they're going to sign Mladen Petric who's a free agent.

This is how the team should be if all are fully fit but I get the feeling that MP will play Fonte instead of Maya and will want to use JWP somewhere or other in the starting line up.

Good win for the Iggles last night, pity Vick got a bit banged up though, could have thrown for 400. Still impressive running game was a decent change from the Reid epoque.

2000 was their initial allocation rising to 3100 but it's on TV at 4 on a Sunday so I'd guess they'll stick at 2000

so still 1-0, Shaw taking corners and Zaha booked.

don't seem to be any

England 1 down after 15 minutes, from a free kick I think, Stones the culprit for the foul.

Osvaldo is an Italian for WP purposes.

Barnard is a surplus to requirements League 1 striker though. Surely there must be some club that will take him off our hands. as for Chung I'd hope I'm wrong but it could be that we've been made to include him and give him a number. Don't forget we told a WP tribunal that he was a player of exceptional talent...We can't loan him in Britain out without his new club reapplying for a permit apparently.

sometimes Charlie it's not just a case of whether you're good enough or not, there are underlying reasons. I've just been reading the Real president's comments on why they let Ozil go, if I were a Gunners fans I'd be worried about getting some return for our 50 million euros. Not that it's anything to do with Sharp of course but it will make juicy reading once the Sun and Star get hold of it.

Because Hammond seems to get decent loans fairly easily, Brighton and now Leicester, perhaps he's less costly than Sharp but he seems to enjoy a better status than him anyway. Sharp is vastly overated as we saw with his season at Forest last year. 39 games I think 10 goals of which I think 4 were penalties.

Roger Hunt

wasn't that a false twitter wind-up though?

but the possibilities are extremely limited, he's reportedly receiving nigh on 4 times the average Championship salary and I think they have some sort of new FFP agreement in place as well. Think we might be stuck with him for a while.

No doubt but I still think we'll end up paying a fair whack of his stipend ourselves. He really wasn't great at Forest last season and he seems to be a bit choosy geographically where he's based.

Recent press articles would lead us to believe that Sharp is earning (well getting anyway) 18000£ per week.

perhaps not, if you have enough time on your hands you can scour football websites all day and all night and you'd probably pick up some snippets of accurate('ish) information a few hours before the rest of the world in general.

If only he could score every game for us as well, there I'd have no problem whatsoever. Lambert has had a couple of disappointing games for Saints of late. He's also had a couple of great games for England. Perhaps it's just Saints that aren't good enough for Lambert eh. Then again if you stick Sunderland's defence across the back for Moldova perhaps scoring and assisting wouldn't be so easy.

In fact the "regime" will probably pile all of their stategic sights high with opposition prisoners and civils and then go on and on and on about how many civilians the US have killed with their Cruise strikes.

Hah Palace, the side who've signed players this very summer and then not included them in their 25 man squad for the first 4 months of the PL campaign. Ask Steven Dobbie if moving to Palace was a good idea cos he's now in exactly the same situation as Billy Sharp, a cast off who can only be loaned out in a lower division.

So then before he was cast aside by Adkins and loaned out to Forest? Well as at that time he was part of our group and was a sub at Citeh there's nothing surprising there then is there. I mean we've turned down offers from 2 or 3 clubs for Morgan this season, doesn't mean we're restricting his trade.

There was an interview with Sharp's agent, published pretty much everywhere that talks about football, towards the beginning of August. He certainly doesn't say anything about any PL club offer and if I recall correctly at that time we'd just had an offer from Doncaster. Then there was the Celtic rumour but obviously nothing came of that. I really do think that the EPL club offer is just a figment of someone's imagination.

Penalties, and SRL takes the penalties for Saints.

PL defenders don't allow the only sort of chance that Sharp scores from. Look at his "first" goal for the club, he didn't even score it, it was an own goal by a Burnley defender. With all the video analysis and GPS data it was just clear to the staff that Sharp would never be good enough for the PL.

he's not consistent enough to be an international cricketer.
