Jason Shackell

Apparently we've put a £1.2 mil bid in for Shackell only for it to be rejected. Sorry if fixtures, couldn't find it anywhere else...

A centre half? Curious...

 

[Gritt23]

Never heard of him, who does he play for?

 

[Betfair Bozo]

Burnley were reported as having made a bid. Us as well?

Derby County, He's meant to be their star Defender, my mate who's a County fan sounded a bit pissed off we put the bid in!

Derby. Has been captain recently.

£1.5 million seems a bit steep. Why not go in at £75k, that appears to be the going rate for a Championship club's captain.

CB ? is someone else on their way ?

1.2 turned down ? appears reasonable bid if true.

Yeah they offered a bag of Wotsits and a wank.

I bet you any money Barnsley have done this anyway.

Derby County. Strange as £1.2m was the supposed bid by Burnely that was reportedly rejected. Has the OP got Burnley mixed up somehow?

Derby, didnt he get a goal against us, I might be wrong but just stuck in my head as he is a defender

Edit: by the time I typed this reply it fixtures as everyone else answered

 

[Tricky Dicky]

Sounds a bit like a made-up porn-star name.

 

[lichfield seagulls]

The only 2 teams i know that have put bids in for shackell are burnley and leicester.

Maybe we are worried about, erm, well, y'know, what we can't really talk about.

 

[Surrey_Albion]

that is proper laugh out loud funny, I got some odd looks in the office

That's possible.

But it's also possible that, for instance, Burnley were offering £1.2m over 4 years, and we were offering it over two years, or their 1.2m was 1,175,000 and ours was 1,225,000. Or that their offer was declined because the player didn't want to talk to them, or the player has a 1.2m get out clause that only applies to teams in the top half of the table or something. Could have been that Brighton and Burnley independently thought he was worth 1.2m both put the same bid in unaware of the other.

This could make way for Barnsley to increase their £7.55 bid for Greer to a tenner

You are of course correct. Be interested to see the source, as if true it makes you wonder who Gus is thinking of replacing. Maybe more to the Greer story than meets the eye.
