Shea Charles

[SwissBlade]

I bet they’re penning a song about it already.

Shea. Shea Charles,
Shea. Shea Charles

Was never going to happen, not in the same season.
Not convinced he’s what we needed anyway, Souza is levels above as a DM, Blaster levels above as an all round player…maybe to cover but added little to our group over Peck/Davies

Chris Wilder said, at the start of the transfer window, he wasn't looking to bring in young loan players (we have JRS and Alfie G already), but rather experienced lads who knew what needed doing, not lads that are learning on the job, or some words like that. I am sure someone can find the interview.

I am sure he was just winding the Pigs up, and didn't plan on having another 21 year old come in, when we have a bench full of our own youngsters.

I think CW has paused the Chaudhery deal to try and get Charles.

He fits the criteria perfectly as he is young and ambitious with bags of potential and could've been coached and developed into a top PL holding midfielder at a fairly low level fee.

All conjecture on my part of course but looking medium term if Vini decides to cash out we could have had a midfield of Blaster, Peck, Davies, Charles (hopefully in the Prem or if not Champ)

I saw one presser where he also said he wanted players to be ready to go, again not verbatim but along those lines

It was far from a wind up. It was something which started as a what if and grew into discussions with Southampton. It’s fairly common knowledge, even amongst piggies that he was recalled because of Chansiri, the timing of the recall being during their fans forum and then Southamptons desire to find another club to send him to.

 

[Kevincarterversion2.0]

Don’t want this c*nt Charles anywhere near our club if he’d rather play for the Pigs.

 

[Aston max]

Do we think it's a wilder wind up

Shea Charles is staying at Sheffield Wednesday

Yes I realize that and I think that crossing the divide and all the animosity that goes with it may have been a major factor in his decision.

Clears the way for Choudhery to be signed hence the rumours resurfacing today

 

[UddersBlade]

Don’t think Leicester are keen on loaning out anyone until maybe right at the end of the window.

Well Chansuri got his own back and hurt Southampton, oh wait…….

I assume then that the preference for Southampton and his agent (DR) was to have him move to United, but ultimately, with the lad enjoying getting game at SW, his younger brother being there too, and the fact he is playing for a manager who may well be the Saints boss in the summer swung the decision.

Either way, its probably fair to say that Southampton probably won't be giving any favours out to SWFC and 'Mad Man Chan' anytime soon. I suspect they will have them pay top dollar for any future business between them. Good ol MMC.

 

[Ldn_Rd_Blades]

I’ve seen messages from Chansiri saying the loan fee was in to the millions and it shouldn’t have been that.

It wasn’t easy to tell through his broken English but I’m assuming that’s for the full season, but it read like it was “some millions” (direct quote) for the second half,

 

[Flatulent_Bob]

If we’ve bumped up the price they’ve had to pay for the loan then given Choudhury has been completed then I think we’ve got the best of both worlds for this season.

Could just be pigflation of course.

better options out there

I'll drink to that.

 

[Blades1971]

Time we closed this down. He's made his move. We move on.

 

[Proper Blade]

Thank fuck we never signed this kid. Absolutely shite in both derbies - stood and watched as Peck, Arblaster, Chodhury, Souza and any one of our midfielders played around him. Bullet dodged.

 

[sufc323]

I saw Wilder having a word with him at full time and mentioning in the pre match presser that we were close to signing him. Maybe we'll revisit in the summer? Wilder seems to be a fan

Don't think it helped that the pigs tactic seemed to be bypassing midfield to get it wide to Gassama

Another Rohl innovation fresh from his iPad

I wonder if he was a victim of their tactics being a bit off. They didn't get the game plan right and didn't look up for it.

Hopefully giving him some stick! If we go up we're going to have to look for better proven players because we can't have Hamer and Souza being our star men again in that division.

 

[Gin&Juice]

Did anyone see Wilder give him a pat on the back and a little whisper after the game whilst Jack Lester gave a wiry smile? He knows what he’s doing.

 

[LurkerBladeS2]

I agree but how much would players "better" than Hamer and Souza be, they're both £20m players surely so we are definitely gonna have to be better at scouting next year.

I agree with this criticism - yes, people that spend extra on an iPad are all fools. Android for life.

 

[DeanLearner'sCat]

I thought he was their best player in the first derby. Didn't really notice him the other day.

 

[S64 Blade]

Didn’t he say something like we weren’t very nice to him at Bramall Lane, that’s why he didn’t want to come?

Sounds like a bit of a wet wipe if so, so I hope that’s the message Wilder passed on.

 

[NewyorkBlade]

Plus if Sausage does go to Southampton, I think we'll be the last team he'll want him (Charles) to join

 

[HarryHaslam]

I don’t want him, looks average. A really poor struggling Southampton side thought he wasn’t good enough for their side and the PL so can’t see how he’ll be good enough for the PL next season.
