Ram-Alf Posted July 9, 2023 Share Posted July 9, 2023 Makes me wonder how or even why DCFC fans think PW would sign Sharpe, Sharpe's on record for his dislike of Derby fans...good striker tho he is...he would be a little tricky to calm down when sections of the crowd would greet him with a song or 2 concerning his private life. But as a well known pundit once said..."Footballs a funny old game" Tamworthram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chester40 Posted July 9, 2023 Share Posted July 9, 2023 Couldn't give 2 figs about what he's said about us. Scoring 3 goals last season and being 37... I do mind. Rev, nogbad van 50, Anon and 3 others 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dartmouth Ram Posted July 9, 2023 Author Share Posted July 9, 2023 Nothing against the bloke but he's far too old for me. Given that we've now got Collins and Washington both in their 30's we should now be looking for forwards in that 23-28 age range that's been talked about. Sam Smith all day long for me and possibly Lee Bonis although the latter is an admittedly a gamble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Godden\ Sharp/neither Whole story seems to suggest Godden is second option but in my opinion I’d prefer him. Not for anything Sharp has done wrong but because he’s younger and more mobile. Billy Sharp guaranteed as over the hill at 37. Godden is 31. Godden seasonal stats: 2022/23 scored 8 goals 2021/22 scored 12 goals 2020/21 scored 6 goals 2019/20 scored 15 goals 2018/19 scored 18 goals 2017/18 scored 14 goals. Many of these were scored at championship level. I would be very happy if the club signs godden.

Day Posted July 9, 2023 Share Posted July 9, 2023 If Paul Warne wants to sign him. If Billy wants to sign for us. If a deal could be agreed for just a year deal. I would be happy. Not interested what's been said in the past, it's the past and it was said as a Sheffield United/Nottingham Forest player, if he joined Derby he would be a Derby County player. Wasn't Paul Warne publicly disappointed that Sheffield Wednesday were relegated instead of us? Now if he went full Billy Davies and said after scoring a hat trick for us he would prefer it to have been for Forest, then yeah we will have issues. He's not someone that will be able to play 90 minutes twice a week, he could however play a part and give us a genuine goal threat and allow us to save money for the Championship where we will be in a better position to find a goalscorer that we can build an attack round.

Yep that’s my worry , if he’s here but his heart is not really in it ,does he train properly,? does he give everything ? I’ve no problem with him but it’s clear some of our fans have and he has a problem with some of our fans , there’s been bad blad so why take the risk at his age and stage of his career, too easy to turn into a mess 🤷🏻♂️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donnyram Posted July 9, 2023 Share Posted July 9, 2023 He’s a goal scorer, we need a goal scorer, Warne hinted we may need to go over the 32 year old bracket to find a genuine prolific goal scorer. If he comes, great, he’d undoubtedly be an asset. That said, I can’t see it happening Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rample Posted July 9, 2023 Share Posted July 9, 2023 I can't see any out of us, Hull and Coventry wanting Sharpe really. Not sure he'd pass Warne's criteria even if. It does go on to say Rotherham have already held talks. Local to him, and ironically they might need an extra body after we poached Washington. I'd have thought he'd struggle to get picked up by a league one side in honesty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd have predicted something like player-coach at Doncaster. The things alleged to have been said/written about him/his family were horrendous but even if a majority of fans would welcome him at PP, I don't see how he moves past the negativity he obviously has towards the club and the things he's said since. So it's a non-starter for me, which is fine, because I'd rather take a chance on a League 2/non-league goalscorer than an elder statesman who doesn't seem to fit the Warne profile anyway.

JuanFloEvraTheCocu'sNesta Posted July 9, 2023 Share Posted July 9, 2023 There isn't a single element of this transfer that makes any sense whatsoever. He's too old. Recent goalscoring record isn't good enough. He hates our fans. Our fans dont like him much either. Not a Warne type player, at least not at his age. It just doesn't make sense.

He's an arrogant twit. https://www.warrington-worldwide.co.uk/2021/11/30/mohammed-salah-why-elite-strikers-need-to-be-selfish/ I didn't write the following, but i accept the articles view ... Great strikers are often considered selfish because they need to be focused on scoring goals and winning games for their team. Here are some reasons why great strikers are often seen as selfish: Yearning for glory: Strikers are often the heroes of the game, and the largest slice of glory is reserved for the goalscorer. To consistently deliver the volumes of goals required at the highest level, strikers need to be ambitious and self-centered. Responsibility to score: As a striker, it's your job to score goals and win games for your team. This means that strikers need to be focused on taking shots and opportunities for themselves, rather than always passing the ball to their teammates. Motivation to win: Strikers are often motivated by personal accolades, such as winning the Golden Boot, which is awarded to the top scorer in a league. This can lead to a selfish mindset, where strikers are focused on scoring as many goals as possible to win the award. Pressure to perform: Strikers are often under a lot of pressure to perform, as they are expected to score goals and win games for their team. This pressure can lead to a selfish mindset, where strikers are focused on their own performance rather than the team's performance. Overall, while great strikers may be seen as selfish, their focus on scoring goals and winning games is essential to the success of their team.

YouRams Posted July 9, 2023 Share Posted July 9, 2023 This will be his agent trying to get him one last decent pay cheque from a L1 club, dropping our name out there to squeeze a few more £ out of someone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
