Transfer targets

An offer of $1.5M for Lamin Sillah

Shrewsbury Town have gone to Nottingham Forest with a bid, and the supporters have gone to the internet with an opinion about it. Whether either changes anything is up to the selling club.

Transfer targets

Door shut on Arvin Appiah

Shrewsbury Town asked and Almería said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Ricardo Dinanga signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Ricardo Dinanga commits to Shrewsbury Town for another 3 years.

Too much change too quickly at Shrewsbury Town

5 signings in three months. Every one of them may be an upgrade and the team can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild that never appears in the transfer-window verdicts.
