Robroysboy Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 I think it's very good and something Portuguese and Spanish teams do with a lot of their youths. he now needs first team games, a move will give him this. I see it as a positive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robroysboy Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Looks like Maloney to Hull is going ahead. would rather he was in championship, surely a higher standard than the MLS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jagtag Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 I'd rather he stayed in Portugal for his development . I would rather that they loaned him out to another Portuguese team for experience of that league or even Spain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fringo Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 I would rather that they loaned him out to another Portuguese team for experience of that league or even Spain. Me too. A return to the UK on loan seems a backward step IMO after the progressive move to Europe for a young Scottish talent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seen him play once and he looks like a total dude but he's only played 3 games for us! Be nice if they saw him as a replacement for Stones - but might be a bit down the line.

Al1978 Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 The Chicago Fire Soccer Club has transferred midfielder Shaun Maloney to English Championship side Hull City A.F.C. Per league and team policy, terms of the deal were not disclosed. "It’s tough to see a player of his quality leave but you have to take the human aspect of sport into consideration," said Chicago Fire Head Coach and Director of Soccer Frank Yallop. "I’m pleased that the club, Andrew Hauptman, myself and Brian Bliss were able to find a solution that worked for all parties involved and I wish Shaun nothing but the best.” The Scottish international joined the Fire as a Designated Player on Jan. 25, 2015 from Wigan Athletic. “This was a very difficult decision to make but one that I felt I needed to make for various reasons," Maloney said. "I’d like to thank Andrew Hauptman and Frank Yallop for the initial hard work they put into bring me to Chicago in January. Although my time at the club was brief, I feel very fortunate for the experience to play for the Chicago Fire and would like to thank in particular my teammates for the time I spent with them and hope that in the future the club can become successful on the pitch once again." Maloney made his Fire debut in the season opener against the LA Galaxy on March 6. Maloney tallied three goals and added two assists in 14 league matches. The Scottish international additionally made three appearances in Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup play, helping the Fire reach the semifinal round for the third consecutive year.

JECK Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 At Maloneys age it's all about playing games. Not really fussed by this. He isn't going to improve anymore than what he is now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iainmac1 Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 (edited) Haven't really followed Maloney in America. How come he's leaving so soon after singing for Chicago? Edited August 27, 2015 by iainmac1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caledonian Craig Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 I am puzzled I really am. I recall Fans posting here calling his move to Chicago Fire terrible for him as it was a sub-standard league. Now that he has moved from there to Hull it seems that isn't popular either.

PASTA Mick Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Moving to America was a terrible idea and I'm glad he's come back over here. It's a terrible league despite SSN wanting to big it up because Lampard and Gerrard have gone over there. Plus, I have money on Hull to go up so it helps me out.
