Ten Caat Posted January 17, 2019 Report Posted January 17, 2019 billy big bawz attitude a la wilson ? never really seen what the fuss was about with mcntoniminiminiminay Sure i saw an interview a few months back (McLeish?) saying that despite being at Manure, he's really a quiet kid with not a hint of an attitude problem or superiority complex. Can't really see the point of us taking him on loan. He would be yet another defensive midfielder......even if Shinnie were to leave in this window, he isn't a viable option for us to buy at the end of the loan.....he's worth £3-£5 million at least and probably on £20k/week. You would think Celtic might be a better option for him with Broon in decline/possibly off to molest some wallabies. No matter where he ends up on loan, I think he needs to leave Old Trafford. He's just not quite the level that they operate at. Southampton, West Ham or the likes I think he could do a job Quote

Maybe they want him to play in middle to allow Shinnie to go to left back until end of season. Suspect this is just paper talk however. Quote
LA-Don Posted January 17, 2019 Author Report Posted January 17, 2019 Pretty clear if this is true that Shinnie is leaving or moving to left back. Makes perfect sense to me. Quote

BigAl Posted January 17, 2019 Report Posted January 17, 2019 And changed his name. Fucking predictive text You got the point though Quote
tlg1903 Posted January 17, 2019 Report Posted January 17, 2019 Gutted, would have loved to sign him Quote
LA-Don Posted January 17, 2019 Author Report Posted January 17, 2019 Gutted, would have loved to sign him Much like Stevie Mallan, missed opportunity. Quote
ayrshire_don74 Posted January 17, 2019 Report Posted January 17, 2019 shaughnessy pre contract ? Quote
Jute Posted January 17, 2019 Report Posted January 17, 2019 Much like Stevie Mallan, missed opportunity. Lot of Hibs fans not overly impressed with Mallan so far. Quote
LA-Don Posted January 17, 2019 Author Report Posted January 17, 2019 shaughnessy pre contract ? Word on the street or just your thoughts/suggestions? Quote
A llad insane Posted January 17, 2019 Report Posted January 17, 2019 Id argue that Shinnie makes a cunt of things equally as frequently. Ball is a better passer, better in the air and a bit better with his weaker foot than Shinnie. Just remember to yourself what happens when Shinnie finds himself in an advanced position. Generally results in a brain fart as he hasn't a clue what to next.... But Shinnie is "one of our own" so he gets away with his aberrations. I agree Ball is god awful at right back....that memory seems to be what sticks in folks' memories. At defensive midfield he is absolutely solid and has been one of our most consistently good players this season....never flashy just gets on with doing the job he is paid to do Spot on TC, Ball is a lot better than some folk are making out, he is better suited to the middle of the park, as was apparent after the Motherwell semi, but with his physique, he adds real strength to our team. Great attitude to boot. Quote
manc_don Posted January 17, 2019 Report Posted January 17, 2019 Word on the street or just your thoughts/suggestions? Not the first time this has been mooted. Was mentioned before Christmas I believe Quote
RicoS321 Posted January 17, 2019 Report Posted January 17, 2019 I like Shaugnessy, good player. Comfortable on the ball and gets stuck in. I was surprised when we let him go. I had heard at the time that McInnes didn't like his attitude, but that could be nonsense. Replacement for McKenna I'd assume. Quote

Elgindon Posted January 17, 2019 Report Posted January 17, 2019 Think he's actually left footed,but seem to remember us playing him at R/B?? Quote
Ten Caat Posted January 17, 2019 Report Posted January 17, 2019 Sure he's a right footer. I couldn't imagine he would want to play back up to Devlin at this point in his career unless we were offering silly money. Although as I've already said, it does look on evidence so far that Devlin will miss a fair chunk of each season through injury and suspension. If he was to be signed as a first choice.....meh Quote
RicoS321 Posted January 17, 2019 Report Posted January 17, 2019 Think he's actually left footed,but seem to remember us playing him at R/B?? Yes he did play right back for us. I actually thought he was a right footer playing at left centre half for St J, but I'm probably wrong Quote
Guest kiriakovisthenewstrachan Posted January 18, 2019 Report Posted January 18, 2019 Seen a post on Facebook claiming Wigan manager has contacted DM to say the stories were nonsense Saw McInnes on the news last night confirming that this story was garbage. Got me thinking that Shinnie has a real decision to make in terms of his international aspirations. He is a regular now in the Scotland squad albeit he is a bit part player for them. If he does end up somewhere in the bottom portion of the English championship with a Wigan-like team I reckon he could probably kiss goodbye to his international career but if he stays with us and is still in the spotlight then he could eventually end up with quite a number of caps. Cash or caps??? Quote

DantheDon Posted January 18, 2019 Report Posted January 18, 2019 I think history’s proved that playing in the English lower leagues can only enhance your chances of a Scotland call-up. Seems to depend on the manager. Under Strachan I would agree and i think it was one of the things that alienated him from the scottish fans. Mcleish seems to be giving scottish based players a chance though,which is as it should be. Quote
tlg1903 Posted January 18, 2019 Report Posted January 18, 2019 It's not like shinnie has anything to prove for scotland either, he's done just fine in all apearances. Quote
Stewart Posted January 18, 2019 Report Posted January 18, 2019 Greg Stewart back but it's just another loan. Quote
Dunty Posted January 18, 2019 Report Posted January 18, 2019 Greg Stewart back but it's just another loan. Must be in negotiations over a permanent contract, otherwise why else would they send him on loan after recalling him from Killie. Loan is probably so he can play this weekend. Quote
