John Madejski's Wallet I thought Gomes made a point of saying he (depressingly) rates Ilori really highly


He would say that leading up to a January transfer window, whether he rated him or not.
You don't put your goods in the shop window and then say they aren't very good.

Unless you are Gerald Ratner (https://www.theguardian.com/business/20 ... 92-archive).

O’Shea is good to have about the place with his experience


Is he? Its not really working is it? 3 relegations in a row at this rate

Hound IMO O Shea and McShane should not be considered for the first team. Both are constantly injured, and both not up to the job. Fair chance McShane has already been given his cards

+1

O'Shea, as a 37 year old has been is only worth playing if he's significantly better than everyone else. He isn't. At all.

And no real sign of improvement in ability of nous for any of our first team defenders IMO.

Sunderland last year hardly stood out for their team spirit or defensive organisation either did they?

So why are we signing Ejaria then? I don't know what it is with us signing ex Sunderland players but we have at least five in our squad

FTR O'Shea hasn't even been that bad this season, I don't think he should be playing in the Championship but he's OK as a squad player, he can pick out a pass and understands the game well, pace is a major problem though

Regarding Ilori, we've looked a lot more solid without him than with him, even against QPR he still set them up for 3 decent chances which they fluffed. Please get rid

He's got to go. We should be looking to accept any offers for any players in this window (without being ripped off obviously).

I'm sure signing Ejaria is nothing to do with the great team spirit shown at Sunderland. Who are the 5+? Mannone, Meyler, O'Shea....after that I'm struggling....

O Shea isn't ok as a squad player as he is constantly injured. Injured warming up on Saturday for the second time this season. Slow, unreliable, generally not very good. Can pick a pass? Maybe to his fellow centre back 10 yards away. Been an awful signing.

Awful is harsh, whatever you say he has had a few good games this season, most noticeablely Hull and QPR, no-one was really expecting him to do much considering he just had back to back relegations with Sunderland. For a club with a long term ambition to get to the Premier League, he wasn't the right signing but calling him awful is wrong IMO

McShane also played for Sunderland and I was sort of assuming we already had Ejaria so that's the five

ah right you are. He did indeed play for them 10 years ago :)

He did do ok vs Hull, but then got himself sent off. QPR I didn't watch so can't really comment, but will give you that. So 2 decent-is performances, some dross, and a lot of time on the physio room. No doubt at decent wage as well

Seems a bit strange even mentioning that McShane is "ex Sunderland" - he last played there 9 or 10 years ago. 6 years ago for Meyler.

We also seem obsessed with signing ex Hull players and ex Man Utd players.

It’s as if most players play for quite a few clubs in the course of their career !

I know McShane, Meyler and the like haven't ripped up trees while here, but playing a hundred games in the PL is hardly "rubbish journeymen" level.

Players are essentially self-employed with a limited time to do as well as they can. So if they aren't getting game time, and have no prospect of it, they have to move on. Given the high turnover of managers, who want to bring in their own players, it's not always their choice either.

It's not like we show any loyalty to them - take a look at what gets said regularly about McCleary for instance - he's been here for over 6 years, is still a useful option off the bench, has never done anything even remotely unprofessional or disloyal - but is fit for nothing but glue factory according to some.

I respect McCleary for what he's done for us over the years but he's so past it now it's unreal. He's scored 1 goal for us since the end of 2016, I get that he's been injured for some of it, but that is still a really poor record for a winger

Awful isn't harsh at all - he's been oxf*rd shit. Which any half wit could have predicted. Tragically bad signing. He's 37 ffs.

Give me any other Champ CB instead of him.

I'm bored of this argument now

Answer me these four questions

1. How many times has O'Shea started for us this season
2. How many games have we kept a clean sheet this season?
3. How many times has O'Shea started in those clean sheet games?
4. How many clean sheets have we kept without O'Shea?

So no, he hasn't been awful

1. 9 times
2. One, as he was red carded in one and therefore didn't play a part in that achievement. He was also hauled off early in the other.

There's absolutely no way of defending his signing - we were able to do better than him in the summer and we didn't and it's part of the reason we are where we are now.
