Send him to Perth for a few years to go work for the Salvation army.
 
You have to say, we have made some tremendously piss poor signings over the last few years (and some very good ones too to counter balance that claim). Bringing in JS when he had his previous injury history at Leeds just screamed 'mistake'. He might have been very unlucky with injuries again since he signed for us, but it was simply a gamble and a wage we didn't need to take and burden on the club. Ridiculous decision really. Just a waste of club resources. I was also saying on here that we shouldn't be signing Tom Davies either for the same reason (at least hes made it onto the pitch a few times tbf to him) and yet most on here were delighted when he came in too (no doubt on a very handsome weekly wage to reflec his past PL experience).

No one is is raising questions about these players abilities on a pitch as that's a different debate, rather these type of deals for players with previous histories of problems staying injury free and available, should at least be heavily weighted towards the clubs benefit on a 'play for pay' structural basis (low basic, high bonus for achievement), or ideally, they should not happen at all. The club needs to learn from these expensive mistakes.

They’ve both been poor but at least Davies has made positive contributions when he has got on the pitch, just a shame he can’t do it more often.

Agreed. Davies has been pretty good on the few occasions we've seen him.

If he's fit, I'd quite happily see him in the centre of the midfield alongside Peck/Soumare/Matos, assuming we don't play kamikaze football.

Shackleton can bugger off, absolute waste of money and doesn't set Chris Wilder's knobhead test bar very high.

That should be for all footballers, injury history or not. Whether Haaland or Shackleton, give them £5k per week basic then negotiate bonuses eg. In Haaland's case, £1,000 per minute on the pitch, £50k per goal etc.

We'll see how many are suddenly injured or unavailable, or happy to sit on the bench or as backup (Foderingham).
