VectisSaint Posted 30 January, 2012 Share Posted 30 January, 2012 Good signing, welcome aboard the waterbus. My only thought is, we now have 5 strikers who can play alongside RL, but its still difficult to see a combination that would work well when RL is not available. I guess it would have to be Guly & perm 1 from 3 of Sharp/Connolly/Lee/Barnard. Still desparately seeking a CB, then things will look sweet.

St Marco Posted 30 January, 2012 Share Posted 30 January, 2012 Great signing but more importantly I think the timing of it is exactly what was needed. A player to give some confidence to the other players when we were in a bit of a dip. Can't wait for tomorrow now! I bet the mong patrol will be really ****ed off about that one! The whole Cortese can't sign players thing is dead again for another window. What will they complain about now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dubai_phil Posted 30 January, 2012 Share Posted 30 January, 2012 Well, this has been an impressive transfer window so far. Not bad considering some told us aggressively that we weren't doing anything after about two days. Well happy with this So far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbh i'm guessing Sharp/Lambo up front and Guly out on the right (cover for Puncheon) and then Connolly to come on as sub. Barnard has been missing most this season, think a loan is what he needs to earn his way back into the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St Marco Posted 30 January, 2012 Share Posted 30 January, 2012 That leaves Lee and De Ridder out the squad completely. Surely not? De Ridder has had about 30 games in total (granted most were as a sub) and I just don't think he has done much. Lee I think would be a good player to slot in behind the forwards, so could maybe switch to a 3-5-2 at times or just a diamond 4-4-2. But he will have to earn his spot as right now he is unproven. Lambo and Sharp will get you goals. Connolly is experienced but sadly very injury prone so will mean Lee will get more chances anyway. We do have a big squad on paper, we could do with losing a few on loan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Secret Site Agent Posted 30 January, 2012 Share Posted 30 January, 2012 Well, if they didn't go and do it!!!!!!!!!!!! Billy Sharp, they went and signed him, as he was target number one. I was at an HA meeting last week with some collegues, West Ham and Reading fans, who were telling me that we were finished as a force and have stumbled, and to get out of the way and let the big boys play. I was having a power snap when my reading supporting collegue sent me a text saying : '****'. My West Ham collegues saying: 'Sheet'. They believe this is a 'cooo' (there spelling) and we have set out our stall and we're looking serious to challenge even more now. May I also give a 'woot' :lol:lol::lol:lol::lol:lol::lol:lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avenue Saint Posted 30 January, 2012 Share Posted 30 January, 2012 Chuffed, welcome Billy. But Alpine makes a valid point about integrating them all. Never expected we'd have 4 or 5 new players into the squad this window. Puncheon is back to play, but Chaplow was brilliant before injury. Lee is here to play, but Guly and Lambert have been brilliant, and now we have Billy Sharp. Many fans thought Connolly was great, but he surely now won't make the bench. And Falque was brought in for experience, yet he may now not play, while SDR always seems to do alright and can't be out the team forever. So basically we have 4 proper wingers now, Chaplow who can play there too, 4 central midfielders and 6 strikers. Over to you Nigel. Being honest, the squad we have now amassed does somewhat point to the fastly approaching end for players like dickson, holmes, forte, barnard and sorry to say it, connolly. That leaves us with the following: Davis Bart Richardson Butterfield Fox Harding Fonte Jos Jaidi Martin Lallana Punch De Ridder Falque Morgan Chaplow Cork Hammond Lambert Sharp Lee Guly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dannysfc Posted 30 January, 2012 Share Posted 30 January, 2012 I would also like to welcome Billy Sharp to Saints and straight onto the Saints Promotion Bus as well as that is a Great signing made by Adkins and also bringing in Matt Upson if true then I can see us hopefully get Promoted now but we'l see!!! Also is a Great strike partner for Rickie as well with Barnard n Guly as back up! I can't see him starting v Cardiff tomorrow But would be sure that he should start v Birmingham on Saturday but we'l see!!! COYR !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint J 77 Posted 30 January, 2012 Share Posted 30 January, 2012 A very good signing! 1 Million pounds cheaper than at the start of the season too so good business for us as well.

Gordon Mockles Posted 30 January, 2012 Share Posted 30 January, 2012 Really chuffed with that & it erases my doubts over funds not necessarily being forthcoming. Good goal getter at this level & we need a man who's there for the chances cos we create so many but don't always have a man who's always in the right place at the right time. I think he'll be superb alongside Ricky, in a Quinn type Philips partnership manner. We create enough chances. Sharp should bag up!! Good luck Billy & welcome to our humble club.

And to Paraphase: And when Alpine is content, All his friends are content too The boys on the forum, Darlek and Trousers are rag dolls, And secret site agent becomes a carved wooden bookend in the shape of a Hard Hat. And even Alpine, once he is content, becomes a cloth cat, baggy, and a bit loose at the seems But Atkins loves him. (copyright Oliver Postgate and reliving a youth).
