SuperSAINT

Very pleased. (And very proud). I'm sure I saw Roy interviewed talking about Grant Holt & Rickie, saying that they aren't of the desired quality. Anyone else remember that? - I think it was from when Rickie & Holt were on Goals on Sunday.

Monk wanted us to sign him, but it wasn't based on any insider info. (As far as I can remember).

Stoch did look quality - It was just one of those random rumours though (There's been plenty of them).

Agree. What an utterly absurd idea this was.

Blast from the past... Reports in Spain suggest that Cardiff have turned their attention to Malaga’s Jesus Gamez in their pursuit of defensive reinforcements. The Bluebirds are said to have already lodged one offer, but will need to raise their bid to around €6million if a deal is to be done.

Indeed. I think I said the other day that if Napoli couldn't get the deal over the line, no-one can!

Nothing new, but it's made the SKY transfer clockwatch Leandro Damiao's agent is quoted in the Italian media, claiming that he would not consider a move to Southampton. Interest from Roma and Napoli looks to have cooled.

I'm going. Can't wait.

Reeves scores for MK Dons tonight

I doubt Damiao himself has decided anything. I bet this deal is a nightmare for anyone to get over the line. (Lets be honest, Napoli aren't skint).

Everton supposedly in for Alderweireld. http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11671/8856302/roberto-martinez-warns-fans-not-to-expect-too-much-from-gerard-deulofeu

Didn't say it was! - But this is the Billy Sharp thread.......

You forget we have Guly

I heard someone reel off a list of names that they have in their squad. They've still got some very talented players left up there.

I knew Damiao was an unlikely target - Lets move onto Lukaku instead

Whilst we all hope that striker is Damiao, I suppose it's arguable that it could be Scott Sinclair to replace Mayuka.

I'm surprised too. But pleased he's still there to toughen up & get 1st team football with Derby. Best thing for him really.

Dug this old post out. Just watched him get MotM vs Blackburn. Such a neat & tidy little player. Big future ahead of him.

More so with Mayuka leaving. Less so with Billy.

Agreed. Very informed on Burnley/Wigan/Blackburn/Bolton.

Nixon also saying Sharp is Burnley's No.1 striker target. Hard to tell if it would be permanent or a loan.

Would be a good move for him. Interesting to see how he does at that level. Imagine he'd thrive alongside Holt.

Might want to get itchen_dan to confirm, but from looking at Alan Nixon's timeline, there seems to be talk (or assumptions) about Mayuka *maybe* joining Wigan on loan.

Don't think so. It's been quiet for ages.
