I didnt mind Osborn but one thing id really like is if Shackleton is aggressive in the tackle. Like Mark Patterson was. I'm fine with limited but I'd like someone on the middle who can harass and tackle, snap at heels type. You don't need to be skillful to do they but it's a rare skill these days too

When was the last time we had a player like that in centre mid? I'd say Besic and that was years ago.

Fleck in his pomp?

Not in my view. Besic was after Flecks arrival but Fleck was at his best at the same time Besic was here.

Fleck was an immense centre mid 3 or 4 years ago but I don't recall tackling particularly being his forte. Some might say Lundstrum but I thought he was known for ghosting into the box to finish things off more than Anything else.

We just seem to have lacked a centre mid with grit and aggression for years now and if we'd had that I actually think the fans would really respond to that too so I think the atmosphere would be improved too. Like how Baldock did.

I agree that fans would respond to it especially if like it’s a situational squad player for games where we’re up against it rather than a week in week out starter like Shackleton seems to be. Slater got a great reaction for doing it in the cup against Ipswich a while back.
 

I was pleased we were signing Shackleton in the first place but does anyone else feel that when he signs it will feel like signing someone like Jude Bellingham etc given the lack of positive news coming in!

If they also announce Browne, Burrows and 5 others at the same time then perhaps yeah?

I can see Shackleton and Macullam announced together, not quite the same but a start at least
 

Look forward to the club announcing it in 3 months’ time.
 
✅ Left Footed Ben Osborn Out
✅ Right Footed Ben Osborn In

Tufty always likes having at least one person he is taller than 😉

Now the shackles have been released (no pun intended) hopefully this is a shuffle towards common sense understanding that just because your house is up for sale, you can’t simply stop mowing the lawn and paying the gas and electric!
 
Did like someone put sign Shackleton and all is forgiven when they announced the 4 departures the other day. For me this doesn’t even touch the sides when we talk of making up for that he’s osbornes replacement!
 

Not on website yet, maybe waiting for this takeover, again!
My as well say we're signing Mbappe, if the new owner has enough money!
