‘Lawwell’s Signing Written All Over it’ ‘Low Cost Gamble’ Celtic Fans Discuss Capture Of 19 Year Old Midfielder

Celtic have managed to secure Sheffield Wednesday midfielder Liam Shaw on a pre-contract agreement, according to reports in the UK.

The 19-year-old’s current deal at Hillsborough expires in the summer and the Hoops have moved quickly to secure the player’s signature ahead of next season. Supporters on Twitter are very sceptical about the decision to sign Shaw. Not much is known about the player and many see it as simply an investment for the future; typical of the transfer policy of the current regime:

Shaw has been impressive for Wednesday in the English Championship this season, having started nine league games. The teenager does, though, lack experience having only made 21 appearances in senior football.

The Englishman can play in a couple of positions, though, as he is equally adept playing as a centre-back and in a holding midfield role. Whether he’ll be given first-team opportunities next campaign, though, it remains to be seen.
