rumor has it we DID show a interest but Mr sharp didnt turn up .... leading to a quick public story of us not been interested we also did MEET chopra
Didn't flicker basically confirm we'd not been in touch last week. I think wages would price us out of any move for him, im still a bit lost as to why he still hasn't got a move, because for me he's exactly what every single club in this division is looking for, a proven championship goalscorer.
Sometimes you have to analyze media discourse, and put 2 and 2 together. Its not uncommon for the media to create a headline out of nothing: 'Billy Sharp is not a Barnsley transfer target' from Flicker saying "no contact with Billy Sharp". Maybe we are interested, but have to deal with his agent first, not Billy Sharp? Or maybe he doesn't want to shout "we are interested in Billy Sharp" from the rooftops? 4 days before that was published, Radio Sheffield confirmed we had made a loan enquiry for Billy Sharp. 2 days ago Flicker said on Barnsley Player: "Agents are playing a massive part in it. Not telling their players to come out on loan at the minute, that's the crucial factor. If you do come out on loan as a player, the agent doesn't get paid, so the agents having a massive bearing on what happens in our current situation. Its just whether the player can stay at a club that hes not wanted at and then wants to come out on loan. Thats where we're at at the minute." I would suggest 'Billy Sharp is not a Barnsley transfer target' is pretty inaccurate.
