I'd say he is one of the most overrated English Strikers of all time. I hear people wank on about how he is some great finisher. What's his best tally? 11?
I think Shaw has shown a bit more than a 'bit of competence'. Sure there have been a lot of wasted English players but what has Shaw done to suggest that he is going to be just another name in the pile of failed Englishmen?
Can I have a free Playstation 4 if he doesn't sign within two days? Hell, let's make it more interesting can I have a blowjob from Scarlette Johanson if he doesn't sign within in two days? The sacrifices I make.
Or maybe it's that he has realised what his physical limits are and tries to avoid those type of situations where he knows he will be injured. I'm sure he'd rather avoid being injured for no real reason...
