Just interviewed on five live, said he’d had talks today re contract extension, mentioned the board and implied their concerns around his fitness. He said he’s fit, but we’d have to see what happened after tomorrow.....
This is key decision/ test for our risk averse board, so it’s important for them to look at the facts and numbers, yes McShane has an indifferent injury record but in our 7 league wins this season he has played in 4 of them! There is no doubt when fit he is a class defender at this level, we look a solid unit when he plays and the centre half partnership with O’Connell is formidable, and I don’t think we would swap that combination for many others. So even if he only plays half the games left that would be enough to keep us safe based on his impact so far, and certainly for this supporter that’s a risk worth taking.
Depends how much he's on. Agree with everything being said but McNulty will be back shortly and will be on the pay load regardless of McShane being here or not. Also when is Delaney back? Just questioning whether any available money could be spent better elsewhere.
Hope he stays and I think worth a gamble on his fitness, as he's quality. Here's his involvement in that 09 france v Ireland game cheaty henry handball incident. Apologies about the crap quality vid.
