Transfer Rumours January Transfer Thread

[Mckechnie Orange]

Not sure Sharp fits the style Tbh.

Might help the younger ones with experience but I can't see it happening personally.

Stands to reason that if we were at an advanced stage with Davis, then it would likely be someone with similar attributes.

I'm wondering if there's something in the Josh King link myself.

 

[Mckechnie Orange]

Only 25 isn't he?

Has experienced promotion from the championship though.

Mention of Billy Sharp, in terms of dressing room you won’t get anyone better, in terms of pushing you over the line with goals however, I think he’s way past it. Only managed 2 for the Blunts last season. Also he’s probably wanting one last pay day…

Maybe it hoping but I’m pretty confident it won’t be sharp.

If it is him, let's hope he's over his injury before we sign him

 

[Ernie Shackleton]

We're not signing Billy Sharp, he's nearly 38.

I think he's fit, just not playing.

Might take a bit of game time to get fully match sharp though.

Same as Curtis Davies and we're getting him.

The Davis linked is Keinan.

I guess, I was thinking the way it was worded it’s someone that has been promoted to the prem before so it could also be Josh King

 

[stevieg]

I can tell you it’s definitely billy sharp and it’s already done

 

[Ullofaman]

I can tell you it's definitely not Billy Idol and it's already dismissed.

 

[Amin Arrears]

I reckon it s Billy Talent.

 

[Nikica Jellyfish]

It’s Sharp, ah well.

 

[Fettis the striker]

Mike white has tweeted it is sharp he’s had it confirmed signed until the end of the season

 

[Quill]

I wanted Sharp at City for years and years.

He might be past his peak, but he's still a great finisher and is the sort of experienced player we need to only further our current crop.

Even if he barely plays, his knowledge could be massively useful for our other forwards.

There's no real downside to it as a signing.

Very bizarre signing if true!

Can't say I'm not a bit surprised, but he adds experience and knowhow, and its a low risk one 'til the end of the season.

Paying someone to train. That’s quite a downside.

He scored 2 goals in a similar role in a full season. What’s the point? Would rather take a punt on someone trying to make a name for themselves.

Perhaps coming in as a player/coach with a view to moving over to just coaching?
