Shaquille Coulthirst

Good point.

I can see that loaning out players who aren't 'any good' is 'the big plus side for the loan system' for all clubs seeking to get rid of dead wood to clubs that haven't done their homework.

It is true that clubs won't be lending their top prospects unless very young. Did we loan out Jack Payne.?.....Will we be loaning Harry Krpto this season? But that doesn't for example mean we didn't rate Jack Bridge when he went to Chelmsford.

Now if anyone didn't do their homework it has to be Peterborough as they signed Shaq on a 3+ year deal. But we often see their system of signing young potential players and selling them on given much praise on here. Naturally there will be failures in that system ( they lost £900,000 on Tyrone Barnett) which is often not mentioned but happens at every club in the world. Not just at SUFC


Shaq was highly rated by Spurs in his younger days and was a top scorer in their youth teams. Lots of clubs would have jumped at the chance to have him on loan. They obviously never thought the was dead wood as Paul Brush used to come RH and asses him every game.

The reason he has failed is not because of ability but his non existent work rate on the pitch. The one thing no one can coach is desire and Shaq has none. The last game he played for us v Plymouth, Coughlan and Brown spent the whole game trying to get him to move and make runs. Paul Brush mentioned in a not very complimentary way that at one point he had not touched the ball for 11 minutes.

Some PL academy players are on £5,000 per week at 18 years of age. If they come to our club they would be the highest earner. Some clearly think they have made it already. Still the most important thing in the game is a good attitude, rather than 'tude'

Still at least we can add him to the list of players that some claim will flourish away from RH...'because of our style of play' but of course never do.

I'm a bit confused, I keep reading on here that we should copy Peterborough in the transfer market as they sign all these "nobody" players and they work out great... This is the second thread on ex shrimpers recently (Kane Ferdinand) that didn't quite workout that way...maybe they should just avoid ex shrimpers

Assombalonga worked out pretty well for them.

Indeed ......... so some work out well .......... and others don't. You could say pretty much the same for all clubs then ........

Still time for Coulty to get his head down and prove he is a capable player. I think he will find it tough in that division though. :sad:

 

[Rob1920]

Surprised at that, he seemed to get a few games and goals for Posh, thought he was doing ok there. Obviously not..

To state it hasn't worked out for Shaq since his Spurs days is a tad obvious but lots of coaches and clubs had seen some good stuff in his potential.
I only saw him here and thought then that his attitude wasn't conducive to teamwork, bonding or top effort.
He got the Mercedes too young; and was failed by the Premchump academy system as much as by his own weaknesses.

Doesn't seem to be doing the biz at Borehamwood yet, mainly been coming off the bench.
