Please take a chance on a young and up and coming striker instead
We need some signings of players on a longer term basis.
For that reason I agree.
I rarely agree with you on anything.
I don't think he would work here. To me he has been in a very creative talented team and not scored much over the past year. 16 in 77 isn't a great record.
We don't have the strength of depth or creative talent that United did. I therefore can't see him doing better with us.
Hell be on a decent wage and we already have a striker who refuses to score in Eaves.
Hugill, Kelly and Sharp? Sure, if Mr Eaves is shown the door. There's a real lack of a "Washington" type player there.
An up and coming striker like George Hirst who got slated while he was here while learning his trade LOL . I think Billy Sharp would be a good signing and would do us a short term job if he and Hugill can form a decent partnership . UTM
Young players like Yates?
Sharp might not be a forward thinking signing in terms of developing him but, combined with a youngster - someone they can teach a trade to might not be too bad.
Look how players move from being scorer to provider because they have the knowledge to unlock a defence with a good pass or touch and can help others step up with good runs off the shoulder etc.
Is there only me & I T S on here think young. Abit of experience yes but Sharp his best days are well gone never a championship player now. Same in the the defence Peltier Morrison Blackett Hall could be joining them too many old players there last 3 their injury record doesn't make good reading. When we're in the autumn through the winter when you've got to slug it out will tell on those players.
If MT wants him in for a short time then so be it
