Cheese on Toast Posted 31 August, 2012 Share Posted 31 August, 2012 Sharp ain't all that I'm afraid. Can't see how everyone rates him so much. How many other premiership teams would he get into? United Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sidney Fudpucker the 3rd Posted 31 August, 2012 Share Posted 31 August, 2012 Said on Facebook a couple of hours ago that the only way I'd change my mind about sharp leaving was if we signed Owen.

Matthew Le Tissier Posted 31 August, 2012 Author Share Posted 31 August, 2012 Anyway I still can't see it happening as we have been interested in him for months so why leave to last minute.

Unless he wanted to see what else was on the table first. Play games and end up giving him a smaller contract in terms of wage. Pay as you play would be best though.

Sidney Fudpucker the 3rd Posted 31 August, 2012 Share Posted 31 August, 2012 The last ITK i had was Sharp signing for Forest. I reported it at 6.54 after getting a text from Jamie Scowcroft. Posted on here as soon as I heard and then somebody claimed he broke the news about 2 hours later. Mug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sidney Fudpucker the 3rd Posted 31 August, 2012 Share Posted 31 August, 2012 He lives not far from me. The word here was that he favoured a move to a club nearer home. Stoke & Everton being the two mentioned. However, he said that if a move to either wasn't possible then he'd consider his options elsewhere. He said he'd sign for somebody this week and times running out. I could see it happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S-Clarke Posted 31 August, 2012 Share Posted 31 August, 2012 Surely as a free agent Owen can be signed at any time. Might need an MLG confirmation, but I think a 25 man squad needs to be submitted - and that cannot be changed until Jan, therefore if you sign a free agent after the window you cannot change your 25man squad.

Think you can add to it if you don't name 25, obviously only free agents can be added. Most clubs in the past have named less than 25, I would imagine with Billy & Deano going we have a space or two. By my reckoning we have max 23 players who we could name, leaves room for 2 free agents. So expect Owen & Heskey (please no) to fill the gaps.

Most clubs in the past have named less than 25, I would imagine with Billy & Deano going we have a space or two. This. I am fairly sure that development players, eg the four we promoted to the first team squad and the two new goalkeepers would leave us well under 25.

SuperMikey Posted 31 August, 2012 Share Posted 31 August, 2012 25-man squad rules - Players under the age of 21 do not have to be registered (i.e. Gazzaniga, Cropper, Shaw, Stephens, Ward-Prowse, Chambers etc) - There must be at least 8 Home Grown players in the squad (Not an issue for us) - You may leave gaps in your 25 man squad, but you must name a minimum of 18 players by the deadline. That can be added to with loan players and free agents up until the window for that closes (mid-September). Therefore if we have space in our squad before the Free Agents & Loan deadline closes, he can be registered with us. Same as any loan or free agent we may be interested in...

labibs Posted 4 September, 2012 Share Posted 4 September, 2012 Personally don't want him here. Adkins has made a lot of the fact that we are no playing 4-3-3, in order to make us more solid and competitive in midfield. This also allows us to play an attack minded mifielder (either Lallana or Ramirez) in the middle, to help try and unlock defences. Where does Owen fit into that? Presumably as the centre of the 3 upfront, but that offers no pace, physical presence or work rate. In short, he won't fit our system. Add to that he would presumably want sizeable wages and his ridiculously poor recent injury record and it would just be a stupid signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By my reckoning we have max 23 players who we could name, leaves room for 2 free agents. So expect Owen & Heskey (please no) to fill the gaps. Taken from the BBC If a club is unable to name 25 fit, over-21 players, in their squad they will be allowed to submit a list with a number of open positions that can then be filled by free agents at any time. However, clubs who do have 25 fit and over-21 players cannot deliberately leave players off the list in order to fill them with free agents between now and January 1. So I'm guessing all the players we have have to be on the list first....I'm guessing that means people like Ryan Dickson and Danny Butterfield have to get the nod before any free agents.
