Imagine my dismay at opening this thread and not finding that is was anything to do with ornithological studies pertaining to the magnificent Garrulus glandarius

I heard Adkins had them doing a lot of gym work, like weight lifting and stuff, dunno what he did fitness wise.

Adkins endeavouring to apply the spray tan:

This loses a lot of it's comic timing now that the rogue thread it addressed has been merged.

Anyway - on a more serious note....

Tidy player
Good footballer
Positive player
Eye for goal
Why the hell wouldn't yer

It's a "Yes" from Ken

means everything , why do clubs rely on stats therse days

baseball players in US wages are based on their stats
to play in 10 games and not lose means youve been 10 per cent responsible for it, at least
will he improve the team ,
well theres evidence hes not detracted from it more than some fan deciding he doesnt like him
clubs these days will not reject him on those figures

why have we won the league
weve won more games than anyone else
after that its which players have contibuted playing in unbeaten teams
not a random personal taste session

why would you invest in certain shares
they offer good returns , show some gains ,
investing in players is the same

Baseball, like cricket is a game where individual performances are scrutinised because of their game changing impact. Football is not like that, it is the ultimate team game, individual stats are mearly an indicator, not conclusive.

 

[LoughboroBlade]

As someone that wouldn't have been too bothered to see him head elsewhere, if he's making up the broader squad roles (say replacing Scougall as back-up), then fine. I'm assuming we will be signing better players to push our current first team in addition to the likes of O'Shea and Evans, who I'm expecting to be outside the starting XI.

O'Shea can score certainly, can whip in a decent cross when called upon to, and is at least a signing that allows us to funnel resources to other priorities...

 

[Deadly_D'Jaffo]

I dont think he could've done much more with the minutes he has been given.

This could be another Jake Wright signing - Low risk and capable. I'll trust Wilder.

 

[Hodgyman]

What on earth will we do with a midfield player who will shoot at the goal from outside the box? Alan Knill will have to retrain him during the preseason

 

[JackSUFC]

No fee, definitely on the lower end of the wage bill, known the squad since January - Would've been strange if we'd not signed him in my opinion.

 

[David Lee's first touch]

Good technically, done well when called upon, earned the contract good luck jay he may surprise a few

tell that to fitness coaches , players get dropped over body fat levels now
and performance indicators loom large in selection

 

[1danewhitehouse]

It might not be my way
But I'm Okay
if we let Jay O Shea stay.
I wouldn't expect him to play
Every day
but as a squad player he's Okay.
Though I must say
There will come a day
when our team is too good for Jay to stay.

Beautiful! Now we just need a song to fit it into and some merchandise to sell to gullible fans and we've made the big time!

 

[blade too long]

Yeah, he's decent. I'm hoping for better than decent tho.

decent is good enough for the championship ,
want superb in the prem

 

[Blade58]

Apparently he's signed, in with the Ched deal.

No wonder we never win the Eurovision Song Contest any more.

I think we should move on now. O'Shea was ok-ish in L1 but not good enough for our starting 11 - so can't see him featuring much in the Championship. We need to be looking for better quality.

As for O'Shea, he has no chance of receiving an offer from a better club than us - although I guess he may receive a longer contract offer elsewhere.

Jay O'Shea waiting on Paul Cook situation at Pompey. If leaves for Wigan has told player's agent he would like him to follow #twitterblades

Will know he will only be a bit part player at the Lane, don`t blame him for wanting to play matches.

Personally won't be disappointed if he goes elsewhere, easily replaceable squad player.

 

[Champagneblade]

I do not begrudge him the opportunity to have a contract here given his meaningful contribution in the chances given.

That said, this is an opportunity to get someone in better than Duffy, not of a similar quality.

Though they may cost more.

Given both Maguire and Walker being relatively heavily touted to move on, it may be worth an educated gamble on getting Holmes, Otzumer, Maddison or similar who may be expected to play a more significant role than O'Shea is expected to.

 

[Norderner]

Best wishes to jay, if he does indeed move on. For his £50,000 loan fee, yet another astute signing for what was required last season.

 

[JordoBlade]

He's turned us down

[Slim Man]

Happy about that. Fair play to him though, part of our best season in recent history.
We need players that improve the depth of the squad, not keep it the same.

 

[LenTednTony]

Looked good on the ball but, if he wasn't confident that he could fight his way into the team and stay there.......what does that say about his character?
