No thanks.
Waghorn was a disaster, and although Sharp is more mobile (so is my gran), we'd just be repeating the same mistake as last time.

I think I maybe slightly scarred by the Waghorn signing, but this does not fill me with delight.
2 years ago I’d of been delighted with this, so I suppose it shows how far we’ve come as a club. More than happy to be proven wrong though

There is no denying he was a very good striker and whilst not wanting to sound like a snob, to be linked with him in the past would have been a compliment...but not now
Maybe it’s Doug getting serious about dealing with fans who run onto the pitch?
Im not sure on this one, unless its a signing with potential to take him on in a coaching role when he retires like a shooting/attacking coach or something
As someone above has said apart from what I would say striker back-up he could add value on the training field and help young strikers such as Ellis Simms, whoever else we sign and the youngsters, at 37 he will have an eye on when he hangs his boots up.

Simms Yates godden Sharpe. That's a great strike unit!
Send tavares on loan

His stats from last season aren't great but he'd add a bit of experience and much needed aggression to the squad.
His age profile certainly doesn't fit our process. I'd be surprised if this is anything other than media gossip.
No.
Waghorn. Beavon. Darius Henderson. Yakubu.
All brought in and the same BS trotted out: “guile”. “Experience”. “Teach the younger strikers”.
Another aging striker taking up a squad place and wage budget.
What are we going to do, develop Sharpe and hope to sell his 38 year old bones for a profit?
No.
Just don’t.

Sharp has gone beyond being an effective forward and is now just a journeyman on a downward trek. I'm sure his leadership and experience is great in the dressing room but we already have Fadz and Kellz for the "old head" approach. He'll get some minutes and will probably still score goals in the Champ but can't see him being more than a bit part player for us (Waghorn Mk. II) and he isn't going to impact a game or a season enough to warrant his wages.
Top player at this level in his time. Unfortunately, he's beyond that now. Not for me, this one.
Don't think this would be a factor tbh. It's like thinking a Villa player and fan wouldn't sign for us as we're supposed rivals.
