Would people really not be happy with Sharp signing but are excited about the prospect about Wood (only a glimmer of a rumour) signing?

I'll be over the moon if we signed Sharp and not remotely excited about the Wood rumour and my reasons are simple:

Sharp 211 Championship appearances - 73 Goals
Wood 132 Championship appearances - 37 Goals

Sharp 3 times reached double figures in Championship
Wood 1 time reached double figures in Championship

Sharp Goals To Games Ratio In Championship - 2.89
Wood Goals To Games Ratio In Championship - 3.56

I know stats can be made to look favourable on whichever side your arguing for but the goals Sharp scored can't be changed and almost all of them came with very poor teams struggling at the bottom of the table and if he linked up with Doukara I could see one of them challenging for top scorer this year.

Despite a horrendous result and performance against Millwall I can actually still see us having a good season and surprising a lot of people.

I would welcome either or both as they are both great strikers at this level and better than any striker we've signed in years.

Latest rumour though is that we're in for anecutti as well!

I agree JBM. Its official we have signed Billy Sharp and I am really pleased. I believe he is as good as anyone in the Championship and believe we will now play some good attacking football along the floor, which will result in him scoring more goals for us than RMc will for Fulham.
We still have players to sign and really gel as a team, but I am hopeful we will have a happier season than previous ones!

All (and I do mean all) of us Leeds fans should be impressed by how quickly MC has reacted to the poor performance on Saturday. 3 good signings today for sure, will make a difference to us as long as we don't play Mr *unt as that is like playing with 10.

I see most people reckon for 2nd/3rd fav for relegation! no chance with MC backing us the way he has, under previous management this would not have happened for sure!

Rome not built in a day but onwards and upwards for us even if (when) we do have the odd pants performance, can't understand why any Leeds fan would be feeling negative at the moment.

Cant disagree with you DG vor, feeling more confident with these signings and talk of possibly more quality coming in. Our abysmal showing at Millwall had me believing little had changed on the pitch.
Looking forward to Boro game.

Hopefully you are all right, just a shame it took the rude awakening last saturday to get some serious action going.?

DG
I personally don't think it was anything to do with milwall game, we were in for cooper 3 weeks ago and a few more.
It's down to MC/Salerno being shrewed tacticians and I think we will see 3 or 4 more moves in the coming weeks.

PATIENCE will keep the negative-worms quiet ;)
