Saints Pre Season Thread

I see the Gash hasn't bothered to turn up.

 

Because he is on holiday, due to World Cup participation.

 

On another note, and have said this for a while, Billy Sharp would score goals at any level. Need to sort his contract out.

 

World Cup and Champions League finals? Do you draw no line? Just "goals at any level"?

 

He wasn't exactly hitting them in for fun in the Championship last season.

Crap players around him.

 

Ronald will unlock the inner 'Billy'.

 

You wait and see.

 

No, not sure I expect him to either.

Because he scored a penalty in a friendly against a nothing team? He really wouldn't.

Sharp is nowhere near good enough for PL level. Bit of a backward step that he has been brought back into the fold IMO. Wasnt part of last pre season.

 

Sharp is a contracted professional at the club, what do you propose they do with him during this pre-season? Train on his own at Staplewood? Bit harsh isn't it? I'd imagine they are looking to sell/loan him if possible and if they can't his contract will run down and he'll leave next summer.

Yep, makes sense to me. Whatever the plans are with him, match fitness will help him and us. Might as well play him while alternatives aren't ready.

he was full of it regarding sharp when people suggested we should have kept him instead of loaning him out from the off.

MLG gave us links about how mayuka was one of the top 100 players in the world or something....

Neil Shiperley?

 

Possibly, and certainly now!

 

In all seriousness, nothing against Sharp - but hopefully once the real friendlies come round he will have been loaned out. Football is a ruthless game afterall and we carried a couple of passengers last season who are still involved which is also slightly worrying.

Looks like Koeman wants to see everybody and make up his own mind who to shift and who to keep.

 

What??? FFS surely RK should just come on here and find out which players we like and play them not make up his own mind by looking at all the players on the books. Maybe RK could start a poll on here each week the top eleven most voted players play that week.....

Club were ok to prevent RK from seeing the three England players...you would think they could have got rid of the (obvious) deadwood too at the same time!

That's ludicrous.

 

We'd clearly have to back our suggestions with FIFA (updated) and Football Manager stats.

Sharp went backwards last season, and the one before that to be fair. Can probably still do a championship job but even that is in doubt now. Shame really.

Sharp spend a long time out injured last season. He finally seems to have shaken it off and deserves the opportunity to play with decent players around him.

 

I note after 24 hours moderation Saint Charlie's forgotten to take his medication for his negativity syndrome.

There would be no better way to achieve our drive for scaled back ambition than to play Billy Sharp next season.

Thank god our visionary former chairman signed off such a lengthy contract for a player we need for all of six months.

Or refused to sell him when the opportunities came as well. He must have known he would be needed one day, more great foresight and vision from the Don.

Sharp definitely wanted out but was told in no uncertain terms that no means no.

Poor guy must feel like a hostage and our tough treatment of Sharp must be a big put off for potential targets.

 

Nah, he's on an obscene amount of money. Once someone sat him down and told him that his ambition to ever play anywhere else simply disappeared.
