Scunny scouting report

[Fez of Mahrez]

Going to see the mighty Billy Sharp in action tomorrow afternoon. Northampton are safe and I got my ticket for a tenner so I'm going to keep an eye on him all game instead of following the ball. Will report back.

[Flynny]

Goal for him.

[Guest Gist]

He won't come here anyway, we will be swapping leagues next season

[Fez of Mahrez]

Decent finish for the goal, made a run across the defender to the near post and sidefooted a low cross into the corner of the net.

Didn't do a lot else. I noticed after he scored he was gesturing at the home fans and then straight after the restart he put in a bit of a nasty tackle, think he got booked. He basically lost it for a second.

His movement off the ball is decent but it's always away from the ball so the pass has to be perfect. Scunny really weren't on their game today so the passes weren't reaching him. He's got a really good touch though, reminds me a little bit of Fryatt but much quicker. Lacks a bit of body strength though.

Would score 20+ in the Championship easy.

Good report Fez

But the questions were all asking is:

1) how much will he be available for?

2) How many will he score in the Prem?

I reckon it would take a good £2.5million to get him now. Bit of a crazy price. As for the Prem, difficult to say really. I watch a lot of Championship and League One football and I agree with most people when they say he could make the step up easily but the Premiership is a whole different kettle of fish. Elvis Hammond would get 15 goals in League One.

[Milky]

I said on here we should have signed sharp last summer. bastards.

[JoeyB]

Fez you and Thracian should become scouts for leicester

[Brainy]

I can't see 2.5m. I know you watched him today but smaller clubs like S****horpe usually settle for fee's like 500k-1m.

But if hes better, then maybe a higher fee.

[Milky]

why would sharp want to move from the championship to league 1

[Fez of Mahrez]

But if hes better, then maybe a higher fee.

Not a prayer he'll go for less than £1.5million. Virtually guaranteed themselves Championship football next season and they've already sold Keogh.

If Southend can turn down over a million for Eastwood then Scunny can certainly do the same with Sharp.

Steve Howard cost Derby around £1million and he's a lot older than Sharp.

Sounds promising but unless Leicester get proper creative talent in midfield, the section in bold worries me that if we were lucky enough to bag him, he will not get the goals.

[Joe.]

I would love to see Billy Sharp here next season. He's a natural goal scorer and has achieved it regularly now for Scunny.

Should they go up, he might not want to join us but I doubt that

We'll have the money, it's just a case of S****horpe accepting a bid which is highyl unlikely seeing as they've already rejected Premiership offers.

[lildave3]

We won't sign him.

[Tommeh]

If we sign him my next home shirt will read

SHARP

8

Really hope he comes I certainly think hes one of our more realistic targets.

[The People's Hero]

Fairly confident we would be able to get Sharp and the Gillingham lad if we really fancied them.

I suppose much will depend on who eventually comes in as boss.

[Tevez]

Didnt Northampton score from a corner?

[Manwell Pablo]

20 Championship goals

Bit of a statement.

[potter3]

If we sign him my next home shirt will read

SHARP

8

Really hope he comes I certainly think hes one of our more realistic targets.

And if he's number 10...?

[Master Fox]

I was looking forward to playing Scunny in league 1 next season, it's just a shame they will be swapping places with us.

[Tommeh]

And if he's number 10...?

He'll be 8, I know these things, It's not as if yeates will retain tht number is it?

[potter3]

Depends on whether Kelly is in charge <_<

[Manwell Pablo]

He'll be 8, I know these things, It's not as if yeates will retain tht number is it?

He wont because he's not coming here!
