Post by: Draytonian III on December 30, 2018, 10:17:57 pm: Why is it “poor by Sharp “
Title: Re: Tyler Smith
Post by: RedJ on December 30, 2018, 10:19:26 pm: Shouldn't really be basically announcing it like that before the clubs have, he'll know loads of Rovers fans will still follow him.

Post by: Alan Southstand on December 30, 2018, 10:19:48 pm: He may be doing a bit of leg pulling, but from that reaction by Gazlaz, I assume he must be right? Or was Gazlaz doing a wind-up?

Post by: kieranDRFC on December 30, 2018, 10:21:15 pm: Don't see it being a problem myself.. We already knew we were signing a striker.. I'd heard his name mentioned before aswell.
Title: Re: Tyler Smith
Post by: RoversAlias on December 30, 2018, 10:25:06 pm: It;s basically a badly kept secret already, I see no harm in it from Sharp really.
Title: Re: Tyler Smith
Post by: Alan Southstand on December 30, 2018, 10:26:55 pm: It's been on social media for quite some time - I was told at our last home game!

Well no but still, he should know better than to talk about it until it's official.

That pretty much proves my point.

Post by: arkseyrover on December 31, 2018, 10:58:23 am: What does it matter! If he's signed why not just announce it. Can't understand the need for secrecy
Title: Re: Tyler Smith
Post by: Chris Black come back on December 31, 2018, 11:10:22 am: DFP suggesting today it will not be confirmed until Thursday. The lad is around the Blades XI at moment so perhaps they don’t want him to go until they have done all their own business?

There's always a good reason and invariably, it's not to piss fans off. We have to accept the club does things in an appropriate professional manner.

Who was the last young striker from Sheffield Utd to score 9-10 goals in 5 months in the National League as a 19 year old, then move to a League 1 side?

King Billy was on loan at Rushden before moving to Scunthorpe wasn't he?
