Connor Goldson signs on a 4-year deal

[Withdean11]

Uwe and Goldson for Dunk. I'd be delighted with that, In profit (probably) and strengthened the squad.

 

[Brian Fantana]

Looks like really good news - Any idea on a fee?

£500-750k seems to be the rumour on the Shrewsbury board.

 

[Albumen]

That's 2 player of the seasons we've grabbed in a row.

If he thinks Rea isn't ready we need 4 CBs.

Get him in.

 

[MattBackHome]

I'll take that if it's true.

 

[Jimmy Grimble]

Had him in my Football League Fantasy team last year - he was a very useful points scorer. On that basis, sign him up!

 

[Bladders]

Do not know how good he is, but he seems like a loyal lad, who wants to earn his money. For that reason I like him already.

Seems like a smart lad, wish more young players would play first team football rather than Premiership reserves.

This is only worth doing if we spend the Dunk money on players we need. There is no point selling Dunk, and being happy with the replacement without reinvesting the money into the team. Yes I understand that some of the Dunk money may have already been spent along the way. But certainly not all of it, we could definitely do with another winger at the very least. Bloom seems to be going for it this year, FFP has been relaxed so we can spend a little more and in my view our spending hasn't finished yet. It would also be good to get a winger in and possibly another signing, before Dunk goes.

PFA team of year and player of season.

Why is he not good enough for them?

Player of the year for them last year. Too good for them I suspect.

According to Wikipedia he played over 40 times last year and twice this season so far?

My mistake, I got confused

 

[El Turi]

He's very highly rated and quite a few Championship teams have been interested in him by the look of it so he'd be a very good signing.

If we get this guy in for under one million and get over 5 for Dunk (if he is indeed off and this isn't just another addition) and we use some of that money to secure a striker and a winger then that will represent excellent business by the club - as sad as it is to see a Brighton lad go

There are no guarantees that we'll get what we want, but they are trying to spend it.

Has it been relaxed? I didn't know that, have you got a link if it has?

Bloom isn't going for it. All our spending is within budget. Sunderland and Leicester staying up made us MILLIONS. £10m for Ulloa is the obvious one and then Buckley, Barnes and Bridcutt fees.

It's worth letting Dunk go because a) they'll triple his wages and that's going to turn his head. b) because the £5m fee for him is fantastic value for us. Uwe and Goldson would essentially be his replacements and and leave us with money in the bank. Money that may well mean we can make a move for Tex/winger/striker etc.

Shrewsbury fans seem to rate him very highly, but they reckoned he was off to QPR- http://blueandamber.proboards.com/thread/90867/connor-goldson

My point exactly, although, spending it before Dunk goes would mean the prices for these types of players aren't jacked up.
I think Bloom is going for it, in a Bloomish way.

Be prepared for one catastrophic mistake per game.

Not unlike Dunky then.

I know Connor pretty well. He's my friend's best mate and i know we've been looking for about a year. Weirdly enough, i was on the phone to said friend on the way to Huddersfield last night. He told me we had contacted Shrewsbury last week to submit an enquiry. I know he would certainly be interested in the move to us. I'm not claiming to know the ins and outs of his life, but i do know him particularly well. I assumed with the signing of Hünemeier that we would have dropped our interest.

Connor is a great lad and i don't actually think he realises how good he really is. He captained Shrewsbury in Liam Lawrence's absence and showed great leadership qualities at such a young age.

He'd be a fantastic addition and if Dunk is off, a brilliant replacement for him. Would cost a fraction of what we would get for Dunk

Like for like Dunk replacement then. Except this one wont cost us £5m!
