    The only way that happens is if we go 3 at the back which isn't impossible but offering Ridehalgh a new deal doesn't really fit with that theory if we believe Sparks "lean and mean" speech.

    Leaner , means a smaller squad , don't know where the meaner part will come from .maybe they will be taken on an army assault course like was done years ago .

    He'll not join us, Hughes is far too negative for the likes of Sharpe.
    We've already got the one attacking spot filled, and I doubt Billy would want to be in his own box defending every corner and free-kick we concede. He'll go to an ambitious club

    Just don't see it happening simply because he could get another championship club.

    Doubt he wants to be sitting on the bench at 37.

    I doubt he would. Plenty of clubs in the Championship would take him on. He's a proven scorer with an excellent pedigree at that level. A club like Rotherham could take him to boost their survival chances next season and give him another year of earning a decent wage before he finally hangs up his boots

    As far-fetched, unrealistic and repetitive it is, we’ve lost Clayton who was an experienced and influential squad member. His impact from Jan up until his injury helped us secure the payoff spot. Sharp would bring this same influence to the squad, plus other on field benefits.

    ……..however it ain’t gonna happen!! That said it’s good this rumour has started early this season! No pre-season would be complete without it.

    Hang on, people were saying yesterday he was past it, geriatric, slow and too old, yet others suggest he’d easily slot into the CC with another club.

    Football supporters eh?

    I just think he'd command at least a one year contract with a lower end CC club or a League 1 club on a decent wage as a final pay day.

    At 37 his options won’t be that great

    Its called a difference of opinion. Surely that concept hasn't passed you by on this forum.

    Why do they vary so wildly, that’s the point! Perhaps you could explain that concept ?

    I think he’ll be off to Saudi Arabia, I hear they’re pretty generous with contracts for over the hill type players.

    I heard from an undisclosed source that John Spicer has embarked on a new career. With his wealth of personal involvement in transfer rumours, he's become a player's agent. Can you guess which player at Bramall Lane is coincidently now one of his clients?

    I understand negotiations are ongoing. Sharp is looking for a two year contract but City are insisting on three years..........
