Canary1902 0 Posted July 5, 2012 Appears the ex-Norwich boy is quite sought after property.Just signed for Burnley for around £1.1m, attracting interest from Leicester & Cardiff too according to BBC Football.Have to say I was rather shocked when he left us for Wolves a few years back. Not that he''d remotely get a game at NCFC now. Still glad he''s doing well and punching around the £1m mark Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shefcanary 2,385 Posted July 5, 2012 He''s a left footer - always in demand as rarer than a right footer. As long as he continues to play close to his potential there will always be a club in for him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Orford65 0 Posted July 5, 2012 One of the best Championship defenders last season by all accounts - certainly the best performer for Derby with regular top ratings and also their captain.The Derby supporters are not at all happy, they had the makings of a good team for this season and are now selling a defensive rock for virtually peanuts. Their club must still have serious financial problems. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Syteanric 1 Posted July 5, 2012 Shacks is a good player, I think he will get his chance in the premiership again before long. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nuff Said 5,089 Posted July 5, 2012 I heard similar things from my mates who support Derby. One of their best regarded players and I''ve seen a few kids with his name on the back of their shirts.Where in Derbyshire are you Orford? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But obviously he''s remembered as a Championship player and is still playing for Championship teams at the moment. But as we know as NCFC fans, it only takes a chance to have a big break to officially be classed as a Premier League player (Like pretty much all our players) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GJP 79 Posted July 5, 2012 [quote user="jas the barclay king"]Shacks is a good player, I think he will get his chance in the premiership again before long.[/quote]He''s a good Championship defender when he''s on form (as he has been last couple of seasons) but I don''t think there''ll be many established Premier clubs looking to take him on and none of the promoted clubs have taken a punt on him this summer either. So unless Burnley get promoted I don''t think he''s likely be in the Prem any time soon - if ever again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Orford65 0 Posted July 5, 2012 As an add-on to the Derby situation, Lee Croft has been bombed out by them on loan to Division One side Oldham for next season - they just do not want him! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kingsway 94 Posted July 7, 2012 Shackell was a good pro for us and he would do a squad players job for us now as well I think! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
