I know its not been confirmed or anything as of yet, but your "new centre" could be out for the rest of this season with knee ligament damage, disappointing for him but hopefully he gets back to normal before he joins you next season.

If it is a done deal the sooner we confirm it the better

Re: Michael Shenton : Wed Jun 16, 2010 2:15 pm  

Even though he is the current England 4, signing Shenton wouldn't make me that excited, i dont rate him.

oh well he'll fit in nicely here then ..there seems to be more injurys here than the casualty dept at whiston hospital.

Cant please some saints fans at all. Solid in defence, pacey and British, with youth on his side. Shenton's will undoutedly improve in a better side and can certainly improve physically and add some size and upper body strength.

More than happy if we secure Shenton alongside Josh Perry and a new winger.

Re: Michael Shenton : Wed Jun 16, 2010 3:20 pm  

i too would be happy with another winger, although lomax look quality

Re: Michael Shenton : Wed Jun 16, 2010 3:34 pm  

I'd be VERY happy with Shenton for the reason's above.

I just wish we knew one way or another!

Aye. Shenton would be a brilliant signing in my book. Could do with developing a bit more power, but that will come with age. A fast centre with good hands who can defend. What's not to like?

Also, presuming he's not permanently crocked, it would be nice if he brought Richard Owen along with him.

I agree with all above.

If we sign Shenton I reckon his career development is similar to when we first signed Gleeson where after one season he became a very good player. In other words Shenton is not the finished article just yet.
