Jay O'Shea

[Ricky]

He'll be on more at Bury than he would've been here.

 

[IdLiketoRogerMoore]

He'll be on more at Bury than he would've been here.

And that metaphor is also true for my trip to Bury...

 

[finlaytheblade]

How come Cov let Fleck go for free? There must have been something not right eh?

If we get a chance to sign Oztumer we should take it. Simple as that. There's plenty of kebab shops in Sheffield he'd love it here!

Fleck went on a free as he as over 24 and refused a new contract

Doubt it.

But the length of contract and guarantee of first team football would be there.

 

[Cerberus Blade]

True. But the same doubts could have been raised. I.e. "if he's any good how come he's leaving for nowt?"

 

[SUFCinks]

Fair play to him, he wants to play football not just pick up a pay slip. Says a lot about the man. Good luck Jay - great signing for Bury.

 

[Patrick Suffaux]

He's better off at Bury. I had doubts that he would have played much next season and his decision to turn United down for Bury has confirmed that to me. He didn't back himself to get into our team and earn himself a better deal. He wouldn't have had the confidence and self belief to force his way in.

I would have backed myself and taken the opportunity to play at a higher level. I suppose we're all different though. Good luck to him all the same.

 

[John Street West Terrace]

Honourable decision by Jay in my eyes. Obviously wants to play football ahead of being paid more to sit on the bench

If this is the case I echo your comments , we talking about this over a pint or nine last night , knowing that your career is approx 15-18 yrs long if your lucky enough to stay injury free & if you'd got half a brain ( big ask with some players I know ) you'll be financially solvent , with that in mind surely you'd want to play the game we all love , I played at a decent level myself when I was younger and at his age I know I would rather drop a level and play the be squad player .. I could never get the reserve keeper at Newcastle Steve Harper .. spent something like 19 seasons getting splinters in his arse .. yeh he'll be minted .. but what a waste of a career & yer life ?!?!

 

[SteveBlade]

Had it in my head that he would have been wanted by the 'big' League 1 teams.

Maybe there's something we don't know about Bury that's pulled him.

 

[veganblade]

Decent move for him. Not a bad front three for a club Bury's size: Vaughan, Beckford and O'Shea.

Never understood that myself either! Must've really enjoyed it at Newcastle though. I'd happily sit on the bench for united each week in fairness given half a chance!

 

[crucialkneeligaman]

According to the Bury Times they beat us to his signature , suppose you could argue that.

 

[Ricky]

He's suddenly got fat. Look at his hips. Is Vegas responsible?!

 

[Tynemouth Blade]

Have you seen the signings Bury have made?

[SUFCinks]

On paper not many if any will beat that front 3 in league 1

Bury could be worth a little bet for promotion.
I wonder what their odds are?

Doesn't matter how good their signings are; Lee Clarke is the manager

Should have added 9/2 for promotion. Other odds were for league outright (ew 1/4 odds 1,2,3). Skybet go 33/1 (ew 1/5 odds 1,2,3,4).

 

[RealMcCoy]

He will have been offered a one year contract on wages no more than those offers at bury with no guarantee of being in the 18 let alone the team.
Anyone would gave chosen to go to Bury

Both clubs offered two year contracts. Seen Wilder quoted on that somewhere.

 

[Jon P]

Out for 6 weeks - knee ligament damage.

Cue Alan Partridge gif!
