Jason Shackell

[DazBlade88]

He's transfer listed at Wolves, I'd be happy to see us have a sneaky bid for him.

He'd bring better depth to the back 4 which even with Fortune signing I still think we need.

 

[Bladesman]

Yep certainly worth a punt I was hoping we would sign him before Wolves did.

 

[mickerz-blade]

He's quite tall as well. 6ft 3.

 

[Rich]

Is Fortune contracted to us yet?

 

[Blades-7]

try a cheeky 500k bid maybe?

 

[SotonBlade]

Is Fortune contracted to us yet?

The last i heard he picked up an injury in the game he played for us and we were waiting on that healing before making a decision. My guess is that we will sign him once fit again

 

[Bladesman]

Perhaps worth a move for in January?

 

[S5Blade]

I know its a bullshit website, but its a slow day in the office....

 

[Bladesman]

50 quid should be enough to get him. They can fuck off if they want us to pay more than that.

 

[S5Blade]

Only played 8 times last season for Derby, the season before he played 48 and the one before that 38 in the premier league.

33 years old, has a ton of experience but just seems a little too old for what we are looking for I think.

 

[Esablade]

Surely one for Nigel?

 

[Bladeinleeds]

Would Not be the most exciting signing in the world & doesn't address the lack of pace and power in the squad.

I Could have seen him as an alternative to stearman, feels similar to that experienced leader at the back....

But I guess we'll see

 

[DifferentClass]

Surely one for Nigel?

Didn't Simon find this one cycling past a rubbish tip near his newsagents?

 

[FriethBlade]

Didn't Simon find this one cycling past a rubbish tip near his newsagents?

Yep and thought I'll do an old employer who's got a similar budget to us a favour

 

[Blade58]

In Stearman's absence, could be the experience we need to sail us through the next couple of months choppy waters

As CW often reminds us, he has short term, medium term and long term targets. Suppose it depends which category he places Shackell into

 

[Ricky]

Obvious option if he's been made available by Derby.

If he signed he'd likely take the central slot with Stearman and Basham contesting the RCB slot. If we stick with a back 3 that is.

 

[Pinchy]

6-4. A real Shawcross! That's what I call a centre-back!!!

 

[HodgysBrokenThumb]

I know its a bullshit website, but its a slow day in the office....

Pity we didn't have those sponsors in Higdon's day.

 

[Bladesman]

Shackell who is coming back from a long term back injury? Shackell who we should have signed about 7 years go?

Lets go for him.

 

[robbiez666]

He's young, pacy and black. Get him signed.

 

[Raiderman50]

Sheffield United have enquired about signing centre back Jason Shackell on loan #SUFC #twitterblades #DeadlineDay https://t.co/ekhhXXgpIn

 

[TommyAndy]

No thanks

 

[adebo]

On loan til January to cover Stearman wouldn't be against it. With the option to keep him if he cuts it

 

[wizadry]

33, hardly started a game for the last couple of years and there's much better options out there who are actually playing professional football.

 

[TJB.]

On loan til January to cover Stearman wouldn't be against it. With the option to keep him if he cuts it

Wright has proved he can cover for Stears.

Unnecessary signing, and most likely bullshit.

 

[Bladeinleeds]

This would be spectacularly underwhelming tbh.

Especially after actually making significant offers for other players.

 

[BigBed]

Fuck that, we've got super Jake and CCV, GET A FUCKING STRIKER SORTED FFS !!!!

 

[McGrath]

If we signed him it would add to a squad packed full of names that could be used in amusing ways ... Basham, 'Enda', Stearman, Sharp etc
