Nicky Shorey

[hans kraay fan club]

Ian Harte off to Bournemouth.

 

[Simster]

No. I'd have taken the Nicky Shorey playing at his level of two years ago but not any more.

 

[Publius Ovidius]

It's going to be the Latvian bloke isn't it?

 

[Worthai Seagull]

who is making these signings ?

No one is making any signings. We havnt signed anyone. Its just talk .

 

[Box of Frogs]

Wait till Oscar takes over and see him bring in some Spanish flairista from Barcelona B!

 

[maltaseagull]

As long as there are no injury concerns

Oh and if he can manage the club when required.

 

[Ninja Elephant]

Ian Harte off to Bournemouth.

That's a shame, he adds a lot from set pieces and we are known to be very weak at them. Shorey also took them for Reading last season, but Ian Harte is a class above.

 

[Albumen]

Going by the Fantasy Football points, he was first choice up the 5-2 demolishing by Arsenal in December with McDermott deciding to prefer a tighter system (meaning they still lost but didn't score). While he was in the team he made a few assists but couldn't keep a clean sheet (bar one).
Definitely championship level now. For free, he should be a cheap option.

 

[JCL - the new kid in town]

i think he's a decent choice if the reason for only playing 17 games last season was tatical and not fitness/injury issues. He played 17 games last season in the premiership so is decent but probably only going to get 1/2 seasons out of him

No, would be a massive downgrade from Bridge.

Would rather sign a young prospect if we are going to show that kind of lack of ambition.

Lets be honest, unless we sign Ashley Cole anyone is going to be a downgrade from WB.

I advise you to lower your expectations or you might end up a very unhappy bunny by the start of the season.

Exactly what I was thinking and was hoping for!!

 

[crookie]

Would be a decent signing, I know his uncle pretty well, he is keen to stay in the South East, not as good as Bridge, but not many are, especially those willing to play at Championship level

 

[8ace]

Ian Harte might be good at set pieces but he can't defend.

Really? I don't agree with that.

 

[TSB]

Really? I don't agree with that.

He'll be 36 by the time the season starts. Way too old.

 

[8ace]

Really? I don't agree with that.

Yes really. No pace either.

 

[HastingsSeagull]

Happy yes, extatic no.......... would hope he could help Maxi come on through the year and then retire

 

[CliveWalkerWingWizard]

Ability and experience, so yes - my concern is that the back 4 we have at present lack pace. I would like to see one younger player in the line up.

 

[Pavilionaire]

I'm concerned that Reading released Shorey a full 2 weeks before they signed Bridge. This suggests they thought Shorey wouldn't be good enough for a promotion push in the Championship well before they knew they had a chance of getting Wayne.

I would feel underwhelmed with swapping Bridge for Shorey.

Bridge was only ever on loan.
