CornwallRam Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 He's from Pinxton so might fancy coming home. He's 6ft 5 and scores a lot of goals - and not just with his head. He seems to be right footed, but the bits that I've seen he looks pretty good with his left too. It's interesting that we're being linked to lots of centre backs. I wonder if that's an indication that we're actively looking, or just that journalists have no clue and are guessing? Even if Jake leaves, we have Shackell, Keogh, Pearce, Albentosa, Shotton and Rawson, with Forsyth, Hanson and Baird able to fill in there. I can't see Flint, Hanley, Dunk or Schindler moving here unless they believe that they will be first choice players. If that's the case we might be looking at a pretty big cull, with most of the fringe players moving on and maybe one of Shackell or Pearce.

Doodle Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 If we buy evan a quarter of the players we are linked with we might not get Aden Flint but we sure will get Bernie Flint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anag Ram Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 Our game in Bristol was the perfect indication of his talents. First half we thought it would be a good idea to pump long balls towards him and he soaked everything up. Second half we played round him and he looked awkward and ponderous. The goals he scores only serve to cover up the fact that City's defence is pretty shaky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that's the case we might be looking at a pretty big cull, with most of the fringe players moving on and maybe one of Shackell or Pearce. Player by players scenarios: Bucko - has he gone already? Shackell - ability wise not in doubt, but personality? Not so sure about it. Pearson might sell him. Keogh - maybe he is not renewing his contract? - if not, need to sell. Or if we are going to play with deeper line, Keogh needs to be replaced (so selling is perhaps best option). I'm expecting him to be gone this summer. Pearce - who knows what's going on? Might even be our first team player next season. Albentosa - if that's true, how unproffesionally our club helped him to adjust, he is as good as gone. (Did we do same mistake with Camara? I bloody hope not) Shotton - should be sold. Rawson - not sure what's his current level is. Bu if based on watching highlights from Rotherham games, not even closely good enough to Championship. Another loan? Forsyth - as a CB? Where did you get that from? Rather see him on the wing than CB! Hanson - way too small to be CB in Pearson's team, I believe Bird - he can be the back up. Like he is to RB, DM and pretty much every other position. Overall - I really can see why we are CB. Could be the position we see most of the traffic this summer, lots of variables.

How can people continuously question shackell's personality? Generally based on speculation, do you know for a fact he's the Arse that so many people suggest he is? Admittedly he was part of the side that failed last season, but I for one would much rather have shackell with the questionable personality than Jake Buxton with the heart on the sleeve kind of approach. And why because shackell may or may not have a personality issue does it mean Pearson will sell, he's a manager who is capable of bringing the best out of players and he has no doubt dealt with players like shackell before and bought out the best in them. That is just my opinion of course!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the best teams have knob eds in them Terry = utter knob Giggs = Shagged his brothers missus Suarez = Likes to bite people Toure = Mardy egotistical (where's my cake) knob All of these players are/were massive for their clubs.

Nuwtfly Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 Flint is a very talented defender and a big threat from corners/set-plays. Would be a very good signing if true. However, the source for this thread is ropey at best...surprised this hasn't been locked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why does it seem that the 'Keogh Out' boys seem to be back in force? Keogh has been our best defender and most consistent player all season... And the whole 'replace him if we play a deeper line' in nonsense as Keogh is one of the few defenders around smart enough to adapt to new systems... 2 hours ago, Dcfcrams89 said: How can people continuously question shackell's personality?

It was a typical Shackell challenge... Half-hearted for a 50/50 challenge as he's more interested in protecting himself than protecting the team...

Granted that wasn't necessary, but his in capable manager had just hung him out to dry. I'm sure he's not the only one to have done something in the heat of the moment. i for one don't hold that against him, I'd much prefer shackell in my team at centre half over any other centre half we currently have on our books.
