As I say, European football or not, I'm not sure choosing Celtic over a League One team can be seen as a bad career move, really. I’ve never blamed him for leaving Wednesday, just his choice of club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was February though, plenty of time for better placed clubs to come through if he’s that good. The way things have gone since Exeter it’s perhaps as well he took their offer. Anyway not going through all that again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A move to Celtic to train with better players, in a more professional setup, is surely an improvement on what he'd get at Wednesday. And that's to say nothing of the wages on offer, which I imagine dwarf ours. It would be a brave 20-year-old who'd turn that down in the hope of a better offer, knowing that one injury could be the end of it all. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If my son were offered the same choices I’d have advised him to choose Celtic every time. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aussieowl87 Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 Celtic did something similar a good five or so years ago with a relatively untested Australian, Tom Rogic. He was just cutting his teeth in Australia's A-League at the time, and had managed maybe one full season before Celtic became interested. He is streaks above where he would have been had he stayed in Australia for longer. Same read for Aaron Mooy. Both played against each other before each earning European moves. Development will come, as previously mentioned, with a better training set up against better players... Rogic's appearances: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that Shaw will be playing in them. And no matter the competition playing in Europe is a good thing even if it’s the Europa League. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manwë Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 1 hour ago, S72 Owl said: Wouldn’t be surprised if we got him back on loan next season. Doubt it. Celtic had signed Shaw without Wednesday's consent, so there is unlikely to be a sell/loan-back agreement in place. We all know how Wednesday have acted (wrongly or rightly) against the likes of Hirst Jnr, so I doubt Shaw would be welcomed back. He's currently dropped, possibly due to form or due to alleged criticism of the manager, or something else. As @striker above says, "no thanks". We would, yet again, be the creche for other clubs to develop their players that have little or no chance of making it in the top divisions. We get the risk, they get the reward if there is one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
