# Exclusive: Palmer describes Urhoghide and Shaw Wednesday exits as horrendous

**In an exclusive interview with [The Transfer Tavern](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/), former Sheffield Wednesday midfielder Carlton Palmer has described the exits of Osaze Urhoghide and Liam Shaw as “horrendous”.**

Both players officially joined Celtic this summer after their contracts at Hillsborough expired, with the former’s [transfer confirmed](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/57683430) at the start of the month.

Urhoghide was [offered a new contract](https://www.swfc.co.uk/news/2021/may/owls-confirm-202021-retained-list/) by Wednesday at the end of last season before deciding to move to Celtic, while Shaw had already [agreed to join](https://www.swfc.co.uk/news/2021/march/club-statement-liam-shaw/) the Scottish giants back in March.

For Palmer, to lose both players for nothing is ridiculous. On the two departures, the ex-Wednesday star exclusively told **TT**:

*“It’s horrendous what happened with him and Shaw, both young players who are at the club and have been allowed to basically leave for free.*

*“I’ve seen a quote from Darren Moore basically saying it’s criminal that these guys were allowed to run their contracts down.*

*“You’ve got two good young players there who are the future of the club, future money. Surely you don’t let them get down to the last year of their contract?”*

Urhoghide, 21, and Shaw, 20, they both certainly did look like the future of Wednesday.

The Celtic duo were already in the Wednesday first team, a Wednesday first team playing in the Championship. In a division lower, you would have expected both to feature, continue developing and perhaps help the Owls win promotion.
