Red Posted 30 January, 2012 Share Posted 30 January, 2012 Sharp took Donny's pens - wonder if there will be a bit of competition for Ricky? Probably not but good to have another option in that dept too :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cascadia Saint Posted 30 January, 2012 Share Posted 30 January, 2012 Extremely pleased with this signing! I always feel like you need 4 good strikers to choose from, and with the Lee signing too, our strikeforce is looking f u cking tasty!! Can't wait to get cracking with the rest of the league season! We're coming for you... We're coming for you! Every team in the country, we're coming for you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matthew Le God Posted 30 January, 2012 Share Posted 30 January, 2012 Billy Sharp isn't cup tied in the FA Cup as he did't play in the 3rd round for Doncaster vs Notts County, but he won't be able to play in the replay vs Millwall. He will be fine for the rest of the competition if Saints do go through. RULE 15 (f) All players must have been eligible to play in the original tie in order to play in a replayed or postponed match; however a player who has been suspended according to the disciplinary procedures under the Rules of The Association may play in a postponed or replayed match after the term of his suspension has expired.

Cascadia Saint Posted 31 January, 2012 Share Posted 31 January, 2012 One other note, neither Sharp or Adkins mentioned the chairman in the OS piece... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cascadia Saint Posted 31 January, 2012 Share Posted 31 January, 2012 Great hope that he will fit right in to our camp. Very heartening to find a player not putting money before all else in current age. Welcome aboard Saint Billy! Definitely! Sounds like exactly the sort of player we (and Adkins) want!

SNSUN Posted 31 January, 2012 Share Posted 31 January, 2012 They're probably assuming but sky sports report the fee to be around 1.8m. Just over half what we were trying to sign him for in the summer! Good business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St_Tel49 Posted 31 January, 2012 Share Posted 31 January, 2012 Yes but I said that I would do this if Hooper signed ! Awwwh - Go on - its near enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaintBobby Posted 31 January, 2012 Share Posted 31 January, 2012 Yes but I said that I would do this if Hooper signed ! Agree 100%. If we;d only got Hooper, we'd be pretty certain of a top 16 finish. Having only secured Billy Sharp, I'm much less sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suewhistle Posted 31 January, 2012 Share Posted 31 January, 2012 'Over the hills and far away Through Fratton, Upton and Ashusrt Gate, Nigel Command and we obey, Rickie and Billy scoring again' The song you want from that period is "The Rout of the Blues" ..Yay As I crossed over Salisbury Plain A dainty fine sight I beheld The lasses were crying and tearing their hair For the Rout had just come for the Blues The Rout had just come for the Blues I've just got in and steaming too... maybe thi is on the wrong thread....

thorpie the sinner Posted 31 January, 2012 Share Posted 31 January, 2012 Special mention must go to Pilchards who told us he was desperate to sign ages ago and Nicko from the Mirror who has got everything right so far despite being derided!!

Foxstone Posted 31 January, 2012 Share Posted 31 January, 2012 Absolutely delighted that Billy has joined us - He is a proven goalscorer and seems to have a fantastic attitude, just the type that fits in with our own club ethos. Congrats Nicola and Nigel and a huge welcome Billy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dubai_phil Posted 31 January, 2012 Share Posted 31 January, 2012 Oh noes .... more DP golfing storys ahoy. I trust you saw me with Tiger on telly Sunday Anyways, now you're back good news is (bad for Faraway) I can get Al Jis working in the lounge not the bedroom. Down side is their web site has been off line for ages so no idea what games are now being televised! Bet NA is having an interesting training sessions today. He has some tough decisions this evening. Assuming AL is not going to be risked then I'd go for a standard 4-4-2 but somehow can see NA going for his "one in the hole" formation with the 3 CM's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cabrone Posted 31 January, 2012 Share Posted 31 January, 2012 That's a great signing. We now have either a hard working, fast, honest proven goal scorer + an exciting, potentially explosive international talent to choose from to play alongside Rikky. If Rikky gets injured or suspended again we also should have enough strength in depth to still put out a dangerous forward line. From looking a bit threadbare a couple of weeks ago all of a sudden our attacking options look very strong indeed. Congratulations to the management team, I think they've had a very good transfer window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint_John Posted 31 January, 2012 Share Posted 31 January, 2012 Billy's first game at St Marys in 2004.

for_heaven's_Saint Posted 31 January, 2012 Share Posted 31 January, 2012 So many times I've watched in frustration as Lambert pulls out to the wings and puts in a great ball, only for no one to get on the end of it. 'If only we had another Lambert in the middle to finish it off' I've thought. Well now we have Sharp to do just that. Excellent! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jawillwill Posted 2 February, 2012 Share Posted 2 February, 2012 To the tune of: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QBYyKegNWBk Oooohooohoohoh We've got the best strike force in the whole world, We've got Lambert and Sharp, Guly do Prado, Connolly, Lee and Barnard etc. (or words to that effect).
