KelvinsRightGlove Posted 24 September, 2013 Share Posted 24 September, 2013 Guy in the office is a Reading fan. He reckons a lot of the hold up is over dates. Loans can only be for 3 months outside the Transfer Window, so they want to make sure he is available for the xmas fixtures, apparently - so may happen later in the week. This is according to their version of TSW he frequents. So could be complete rubbish, like a lot of the stuff on here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scummer Posted 24 September, 2013 Share Posted 24 September, 2013 Sharps mysterious apology on Twtter last night http://www.readingchronicle.co.uk/sport/readingfc/articles/2013/09/24/93409-sharp-no-closer-to-reading-fc-move/ What mysterious apology? Only thing I can see is when he praised Orient for winning 7 out of 7, then corrected himself and apologised because it's 8 out of 8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The most he can do is a 90 day loan I think so they would want it to cover the Xmas period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The9 Posted 24 September, 2013 Share Posted 24 September, 2013 Logical that the loan delay would happen, if it's a season long loan it can only be terminated in Transfer Windows - but as it hasn't happened in a Transfer Window it's classed as an emergency loan which have a 3 month limit (as mentioned above). We've had a few of these kind of weird delays before when making/providing loans in order to maximise the number of games from the loan period (mostly in Championship pre-takeover), though no names immediately spring to mind.

ART Posted 25 September, 2013 Share Posted 25 September, 2013 Guess the delay is because they're waiting for the end of the month so the end of the loan comes at the start of the next transfer window. Could be Reading have offered to buy Sharp if the loan is a success and they're right up there with a chance of promotion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cascadia Saint Posted 4 December, 2013 Share Posted 4 December, 2013 Why is this resurrected? We know all about Billy Sharp's good and bad points, and he helped us get promoted.

Saint Charlie Posted 21 December, 2013 Share Posted 21 December, 2013 The quality of his Saints teammates back then has really showed in his two loan spells. We had some PL players playing in the Championship and playing with the quality of Lambert & Lallana in the Championship must be great for a striker.

SuperMikey Posted 21 December, 2013 Share Posted 21 December, 2013 I don't think Sharp is PL standard but we should leave him alone as he is a decent man and still a Saint Nothing against him as a player or a person. In fact, I really admire him - to go through what he's been through and come out the other side stronger is amazing. As a footballer though he has his limitations, and I don't think his move to us has helped in that respect. He is now a big money signing for a club at his level to make due to the wages he's on with us and the amount we would expect to receive as a transfer fee from the club that buys him. In order to spend £1.5m+ in fees and 20k a week on a striker at Championship level, he has to be a sure thing (for most clubs, at least). He had a great scoring record with us in the Championship, but hasn't illustrated that at either Forest or Reading. Until he starts scoring again, I don't think clubs will be queuing up to sign him - which is the problem we had with trying to shift him in the summer.
