I'd only let him go if someone actually pays a fee for him I agree with you, but he is another on a high wage and we simply appear to need to move some of them on to release some finance in the wage bill? That's without being ITK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cosmic Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 "Part of a pretty major summer turn around". What do we think that refers to? Rowett's intended squad culling, or that we've done a 180 on deciding to get rid of Shackell? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't surprise me if an MLS side did come in for him. I think I recall seeing somewhere that his wife is originally from Texas, so it wouldn't be a shock to see someone like Houston Dynamo be in for him if the oppurtunity came up.

Utter garbage. When fit he's been our best centre back. Last year he was injured and the odd game he played he wasn't fully fit. He may well go as we've too many centre halves. I doubt he's worse than Davies. Both very good at this level. If he goes he goes with my best wishes. Think he's been excellent when fit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
needles Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 He's never been properly fit since he came back. Always flexing the back and stretching. Never comfortable on the ball. Never fitted what we were trying to do. If you wanted to plant everyone behind the ball, sit deep and counter teams he'd be ideal...if fit. Strong. Heads it and kicks it. That's not been or going be our game plan, hence, awful waste of money. Not his fault necessarily either. Good luck if he goes, but just another in a long line of signings that with hindsight never should have been made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think he's been excellent when fit Which is why the first name on the team sheet for a succession of managers, all of whom I'd assume to be more astute than yourself, has been Keogh. Makes perfect sense. Shackell's second stint with the club has been distinctly mediocre. You'd think the fact that Keogh, who has been constantly maligned since the play-off final by large sections of the fans has still been voted POTY twice might give a clue as to who has been the most consistent player in the squad, let alone CB. I wish him well but assuming we can secure any kind of fee I'd not be losing sleep over him leaving. His back problems are ongoing and getting him off our wage bill can only assist us where FFP is concerned. Considering how many folk have been clamouring to reduce the squad size, you'd think this would be welcome news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
