Shay McCartan

He's not been dealt a decent hand so far at City. Collins said the door was open for him but he wisely ignored him and went to Lincoln doing his best to stay there. Bowyer brings him back saying he's in his first team plans and then never gave him a look in. Hopefully Stuart can provide something more for him to prosper otherwise we have indeed wasted the £250k outlay.

 

Sorry but you have soft tossed this one up knowing I wouldn’t be able to resist.

Unless of course your name is McCall and the club is Bradford City in which case you get 5 or so years (inc current contract) across 3 different spells.

Marshy77 you naughty boy you!

 

So are you saying @marshy77 is a soft tosser? Crikey, that escalated fast.

 

I think it's a bit late now to be worrying about the 250k - I think we can consider that money wasted even if he fires us to promotion, since he's barely featured for two years. He wasn't signed for a League Two promotion battle, he was signed for a League One promotion battle and that is a long, long way off becoming a reality, much less with Shay in the team.

But equally, I don't see why the price tag is relevant to Shay anymore, it's so long ago that probably no one can conceive us spending that kind of money anymore. The challenge for Shay is becoming a first team player rather than a fringe player. He looks to be getting there?

 

He hasn't featured much because he has been dreadful / anonomous in most of the games he has played.

He also plays in the awkward Billy Clarke / Jack Payne position.

Waste of £.
