SUFC closing in on League 1 striker

Fully agree, it does seem many on here have disregarded the fact that Scunny apparently rejected two £300k bids for Sharp last month.

I'm not saying we haven't and I will be very happy indeed to be proved wrong, but just look at the costs overall of such a bid for our club.

Transfer fee of 500k wages say 3k per week over 3 years - 450k, comes to close on a million before you start thinking of agents fees, VAT etc.

Interesting news on Michael Bridges, several Championship clubs sniffing round - are we one of them perhaps?

Carlisle reject Bridges bid

Or is it complete b******s designed to generate a bit of interest, since Darlington are the only club to register any interest so far...?

Maybe tilson was just trying to throw everyone off the scent by saying a league 1 striker when in fact its a league 2 striker???

i agree, with tilly saying that that to me means he is definately going for sharp, as maybe a number of many players, but after the irons manager saying that he isnt standing in the way of sharp leaving, i think that sharp will be on his way over here, and if not he will definately move, unless he personally decides against it.

you know why?

because his agent was asking for money and it did actually bring a halt to proceedings. however, he wanted the move so much the agent dropped his price and the deal went ahead.

You gotta laugh haven't you...

A post from that rumours website...

SOUTHEND UNITED NEWS

My point is that just because Tilly publicly says we arent interested doesnt neccessarily mean we arent interested.

Personally I think Sharp is out of our league, however will continue to hope!

I will be so glad when we sign someone and all these people that talk b******s about who we are about to sign are silenced.
