calscot 0 Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 Mildly surprised at Dean Shiels leaving. Thought he'd make a good squad player for a season, especially as a sub. Hope there will be an additional signing to replace him. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

buster. 5,199 Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 (edited) Mildly surprised at Dean Shiels leaving. Thought he'd make a good squad player for a season, especially as a sub. Hope there will be an additional signing to replace him. I think he'll have been on more than was perceived to be value for money, especially given the way the cotracts were structured at that time. You could probably get a player to contribute similar for a quarter of the money and put the rest towards other signings.

Germinal 27 Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 If Garner has overcome his injury problems, he'd be a fabulous signing. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope there will be an additional signing to replace him. We have signed Rossiter, Barton, Crooks and Windass so I don't imagine Shiels would have featured much anyway. If Kranjcar arrives too then I think we have midfield covered and should look to address GK, DF at ST positions. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pete 2,499 Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 Good luck wherever Dean goes! Good player to have around and helped us in our time of need. Not really sure where you got that. He did nothing in the time he was with us and we were in the lower leagues. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig 5,199 Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 If Kranjcar were to sign, it would remind me of a signing policy from yesteryear which was very big hit or too often an expensive miss. We can hope with reason, that our improved footballing infrastructure (hopefully including due diligence) shorten the odds on such players being a hit. Yes, but in fairness, those yesteryear signings usually also came with a transfer fee attached. The ones that MW has made has reduced the financial outlay to their salary only. And I cant imagine that either Barton or Kranjcar would be commanding massive salaries - in Barton's case he was offered more to stay at Burnley but he wanted a new challenge. In Kranjcar's case he was playing in the 2nd tier of the MLS. Both players, if Kranjcar signs a 2 yr deal, have the opportunity of playing in front of 50,000 fans next season and, all going well, the opportunity to play in Europe the season after. How many clubs are going to offer those players that in their twilight years ? I doubt either really NEEDS the money so, for them (certainly with Barton), you see it as being a final chance to prove themselves at the highest level and with a new challenge. With these two signed plus Rossiter, Windass and Crooks I am excited - now, Mr Warburton, just get me a commanding CB and full back cover and I will be happy 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
der Berliner 3,747 Posted June 10, 2016 Author Share Posted June 10, 2016 Not really sure where you got that. He did nothing in the time he was with us and we were in the lower leagues. He was never a world-beater, but so too weren't the likes of Stuart Munro or even an Ian Ferguson of days gone by. He did his job when asked to, came to and stayed with us in our time of need, was thrown into a side of constant changes and of varying quality, but always gave his all. We all have a certain valuation of a player and probably differ when it comes to "good", but I'm still going with the above and add that he played 125 games for us (as an attacking midfielder, usually subbed on or off), scored 32 goals and assisted 23 more. http://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/dean-shiels/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/21421/verein/124 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was not value for money.At the end of the day,he was a poor addition IMO. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
