why don't we stop looking for a striker, and start using billy sharp. really deserves a fair shot at the premiership. / could score us 10 important goals
I've had a feeling all along, that we will end up with these 2 and that talks were taking place quietly behind closed doors. slowly, slowly catchee monkey
Because he is a good championship striker, but not premiership class, he lacks pace.
The same Billy Sharp who couldn't get into the Forest starting lineup last season?
We have top 6 aspirations, as much as we owe Billy for his part in getting us up, he is nowhere near a top half prem player.
A super fit billy sharp would be a great weapon/super sub with his goal poaching abilities. Ideal for that elusive equaliser or winning goal!
He is not a premiership footballer. Yeah he's a poacher and will grab a few taps in but you don't get those chances as often in the prem. Also the fact he couldn't score against eastleigh the other day proves this
Lol. Luckily you're not the manager, if billy was good enough then he'd have gone to spain and austria. The club has european ambitions, 10 goal a season (honestly doubt he would score that many) strikers don't get you there. He was given a fair chance, he wanted to go up north to be with his family, the club did nothing wrong with him and now he's not up to the standard we need, that's why he's not in the team
Sharp in not up to the standard Potti wants to bring in. He want someone with pace and flair, and Sharp does not fit into that catagory!
He isn't an improvement on lambert, Rodriguez or mayuka
Opinions differ and we are all entitled but I just don't see him setting the premiership alight.
Not a Premier League standard striker.
People just seem to be a sucker for a son story.
He doesn't fit the system or conditioning of saints
Sorry I put a comment on the wrong post, should have been the previous post. It makes more sense then!
Why do people come out saying good job your not the manager? It's in every other thread, total bollox like any of us have got a idea of how to run Southampton fc. Makes me laugh, perfetic comes to mind!
People need to realise that many of the players who were great in the Football League are not up to top flight football. There is no room for sentiment. They know this and earn thousands a week on fixed contracts to make up for it!
Is it Billy Sharp that keeps creating this thread? Becoming tedious. He is not good enough. SHame. Move on.
BILLY SHARP IS S**TE who are these people who keep suggesting we give him a shot? if he was good enough for the prem he would have been snapped up by another prem club or a championship side DISTINCTLY AVERAGE (for the championship)
