Yorkie Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 Mate of mine is a Stoke ST holder and is of the opinion that Shawcross is on the decline, which is what I'm going on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEMTEX Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 Maybe. Or maybe 100 years at Stoke has just taken it's toll. Time for pastures new. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 Manchester United midfielder Michael Carrick says he will likely retire from football when he leaves Old Trafford, ruling out a switch to his boyhood club Newcastle. “No, I think that’s (playing for Newcastle) passed now," he told MOTD magazine. "When I was a kid I was supporting Newcastle, I dreamt one day I would do but I count myself very fortunate to have played for Manchester United for so long. “It’s just one of those things where you can’t have everything. If and when I finish here (Manchester United), that will probably be it I think." Massive shame that he never played for us, like. Ridiculous that we didn't sign him when he went from West Ham to Spurs, and yet another one that got away. Great footballer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, even in 2005 when I read that in SBR's book, I was outraged. To make things worse, SBR wanted Boumsong, didn't get him, and he's the one we went back in for. We've been one of the thickest clubs going for years like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LFEE Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 Mate of mine is a Stoke ST holder and is of the opinion that Shawcross is on the decline, which is what I'm going on. I've noted a physical decline on the few occasions I've watched Stoke. Could be argued he'd be still a good organiser. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mole_Toonfan Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 He's never been that good tbh, average mid table clogger which is why he's still at Stoke. Still remember the times when Cisse lost him for goals like he was an amateur. So yeah I'm not excited as most seem to be. I agree his type is what we need but someone of higher quality who doesn't get pulled out of position so easily would be better. I don't watch enough football anymore to know who we could get or who would be available but I do know he's not good enough or change anything substantially.

Hes a good experienced mid table centre back, any newly promoted team would struggle to sign a better centre back than Shawcross Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEMTEX Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 I think my excitement would be based upon our current CB sitch, rather than due to any expectation that Ryshaw is a world beater. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
themanupstairs Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 I think my excitement would be based upon our current CB sitch, rather than due to any expectation that Ryshaw is a world beater. This! Shawcross, Mbemba, Clark and Lascelles would be a decent quartet in the PL. If Mbemba goes, we'd need another ball-player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 I think my excitement would be based upon our current CB sitch, rather than due to any expectation that Ryshaw is a world beater. Well I think that's how Rafa would see it rather than he thinks he's a world beater either. He's experienced, and is a proven Premier defender who can do the basic no nonsense stuff well. I would think that Clark is a younger version though, not sure if they would dovetail that well. Might be a concern about pace at the back if they were first choice pairing.

Marmoset Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 An average midtable premier league cb would be a fucking godsend atm, same in a few positions. Not every signing has to be a potential star. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
