“Billy Sharp is set to hand Sheffield United a huge boost in their pursuit of the Premier League by signing a new contract.

Sharp will effectively commit the remainder of his career to the Blades after agreeing a two-and-a-half-year deal, with confirmation expected on Thursday.” Etc

Great news. Well deserved

He can have the keys to the city if his goals take us up.

 

[KoppedOff]

Would love nothing more than to see him keep going, eventually transitioning into a Kevin Phillips type off the bench predator as he gets nearer 40. Do his badges, shadow Wilder and Knill and eventually, when the time is right, take over as heir apparent.

Basically, I dont want him to ever leave.

 

[west_yorks_blade]

Bladey nonsense, only in S2 blah blah etc. etc

 

[Ricky]

Phew, what a "huge boost".

We were all shitting ourselves he was going to leave during this peak period of transfer activity.

We might have half a chance after all.

 

[PeterNdlovu081]

A complete non entity.

Would never even get a mention if he didn't have Blades connections.

 

[Ranmoorblade]

Need to get a goal scorer in though.

I thought his legs had gone??

 

[bornablade]

His knowledge of goal scoring in and around that six yard box must be an invaluable resource for the future.

There are those however who have tremendous knowledge yet don't have the ability to pass on that knowledge effectively.

I hope Billy and the club in the next few years can work together so that his skill and his ability to coach are aligned and future strikers truly benefit.

 

[Rob86]

Very unexpected, now what about the others we were negotiating with !?

 

[DronnieBlade]

Hugely underrated footballer.

Mostly by the “experts” that inhabit this very forum. You know who you are .

UTB

 

[Weasel]

Very, very, very, very good news.

Now get the other lads signed up (O'Connell and Enda) and jobs a gud un.

 

[drinksmat]

Don't worry, we will still sell him pronto if the right offer comes in.

 

[Bladesman]

I thought he was off to the MLS?

 

[1973Blade]

It should be ten years!

I don’t think it’s much to do with knowledge tbh. It’s to do with instinct. And you can’t pass that on very easily to others. You can’t train it in. Players either have it or they don’t.

Billy has a natural talent for being an instinctive finisher. He’s one of a rare breed. Be great to think he could transfer that to others but I don’t see how? But if he can then I’d get him to start with Washington perhaps? Because that bloke has pace and strength but poor awareness of being in the right place at the right time and putting chances away.

All fallen out with Wilder and nailed on to leave in the summer.

WUHDP?

He is!

Billy loves the city and the blades in equal measure why go to American grass ain't always greener elsewhere.
He's obviously not driven by money as a stint in the states would be very lucrative.
Well done Billy , a class act !.

 

[Billyblade]

Do you think I might get a like if I posted the following pic under a new thread title of "Sharpie signs"?

We all call him Sharpie don't we? No? Ruined a very good joke then. I'm off to find something else to wind people up with. Or I might go on Rate my Plate

 

[sitwell]

Hes been coaching for a few years now ,it will be a natural progression into coaching at the club I reckon.

 

[Nicolaus_Copernicus]

I thought his legs had gone??

That's the funny thing about legs, they can go at anytime. They might not have gone just yet, but they're going, and they'll be gone before 2 1/2 years is up.

 

[diode_blade]

Yeah but he's just a fat lad who can't score apparently...according to deludomol f***kwits...but hey what do we know...
Well done Billy..keep them 5 toe'd sharpshooters going..

Spot on and the reason Jimmy Greaves, Gerd Muller, Ian Rush and, in a slightly lower league, Keith Edwards aren't the highest paid coaches of all time.

"slightly"?

In the same way as Ben Nevis is slightly smaller than Everest?

I've just had my name and address tattooed on mine, just incase they go missing too!

Manys the time I've gone to bed legless, and they've both been there when I awake.

No good idea in principle. We need to build a dynasty.
Shame Deano's not involved - the real Deano - not some loan player from Manure.

I often enjoy it, when you find yourself between a pair that aren't your own!
