CONFIRMED Jamie Shackleton

[Red Wing Blade]

Whats his best position? Would he be a RWB option for Bogle?

Given that Curtis isn't ready yet and we only have Bogle for the right back slot, then I imagine he will be back up/competition for Bogle.

 

[Lightsoot]

Lacklustre, depressing signing. We need an improvement on Bogle, not a mediocre stand in for him.

 

[TJ blade]

The comparison between the moaners on here, to the ecstasy from the Wendies after the Max Lowe signing is hilarious

Think there easily pleased after escaping the jaws of L1

 

[Nick Jansky]

Lacklustre, depressing signing. We need an improvement on Bogle, not a mediocre stand in for him.

We don’t. Bogle is more than good enough for the Championship. We wouldn’t be able to afford an improvement on him.

100%

He really could be exceptional this season when hoping we’re going to strengthen to the point we’re attacking / in possession in more than half our games. That’s Bogles strength. At 23 years old he can still improve defensively as well.

Out of all the positions in the squad probably the two players you could say we definitely do not need to improve are Bogle and Hamer currently. Robinson is also fairly reliable at champ level.

 

[Fatlad666]

Bottom line is, the lad wants to wear the red and white shirt. And that's good enough for me. Give him a chance

 

[Jimmy Fleck]

He’s picked to play for us over Leeds. We need players like him who can cover multiple positions- especially now little bens gone.

 

[ancientblade]

yes shackleton will be back up for bogle and think curtis will be sent on loan to league 1 as for bogle if we bring worrall or another strong rcb in it will be good cover for him when he goes forward which he didnt get last season with anel i fancy bogle to get double figures in goals next season

 

[Bill puntin]

Could just be want we need someone to explore the open spaces like his grandad Earnest.

 

[Lightsoot]

We don’t. Bogle is more than good enough for the Championship. We wouldn’t be able to afford an improvement on him.

But we need to recruit & nurture players who will ultimately be capable of competing in the Prem if we’re ever going to progress.

 

[NerdyBlade]

Mate is a Leeds fan, saw the story this morning and sent me this:

"Hes steady shacks, nothing special but steady. And covers both wings, full backs and cm".

 

[Bladeloyal]

Welcome shacks to the nut house

 

[Davalon]

Born in Yorkshire with a gold old fashioned Yooerksha name.

Should go down a treat with plenty of our fans

 

[3Cheers4Ramirez]

He’s hardly had a stellar season last year.

What does this say about the other young right backs we’ve stockpiled?

What now for Seriki, Sachdev and Curtis?

Why, we'll keep them all for 3 years of course, before releasing them on frees...

This is an example of where we need to be decisive. Seriki and Sachdev should be sold, and Curtis loaned out to L1/L2

Can't just cling onto young players forever, waste our money, and stifle their careers

 

[Harry's Game]

Shackleton

I don’t know much about about him but I have heard his families High Seat Chairs are Lovely

 

[Booker4]

He's still only 24 and he can cover many positions. Comparisons to Osborn are understandable but he cost us £3m or so whereas Shackleton has cost us nothing and he's got his best years to come. He did really well at Millwall on loan where he played regularly.

 

[Booker4]

Apparently pretty fast too and he played 22 times in Leeds' promotion season and then 13 and 14 times respectively in the premier league seasons after that so he must have something about him.

 

[HarryHaslam]

Didn't Rocket Man call this?

Literally right after Sheff Utd News said on Twitter Jamie Shackleton and Sam McCallum were the two players El Accounto was saying we were signing. Close but no cigar.

 

[Bladeloyal]

A player that will thrive at the lane ,away from that Billy big bollox club .

 

[Torrix1889]

Apparently pretty fast too and he played 22 times in Leeds' promotion season and then 13 and 14 times respectively in the premier league seasons after that so he must have something about him.

Osborn played 61 times for us in the Prem and 54 in the Championship yet we have let him go....not saying it was the wrong decision but as Shackleton appears to be a similar kind of utility type player it's a bit odd......only difference between the two is one is left footed, the other right...

And he's 24 ,,ossy is 30 in August and has had a few injuries ,

At the moment we need to recruit a squad with the funds we have available.

 

[Torrix1889]

And he's 24

Fair point.

 

[Houston_Blade]

A player that will thrive at the lane ,away from that Billy big bollox club .

The kind of player that Muck and Nettles FC love. He’ll fit right in.

Every good team has a muck and nettles player .can't all be messi

You can be good at football and also get stuck in, our recruitment team should look for those kinds of players.

This will be a “he gets the culture” type of signing.

 

[Bladeloyal]

England u20 played in a promotion side ,turned out in the prem ,loan at the wall where they quite liked him he's not bobbar that knows.

 

[Woodhouseblades]

To be fair when I have seen him for Leeds he has been decent enough. A younger Ben Osborn really.

Not very tall and runs around a lot?

 

[Woodhouseblades]

Fact that nobody else had offered him a job might be a big influu
