Sharp to hit 50?

[I should coco]

Wikipedia is wrong. Flo scored 9. There's an actual fact for you.

That's what the EPL site says too, so please accept my apologies.

The majority of double figure scorers have been sold within a season. I make it 16 out of 27 (counting Deane twice). Others went to new clubs for other reasons in the same time frame..

You are now talking about a 'majority' when previous you said 'all' which I disproved and you are yet to acknowledge.

Are you saying these sales have been "good business"?

Of course I'm not, but your first post didn't ask that question.

You went off on one about how we had sold all our double digit scorers which is blatantly untrue.

I didn't say all. I said usually. Check my post again.

If I'd said all, you'd be right. I didn't.

Billy hat trick toneet and he'll be on 51 then

Looking forrad to witnessing it

He reached 50 in all competitions on Boxing Day:



He is currently on 49 league goals for us, he's on 54 overall.

8 more goals and he has 200 career goals - not many strikers get to that figure.

He must be in our top 30 all time goal scorers now I would think, I'd have to check.

He's only gone and done it!

Nice rant but the following have all scored double figures since 1993. Some were released obviously, as you wouldn't expect 40 and 50 year olds to still be in the squad, but AFAIA none were sold on:

Flo
Veart
Katchuro
Taylor
Lester
Gray
Webber
Shipperley
Cresswell
Williamson
Evans
Kitson

Gray was sold to Sunderland in our promotion season.

I make him 28th above Agana who scored 52.

If you go here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Sheffield_United_F.C._players#List_of_players and sort by goals that gives you the above list.

That is only player that have played more than 100 games for us. But, has any player scored 50+ in less than 10 games?

Chuffin' ell! I've been watching United since 1970 and only seen 8 of the above (Missed Mick Jones).

It does't seem like too much to ask. A decent srtiker should get about 15-20 per season so anyone here for 3 years should beat 50.

It makes you realise how many 'non-decent' strikers we have had in the last 30 years and also backs up Revolution's point, that anyone half decent hasn't lasted very long.

I'm 54 this year and it makes me wonder if I'll see anyone get near Sharp (who I hope will make 100).

I'm not sure even Messi/ronaldo/saurez/Pele/maradonna could have averaged over 5 goals per game
