Shrewsbury Town have signed Accrington Stanley striker Terry Gornell after he did a u turn he will NOT be signing for ICT.

Bawbag.

He probably realised he would have been out of his depth in the SPL.

Feck, that's a spanner in the works.

Now where do we go?

His loss at the end of the day. I'm sure we'll be able to find someone better.

If he doesn't want to be here, then maybe it's a good things he ain't coming. There's no need to sign passengers.

We will find someone else, we always do. We dont need someone who isnt fully committed.

But he was Terry's first choice, so isn't the obvious consequence that we end up signing someone who the manager thinks isn't as good?

Has Gornell signing for Shrewsbury actually been confirmed anywhere? I looked, and the closest I can find is that he is in "talks" with them. I can't find anything set in stone.

Butcher, meanwhile, lost out on 21-year-old Accrington Stanley striker Terry Gornell, who opted to join League Two side Shrewsbury Town.

Ah well, that's two strikers essentially lost in a day! But, life goes on.

Gornell hasn't signed for anyone yet as far as I can see, but it kind of sounds like we've given up.

Just speculating, but is it possible that this fell through for us because we discovered that Stanley would be due compensation? Tansey was also under 23, but we were able to get him free only because of a cross-border transfer loophole whereby Stockport hadn't offered him a new contract more than 60 days before his old one expired. Don't know if that was the case with Gornell.

Any English team will definitely have to pay Stanley, and perhaps the current position is that he has agreed to join the Shrews but they are negotiating compensation with Stanley before finalising the deal.

Did he not only sign for Stanley from Tranmere a year ago, so he came through Tranmeres youth not Accringtons? Therefore no compo.

The rat's become a shrew.

You have to remember that hes probably been put to the test from our players to see what hes made of. Perhaps hes not made of strong enough stuff to want to stay.

Maybe a shrew-d move on his part then?

Shrewsbury announced yesterday that they agreed terms with Gornell but the sticking point holding up the transfer is that they have so far been unable to agree compensation with Stanley.

Even if it falls through, I susepct the prospect of a move to ICT is dead.

This article seems to confirm that theory.
