Luke Leahy signs
New thread needed, it's nolonger a rumour
Matt Bloomfield has strengthened his squad with the capture of Shrewsbury Town’s captain and Supporters’ Player of the Year, Luke Leahy, subject to EFL and FA approval.
The 30-year-old finished as the Shrews’ top scorer last term with 12 goals in all competitions, and arrives with a wealth of experience with Falkirk, Walsall and Bristol Rovers previously.

Awesome stuff! What we have lacked in quantity we are looking to make up for in quality!
I’ve decided 11th July is now my favourite day
Now that’s an impressive signing. And a more than capable replacement for JJ in terms of set pieces.
Great addition and covers a few positions across the pitch. Squad is shaping up, starting to look good.
Newly released photo of Blooms as he navigates the transfer window:
I do hope we play him in midfield. Don't think I could take a number 10 at left back.
Thats one hell of a signing!!! Fantastic bit of business
He'll be 40 by the time he gets a testimonial season though, that's going to be pushing it a bit!
Will let him off if he's top goalscorer.
Has he ever scored from a corner?
@Twizz Stanley Matthews played until he was 50, we should be seeing players doing well beyond that now with modern tech behind them.
Cant find a more recent montage than this (sorry about the music) @StrongestTeam

It's a nice progression on the left-hand side JJ > LL.
Didn't JJ also depart Shrewsbury having been club captain? They must love us.
There appears to be no fans at nearly all of those games.
Oh wait, covid year. I'm an idiot.
Well we did have a left sided player in Kaikai that could count as our KK. Just need to line up MM & NN next!
Max Muller
Outstanding signing, thought he would have had ambitions to play Champiknship. Offers versatility being able to play left back too.
SS to be next👀
Going back a bit, but Simon Stapleton.
He sounds a bit Clint Easton in his positioning. Hopefully that is where the comparison ends and he has done all of improving already
One of my all time favourites. Probably a bit long in the tooth to resign now!!
He must be doing something right https://www.bristolpost.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/joey-barton-blasts-disrespectful-ex-8407785.amp
Barton blasting someone for disrespect really is something
Sam Smith ???
Looks a really good signing this, Shrewsbury fans seem gutted to lose him, but also wishing him the best, which says to me that he's a good person
Bingo
To be fair I'd see Wycombe and Shrewsbury as broadly similar sized clubs and would be surprised if say Josh Scowen left us to join them
Absolutely, but it's always funny to see opposition fans get rattled by little old Wycombe.
"to be fair" the majority of their fans on their messageboard seem relatively saltless about this.
If the boot was on the other foot, i.e. one of our players handing a transfer request to push through a move to them, I can't say I'd be particularly impressed either.
The link I've posted starts from around the time when the move to us was looking likely.

Wait a second…surely we don’t do contract length disclosures any more? Sackable offence?
