Red Robin Posted December 30, 2007 Report Share Posted December 30, 2007 Rumour has it BS can leave Bramall lane,possibly for 1.5 to 2 million.Surely the goal poacher that could nock the extra goals in for us,Wolves are rumoured to want him to partner Keough,however surely a bid for him in the window would be good business.Lets say he cost 1.75 million and promotion was gained what a cracking bit of business.Even if we stayed in the championship what a player to have on board for the 2008/09 season.I'm sure our club is looking at this calibre of player,as said before the chance is there lets grab it whilst we can a couple of million could bring in a fortune long term.

BristolCity1992 Posted December 30, 2007 Report Share Posted December 30, 2007 Hmmm the fans don't love him that much at the moment. 1.7 million would be to much I would say loan him for 6 months see if he can do the biz and stick in a 2 million Future Fee clause.

BristolCity4Life84 Posted December 30, 2007 Report Share Posted December 30, 2007 Personally he dosen`t particularly do it for me at the moment. We don`t need him bearing in mind the number of strikers we have at the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSN Posted December 30, 2007 Report Share Posted December 30, 2007 ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha another joker ha ha hawhat a waste of time responding with that.Always like Sharp. Very quick and certainly a type of player we havn't already got.But does GJ want to spend that much money? seems quite a lot just for the january sales. Surely a 50% off, or buy 2 and get the cheapest free is a lot better value for money? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WesM Posted December 30, 2007 Report Share Posted December 30, 2007 Remind us of his goal ratio following his step up to the championship?I've just looked at Billy stats for this seasonHe's only started 6 league games this season and appeared in another 6 as a substitute. So that's zero goals all season with a ratio of.......er....0.0 goals per game! Of the 6 games he started, he's been substituted 5 times.Some might argue that after all the money spent on him, one 90 mins of football (playing with several different partnerships week to week may I add) is hardly giving the lad a chance.It's a bit quick to say he isn't good enough at this level when he's barely been given a fair crack of the whip.

Red_Mat Posted December 30, 2007 Report Share Posted December 30, 2007 I've always rated Sharp - it was pretty clear he was the best striker in the First Division last season and the one before.But this season, in the division above and without his former S****horpe team, he looks lost. He's not really contributed anything to Sheffield United so far, and it doesn't look as if he can fit in at this level, let alone make the step up - well, hey, we've got think in terms of progression...

BS was plucked from S****horpe and put into a squad that had (and still has)a Premiership hangover, this will prove a mountain to climb for any player of that age, judging by the pressure that SU fans are putting their side under.If he jumps ship next month he will be brought into a successful (ex League 1) atmosphere which may be beneficial to him.

Listened to most of the second half of their game against Palace on sat (five live xtra) and his introduction was the catalyst to their best period of play. He'll prove to be a good striker at this level once the United oard do the sensible thing and sack their manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southvillekiddy Posted December 30, 2007 Report Share Posted December 30, 2007 Billy Sharp's problem about starting is Bryan Robson. Robson could be on the way out, so Sharp will want to stay and hope he gets a proper chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Robin Posted December 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2007 Personally he dosen`t particularly do it for me at the moment. We don`t need him bearing in mind the number of strikers we have at the club.The big difference between our current strikers and someone like BS is the guy is a goal poacher,someone who will bang the scraps in,the only player we have near that is Darren Byefield.Think he would be a cracking signing for us,Bryan Robson could be gone shortly,which could give BS another chance at Bramall Lane,however if Robson survives then it seems BS does not fit in.Heres hopeing BS I'm sure would be a hit down here.

dezgimed Posted December 30, 2007 Report Share Posted December 30, 2007 Which we desparately need.I don't think we do.Our strikers arent missing chances, we arent creating any.I'd back Trundle to score 9 times out of 10, but I cant think of a single chance offered to him in the last half a dozen home games.No crosses onto his head, no through balls, no one-twos..Any chances he makes, he does for himself ala S****horpe game.

Can't see Wolves or many Championship clubs wanting to sell to us now we are their rivals mind! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't see Wolves or many Championship clubs wanting to sell to us now we are their rivals mind!Most Wolves fans would rate Keogh as one of their best players, he is more a provider than a scorer. Don't think there's any chance of them letting us sign him I'm afraid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Robin Posted December 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2007 No mate.We need a striker to anticipate the knock downs, the rebounds etc etc.We need a striker to get stuck in in the 6 yard box - we have loads of chances in there every game, but no one to get onto it - Byfield is the nearest we have and he's done relatively well at it but not well enough.Someone on the same wave length,we have had many a chance where a poacher could and would have hit the net,we have not put the chance away,Someone like BS would definatly add that dimesion to the side.Our style of football would suit his game.
