Why did we let Shorey go to WBA?

[Jimpav]

Seems daft to have not signed him up.

Big mistake

[White Noise]

There must be something fundamentrally wrong with him.

We had first dibs and never showed an interest and he has struggled to get playing time elsewhere or get lots of clubs interested in him.

[LRCN]

good back up, not better than konch by a bit though and would struggle to get into any top 13/14 team. disappointed we didn't sign him considering it'd only be 2 million or so, but firstly hughes wouldn't have had enough time to analyse him i think, and secondly we could well have made an offer that was rejected in order to look for first team football. wouldn't mind joe mattock from west brom now. 19 year old left back, very very talented player.

Joe Mattock...yes please!  Could backup Konch for two years and then step in...

[Mr Fulham]

Shorey wanted regular first team football, didn't want to be backup. At Fulham, he would have been second choice...

Can't see us getting Mattock. He'll play two or three years for WBA and then join Chelsea or United....

[Hazey]

Haven't we got Marsh-Brown in the development squad who can play anywhere down the left?
