I think we’re signing Jamie Shackleton from Sheffield United. No, I’m not familiar with him either. Maybe the Leeds fans lurking on the board can give us some insight as he’s another Leeds academy product. Right back and central midfielder in his mid-20s - fits the profile.
He joined the club as a young lad 8/9 yrs old, hit the first team squad at 17 but for whatever reason never got a good run in the team. Personally I liked him, always gave 100%, never let us down but didn't seem to impress any of the coaches he played under enough. Not sure he'll be signing as he only joined Sheff Utd in the summer and tbh I think the PL is above his talent but very adequate for the championship, better at RB than midfield.
Gessa will you edit your quote? He would be the type of player we are desperately lacking. Or at least that’s what I thought before the Leicester game. An attacking wing back for the right hand side.
If he was at Leeds now, he’d struggle to make the bench, a very average Championship player, I’m shocked you want him to be honest, bit injury prone too
Not everyone is going straight into the first team. If we do sign him it’ll be because they see potential in his stats and attributes.
He’s 25 so he should be at his full potential, he is never going to be good enough for the PL, we virtually let him go, he was offered a reduced shorter term contract, he said no and we were happy to let him walk for free. Are you sure Ipswich are interested in him, I just can’t see it myself
