I'd have thought mutual termination may be possible judging by Micky Mellon's comments when he joined us on loan. It appeared as though Collins had been offloaded to free up funds for a new direction, a direction which Collins will more than likely not be part of.
I think the issue is they (Shrewsbury) believed he was out of contract at the season-end but seemingly a number of appearances triggered an extension that had been overlooked. So he's now a (potentially) saleable asset for Shrewsbury rather than a free agent as they were expecting. http://www.shropshirestar.com/sport/shrewsbury-town-fc/2016/03/25/james-collins-has-another-year-at-shrewsbury/ |

They didn't seem ecstatic they discovered the extra year in his contract. |

This is a good point. I suppose the problem may lie with how much they'd want for him though. I assume he must be on some pretty decent wages at Shrewsbury if he was used to free up significant funds and the last thing they'll want is to have a high earner just sitting on the bench. He is a good player, but I wouldn't have thought many clubs would fork out much for him right now. I guess he'll be given a chance to see if he can impress at Shrewsbury before they make any rash decision. I would certainly be happy to see him back at Sixfields though, providing it didn't cost us a fortune. |

Choices to stay at the Shrews as one of their higher earners but maybe not in favour or leave for a new contract at possibly lower money but longer term stability of f securing a 2/3 year deal.
If Shrewsbury don't want him they could agree a settlement and let him walk or hold out for a transfer fee whilst paying his wages.
He'll score goals no doubt and is still in his mid 20s. Happily see him join permanently.

Can't see Shrews wanting a fee for him if we offered to take him off they wage bill.

Me too. Contribute more in terms of work rate and movement IMO. Wilder seemed to have come to that conclusion towards the end of the season to. For me, these are the players we need: - Centre back with a reasonable level of pace. (I'm not a huge fan of Prosser - felt he got bullied too easily at Stevenage). I'd be quite happy if we started the season with Rod and Diamond, but this signing would provide some competition - Attacking midfielder/playmaker who can play in a three with Holmes and Adams. Key signing if we're going to keep playing 4-2-3-1. - Rico back up: Marquis. - Pacey striker with the strength to play a a lone striker if required. Ensuring that we keep Holmes, O'Toole and Smith is Page's biggest priority. |

Obviously a game of opinions but Diamond isn't cut to be a regular in League 1. Not if we are aiming to stay up anyway, not bad back up but we need somebody stronger. Agreed on Prosser was disappointed in him was expecting a lot better. |

Sorry to sound like a stuck record (or CD) but DCL. Ticks all the boxes.

Hardly figured at SU in L1 so may not be good enough for us. It's not as if he was at a Championship Club! |

He's a teenager with pace, power and great aerial ability. Considering that the SU manager was being criticised for his selections and tactics, DCL's lack of starts shouldn't be held against him. I'd be happy to have Furlong back as well.

Furlong perhaps but against us he was found wanting ! if DCL was good as you think he would have made it at SU - they are only a L1 mid table side! At the end of the day based on last seasons form; no better or as good with what we have already. |

You don't think Chris Wilder might like him and see him as a solid part of his Sheffield United squad? Considering he's the one who signed him for us, I suspect he might be a fan. |

Who is going to pay for the transfer fees for Pierre, Taylor and Akinde?

I agree that Rob Hall would be a good pick up on a free, not sure we would be looking to pay out the big bucks (to us) for any of the others mentioned.
Unless Smith is sold and then we would have some pennies to play with.
Any old timers released and would be happy doing a job lower down the leagues that people would be happy with?

Rob hall is a no go as he had an acl injury in April which can take up to a year to recover from.
It's a shame for him as he's a decent player and is now without a club.
I wonder how this works regards who picks up the bills now for his rehab?
I'd imagine he would have had insurance but you never know.
The only whisper I have is that a port vale supporting friend assures me that it is nailed on that page will sign Louis Dodds much to his disgust!
Personally I think it's poor form to raid your old club.

I have heard the Dodds one mentioned too and shoey he is out of contract, so far game as far as I'm concerned, as its unlikely he would stay with vale anyway on reduced terms. I would be looking for upper league experience in signings, people who gave been there done it before and done well. Its one thing wilder got spot on in league 2, assembling a squad for players with individuals who had already had experience of being promoted. Key positions assuming we keep the current squad together. A centre half with pace, who I a good talker and leader and a goal scoring forward to come in for Rico when he needs resting or inevitably gets injured. Plus some quality squad players. |
