Nicky Shorey

[Gary]

Shorey belongs to that group of players who are too good for the Championship but not quite up to the Premiership, so spend their career forever signing for newly promoted sides.

Routledge, jay bothroyd, dj Campbell.

Routledge, jay bothroyd, dj Campbell.

Yep, Routledge probably invented the idea.

[Beasty]

Earnshaw, Darren Huckerby... Those two have had at least one good season in the prem in fairness.

Shoreys days were numbered when Ridgewell walked through the door, a defence with Higgs and Shorey makes me feel nice though. I sense unlikely!

[Hurricane Fly]

In fairness, he's been a solid lower-level top division player for a good chunk of his career, and is still capable of doing a job up there.

Not that they're worth owt these days, but he's two England caps, too.

[Captain Sinister]

Sadly not a snowball's chance in hell.

We simply cannot afford a player of his caliber; in the event he dropped to the Championship, we end up at a club with money, or maybe one of the sides relegated from the top flight (Wolves maybe).

Which Clubs in the Championship actually have money?
Leicester... but they have a decent left back
Can't think of any other rich clubs in our league.

Leicester, Cardiff, West Ham, Southampton, Reading (although the latter two will be Premier League clubs next season) and whichever three come down from the "Greatest League in the World" (tm).

[RedTom]

Out of contract at end of June, wonder of we'll be rumoured to be in for him again

[Beasty]

Probs see out his career on a generous retirement contract at Reading.

[chriscl]

We. Can't. Afford. Him.

[Beasty]

Maybe but he had better offers and held out for those. We've gone down the old and expensive route now anyway, in hindsight it hasn't worked, rather us get someone like Cunningham in or just play Freeman there after all we're gonna be middle of the road for a good few years now. Don't forget McClaren was interested in Shorey too.

[Alf-Inge of Fudge]

We. Can't. Afford. Him.

Maybe if we'd not have spent around 7m on mostly shit players, staff, payouts and wages this year we could be bringing in those types of players instead.

[Paul]

Yep, he's been released, along with a few others.

Thiiiiiiiissssss

Is Konch going back to Liverpool?

Is Konch going back to Liverpool?

No - they are going to lend him to us.

Can we sell them McGoldrick for £10M? or even 10p?

[Gary]

We're going to end up with Paul Robinson, I can bloody well see it

I'm beginning to hate Leicester, they are pathetic!

[chriscl]

I'm beginning to hate Leicester, they are pathetic!

Don't worry, when they don't go up next season they will be bankrupt by the end of next year!

[RealRed85]

Just seen Nicky Shorey on SSN. He's at a pre-pre-season fitness camp to get himself sharp for the new season and find himself a club.

I'll be honest, he'd be my first choice for left-back if we get taken over and have a bit of cash to spend. Good attitude as well by the looks of it.

In other news, Matt Mills has moved to Bolton, adding another couple of zeroes to his bank account...

[Davie]

While i'd love Shorey I would have Cunningham back on a season long.

Thought he had developed quite nicely by the end of the season, and I doubt he'll be in City's plans.

[Ravi]

I'd rather have Cunningham back than Shorey.

[OxfordshireRed]

another left back we miss out on....Reading bound according to James Henry Cross on twitter. Ah well, onwards and upwards (once the takeover is done anyaway).
