cambridgeshire canary 6,721 Posted July 10, 2023 Christ isn't he about 40? Already got people mocking us for signing OAP's.. Then again arguably one of the best strikers the championship has ever seen next to Pukki, no doubt about it 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Capt. Pants 4,236 Posted July 10, 2023 He's 38!! Seems Coventry are interested. If I was a fan of theirs I might feel slightly dispondent at this point with Gyokeres going. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Creedence Clearwater Couto 1,273 Posted July 11, 2023 The only advantage of signing Billy Sharp, is that he won’t be able to score against us. Although, as I type that, I’m sure we’d still find a way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BroadstairsR 2,172 Posted July 11, 2023 (edited) We have acquired our fair share of ageing pros, bought in for a purpose. By all accounts the reason for getting them on the books has been fulfilled. Time to revert to Plan A. I'm one of those who is emphatic about our need for a.n. other striker though. If our own products are considered unready then a young promising goal-getter from the lower leagues or abroad, even a loanee from the PL. Somebody to get excited about and to abate fears about some of the question marks against our current three when it comes to hitting the net on a regular basis. Of course, it might not come off, but it would, imo, be better than relying on the current precarious status quo. If did come off then we could have a valuable asset on our hands. Coventry has spent a fortune on a promising youngster, whilst the binners are obsessed about George Hirst from Leicester. We cannot, it seems, spend the fortunes required for even unproven players on Premier League books, so it needs to be up to our scouting prowess to unearth a gem. Wishful thinking, but better than nothing being done to address shortcomings in this most vital of areas. Edited July 11, 2023 by BroadstairsR Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
