Sideshow Tim 110 Posted May 23, 2009 Heard this from an extremely reliable source earlier this week.......Should Shrewsbury not be promoted via the play-offs Grant Holt is coming to Norwich. Good solid striker that knows where the goal is at our level. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When Saturday Comes 0 Posted May 23, 2009 I liked the look of him in the Playoff final today - I''d be pleased if we got him or Bishop. Or Simon Cox of Swindon. These are the exact type of players we need. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oli 0 Posted May 23, 2009 he''d be great but i wouldnt pay more than 180k for him, then again we probally couldnt even afford that Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
|BA 0 Posted May 23, 2009 Bishop is too small isnt he? Anyway we walked away from him in a service station last season when his agent made ridiculous demands to Doncaster during talks......same as Gow except it wasn''t a service station :o) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GJP 79 Posted May 23, 2009 Andy Bishop isn''t anything special at all. Decent lower league goal scorer for smaller clubs. That''s what his career is about. If he was capable of better he''d be doing it by now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

colneycanary 0 Posted May 23, 2009 Someone did this quick on wiki site:As Shrewsbury did not achieve promotion via the play-offs, Holt is rumoured to have a pre-arranged transfer agreement with recently relegated Norwich City. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
colneycanary 0 Posted May 23, 2009 Here is another interesting fact about Grant Holt: It stated that Holt was the player to cover the greatest distance per game in both Leagues One and Two, averaging 4.8kilometers per game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If 5 km in a game is the best, then I guess we''ll be watching a lot of musical statues next season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

milburn 0 Posted May 24, 2009 what did everyone think of shrewsbury''s young winger Humprhrey/s? I thought he looked a good player - could do a job for us Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Graham Humphrey 13 Posted May 24, 2009 Well he''s got a good name. He looked decent enough, not sure he''d be good enough for us though. But in a way I hope we sign him so I can get his name on my shirt [;)] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mister Chops 7 Posted May 24, 2009 On that basis, I think we should sign Augusto Chops from Sporting Gijon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jason Mitchell 0 Posted May 26, 2009 Need my eyes retested I read that as Gary Holt at first.... he''s in League 2 with Wycombe I think... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Old Shuck 183 Posted May 26, 2009 I thought one of the best players over the P/O weekend was the Shrewsbury keeper, Luke Daniels.Although young, very assertive and communicative, confident with crosses, and made some good saves, usually not so spectacular as you would expect to see, as he knew where to be at the right time.Doubt very much he''ll be available (WBA will want to hang onto him), but I''d say he was worth a look.Holt would be a so-so signing, hard working and gets some goals, but you wouldn''t want to put the entire goalscoring responsibility on him-but with someone youung, raw, and keen alongside him, it might work.
