Jim O'Brien signs on a two year deal. Attacking midfielder, how many now after having none, who is 28 years old. Ex Celtic, Motherwell, Barnsley, Coventry. http://www.shrewsburytown.com/news/article/jim-obrien-on-joining-town-3145570.aspx http://www.shrewsburytown.com/news/article/micky-mellon-on-jim-obrien-3145532.aspx https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_O'Brien_(footballer)
Looks a very positive signing and I think he will play wide. I hope Collins stays as he will definitely benefit from the better service provided by the likes of O'Brien and Sarcevic. I suspect Weso may be on his way which is a shame as I rate him. We are still short of a centre back and a striker but I am glad we did not go for Evans as whatever you think about the rights and wrongs of his case there will be a big publicity circus surrounding him for a while yet.
It looks like Weso And NKP might not be here by the looks of things. It was mentioned in the star in a vague sort of way earlier last week. I guess we'll see when the squad starts training.
After the shambles of last close season it looks like we are going to play hardball this time to try and get things sorted before training starts. These agents are the curse of the modern game and often end up doing their players a great disservice.
