2013 Summer Transfer Window

[MouldyRoyal]

Agreed!

I was just about to say I had a feeling we could be about to sign someone as the club's PR dept have published another chat with AZ about transfer policies.

Drenthe would surely shit on the Championship, no?

[Pepe the Horseman]

Yes.

[shaka's shorts]

26 year old dutch international, pacey, left footed, ex Real Madrid - lovely jubbly!

[maffff]

According to http://www.voetbalzone.nl/doc.asp?uid=189766 we were in for Leandro Bacuna

[Pepe the Horseman]

Funnily enough, I did wonder if we'd been looking at him when I read he'd signed for Villa.

[FridaysGhost]

Two signings apparently imminent. It's nice that a lot of single threads are about players who are interesting - Hooper, Bridcutt, Benayoun, Drenthe etc. I would still like a few younger players with potential to come into view. Still, it;s looking interesting.

[maffff]

Interesting.

[winchester_royal]

Tomorrow it's on lads

[FridaysGhost]

Interesting.

[St. Brynjar]

Spelmann & Drenthe. Calling it.

[Royal Lady]

If one of the signings is Billy Sharp I'd have to question Adkins I'm afraid - as I don't see that Sharp would offer anything more than Noel Hunt has for us. Gutted Hunt has left tbh - If Adkins is looking to have a team in the Championship that will effectively be the following season's premier league team, then I'm not sure Sharp is our man.

[Pepe the Horseman]

His goalscoring record is literally twice as good as Noel Hunt's.

[LightwaterRoyal]

Sharp has 1 Premiership goal, Noel has 6.

[Pepe the Horseman]

Sharp has 0 Premier League goals. But he has only played 20 minutes, so I think we can let him off.

[Simon's Church]

NO MORE SOUTHAMPTON REJECTS!!! 1!

[Fezza]

Sharp down as 2 appearances for Southampton when they were in the Prem with one goal (I assume in the cup?)

Noel Hunt has 6 goals for Reading while they were in the Prem in 24 appearances (Again I assume that sme were in the cup!)

[Royal Lady]

I'd have thought Sharp was more like ALF and do we need two ALF's? So we'd have Pog, ALF and Sharp? Not exactly inspiring is it?

[LightwaterRoyal]

And Blackman

[winchester_royal]

I'd say Pog, ALF, and Sharp would be the best strikeforce in the league next season by quite a margin tbh

[winchester_royal]

Sharp has 1 Premiership goal, Noel has 6.

lol, pretty hard to score in the PL when you're on loan at a Championship club.

In his last 4 seasons at Champ level Sharp has scored 50 goals in 112 games.

Hunt scored 31 from 121.
