I would fear for Shipperley if it is him!

I have visions of the moaners around the ground giving him about 20 minutes of his debut before they start baying for blood...

Oooh! I think there's a pun going on here.

Just like all good criminal masterminds, I think Shrimperian has cunningly hidden the player in the most obvious way. Makes sense in terms of recent news too....

One copy of Billy Paynter's Top Ten Goals to the first to guess!

Arrggh, you're gonna make me read through all five pages of that again now aren't you!

Is it the (s)he thing? Have we signed a woman?

 

[MightyShrimper]

Well its not Mcdonald from Motherwell as he's started the game today against Celtic.

 

[palexander]

I'd prefer Akinbiyi - bigger presence, quicker, more powerful etc.

I really cannot see what Shipperley would give us at the moment that Billy Paynter doesnt (or hasnt!)

Goals?

 

[palexander]

There is no guarantee of that. Hardly been prolific recently has he?

Someone like Shipperley (and Paynter/Harrold) rely on good service from midfield - we dont have that currently, so I cannot see the benefit of signing another one of these types of forward.

Akinbiyi is a little like Ricketts in as much as he offers something different with pace and power to create himself a chance...

Still, all assumptions until we find out eh?!

 

[palexander]

...More on this... looks like Shipperley is going to Sheff Weds in a cash+swap deal for Owls midfielder Chris Brunt...

Looks like a done deal for Jan 1st.

No chance - Brum want £2m and looks like he is going back to Blackburn...

No Shipperley or Akinbiyi in the Sheff Utd line up tonight - despite a squad ravaged by a virus...

It won't be Akinbiyi, The Blades paid over 1.5million for him a year ago, and I would wager he is on 10k plus, so forget him guys.

Obviously not Trundle either unless his sending off was a ploy to get him to the Ricoh before the game finished.

 

[Sandbach Shrimper]

We dont need any more taget men- paynter,harrold, bradbury. What we need is pace, someone who can get in behind the defence. A goalscoring midfielder too.

We have a wiener!

Leon Constantine was mysteriously dropped from the squad for Port Vale today.

It could of course be though that we haven't agreed a deal with anyone and thus no attention should be paid to who did/didn't play for their teams today.

Hes genuinely injured, trust me.

 

[adam barratt is the best]

shrimp boys right pace the team lacks real pace in every position and we need goal s we cant score goals
