    But we did buy him from a relegated side, not a side that just missed promotion.

    You sign strikers for goals and Billy has shown that he can produce plenty and at the end of the day thats what we all want.

    he will be brilliant for them, Scunny played football on deck top goal scorer, lump it blackwell goals dry up
    put him in a side like donny who pass it he would score a sackfull!
    He would link up so well with Mac or boggy we've missed a trick if they get him

    How many 'tricks' have we missed??.

    Virtually every player that signs for a ChampionshIp club would have 'done a good job for us' reading BBS... we would now have a 'slimmed down' squad of around 350 players and a wage bill to match Chelsea's - or Notts County's :D

    But Hume is miles better than Sharp

    Hume scored 4 in about 16 last season, and however many the year before in a relegated side. Sharp has got 8 in 2 seasons, and Sheffield United paid 2 million for him.

    Hume was Leicester’s top goal score for 3 years running and he played half of his games playing left mid.

    Rumours on their board...

    they had 8,500 season tickets holders last season, money from Wellens yet all John Ryan has spent is 300k on Matt Mills?

    He's scored 4 more goals than Oddjob and played 8 more games

    In a side at the top end of the table, enough said.

    Playing completely a different style of football that doesn't suit him.

    These are the kinds of players we should be looking for. We can't compete money wise so we should be looking at players that have done well previously but had a rough time at a club, young lower league players and loans from Premiership teams.

    It's probably the only way we can improve in budget...

    His record at Scunny was better than Simon Cox's record at Swindon. Everybody wanted us to sign him.

    Sharp would be a good signing, imo.
