Jamie Shackleton

[Edgar Allan Poo]

Can we have a vote on it? A supporters referendum? Someone get Steve & Helmy on the phone.

To be fair, he has a year on his contract left so might as well see if we can get some value for him.

I suppose a better question for the forum is "What would you swap Jamie Shackleton for?" as If people are thinking we are "getting rid" of him, the only way would be by some sort of raffle.

Not even sure Wilder mentioned Shackleton in the presser. Although somehow our Danny has spun that into an article about Shackleton while ignoring the fact he has played less football for us than Tom Davies.

Just said something similar in shoutbox. Nothing to see here as far as I'm concerned other than fabricating a non-story about needing players who can cover more than one position if you've got a small squad.

I can think of one who does the same job as Shackleton but has a pair of functioning legs - Hamza Choudhury. Josh Laurent is out contract, can play anywhere and also has the ability to run.

If Wilder wants a core squad of 23 players then Shackleton needs to come back as the bloody terminator if he's going to be in that core group that plays most weeks. He's never played regularly at any point in his career other than a loan spell at Millwall 4 years ago.

We need to get him off the books and he can have a run around in League One for someone else.

I'd look at loaning him out and then releasing him at the end of his contract.

Looks to be the only option in reality, assuming he's somewhat fit by August.

He's been one of the biggest wastes of time and money we've had in recent years, and there are plenty of contenders for that crown.

Heard we are offering this guy a 3 year contract with option.

His option or ours ?

Who will take a player who is always injured on loan?

(Apart from us of course)

'Strong tall fit athletic players Chris?'

'What's wrong with slow short arses that can't stay fit?'

Shackleton got to be up there with one of worst signings we’ve ever made.

At least some of the rubbish in the past we’ve signed have actually played matches.

Stick to dogging FFS!

Josh Laurent would be a good shout. Decent midfielder and can cover RB at a push.

Over the course of Wilders decade with us, i can't think of an elite athlete he's recruited. Even the big lumps he's brought in, James Hanson, Leon Clarke, Sanderson Bergen - all had the athelticslism of Stephen Hawking...
