Jason Shackell

Recommended Posts

Just watching Jason Shackell having a great game for Burnley marking RVP/Rooney etc out of the game. How we could do with him now. Which of our idiot managers sold him? Was it the same one who gave Chris Martin away?

Yes, Chris Hughton was responsible for selling all our players  years before he was even our manager.[:|]

[quote user="Deptford Canary"]That 1 million pound move to McCarthy,s Wolves only then to - as good as - never play was one of the strangest transfers ever![/quote]What does this say? About as clear as the motive for selling Shackell!

I was always under the impression that Shackell was sold to finance the Sibierski loan. That had to go down as one of the worst transfer deadline days.Great bit of business...Good luck to Shacks though, always rated him at City. His debut, away at Derby if i remember correctly, was brilliant. Shame it went a bit downhill for him when we made him captain.

Shackell had a head like a thrupenny bit, you were never sure which direction his headed "clearances" would go in. Was a good decision to sell him at the time and he wasn''t missed, so if he''s improved in the years he''s been gone then that''s great but let''s not pretend we sold Bobby f*cking Moore, eh?

Urban myth at the time was he was sold to subsidise the loan move for Sibierski!

Yeah a good solid defender who we could definitely do with now and also of the left footed CB rareity!

A player much like Chris Martin, where both needed to move on to get games in order to become the players they now are.
