Connor Goldson signs on a 4-year deal

[maltaseagull]

That depends if you trust the recruitment system and so far they have done a good job especially just recently with Hune. This summer we have been far more active in solid acquisitions than at any time in the Amex era and well before the end of the window. We seem ahead of the game this summer so I can only trust that they know what they are doing.

Careful! You will called a licker by those who know more than us

 

[Dorset Seagull]

Very reliable.

I've spoken to a few people and it's pretty safe to say it's 500k deal altogether plus a small sell on clause.

I am a bit annoyed that you've got him so cheaply.

Perhaps this allowed the lad more from the deal in terms of wages or signing on fee. Seems like he has earned that

 

[Millshrew]

Another Shrews fan here, he was loved by the town fans. Quality footballer, pace and height. You don't see many lads of his age that have played over 100 games at centre half and captain of a team on many many occasions. Makes the odd mistake but the 1 a game that have been quoted by other town fans isn't accurate. He's a class act, will definitely be keeping an eye out for your guys score on a Saturday. Great coup and I hope he plays. Also Elliot Bennet has said its a good move for him on Twitter last night, wouldn't surprise me is Connor has spoken to him before signing.
All the best for the season guys!

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

Very happy with this - surely Dunks replacement given age and potential.

 

[Tony Towner's Fridge]

and yet the club hasn't made any more money available this summer compared to a year ago...



...Honest.

When you look ast that list it shows thta we have now got our transfers right. Cover in nearly all positions, a 'generally' younger more able and agile squad.

Excited moi? Oui!

Brilliant. A Shrewsbury town defender to replace our top goal scorer and future England player at defence.

I am really excited by this.

Do you rely think Dunk is all that? I am not overly bothered by England these days but if he ends up at the heart of the defence, I despair for England.

 

[Beach Hut]

He looks a very good prospect to me

Moi aussi.

I'm just wondering why we had to pay top dollar to watch so much dirge last season.

The only extra money the club has received is a little bit of 'staying up' bonus.
Plus all the money it didn't spend on goal and win bonuses.

Yet this season we have an exciting team pretty much ready to go, while last season was all about scratching around for hand outs.

Our 2nd XI is already as good as last years starting XI

Plus money re Ulloa/Leicester staying up (Buckley?).......no Mr Burke around to mastermind its spending

Why you no read


The 'stay up' bonus money will be just a small percentage of the cash the club had already banked, but didn't spend, a year ago.
Granted the individual bonus money could have ended up as quite a substantial sum, that previously I hadn't thought of

 

[B.W.]

Welcome Connor. He looks a great prospect, lots of experience for his age, sought after by other clubs at our level. We have also got Dunky's replacement in early, so great work again by our new Recruitment team. What's not to like?

Baldock and Stockdale were pretty expensive "hand outs".

velly solly i read that as the amount we would get for still being in the championship...silly me

 

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

Top signing, Hughton really building his side now. Great we are getting young talent to pick our club.

 

[jameswestport]

****ing Nice One Bruva!

[hans kraay fan club]

The Shrewsbury fans posting on here, and on their forum, and on twitter, have shown an enormous amount of CLASS over this transfer.

I hope that ours can show half as much if and when Dunk moves.

 

[casbom]

New figures being bandied about now on their forum, £250 up front, £100k over the next 12 mths, £125k when reaching 25 appearances, another £125k when reaching 50 appearances, and a 15% sell on clause.

So basically £600k with a 15% sell on clause.

Or one German centre half.
