Could have been any number of reasons as to why. Yup, definitely, such as COVID plus a certain important game against Coventry coming up.

Means trophies and guaranteed Champions League. Better standard than league one and no salary cap. We’re not seeing eye to eye tonight. My belief is he will play at a better standard of football and therefore learn his trade and improve his playing standards with us rather than Celtic. Yes, he may play in the CL preliminary rounds; yes he may win a Scottish trophy. Are they his priorities at 19, when he is a million miles from the finished article? I also believe we will pay him more. if we don’t and he decides to go there, good luck to him. That should give Brennan his chance, who could also prove to be a blinder.

Dandrewchaz Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 Same happened with Dawson. Linked with Rangers gets a bumper contract. Think it's often the agents or those linked to the players who start these rumours to give the players a better bargaining position. I'd say his development is better if he stayed (using the likes of where George Hirst, Sean Clare as an example of moves) are now. Grass isn't always greener - although the big negative is the shower that we are currently in. Hey at least he'll get opportunities if we're in League 1 next year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwellOwl Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 Be important to sort his deal, certainly has potential and we could do with him being our potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelham Owl Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 Can't see this happening. The lad strikes me as a proper Wednesday fan that would want to do right by the club. Besides, the quality of the Scottish Premiership is hardly any better than the Championship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also our record of improving players is not great whereas Celtic have a good record of gambling on potential and selling on to a higher level at a profit.

Just SMH at the incompetence that the club allows these situations to arise, should have learned the lesson the first time with George Hirst and the second third and fourth time with Fletcher, Fox etc in the summer He's been in and around the first team for a while now - but nothing surprises me with the club anymore Edited January 25, 2021 by Gob_Bluth 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be all about money...if Wednesday offer him 3k a week and some other clubs offer him 7k do you think he will stay? I would want to get set for life ASAP...just like hirst..if it all goes pear shaped they can start again in a couple of years... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without opening up the tiresome Celtic and rangers playing in England debate, if Celtic played the second half of the season in the Championship, they would be bottom half IMO.

Morepork Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 I know one thing for certain. If we don't secure Shaw on a new deal the academy should almost certainly be closed. If we can't see decent players under our noses and have the planning and foresight to secure them as playing and financial assets of the club there is zero point. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Jack Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 1 hour ago, SallyCinnamon said: Great. A potential multi million pound player and we end up with compensation. Question I’d like to ask is. Why wasn’t Shaw offered a new deal this time last year to prevent this type of thing happening? His potential would have been known to the club. Or at least I bloody hope it was - they work with him every day Because last season he was not near the first team. He will sign a new contract now he has made the first team. It's not long ago many on here saying our kids were not up to much. Now we are giving them a chance others can see opportunities for making the first team. Not before time too.
