i am sorry if this or something similar has been posted about towns finances, but there has been a lot of discussion about funds available for players, obviously this does not include the recent transactions . you only have to see the post on QPR to see what can happen and i have no issues with financial prudence or having reserves to cover a drop in income.at least thanks to the this prudence we are in a position to get a loan players in January. saying that i wish we had gone for Shankland. www.shropshirestar.com/news/business/2018/03/08/shrewsbury-town-racked-up-more-than-400000-profit-last-season-accounts-show/

He wouldn't want to be stuck up front alone as he plays up front with a strike partner to play off, he's scoring for fun so he may stay put until Jan and then move to a larger side.

Good reading that and you would think our position is better still considering the ins and outs recently and the Woods sale hopefully set for January. Whether that will translate to success on the field however, is yet to be seen...

All summer Ive suggested we sign Shankland. I'd rather a punt on him than a punt on either one of our current 'strikeforce'.
We have the money, although as stated, I'm sure his value will rise above the 250k they wanted at the time..

I’d be amazing if many (or any) on here have ever really seen Shankland play. So no idea how we can judge him, based purely on Wikipedia stats.
Likewise we’ve hardly seen Angol/Holloway/Okenabhirie yet, but plenty have decided they’re s**t anyway. Morons

You'd be daft to dismiss Shanklands stats. Yes, watch a few games but my god, his stats are significantly better than what we've got.

The vast majority of his goals have been scored in Scottish League 1. People are scathing enough about the quality of the Scottish Premier League, apart from the old firm, so I dread to think how the standard of Scottish League 1 is perceived in comparison to EFL League 1/2.

Fair enough, but McGinley came from the mighty mighty Elgin City & he did ok..

We could quite easily afford to invest in a striker. Shankland or otherwise. We still have a considerable amount left of the transfer income that was generated in the summer. It would also appear that we are in line for another substantial windfall when the Woods deal becomes permanent in January?!
However, there is another way that we could generate income to increase the playing budget- invite investors onto the board. Quite simple. But there appears to be just one stumbling block with that idea..........?

Yes, watch a few games but my god, his stats are significantly better than what we've got. they are but he is also consistent and if he look at the kind of goals he scores show a range of abilities, he has that knack that good players have of just ghosting into positions and been in the right place at the right time .

Why the fixation with Lawrence Shankland? I don't recall Town having actually been linked with him.

Fair enough, but McGinley came from the mighty mighty Elgin City & he did ok.. There might be the odd one or two but I can't recall too many other strikers coming from lower Scottish league football in recent times and having a big impact in England? To be fair, McGinley had also been successful in England with Yeovil in the Conference before he went back to play for Elgin City.
