plenty of rumours circulating yesterday, here's a couple of the best one I heard bust up in the tunnel at half time v Sunderland, cotterill heard shouting you'll never play for this club again town looking to sack obrien for gross misconduct for faking injuries anyone got any better ones ? Interesting rumours, but if the 2nd one is even close to the mark, then the lawyers will be very much in business.

My, totally without foundation, rumour. There's a buzz about playing, makes it worth making the trip from home. Coming all the way to Shrewsbury just for fitness/"gelling"/updates gets on a player's pip. No gaurantee of match action, gauranteed plenty of travelling to come to the club to get anywhere near match fitness. Coming up here for half a match just didn't cut it. In that way maybe the original reason given about the travelling has some "miieage."

I hadn't heard we were trying to sack him, however heard the same rumour that the club/Cotterill didn't believe that he's been injured as he has said he has been. Got to love a good Salop rumour, I haven't heard one like this for a while.

Could it be possible that he was the one that asked to be subbed at half time due to an injury? If that is the case then who's going to come in for him and we cant sack a player for being injured without solid proof.

Interesting comments, I'd have thought we would have given him away for free just to get rid of him. Maybe clubs are asking us to stump up some of his wages.

Maybe clubs are asking us to stump up some of his wages. you might joke but without realising you are correct for the next 18 months he can take home around 4k a week for just turning up several sides are probably willing to take him off our hands on loan and pay a grand a week of that until the end of the season that means we pay 3k a week to save £1k, ok maybe they meet us halfway, and we pay him 2k a week to play for someone else this is what happens when you pay a premium price for deadwood

I suspect when push comes to shove it'll be undisclosed and we'll do our best to move on and forget this episode as soon as. I appreciate he doesn't want others taking the mickey but because we have overpaid (for what we eventually got), doesn't mean others will make the same mistake. Think its clear he is a bit of a gamble considering the amount of time he has been on the pitch.

Remember Liam Lawrence still on thousands a week from Portsmouth helping us get promoted? Remember that well . Even so I think he agreed a sum from Portsmouth who were at the time well and truly in the sticky brown stuff , far lower than what he was entitled to . Still a goodly sum though . Even though he was well recompensed he certainly gave Shrewsbury Town FC value ; he was immense for us .

Is he fit or is he home sick? Personally I’d call his bluff.
Put the ball in his or his agents court, if he can find a club that will take on his wage release him but it’s down to him to find a club. If he stays and persists in faining injury let him rot but make sure he travels in every day, trains an competes for a place he might even ‘recover’ and decide the best way to get a move is to prove his fitness and play well..he’s not exactly improving his questionable reputation.

What's frustrating as Joe public is not knowing what the bottom line really is. Homesick, fallen out with the manager, feigning injury. Is it one or all of those or even something else?
The biggest issue for us as a club is having an expensive resource wasting away at home, something that could drag on for longer than we hope.
Portsmouth didn't want him to go, I do begin to wonder if that was indeed the case.

he's what you said when we signed him A convenient way to bury the Qatar saga But in all honestly looks a great signing. 10 league goals in 28 last season.

I believe his return last season was about 5 times the amount of career goals your beloved Pyke has scored Not that I'd swap them mind you, the O'Brien move has been a disaster from the off.

What is it with Town and strikers?
At least Jamie Cureton ran around the pitch to achieve nothing

I don't see the logic of not bringing anyone else in when we have got rid of 2 lots of wages.
As for O'brien we didn't even get 1 side of the story just some home sick BS and a load of rumours. All we can hope is the gills are paying most of his wages and he bangs in a load of goals so we can sell him in the summer.

I hope he plays every minute and scores a hatrick every game. Then we can sell him for a million and forget about the 6 months gardening leave we have just paid him for.
