CONFIMRED - Paul McShane

[SCIAG]

He's on a par with Pearce for Ireland though isn't he? Pearce hasn't played for them for a while?

Yeah that's me dropping the ball, they have the same number of caps since Pearce switched allegiances (though I think Pearce has been in more squads).

My initial reaction was, not good enough for the Prem so it didn't excite me

I think our days of signing anyone good enough for the premiership are behind us, in the medium term at least.

Looks to me like we're back to about the time when Coppell started to make the team his own after joining - picking up what we needed short term without busting the budget but all the time keeping an eye on the team structure a couple of years down the line.

Totally agree.

I think signing somebody with the same name as a mid-rate 80s comedy actor is the sort or trick Adkins missed tbh. One that comes with a ready made meme is a stroke of genius on behalf of Clarke. I have, quite literally dreamt of this moment. Youre going to be a joy to sit amongst this season - i can envisage where this is going already.

Good signing. I've got this hunch he's going to release another racist sex tape in Thailand though. Hope i'm wrong.

That was Paul Shane - though the jokes about his name have been made since page1

Well it's either Paul or....

Song for our Paul:

Paul McShane,
You probably think this song is about you,
Paul McShane,
I'll bet you think this song is about you.
Don't you?
Don't you?

Nice

Back in December 2014....

Imagine McShane and Ferdinand together

Was this a shock at it being shit or being solid?

I'm going on the former
