Look Sharp

Looks like Billy Sharp is heading to St Mary's

All football media outlets (apart from Saints official site) are saying that Billy Sharp is at St mary's now and subject to a medical will be signing later today, this is great news for Saints fans, in that he will hopefully be the foil up front we need to get our season back on track.

But its not just the signing of Sharp and putting him in the team, it would be the knock on effect throughout the side, it would enable us to put Guly back into the right side of midfield where he was so effective earlier in the season, if we do that it will restore some much needed balance to the side, not only that though it will also allow Tadanari Lee to be given a chance to aclimatise and be used sparingly rather than thrown in at the deep end.

All in all the type of signing that will excite Saints supporters, another piece in the jigsaw, all we need now is to get in an experienced central defender although latest reports suggest Danny Collins cant agree terms, however the same thing was said about harp a few weeks back.

Norwich Awaydaze
We visit Norwich City on Tuesday, and kick off is at 7.45pm. You’ll find Carrow Road less than a mile to the south-east of the city centre. It’s not the main game on Sky that night, but some of their packages will include the option to watch the game live.

Leeds cruise to comfortable win over Coventry
Leeds totally dominated this game against a lacklustre Coventry City, and if anything should have won more comfortably. It now looks like the team is coming together, though there will be tougher tests in the weeks to come.

Leeds United announce exciting plans to expand Elland Road
The 49ers have been promising to redevelop our beloved stadium ever since they started to invest in the club, and today they have finally published some further details of what it’s all going to involve.

Leeds get back on track against woeful Cardiff
After last week’s defeat, Daniel Farke must have been thankful that the fixture list gave us the division’s bottom team as our next opponents. But although we got the win we needed, it was against a desperately poor Cardiff City who had to play with ten men for over an hour, and somehow it felt strangely unconvincing.

Cardiff Awaydaze
This season’s visit to Cardiff City is on Saturday with a 3pm kick-off, and you’ll find their current stadium to the west of the city centre, only a quarter of a mile from their former home at Ninian Park.

Leeds suffer frustrating defeat at the hands of Burnley
Once again Leeds dominated the possession but couldn’t find their way past a determined and well-organised defence. So it was Burnley who took the points after taking advantage of one of the few occasions when they were able to break downfield.

Leeds pay tribute to former captain Sol Bamba
Sol Bamba passed away on Saturday at the tragically early age of 39. The tribute on the club’s official website was one of many, as the football world paid it’s respects to a defender who was highly regarded by everyone in the game who came into contact with him.

Patient Leeds overcome Hull with strong second half performance
At half-time this game was well and truly in the balance, and Hull City had enjoyed some moments in the first half. But once Leeds had opened the scoring in the second they had no response, and it was comfortable for Leeds in the end.

Leeds get one deal over the line as Tanaka arrives at Elland Road
The club’s official website announced the signing of Japanese international Ao Tanaka from Fortuna Dusseldorf today, though it remains to be seen whether we will land any more of our targets before the 11pm deadline.

Patience Pays off as Solomon signs for Leeds
