Title: Billy Sharp at Leeds' promotion party...

Picture of Billy Sharp at Leeds United's official promotion party last night.

Should we read anything into this with regards to where he'll end up next season? :dry:

It's Billy with Gary McSheffrey.

Now this really worries me.

Sorry if this sounds like a \"my mates grannys uncles brother\" yarn but my mate's (who is a Rovers fan) Dad is a part time youth scout/coach at Leeds and he told me back in January that both Sharp and Cresswell will be Leeds players if they get promoted next season. In fact Sharp phoned Grayshon directly begging him to sign him in January, but Bates didn't want to fork out what the Blades wanted for him. At the time I took it with a pinch of salt. Now I'm not so sure.

Time will tell I guess.

Jon, that doesn't sound very likely. Sharp begging Grayson to sign him? When does that ever happen? Sounds like bullshite!

I don't disagree with you! But let's get things right here, Leeds could and probably will pay Sharp twice or thrice what we can afford. Like I said, My mate is a Rovers fan and has no need to bullshit me. Time will tell.

Absolute nonsense. As if anyone wold ring up an opposition manager 'begging' them to sign him, especially when he's in the midst of a very good loan spell with a team in a higher division.

I'm doubtful Leeds will spend the money required to sign Sharp, but this is slightly worrying. Hopefully he's just really good mates with Gary McSheffrey or whoever.

I wouldn't worry about it too much. When Donny went out after the last home game of the season there was loads of guys out that i didn't recognise, presumably mates and probably some of them footballers that i didn't know the face of, that doesn't mean that they're going to sign for Rovers does it?

However, Jon is right they could afford much more than we could and now they are in the same division, why not?

The promotion party pictures are basically lots of scantily clad women, maybe Billy just wanted a bit of action?

used to go out with someone who worked at elland road about 10 years ago and went to some of the do's

they were full of stunning women hoping to become wags

the one who went with jonathan woodgate was an 11!

they must have a club pimp  :laugh:

Seriously though - would it suprise anyone if BIlly did end up at Leeds?? They are certainly going to have some pulling power, especially now they are back in The Championship.

What are peoples general opinions of Simeon Jackson at Gillingham? Looks like he's about to bang in a transfer request there and seems to semi regularly get on the scoresheet in a relatively poor team.

I thought Billy was on holiday mulling over his options.As we were away at Swansea last Sunday surely he wouldn't have gone away until at least Tuesday,and seeing that the photo was taken on Saturday ,it must have been a short vacation.That probably explains why he hasn't got a tan in that shot. :unsure: something doesn't seem quite right here.

Could Billy be persuading McSheffery to join him at the Keepmoat?

I'm still not sure it's even him.

Just because Billy went toa party doesn't mean his is going to sign. TBH looking at the photos there werent alot of leeds players actually there. Like you said he probs friends with mcsheffrey and gone out partying it up with him.
Title: Re:Billy Sharp at Leeds' promotion party...
Post by: RoversAlias on May 10, 2010, 03:46:52 pm
I was convinced it was him after seeing the picture originally but after seeing the two together there...I'm not even sure it's him anymore.

Doesn't neccessarily mean anything anyway.

It's defintely Billy

But no need to fuss,If he was going to sign for them he be seen with their management etc when talks are done not at a party of some sort with a couple of players?Nearly all the teams have finished for the summer and the players will be going around doing their thing now,Holidays,parties,time with friends and families etc.Apart from the players we have offered new contracts too the majority of transfer/signings will be announced in june/july and even onwards.

Apparently Billy's good mates with Bromby so that might be why he was there?

So just to recap.

Norfolk N Chance's mate went clubbing to the same place as a fat nosed bloke who has teeth that are slightly different to Billy Sharp, who is on holiday at Butlins in Skegness and is being linked to Lincoln City even though his mate Gary McSheffrey is rumoured to be signing for Rovers.

I'm going to post this on transferrumours.com

No, no, no, no, Norfolk N Chance's mate went clubbing to the same place, the day after, a fat nosed bloke...

if you are going post a load of b******ks, you may as well make it an accurate load of b******ks - or something like that

BTW the bloke in the photo is wearing a Leeds Utd tie and as far as I know BS is a Sheff Utd player? I think it is Ben Parker but wouldn't swear to that, other photos here
http://www.leedsunited.com/news/20100509/paddy-cleans-up-at-awards-celebration_2247585_2047832

and apparently a tv clip, so if anyone can be arsed to watch that it might tell us

Would not suprise me one bit if Billy signed for Leeds.

I expect Leeds to go on a spree hoovering up any available talent, whilst discarding other players who they promised the world to.

Here's another one

Leeds are lining up a move for Sheffield United striker Jamie Ward as they prepare for life back in the Championship. Should Sheffield United sell Ward?

I dont think we should even care or worry about him anymore, old news, gone back to Sheffiled United, where the Cheif Executive has underlined on a number of ocassions that he is staying put, and tbh how he never scored at the lane was a huge mystery, he isnt really a footballing passing striker, as all his goals have been put on a plate tap ins, minus the bristol city goals home and away, but they werent top class passing goals, one was defenders playing chuckle brothers, and one was a counter attack finished in style, he wants to play there, the fans want him to play there and the Board want him there, only blackwell and lets face it, he isnt the most popular man at the lane :P I can't see him leaving the place he loves because we all show him some courtesy, United born, United Bred, United Heart, always, good luck billy, though I do envisage a goal against us next season B)

My Leeds supporting mates are getting cocky again saying they are gonna get Billy but just a note in today's Mirror (not the most reliable paper I know) it states that Grayson is after Jamie Ward from Blades which is interesting

Adebayor, Fabregas, Nasri, Sagna, Campbell and Clichy were all out with the Chelsea players after they won the tile, does that mean half the Arsenal Team and Adebayor are signing for Chelsea?  :)
