McShane's done one...

[Fez]

True, same goes for McShane though and he doesn't have to go off after an hour every week.

You keep posting this and it is time for you to support it with facts that show substitutions for injury and those for tactics, also the games he completed. I seem to remember both players having outstanding performances and cannot see the point of using criticism of one to discuss the other.

 

[PLT]

Only a 'lesser player' in your opinion.

Steve Bruce's, not mine particularly.

 

[The FRENCH TICKLER]

Appears that Alex agreed and signed his deal last December whilst Rosie and Macca held. Back.

With Chester Dawson and Maguire and Alex as cover it ain't so bad.

I expect us to allow Davies to go if anyone offers a fair price for him.

Burnley in need of defenders so Macca could end up there.

Still sad news mind,,, if true.

Gutted, well gutted, what a legend this guy has become, jumping from derided for being poor to cult hero back to poor and back to cult hero more than once or twice. On one hand it makes sense, if we have 5 CBs under contract we have to shed some wages, on the other hand, we have 3 CBs who i would expect to come under offers, Dawson, Chester and Davies, and if we do lose more than one of them it could leave us looking shaky at the back

Think this very relevant in the article, it'll be ignored on here.

Bruce, Quinn and Rosenior were all offered deals around Christmas time and while Quinn and Rosenior chose to keep their options open, Bruce later put pen to a paper on a contract that will run until 2017.

You roll the dice....

Agreed ^^^^ this. But the club should be looking to offload messrs. McGregor and Davies.

As for team spirit the bad eggs are going anyway.

Are they? Who are the bad eggs?

McShane was toast whether we stayed up or not. We all knew he had a spat with SB and was made to apologise to his team mates for 'whatever' happened.

Why is everyone surprised ?

What - Rosie and Macca?

Because Bruce was picking Macca over junior?

Macca wasn't offered one in December, as has been mentioned several times already.

 

[The FRENCH TICKLER]

Does anyone see Mcshane going to a PL club?

Nope. Burnley is my tip for Macca and maybe Rotherham for Rosie.

Steve Evans (olm's mate) loves a bargain.

McShane or Bruce.......Shocking decision. Paul any day of the week. Bruce is just an average Championship centre half. McShane for me stands out. Gutting!

He was but it was withdrawn after his meltdown with Bruce.

Not that I would expect a dummy like you to know that.

 

[The FRENCH TICKLER]

If we start the championship season with the defenders we currently have then losing Rosenior and McShane is irrelevant, we'll have the best defence in the league. Releasing those two becomes a bad decision if we sell start to sell some of those that are left.

Which is why we wont. I agree we still have the best defense in the championship. We just need new strikers now in the main.

Utter bullshit !

 

[TheCasual]

I'll judge our business when our we've finished our recruitment.

If letting Macca and Rosey go allows us to bring in young hungry players with potential then I'll be happy.

 

[The FRENCH TICKLER]

We have got a lot of centre backs. Maguire was apparently outstanding for Wigan at that / this level.

Yes he was. We have to play him next season or we would loose him.

Chester and Maguire are perfect alongside Dawson.

Iam gutted. To see Rosie and Macca go. Just think how Liverpool fans are feeling re. Gerrard not getting a new contract. Sadly it happens.

 

[armchairfan]

i like McShane but i don't get why people are hating Alex Bruce so much , he is similar in ability and in heart , certainly Macca and Bruce are players you would want when the weaker minded are losing their form and not staying "classy" .
Last season ive loved so many of Alex Bruces no holds barred tackles , wrongly penalised sometimes too .

He has some strong points, but his passing ability is poor and he gives the ball away.

 

[pudseytiger]

A guy on twitter for want its worth claiming McShane is going because of a massive bust up with Hudd and Livermore telling them that they only get into the team because they SB adopted children and he also had a pop at Alex as well.

 

[originallambrettaman]

I am led to believe that the HDM have got the story slightly wrong, Bruce hasn't just got a new deal, he got a three year deal over a year ago, it just wasn't announced at the time.
