BBC RS understands that #barnsleyfc have made an enquiry about signing Southampton striker Billy Sharp. It's believed for a loan deal. Title should obviously say Radio!!!!!
Nick Powell rumour on one of sites that we had deal lined up but Watford have come in at last minute so deal off. Sharp might be plan B. Also, now looking at loan deals? Hmmmm....
Re: Nick Powell No problem whatsoever with us looking at a loan deal for a striker whos wages might be out of our reach. Just common sense.
Re: Nick Powell I think it's understandable that the club are looking for a loan deal on a striker. Let's be honest, every club in the country could do with a goalscoring centre forward. There's not many about and those that are don't come cheap. I'm fully in favour of the clubs policy of signing permanent deals for the bulk of the squad, best way to ensure loyalty and it's financially more sensible. However, when it comes to the 'cherry on the top', someone who can bring a few goals and maybe lift us to mid table and upwards I don't think a hungry Prem forward keen to impress is a bad way to go.
Understand it and no problem with it just seems to fly against the rhetoric that had been given out about going for permanent signings not loans.
Completely agree just feel the last few Prem striker loan signings have been a disaster, hope Flitcroft/Mansford has more luck this time.
Re: Completely agree He'd be a brilliant loan signing. We'd still have people on here whinging about it if it happened though. He's fat, he's played for Donny blah blah blah.
Re: Completely agree not liking the fact this has got out before the club announced it. points to it not happening imo. right player if we sign him .
Would be an amazing signing and I'd love it to happen.... BUT I think a richer club will be in for him and he seems to hate us for some reason
Can't see it happening but would love it to do so. He would be the final piece in the jigsaw in my opinion.
Re: Nick Powell Powell or Sharp would be as good as we could wish for, cant see either happening though.
Just something in passing that we've asked about him. Source is normally **** hot when it comes to mr sharp
