Transfer Rumour Billy Sharp (20 Viewers)

[clint van damme]

You were wrong.

Before the outcome was observed, you were both right and wrong, but this move confirms that your ITK status is, in fact, dead.

Yeah. So why are you calling it rubbish?

Because DK didn’t block it, once Godden decided to stay another couple of years the Sharpe option wasn’t needed.

How do you know he didn't block it? Are you ITK then?

 

[SBT]

Apparently the Sharp thing had some truth and DK blocked it

On what grounds? If he’s blocked it for anything other than pure financial reasons then that’s pretty problematic…

This makes sense

Financial insofar as not a good use of budget

Sharp was going to be back up, it wasn't going to be about him replacing Godden.

Who told you that your itk ?

I will ask again who told to DK blocked us signing Billy Sharpe ?

Who told you Vik was staying?

He also said Gyokeres would be staying

 

[SkyblueDad]

Who told you Vik was staying?

He did, you were convinced he was leaving at xmas and for as much as 5million quid, didn’t happen Vik stayed, we all had a happy new year, Vik and his goals got us to Wembley and the baulk of his transfer has hopefully has transformed our team, note I said our team.

Not that I even disagree with him, but who is he to say?

 

[ajsccfc]

Shame we've missed out but the Coventry King says we've got a scout in the US so we can still go in for him if he does well there.

What? Can you show me where I said that?

 

[COVKIDSNEVERQUIT]

It's official, the one that got away.

Former Sheff Utd captain Sharp joins LA Galaxy

Thank fuck for that, would have been another Waghorn.

I don't think anyone said that at Christmas.

This was a fun thread though - Season over - some absolute gems in there, one person said Hamer isn't worth more than 4 mil.

 

[Covcraig@bury]

All I know is I’m not ITK , I know this because my misses says I know fuck all , so I take her word for it does this mean she is ITK ? asking for a friend

Oh shit, I found this absolute gem in that thread. Who the fuck is this genius?

So the owner knows better than Robins and the recruitment team if a player is worth the money?

I could understand if we just straight up couldn’t afford him, but it’s Billy Sharp.

Not the same person that told you Gyokeres was signing a new contract

Mark I'm giving you a decent budget for once but we'd like it to be spent on playing assets that, at the very least, are likely to retain their value.

Pretty easy conversation really.

[Brighton Sky Blue]

The one signing the cheques.

I get your point. He shouldn't meddle in football related activities, etc. but how do we know he wasn't thinking that if Sharp was the standard of player we could get for the money available he didn't think to himself, "fuck that" and increased the budget? I can get on board with that type of meddling.

Sent from my SM-G990B using Tapatalk

He probably envisioned another Waghorn

I get it, but ultimately I think Robins has a better idea than Doug on how to build a squad and has earned a degree of autonomy that shouldn’t be taken away over a small fry signing like this one.

I know what you're saying but I'd imagine Robins got over not being allowed to get fat Billy pretty quickly when King sanctioned the signings of Simms and Wright for several million pounds.

Bearing in mind Doug hadn’t seen a game of football for about 10 years before taking us over, I’m calling bullshit that he blocked a move for a player he’d probably never heard of.

My source for the Billy Sharp one is the same source as the Hamer sale. It's not for footballing reasons just commercial ones.

Commercial ones? Surely the commercial implications of buying/not buying Billy Sharp are almost non-existent.
