Paul McShane on loan at Barnsley

[Cantona's Flying Dropkick]

Barnsley sign Hull City defender Paul McShane on loan

Not started many games, so will use the two months to get match practice.

Any thoughts?

 

[OSRGull]

If we were to go up, It'd be a decent signing

 

[whitelion]

Looked really out of his depth at Sunderland. Good luck to him at Barnsley.

 

[Albion Dan]

Im not sure his 100mph headless chicken style would suit our team to be honest. Great at what he does though.

 

[Barrel of Fun]

He's a bit limited isn't he? Agree with Albion Dan.

 

[Simster]

He walked into our team a few years back but wouldn't get in now, IMO.

 

[Jimbo26]

He doesn't seem the same player we had. I wouldn't have him back

 

[blue and white army]

He'd stroll into our team, far better player than Greer and El-Abd. Proven at Championship level and is versatile as well.

Speaks volumes on how far we have come, that people on here are not screaming "sign him up"...Never seems to have really setteled anywhere for more than a season. Dont think he has a attitude problem or is a problem player(could be wrong). At only 25 maybe he just needs to settle at a club to bring out his best form. Imo I think he is a top end championship player but it would seem he just needs to find the right club to get on with his carrer.

Good defender, but not a Gus player.

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

Not really that great.

 

[Super Steve Earle]

Surprised we still have threads like these. We fans never have a clue who would merit a place on the Gus bus - we just aren't smart enough to work it out.

A few years back, this guy was an absolute cut above the rest of the squad, hence why he won the player of the season award (if i remember correctly). He wouldn't walk into this team based on how well the back four have done, but with Gus coaching him he could be one hell of a player for us. We've come along way, but to suggest players of his quality are no longer good enough for us on the back of a good half season is a bit OTT IMO. Remember what the majority thought of El-Abd at this time, McShane was MILES above Adam at that point.

Correct. I love threads like these. who can second-guess who the master will sign next?

Fair point. It looked as if the Prem was a step too far (or maybe a step too soon) for McShane - who knows what Gus could make of him. I'll stick with "nevger go back" - the lad was a legend - as things are now, they always will be. McShane in the 90th and all that!

 

[love Brighton.hate palace]

paul done well for us but times move on and he just is not good enough for our style

never forget the 79th

 

[Beach Hut]

He played in a different era to how we play now, best not come back

 

[Lady Whistledown]

His career has never progressed in the way we thought it would. Everytime I see him on TV it's because he's screwed up again.

 

[Edgefield]

He'd stroll into our team, far better player than Greer and El-Abd. Proven at Championship level and is versatile as well.

Except whenever I reviewed the previous weekend's goal, it was always the man he was marking who got free to score... He was a ballwatcher - never my player of the season, and never going to be good enough at top level!

But he was a 100%er and he did get the winning goal at selhurst.

 

[ATFC Seagull]

Completely and utterly ruined as a player by that guru of man-management, Roy Keane.
