    I'm a big fan of Shay and want to see him play a big part in the upcoming season as think he was underused last year.

    However, he was the only player to miss the first day of pre-season (with tonsilitis apparently) and has changed his Twitter bio from his location being Newry/Saltaire to Newry/Liverpool...two signs that he may not be coming back or putting 2 and 2 together and making 5?

    Was better in the last few home games that I saw which is more than can be said for a lot of the others. Whether that'd be enough for Edin to want to keep him who knows. Maybe not if he has moved away.

    He strikes me as the type that wouldn’t think twice about blobbing from training if he couldn’t be arsed. Seen nothing in the lad at all to suggest he’s even a conference player

    Be a good bit of business if we could get our money back on him. Weren’t Luton keen on him back in January?

    Back to League Two. This was too much.

    Question:

    If it's so, so, so vital that we get our money back for Wyke, surely we need to make up some of the huge waste of a fee on Shay?

    I am hoping Shay is here and gets an extended run

    If they with two upfront I would us him as second striker or on the right in a three. I also thought he did well in the last match playing on the right wing

    On the right in a 3? Jones or McCartan?
    Jones for me if no other options.

    The only role is see for him is either a strike partner in a front two or just behind a lone striker. Doesn't have the vision for a Billy Clarke type role but looks more comfortable running with the ball.

    Along with Poleon, would be looking to offload McCartan personally. Would have to take a hit on the transfer fee, but so be it. I'm afraid the lad looks out of his depth at this club and level

    Not if we're playing three centre backs, or we'd be the most open team on the face of the Earth ;)

    Seriously, how can any City fan rate this lad?

    For us he has been shit£.

    He joined looking like he was unfit and downhill since then.

    Sell him!
