Some interesting players being released by Prem & Championship teams. Id have Mcshane back here...

Yes of course he could - along with Zamora, Ulloa, Buckley, Bennett, Cook, Elphick, Bridcutt, etc, etc. After all, they all meet the only qualification acceptable for new signings, don't they - they've played for us before.

Agreed, lots of very good players becoming available, fingers crossed we move swiftly...
Agreed. Nothing to do with him being here before but he has been a solid prem centre back for a few years. Age would be my only concern, be must me rong side of 30 now? Such a shame we couldn't push the boat out for van dyke when Gus was here

Nah yesterday's man and couldn't wait to get away last time. Not good enough for Hull he ain't good enough for the mighty Albion
I don't recall any 'bad' feelings when he came to the end of his loan spell. He won Player of the Season, if I remember rightly?

The 'played for us before' comment was tongue in cheek as I knew it would be brought up regardless. For me though McShane is a realistic target in terms of wages and ability, solid lower end Premiership centre back and he's 29 so you'd hope he'd have a good 4/5 years minimum left in him as a centre back.

One of the attributes that the team lacked last season was a certain amount of steel and commitment - until Kayal arrived, that is. If we could sign someone like McShane, that would provide another important part of the solid spine that any successful team needs.

the irony of it all is that mcshane must be 3 or 4 inches shorter than greer but is probably much times many better with his head.....stick someone beside greer who actually likes heading the ball..( reasonably important for a centre back ) and the guy might open up a bit...!!

McShane's release was nothing to do with lack of ability. I wouldn't be surprised if he joins another Premier League team. His wage demands are probably too much for us, anyway.

He did, he was immense but he didn't want to stay (understandably) so "tongue in cheek" I don't want him back! We could do worse as he can also fill in as a full back as well as central defence. Although I am hoping for signings with real pace all over the pitch and he is not one of them.
The current side has no pace at all, Lua Lua prefers to piss around with the ball before setting off these days and March seems to be too fragile to be a professional footballer. We need pace everywhere imho.
