CONFIRMED - Billy Sharp

[genome]

With all this will he/won't he going on, just wondering if Sharp will lose his cutting edge before he arrives.........

Billy Blunt doesn't quite have the same ring to it.

I'm sure Super Nick Blackman will remind him how to score goals.

So Sharp may not be so erm.....Sharp?

I just don't see the point in signing Sharp, as others have said he may have lost his edge and lustre. I also don't think the manager will be able to get a handle on him. It'll reflect badly on the manager if he doesn't make the cut.

This thread is being butchered

Seems to have had a pretty good handle on him at Scunny and Southampton.....

The puns are starting to go a bit flat.

To save me time, are they saying he has signed, with the proof being a quote of the Reading Chronicle quoting Sky Sports saying he's signed?

Striker set to arrive in coming days from Southampton

Love the following bit:

"If the deal goes ahead as expected this week, Royals will have beaten off fierce competition for Sharp’s signature.
The striker was wanted by Sheffield Wednesday and Sheffield United, as well as Bournemouth and Nottingham Forest, where he spent a successful spell on loan last season".

Fierce competition I call that not - Sheff Wed and United and Bournemouth probably could barely afford him a week methinks let alone 3 months. Can we have him for £5? Oh no, sorry for asking.

I bet it's Billy Sharp...

You mean it's not Kevin Keegan, Mick Channon or Matthew Le Tissier?? Gutted

[ILoveMoonPig]

Its not the end of the world if this deal falls through. There are alternatives; I hear Momo Sissoko is a free transfer

i heard down the pub that this wont go through until Friday, cause of some 93 day loan rule bullshit. Not sure if this has been mentioned, not going to trawl through a 45 page thread that Andrew started...

[melonhead]

yeah, im guessing its something to do with having him here till the january window or something
ive not seen it anywhere, but it just seems to make sense

[genome]

If we do get him, will he be available for the Christmas and New Year fixtures?
