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.
