As excited as I am about the prospect of this (and boy am I excited), I'm trying my best to not yet be drawn into the thinking that it's done and dusted. To start dreaming about Lambert and Sharp up front together, only for it to be taken away from me due to the deal falling through, would just be gut-wrenching. I love those two blokes so much!
Decent signing lads (and Jen). Sharp, Lallana and Lambert will scare the crap out of any defense in this league
On the radio it says Billy Sharp is signing for us. The BBC website carries a story in which Dean Saunders laments the loss of his top scorer. On our OWS there is zilch, so too on The Rovers' OWS. Now I'm all for keeping things under wraps, but surely I am not alone in finding this a bit surreal?
On Adam Blackmore's Twitter he says: "What an afternoon it's turning into - Tubbs signs for #afcb, #pompey can't pay wages, and now I'm heading to #saintsfc - I wonder why......" Promising...
Evening Channon! We should all be used to this by now. It's never announced till the deal has been put to bed. We just need to be patient for a while longer!
It's a done deal then folks! I am double convinced after checking twitter. The thought of Rickie and Billy up front is amazing! What a signing!
I'm well pleased that we've signed him. But apart from the game at their place when he scored, I've never seen him play. Could someone with more knowledge than me let me know his strengths and how he will dovetail with our Rickie, please?
