I dont think he does. His best days were with us. Might get 10 this season if he's lucky.

You think so Gaz?  If he stays fit he has a good chance to score plenty this season.  That this won't be for us is history now.

He will piss 10 goals in my opinion if he stays fit. He's probably on pens too.

I saw him a few times in L1 last season, he scored plenty but he just didn't look the same to me.

Think he will be nearer 20 than 10
Great player for us discounting the last time but he is assigned to our history

Under Dickov so it doesn't count.

Didn't he score 30 league goals last season?
I've been watching the Rovers for 50 years and he's by far the best striker I've seen playing for us. went on to prove it with other clubs as well. Alick Jeffrey was past his best when I saw him

These are adding up now Gaz!

- Everton to finish bottom half
- Sharp lucky to get ten goals all season

Everton have looked abysmal in their first two games this season. Worse than abysmal in fact.

I totally agree with you. I never saw Alick but Billy is head and shoulders above every other striker that I've seen play for us.

You can't fault Billy. I thought he might struggle with injury but he hardly missed much last season and scored plenty.

I think, like Copps, he has to play and train smarter these days. He's reaping the rewards and the love from the fans that he missed out when he was there in his first spell, and richly deserved.

He's a former player that will always command respect and a warm welcome.

Loved Billy but Peter Kitchen edges it for me, absolutely deadly inside the box.

Billy is the best i have seen for us though i would have loved to have seen Mike Jeffrey play more games for us 49 appearances 19 goals was some going in not one of our better sides. I have said it before Billy would have scored in the premier league but didn't get a proper opportunity. We unfortunately had a manager who was a former striker himself who showed no faith in him and couldn't get the best from him as he didn't with many others. When Billy lost his little lad he seemed to lose something for a long time-football means very little at times like that.

... and Kitch is my all time Fav Player but Laurie Sheffield was as deadly inside the Box

Any Keeper spilling the ball / any hit post / any scramble as LS was "in"

Sheffield was also the best header of a ball I've ever seen. Great, GREAT player.

Billy is the best finisher I have ever seen at the club. The bloke would score goals at any level no doubt about it.

Everton have looked abysmal in their first two games this season. Worse than abysmal in fact.

Although they won both their competitive games so far this season.

Agree that they need a decent, reliable goalscorer, but no way will they finish bottom half.

1 game in the championship does not say anything yet. Will struggle in this league

What it does say is that he is 10pc of the way to getting ten goals this season.

Peter Kitchen and Laurie Sheffield didn't play at the same level as Billy Sharp did with us though.
Brendon O'Callaghan was the best header of a football I've ever seen at any level. Did he go to Stoke in the top flight and finish up playing centre half for them??

End of August and this is not ageing well!

Four league goals already. Can't keep a good man down.

Interesting that Blades have lost every game he has not scored in so far - and in those games he has scored, his goals have forced the results (two mins, one draw).

It's a shame that he didn't do this in his last spell with us when we went down.

Could've been something to do with a manager who failed to get the best out of any of the long list of strikers he brought to the club.

Th point is that Billy has a long track record and can score at the higher levels. He added a sense of excitement to the team when he played for us. Marquis, Mandeville and May are all unknown at the higher levels and may lack the quality needed that Billy undeniably does have.

I think we all know that his perceived 'failiure' with us wasn't down to him.

Billy is a brilliant striker.  We were lucky to have him on our books.
