Another one for the rumour mill (if it's already been posted then,,, ooops)..
Was talking to a lad I know today and he said he had spoken to a particular agent of a couple of players. He said that Rotherham had apparently made official enquiries about Shane Cansdell-Sheriff & Terry Dunfield.

An enquiry to the agent or to the club?

Hope not. If Terry Dunfield was to go we'd get a fee for him. Can't see Sherriff moving to another club in this league tbh.

SCS dropped a division when he came to us, and is now a free agent - if Rotherham offer him more than we do I would assume he will be off

Would expect SCS to be negotiating hard on his offer. Rotherham entering the fray will strengthen his hand. Fair play to Rotherham as SCS would be a decent free to pick up.
Looks like a few clubs may have a few quid to chuck around in Lge 2 over the next months. Preston are heavily linked with LeFondre once their takeover goes through. Gillingham expected to land a fair chunk for Simeon Jackson too.

An enquiry to the agent or to the club? Not sure TBH, the lad I know said he was talking to an/the agent! I would guess that if an official enquiry was made to the club it would be on the Sky football updates, but havent seen anything as yet.

An official enquiry to the club for SCS wouldn't be necessary given that he's out of contract would it?

SCS Would be a big miss but Dunfield very very incosistant at times and peforms well below his own standards IMO Better and more consistant players out there.

We shall see.
-Terry Dunfield I doubt will go.
-SCS will probably go if the money's right and who would blame him? An uncertain future here with a new manager who may not want him or a club with a better contact offer and more stability at this moment in time?

This is a rumour from a lad who heard it from an agent! Could it be he's just trying to increase the offer on the table to SCS

Wouldn't be heart broken if Dunfield left. Centre midfield is one area where the Town have an abundance of options and yet it was probably the area which was most ineffectual last season.
Many on here have long identified the need for either a playmaker or a box to box midfielder neither of which Dunfield is.

Letting TD go might allow Turner, if he arrives, to bring in Gavin McCallum/Lionel Ainsworth who would give us a decent attacking midfield option

The new manager may want to let Dunfield go,when you look at the squad we have we seem to have a lot of midfielders despite it being the weakest part of the squad.I'd expect at least one of them to move on this summer to make room for new more attacking options.

the only reason that the centre midfield looked poor at times last season, was because we had very little in the way of creative players who could take the pressure off by attacking. Dunfield and kev mac had a lot to do last season, everytime there was a failed attack, the focus was on them because they were our first line of defence, they were essentially over stretched so mistakes happened. i think Dunfield is definately somebody we could make use of, it is only rumours at the moment, but if they turn out to be true, its a sign that he is a decent player surely? but with kev mac only just signed, there may be an opportunity to make some cash back on him before he has the option of going somewhere on a free.

If the Hereford board is to be believed, Aisworth, McCallum and Kenny Lunt, are all Shrewsbury bound.

Out of interest Monkee aren't the centre midfielder the ones who should be creating something, so based on what you have written they were clearing up their own mess.

Dunfield is very overrated. Here we go again Overrated enough to become an international player Doubt he'll have many more. He really is overrated, he had 5 or 6 good games last year and that made supporters idolise him. Now, to them, he can do no wrong. Very overrated.

lets be honest , we all seem to love terry these days but we wouldn't miss him , the only loss would be the effort and work rate he puts in week in week out .
but the loss of scs would have greater impact on the side and he'd be missed .

Now, to them, he can do no wrong. Very overrated. I'm sorry, I must have missed the part where everyone was calling Dunfield the next Maradona. In fact, I must have missed the part where people were over-rating him as well. All I have ever seen is an acknowledgement that Dunfield is a decent quality league 2 player, nothing more, nothing less. I think you are confusng Dunfield's popularity with people over rating the guy. Dunfield is a popular player because he does week-in week-out what all fans, you included have been craving. He puts himself about, puts in the hard yards and works damn hard for the team every game we play. Does this make him a good player? No but it makes him a popular player, and an important one for the side. Every team needs a Dunfield. One, not two, like our Dunfield, McIntyre combination last year. Also, why write off his international career? If you are in a position to do so, then I guess you watched his debut then. If so please tell me all about it, as I couldn't find a site to watch it. Also, as you seem so sure that he won't make many more international appearances, perhaps you can recommend some Candaian central midfielders who are better players. Well I mean, your knowledge of Canadian football must be pretty good. Considering you started a topic the other day instructing us all to stop criticizing the previous manager's transfer policies, obviously the alternative is to critcize our current players. Pure madness

Now, to them, he can do no wrong. Very overrated. Just like you kept on overrating Holden throughout the season. Terry Dunfield has proved to be a vital player this season and he will be missed if he does go. He would always put in 100% which you couldn't say about most of our players last season. He's a good tackler and can burst into the penalty area and grab a goal (Bournemouth) and starts decent attacks. If we do sell him I don't think we'd get much better in.

You weren't talking to Shrewswill were you blum? no mate I wasn't!! The lad has nothing to do with the club but was doing some work for said agent. It may well be a case of trying to stir things up but believe he was told in good faith.

Dunfield overrated? Maybe. But it's all about opinions and as usual some people like to think that their opinion is worth more than others. Some people really need to get off Ned's case.

I must admit, I did kind of put out a totally strong response against Ned's case. I do entirely disagree with what he put, I disagree with most of what he put's to be honest, but that's not the point. The point is that I have seen one thread, four pages in length, that has turned into two groups of people disgreeing with each other, and to use your words, "thinking that their opinions are worth more than others". I have seen another thread, two pages long go he same way by the same group of people I thought to myself, if that was me, Mr Bling or a couple of other posters did the exact same thing, there would be a queue of people ready to have a moan. Low and behold, the first one has come Maybe I was fishing for a bite but it kind of proves my point
