CONFIRMED - Billy Sharp

[Ian Royal]

Yes please, and I think almost a given we'll get him. Similar ish to Alf though?

Except Alf's better

Sharp's record in the Championship suggests otherwise, AND he can play 90 minutes...

ALF doesn't really have much of a Championship record. So not really comparable.

[SPARTA]

Forest fans seem to think Sharp will come here. I'd be very happy with that.

[Simon's Church]

No ta

[JordCot]

Ca he play up top by himself?

tbh I can't help feel a bit meh about this singing. I'm sure if he comes he will do well and I will end up loving him but quite frankly I won't be happy until I see the return of Cedric

[SPARTA]

Ca he play up top by himself?

He may not need to. Adkins favoured 4-4-2 in the Championship with Southampton.

[Maguire]

Never going to happen

Never is a long time m8

Sharp has announced on Twitter that he's signed a season loan with Accrington Stanley!!

[Divvy]

That's a bit WTF!!!

[Jay o/]

apparently doing james beattie a favour who is now the manager at accrington.

[(.)Boobies(.)]

Well that's disappointing. I'm still hoping it's a joke.

[winchester_royal]

Surely a piss take?

[Scutterbucketz]

I'm pretty certain it's a wind up.

[Wipped]

It looks genuine though. He's even copied in Accrington's official Twitter account and a legitimate agent. It's a very odd move if this is true.

Clearly a wind-up - look at his profile summary (https://twitter.com/billysharp10) , where it says:

im just that FAT LAD FROM SHEFFIELD who is on loan at nottingham forest from southampton

Why does that make it a wind-up? He's had that as his bio for several months!

The tick means verified account meaning not fake.

[SPARTA]

It's a genuine account, RW. It's such a strange move that you'd think it could be a wind-up, especially so early in the summer.

[akranes]

They are in a, uh, casino though...?

[winchester_royal]

Yeah, I'm fairly sure this 'deal' is a result of a few beers rather than lengthy negotiation.

[Wycombe Royal]

It's just a joke, they were in a casino together and did it for a laugh to fool idiots.....
