this goes through, I think that I'll feel a bit sorry for Donny. While it might be our gain, it will surly really screw Donny. I know that if it wasn't us, it would be someone else and I know that they can try and get someone else in, but.... No worries, I heard that the "train picture" is also a condition of the transfer, going the other way..

Absolutely, although I'll temper your excitement with the words "Phillips" and "Beattie", which was meant to be our last league destroying striking partnership... Nonetheless would be over the proverbial moon with this, as Sharp is the striker I wanted from the off.
Verbal Posted 30 January, 2012 Posted 30 January, 2012 Scores a lot of pens.....wonder who will take them between him and RL? Damn, not another biro thief.
DT Posted 30 January, 2012 Posted 30 January, 2012 Great - but still worried about the defensive side of things. CB and keeper.
Ivan Katalinic's 'tache Posted 30 January, 2012 Posted 30 January, 2012 No worries, I heard that the "train picture" is also a condition of the transfer, going the other way.. After all this time, I knew there had to be a reason Rupert wanted that picture so badly. There must been a knock on for future transfer dealings. Genius. Cortese out; Lowe in.
S-Clarke Posted 30 January, 2012 Posted 30 January, 2012 Great - but still worried about the defensive side of things. CB and keeper. Keeper is for the summer, not now. Expect a CB in the loan window, Collins has fallen through and looks like going to Leicester.
SaintNeil90 Posted 30 January, 2012 Posted 30 January, 2012 I agree it is the defence that worries me. If we have Martin as the only recognised CB tomorrow night we will lose.
S-Clarke Posted 30 January, 2012 Posted 30 January, 2012 gordonsimpson Gordon Simpson Told that Sharp's personal terms were agreed before he set off for Southampton. #saintsfc
RobM Posted 30 January, 2012 Posted 30 January, 2012 gordonsimpson Gordon Simpson Told that Sharp's personal terms were agreed before he set off for Southampton. #saintsfc Assuming this is true (no reason it wouldn't be), I wonder if Cortese has stepped down from his usual stance a bit, knowing we need to strengthen this position and knowing we have very little time left to do so? If so, well done NC.
ART Posted 30 January, 2012 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.
EBS1980 Posted 30 January, 2012 Posted 30 January, 2012 Given the numbers available i'd guess that Sharp would take number 11 when(if) he signs.
Lighthouse Posted 30 January, 2012 Posted 30 January, 2012 Absolutely' date=' although I'll temper your excitement with the words "Phillips" and "Beattie", which was meant to be our last league destroying striking partnership... 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.
RobM Posted 30 January, 2012 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'.
Foxstone Posted 30 January, 2012 Posted 30 January, 2012 This deal has fallen through due to personal terms... Leicester are now in for him. Good, Collins is a carthorse. Prefer we shop elsewhere.
SuperSAINT Posted 30 January, 2012 Posted 30 January, 2012 gordonsimpson Gordon Simpson Told that Sharp's personal terms were agreed before he set off for Southampton. #saintsfc Brilliant.
trousers Posted 30 January, 2012 Posted 30 January, 2012 Great - but still worried about the defensive side of things. CB and keeper. We'll be scoring 4 or 5 each game now, so we can afford to concede 2 or 3 per game..... ;-)
pimpin4rizeal Posted 30 January, 2012 Posted 30 January, 2012 Great news a proven championship goalscorer With a top notch attitude, this has got to put us in a great position for promotion
trousers Posted 30 January, 2012 Posted 30 January, 2012 Matt Sullivan @MattSully90 @Adzman89 @westhamfootball Billy Sharp having medical with Southampton, seriously bad news. What can they offer that we can't?
alpine_saint Posted 30 January, 2012 Posted 30 January, 2012 Trust you to be the first person to mention that, in what was a really nice and upbeat thread. What do you mean by that ? I have 3 kids, two below the age of 10, and a fourth due in May. I know how devastated I would have been, and how I would need to change a few things in my life. I dont know Billy, but its an area where I can feel empathy for him. Sorry to be a baby bore
hypochondriac Posted 30 January, 2012 Posted 30 January, 2012 Have heard sharpe is nowhere near agreeing personal terms.
