robertkay 39 Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Sharp has £1.85m release clauseDoncaster striker being chased by a string of clubsLast Updated: December 30, 2011 12:46pmBilly Sharp: Doncaster striker is being chased by several clubs and is understood to have £1.85m release clauseSky Sports sources understand Doncaster Rovers striker Billy Sharp has a £1.85million release clause in his contract which becomes effective on 1st January.Sharp has been tipped to leave the Keepmoat Stadium when the transfer window reopens and Rovers chairman John Ryan had previously stated the forward would cost £3m.However, it is understood that any club which offers £1.85m from New Year's Day will be able to hold talks with the former Sheffield United youngster regarding a possible deal.The 25-year-old has scored nine goals for Championship strugglers Doncaster this season and has a string of suitors from the Premier League and second tier.Fulham and Wigan Athletic are understood to be keen on Sharp, while Leicester City are also weighing up a move for the front-man.Championship leaders Southampton remain interested after seeing a summer bid rejected, while Ipswich Town also failed with an offer before the window closed in August.Hull City have been linked with a bid as well, but caretaker manager Nick Barmby cast doubt on the prospect of making a £3million offer for Sharp.From http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/12691/7401850/Sharp-has-1.85m-release-clauseDecent goal scoring record and at a more than fair price to be honest Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottBF2 3,540 Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 I'd honestly never heard of him before his son died and he cracked in a belter. Is he any good? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Forever 179 Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 I suspect that at that price, there'll be a few offers from teams who can pay a lot higher wages than we can. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turnberry18 3,204 Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Jelavic. I am getting tired of our best players leaving every January. It's time to build, not to rebuild, or take down and build. Move the ones who are not good enough, and build on those who are; why? There are 50,000 every fortnight why. The Ibrox punters deserve better than this. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz52 11,837 Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 I'd happily sell Jelavic for the right priceBilly Sharp has been top of my wish list for the past 2 years, wish we'd sign him Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broxi 12,111 Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Would be a great deal. Convincing Sharp to come here instead of the Premier League if teams really are interested may be an impossible task though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RossS1873 2,332 Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Would love to see Sharp up here. Mabey Diouf could put in a good word! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainAmerica18 846 Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 I'd honestly never heard of him before his son died and he cracked in a belter. Is he any good?Sounds horrible but that's true for most of us.Has went on a bit of a scoring streak for a poor team though. Would take him for that price if a replacement.
