Blodge Posted 11 August 2017 Posted 11 August 2017 Pundits, some fans on here that want him. I suppose I'm going back a couple of seasons when lots seemed to think he was England material

I wouldn't read too much in to it, but I'd been told there are two players the club are after, both England internationals. Being realistic I was hoping for Smalling. Having read on here today, if other little rumours are correct, it could be Townsend and Shawcross. I was told that both are dependent on outgoing transfers movement though, which is a bit of a concern for me, since I think we're a bit light at the back still. Anyway, believe it, don't believe it, discuss it, whatever, I don't mind. My source is well connected but probably not directly so. Could be Kane and Sterling? haha.

It suddenly makes sense!
The People's Hero Posted 11 August 2017 Posted 11 August 2017 Same guy told me Hernandez to West Ham well before last season was even over. Wish I'd listened and stuck a few quid on it. (I think that's a great signing by the way)
4everfox Posted 11 August 2017 Posted 11 August 2017 Exactly the sort of player I envisioned Shakespeare going for. Perfect for our style of football, it's a yes from me.
SheppyFox Posted 11 August 2017 Posted 11 August 2017 Doesn't matter how bad he is, he'll be better than Wes. Get him in.

Ian Nacho Posted 12 August 2017 Posted 12 August 2017 Another lump at the back... We need a bit of pace.

That might be the case Sheps, but if you were Shaky, would you gamble on Shawcross keeping you in the job? I frigging wouldn't!. If we cannot find a better option, then as I said before - 'Recruitment Dept - get rid'.
cityfanlee23 Posted 12 August 2017 Posted 12 August 2017 Only worry is he's a bit slow, he's another huth really, I'd take him though.
Tielemans63 Posted 12 August 2017 Posted 12 August 2017 Would be delighted with Shawcross and Townsend to be honest.

I think you're right, but if I was Craig I'd have spent whatever I needed to get smalling in, he may well have tried that but ofcourse as fans we can only speculate I don't trust our defence though mate
lgfualol Posted 12 August 2017 Posted 12 August 2017 What happened to our interest in Mbodji. He seemed well up for joining us in Jan. Would be a great signing.

Realist Guy In The Room Posted 12 August 2017 Posted 12 August 2017 Shawcross and Townsend would be excellent signings. I'd be confident about staying up if we get them.
sk3since03 Posted 12 August 2017 Posted 12 August 2017 Reading some of the thought's against this reminds me of some of the negative thought's surrounding the signing of Robert Huth! He turned out to be a pretty solid signing This would be another solid addition

He turned out to be a pretty solid signing This would be another solid addition The few times I've watched this guy, I've never been impressed. If he's not putting the ball into row z, he's trying to put a player there. Zero class on the ball, Championship defender at best imo, never understood why he's played so long in the pl. That said, we should be making the signing of quality a cb top priority as Wes will let us down big style if pre season and last night is anything to go by
