Billy Sharp - turned down Sunderland

[Russ]

Great news that Billy turned down a move to Sunderland to stay at his beloved Blades and battle for the team. That’s the spirit Bill. Thanks

 

[LoughboroBlade]

He can add the Dane Whitehouse Badge Of Loyalty to his already substantial list of club honours.

 

[DronnieBlade]

And this is a positive ?

The FACT that the current manager appears to think so little of him, so hugely wide of the actual mark of where his status within the club should more accurately place the fella, is, bluntly, embarrassing.

Same people who slate Billy every time he scores will be the same cunts who constantly whine about the lack of loyalty in modern football.

What ?

 

[LoughboroBlade]

The FACT that the current manager appears to think so little of him

Playing him today, continuing to make him captain whenever he’s on the pitch, stating he was really pleased to see he wants to stay, clearly indicates he does still value him.

Who has slated him today?

 

[DronnieBlade]

What ?

How did I get here ?

[Ricky]

It's not like we will have an accepted an offer for him, but why Wilder would even ask him if he wanted the move given our striker shortage I don't know. Hopefully he didn't even do that.

Yeah but apart from all that it’s a FACT that he thinks so little of him

Don’t kid yourself.

3rd Choice striker as things stand out of a selection pot of 3.
Embarrasing.

He was 1st or 2nd choice today

 

[DronnieBlade]

He was 1st or 2nd choice today

He’s played 80-85 minutes total thus far.

Which ranks as our 3rd choice, as things stand.

Go on, who slates Billy when he scores?

Oh.

Bravo.

Let me test the water, once again. Not necessarily just with you LJB.

Of the other 91 clubs in the top four divisions,and from a pool of the 3 that we have, namely Leon, Billy and McG, how many other clubs place Billy in this selection in 3rd place ?

Playing 3rd fiddle to both Leon and McG ?

I’ll venture my educated guess.

Zero. Precisely zero.

0/91. Nada. Squat.

I’d ask you,and a wide selection of others, to consider precisely why this might be !!

[YES Blade]

Don’t worry Assombalonga is signing next week

It's meritocracy

 

[DronnieBlade]

It's meritocracy

What it is, in no uncertain terms, is plain vanilla wrong.

[pommpey]

Hmmm.

Sunderland = Div 1 = circa £7k pw

SUFC = Champ = circa £12k pw

Tough choice

[raul]

Noticeable at the end of the game how CW threw his arms around Bill and pushed him towards us only to be dashed off like it's nutin.

Heroes divided

You seem to be missing something, he wasn’t playing 3rd fiddle today.

 

[Bladesman]

Get rid of the shitehouse. Goals alone are just not good enough.

I was just saying to a mate today; “There’s a lack of loyalty in modern football”.

And this is from a sample size of 3 out of 46 games.

We have only played 3 games !!!!!!!!!

Oh dear.

Which broadly translates as see me in May

pommpey

In fairness Pommpey, I would make a fairly confident guess that a large proportion of the Sunderland first team squad are on more than what Billy is earning here. I think it likely they would have at the very least matched what we are giving him.

 

[oldblade]

We have only played 3 games !!!!!!!!!

Oh dear.

UTB

Yes. 3 out of 46. Lets see how much playing time he has had when we have played a few more of those 46 games.

There is virtually a whole season ahead of us. Selections will change during the season. I would have that was an easy enough point to grasp.

If he was good enough to be starting he would be
Why would the manager leave him out if he was his best striker
