Beckford is a name that keeps coming up??

I wish donny.He'd be superbly suited to how we play but too much wages and cloughy has this thing about good attitudes and no matter how good they are if the attitude aint right then cloughy aint going to have them, but me for one would love him here,we can dream can't we?

Consider this.

If Sharp was to sign for any competitive L1 side, what would his price be to finish top scorer in the division ? Very short I would suggest.

Just remind me again what UTD are in need of ........

And I for one would be more than happy to bet against him.

A pacey forward, who is able to play on the counter attack as a lone striker. One who can run the channels, go in behind or hold the ball while our wingers overlap on the counter. Someone who is decent in the air if needed, but pace, the ability to link up play and comfortable to play upfront on his own when needed is imperative given our style from last season.

You got someone in mind?

Where is it "written" that these are the requirements ?

Does Lyle Taylor tick most of these boxes ?

Does Sharp ?

My point is this.

There WILL be championship interest / offers for his signature, of that there is no doubt. Clubs who can offer him Championship football and a bigger salary. I have no doubt that Adkins will be sniffing now that A L F has departed. There will be others.

As such Sharp would be a major coup for ANY L1 team. He has close to 150 career goals and will no doubt finish with 200+. How many strikers can say that ??

My personal opinion is that Sharp is a bespoke solution for our requirements right now and I also believe that Clough is of the same opinion. Pace over 5 yards is all that is needed. Which is to say speed of mind rather than speed of legs. Billy has proved his worth in this area time and time again.

Pace is great but not essential for an out and out CF. The running can be done around the CF that creates the panic and the space behind. What you do need is someone to "finish it off".

More important, if all of the Ched stuff is true, then the prospect of an Evans and Sharp front 2 is, potentially, as potent a strike force as we have had since the halcyon days of Deane and Agana. Would tear L1 a new one IMHO and might just be good for as many as 40-50 goals in this division.

Now THAT would get us promoted.

If sharp was not an ex blade I doubt u would be saying that

His record in the recent past is dire, if he was not good enough to help donnie get relegated, he is not good enough for us!
Slow
Always offside
Apparent disruptive influence
Never seems to set anything up for anyone else

Do not want him

 

[Grecian2000]

I like the sound of this Ronnie Egg fella. What's his goals per game ratio like?

Now that dear boy is absolute tosh.

IMHO.

 

[wizadry]

Were not getting him anyway as dronnie blade as allready said about adkins,i'd just like to tell you he's allmost certainly going to end up there now.

Sounds a bit like Scougal to me.

 

[blader]

Look back through the

I just think he's a good all round player who works hard and would fit into cloughy ethos

Sky Sports understands a number ofChampionship clubs are tracking Leyton Orient forward David Mooney. The likes of Mooney's former club Reading andIpswich are thought to be keeping tabs on the Irishman, who scored 21 goals for Orient last season.

That's another to bite the dust then. Options running out!

 

[blade too long]

stark fact is since signing for SOUTHAMPTON IN JAN 2012 Billy has scored 25 goals, in 2 and a half seasons
or 10 goals a season

its not that prolific, and wether he was played in the right position or not , if your good enough , you score and his record with us was worse than Porters ratio, and you could argue Porter never got a run in the side to balance the debate

Sharp has been playing in the Premiership & Championship. He would be a far better option than Porter. We've already seen that Porter is not good enough to start games, even in League 1 - he's much more effective as a late sub.

 

[Berkshire Blade]

More than any other position strikers are form players. Which is why Billy Sharp or someone in prison for 2 years do not excite me for pure football reasons yet alone any others.

 

[blade too long]

Sharps not scored.if most have been championship games .that is surely a level .if he was any good he would score more in that league.or are you condoning him not improving or showing he has the ability

 

[Kenilworth]

Pah. If they had any ambition they would go for that Joel Campbell feller. He'd do for me

I've watched Brasil twice in this tourno SEB and can tell you that he hasn't been on the pitch

When lawrenson said,"someone's told fred to warm up he's coming off"i thought that was absolutely brilliant.

never thought I'd see a performance that made me think, "That Craig Beattie wasn't that bad!"
