If true, then he's an incredibly refreshing footballer - and from how he dealt with his sad loss last year, he seems to be a very good character.

St Marco Posted 30 January, 2012 Posted 30 January, 2012 We're still negotiating personal terms. Or at least, personal terms weren't agreed at 2.45pm this afternoon. May have changed since then, but on this occasion the medical has come before agreeing personal terms. Club are still confident (hence the medical), but nothing has been agreed with Sharp yet. Any mods on that can check the ip for this guy against our resident in the knows ip? I don't know if it is just me but I have a hunch based on the tone both use in their posts they could be the same person

Not interested in the money, just wants to play for #SaintsFC. If this is true, you gotta love how Saints are being viewed in footballing circles right now. Real sense of professionalism and progressive thinking emanating from the club no doubt.
St Marco Posted 30 January, 2012 Posted 30 January, 2012 On that note welcome Sharp! Grab an oar mate! Great signing for us and if what that Simon guy said is true then what a class guy. In football today very few of them around!
anothersaintinsouthsea Posted 30 January, 2012 Posted 30 January, 2012 If true, then he's an incredibly refreshing footballer - and from how he dealt with his sad loss last year, he seems to be a very good character. I'd imagine that he's been offered some sort of promotion bonus/wage increase - something that Leicester wouldn't be offering this year.

Saints foreva Posted 30 January, 2012 Posted 30 January, 2012 http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/16794210.stm It is believed that the two clubs have agreed a fee for the striker who now has to agree personal terms. So he isn't exactly set for Southampton if terms haven't been agreed.
Glasgow_Saint Posted 30 January, 2012 Posted 30 January, 2012 Surely if we discussed terms in the summer we will know what he wants – for us to go back in and fail again would be stuuupid. Its NC’s job to make the club attractive and negotiate player wages – lets see if he can get it right 2nd time around!
Bucks Saint Posted 30 January, 2012 Posted 30 January, 2012 If he does sign, then my hope (apart from the obvious that he does very well, scores and creates plenty) is that he does not do what he did to Sheff Utd after leaving them, which was to score against them and then go right up to the touchline in front of their fans and lord it massively to them. Shades of Charlie Austin behaviour which is not something to admire. Hopefully that was a one off, and Billy was still quite young and has moved on since then. Welcome (if you do sign!)

I would imagine that certain events this season will have made him more mature.
Minty Posted 30 January, 2012 Posted 30 January, 2012 Its NC’s job to make the club attractive and negotiate player wages – lets see if he can get it right 2nd time around! We don't know he got anything wrong the first time around.

Striker has hard time at club, derided by fans, leaves club, scores against said cub with new club, goes wild in celebration. Nowt wrong there.

So he isn't exactly set for Southampton if terms haven't been agreed. Lots of marginally contradictory reports. However wouldn’t necessarily automatically make the beeb the authority on transfer rumours. Anyway, who cares what stage the transfer is currently in, as long as he’s a saint by the end of the window is what counts!

Nowt wrong there. Yep understood of course, its just that most players get a bit of grief from their old fans and when they do score, reactions tend to vary between no celebration / muted celebration / normal run to your team mates punching the air type celebration. Only a few do the exaggerated in your face / FU type and its not a quality to admire. As has been posted, he is probably a very different man now and fair play if so

Ivan Katalinic's 'tache Posted 30 January, 2012 Posted 30 January, 2012 This is the first time I've ever been desperate to see a tweet from Jordan Sibley...
West End Saint Posted 30 January, 2012 Posted 30 January, 2012 Fingers crossed this deal comes off it would be a very good signing a bit of cover for Jos at centre back & it will have been a good transfer window
Crazy Diamond Posted 30 January, 2012 Posted 30 January, 2012 SFC page is not loading, could be some imminent news... I think we can rule that one out. Same old story, Mr. Sibley will tweet first I imagine.
Hoppysaint Posted 30 January, 2012 Posted 30 January, 2012 Apologies must be a problem with my computer at work. Probably something to do with me refreshing the page 5465 times a minute.

Ivan Katalinic's 'tache Posted 30 January, 2012 Posted 30 January, 2012 Tweet from Gordon Simpson saying it would now have to be something pretty major to stop this deal happening. No, Nicola don't mention the wage cap...!
Barry the Badger Posted 30 January, 2012 Posted 30 January, 2012 Why would Chaplow be there? To translate?

Joey-deacons-left-nut Posted 30 January, 2012 Posted 30 January, 2012 Billy sharp just entered Richard Chaplow with Nigel Adkins giving you a smug grin???
Glasgow_Saint Posted 30 January, 2012 Posted 30 January, 2012 The Chaplow spot is probs just some bold guy!?
beavis17 Posted 30 January, 2012 Posted 30 January, 2012 Random chaplow.. More likely to be Nick Harvey?
Matthew Le God Posted 30 January, 2012 Posted 30 January, 2012 Or Simon Williams from the media department at Saints.
itchen_dan Posted 30 January, 2012 Posted 30 January, 2012 Unless its Simon Williams? They guy who writes the articles on the OS and pieces in the programmes?
sfc1971 Posted 30 January, 2012 Posted 30 January, 2012 (edited) Why would Chaplow be there? Don`t know just relaying message, my guess is maybe he has had a fitness test. Assuming they have been to fitness suite at Solent Uni. Edited 30 January, 2012 by sfc1971 ?
Pancake Posted 30 January, 2012 Posted 30 January, 2012 The Chaplow spot is probs just some bold guy!? Or bald?
LGTL Posted 30 January, 2012 Posted 30 January, 2012 SSN reporting that personal terms have already been agreed..
conaero Posted 30 January, 2012 Posted 30 January, 2012 I can see it being the 'Lambert and Sharp' show, great news!
