That's what everyone said when we signed Roddy Grant to play alongside Chris Templeman . Roddy proved abody wrong though. Seemingly Shields has kept himself really fit so hopefully that and his experience will prove invaluable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dene Shields has been in the wilderness for the last 8 years and is now 35. I'm quite surprised that's the market Brechin are in, I thought by clearing debts last year there would be a bit of a push from you guys but I doubt Dene Shields is filling many teams with dread.

1320Lichtie Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 I thought it was a cracking signing, then I seen his second name had a D in it and his dad never used to manage Killie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
++Ammo - Airdrie++ Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 I thought it was a cracking signing, then I seen his second name had a D in it and his dad never used to manage Killie. This was exactly my thoughts.I thought it could have been the start of a few decent signings for Brechin.Hopefully that's the calibre they keep on signing.

'Steve Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 A lot of people reading a bit too much into Dene’s age. Unless he’s gone rapidly downhill in the last year or so since he was last at Brechin he is strong and fit as a fiddle. Looked excellent for us in a struggling side at the time until he picked up an injury.If he can stay fit I think he’ll be a good signing for us.

Opinions are just that. The proof will be seen after the serious ball is kicked. I just hope you are proved wrong. Saying that , I hope most coaches / managers have the same opinion as you and take us for granted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brechin City FC Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 3 hours ago, 'Steve said: If he can stay fit I think he’ll be a good signing for us. That's my concern. We already have Jackson who missed the majority of last season through injury and has previous. Shields is 35 and will likely struggle to play week in, week out. Hopefully we can get McLennan back on loan and I'll feel much more confident. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless Dene has rapidly gone downhill since 2 years ago he will probably be one of our fittest players, so don’t have any concerns about him playing week in week out. We shall see though.

underpar Posted June 22, 2018 Author Share Posted June 22, 2018 Regarding Dene Shields ......he will either be a masterstroke signing or this seasons Caldwell / Layne puzzle. I for one will give him a chance and hope it works out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

citydiehard Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 Dene Shields would've been an excellent signing 3 or 4 years ago,at 35 years old just think its a waste of a signing.So far Dodds hasn't excited me with his signings,can't wait to watch the first couple of pre-season friendlies to see what or how things are going to be different from last season.

T-zero Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 That’s Liam watt signed for East fife, I’ve not seen him play for a few years still decent ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gm_1982 Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 That’s Liam watt signed for East fife, I’ve not seen him play for a few years still decent ? Overweight and unfit throughout the whole of last season. If he can shed a stone or two he’d be a good addition but until then, no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
