    That isnt true. He started Wright and Derbyshire in Forward supporting roles with Cook/Oliver on occasion last season.

    Harrogate, Salford, Stevenage, Tranmere etc. From.memory we did ok in those games. Losing Wright and then Derbyshire to injury scuppered that.

    Add Lincoln, Notts County and Stockport, all around 40 miles from Sheffield.

    We played the diamond, with two up front from January to March. I think Derbyshire's first start was the Stevenage away win.

    An article in the Yorkshire Poat yesterday contemplating Sharp's future and speculating on the chances of him signing for 1 of 5 other Yorkshire club.

    Now, I know it's newspaper talk, but not one of the possible 5 Yorkshire clubs were named as us

    Rotherham, Huddersfield, Hull, Barnsley and Donny the 5 clubs mentioned..

    Interesting then that posted earlier today that a lot of Sheffield Utd fans think its a done deal to us.

    I think I tend to agree with the Yorkshire Post

    Well you can rule out Notts and Stockport as they are well covered in the forward dept and Lincoln I don’t see as it’s a bit too far out on top of being pretty tinpot

    Why do United fans think he'll come to us? Is there anything rational in it or just a load of folk who have jumped on the bandwagon?

    It seems the sheff united fans that say he's coming to us are going by one of those rumour accounts inwhich we City fans saw last week and some on here called it out for getting most rumours wrong.

    I'm assuming Fordy has already told everyone he's $hite though. (Sorry, I haven't read back through all the posts)

    All this nonsense Fordys spouts about training at a school didn't put MH or other signings off.

    It's a lovely setting down there and I interstand the facilities are very good

    I thought Stevenage would do well with the Evans factor but the others were off my radar. Doncaster seem to have gone out with a busy transfer strategy, depends if they all gel.

    Are Barnsley still financially struggling or has that blown over?
