Billy Sharp is being chased by five clubs

[ArcticHoop]

Apparently we are not one them. It's a shame, cause loaning him until january it's not a gamble

[Hitman34]

get on shane long with an option to buy at the end of the season.

Ebanks Blake got 14 last year is 27 and a free agent surely worth a look at

Blake still recovering from his broken fibula from April I believe. Not worth going after that until he can prove his fit.

Sharp will want first team football, otherwise it's pointless him leaving Saints. Does he get in ahead of Austin and AJ? Do Harry think he gets in ahead of them? Could be why we are not in for him.

[stanistheman]

cannot see anyone really coming if they think they will be gauranteed to start.
QPR didn't pay £4M+ for Austin to put him on the bench, so anyone signing on loan can expect to have to compete with AJ, or one of the attacking midfielders to partner Austin.

Sharp would get to play quite a few games either from the start or bench.

However, I think Redknapp has other options in mind which is why AJ was given permission to speak to Palace.

[herman bloom]

I think you'd get plenty of youngsters coming in that won't be demanding a start, Carroll being an example of that. Sharp wants first team football, he knows Austin has just been signed and AJ is doing well. Compared to someone like Reading, who have publically said they want a first choice striker, we would be far from appealing for Sharp.

Harry's got someone better lined up...........Apparently he didn't pull up trees at Forest last season....pun not intended

I think he has been named in their 25.
