Speculation Billy Sharp

[Jeff]

There's no way on earth we are a more attractive option than Fulham. He would be mad to chose us over them.

Some things are more important than football.

After recent events it will do his partner no good at all to have to move away from her family - assuming her family are near her now.

 

[Profondo Rosso]

I'm not sure him moving to Leicester would necessarily mean he could commute whereas moving to a club in London, wouldn't though. Plenty of people commute from further than Sheffield to London. Depends on what he's comfortable with, I guess, but I certainly disagree that Leicester is a more attractive package than Fulham.

Ain't that the truth.

Doncaster are trying to keep him apparantly the chairman is going to fund his wage deal.

In footballing terms, of course they are a far more attractive proposition for us. I think he's goe on record as saying he wouldn't want to move to a London club as it would involve a lot of travelling or uprooting his family. The commute would certainly be a lot easier to our place. Having said that though, I think the proposition of PL football might turn his head - he'd be a fool not to go if Fulham came in for him.

Apparently he's told Doncaster he doesn't want to leave but can't lose out financially in doing so. If true, no ambition. Move on.

 

[fosseman]

I've no enthusiasm for this or any of the other proposed signings. I just hope Nige knows what he's doing.

Believe that Wellens, Gallagher & Pearson himself all commute from "up North"

I wouldn't worry yourself about it fosseman, seemingly Billyboy has no enthusiasm for us either. He had till midday, he still hasn't signed, so he can just go and **** himself

Would be nice If Wellens and Gally forgot the way to Leicester.

 

[Graz]

Sounding like he'll probably just sign a bumper new deal with Donny.

Would be a shame, as he is a good striker. Hopefully Nige has other options lined up though. Maybe we'll go back for Maynard..

I'd normally agree but given his circumstance, I find it understandable if he wants to stay.

Simple as that. No extenuating circumstances?

Doesn't really make any difference. Move on.

But but Stringer said it was going to happen!

 

[dpjfox]

pity we cant see Stringers red face on radio or tweeter

 

[Biffa Bacon]

But but Stringer said it was going to happen!

Probably believed the tweet from Bert saying that he was signing a few days ago.

 

[Kingy_85]

Bert.... otherwise known as "CRINGE!"

Stop sucking up to the players!!!

It's getting really bad isn't it?

agree totally... move on... he'd have signed by now if he was keen.... he might have come in August... but not now ...
