    Smile Shrewsbury fan (england)

    Hi all, Shrewsbury Town fan here, apparently we have signed a player called Nana Attakora-Gyan who plays for you or used to play for you. Have you heard this? And is he any good? Thanks

    Ah..Rumours. Well let's hope so.

    "Nana Attakora-Gyan HAS completed his move to Shrewsbury, just awaiting a work permit now. Hoping to announce the deal today if not tomorrow.

    Did some searching, apparantly (according to various forums and 'sources') Nana to Shrewbury Town is a done deal and is waiting on a work permit.

    What the hell..

    Also, let's not forget that famous S.T. super fan, Derek Smalls of Spinal Tap.

    gah, you beat me to it.

    mlssoccer has an interview up with him which presumably took place recently, so hopefully this is just bullshit.

    I don't blame him one bit...

    We're f*cked - but if I was in his shoes, I would do the same thing...

    Fuck, if Frei thought he was overworked before now, he'll have to work twice as hard with no centre-backs!

    ^ seems like it is mentioned on a few fan sites in the UK

    Though not sure how valid it is. For example:

    " Nana Attakora of Toronto FC WILL sign for Shrewsbury, the defender has been at Greenhous Meadow for the past 2 days and will wait for a response regarding a work permit before announcing the deal - likely to be later on in the week "


    Nana signed autographs for players at my son's Academy on Wednesday night so unless he hopped a plane and got there on Thursday... seems like the facts are a little off but it is mentioned quite a bit.

    Good news I guess if you think of MLS as a Developmental league for better players to pursue opportunities globally. Nana is a class act. I wish him well if this is true.

    Holy shit! Really?

    Wow. If this happened 2 weeks ago I don't think anyone is really shocked. With the injury and absences though this is a blow.

    You would think if this is happening John Molinaro would have been in there with a story.

    I am chalking this up to rumour for now.

    We need him on that back line more than ever at the moment.

    I am going to training this morning at BMO Field. Hope to either see if Nana is there and/or get a response from Winter or Mariner.

    I thinks it's just a rumour and don't think anything will come of it, just on a unreliable football transfer rumours website

    ^fo sho, the twitterverse is awfully quiet on this on (ug, can't believe i just used the word 'twitterverse') ... if true, we're pooched but we all knew Nana would eventually leave for greener pastures overseas

    I wonder how true this could be. For starters, it will be awfully tough for Nana to get a work permit in the UK due to his lack of national team appearances. Unless they have loosened the rules recently? Or does he have family links to the UK we don't know about?

    Although there is just under one month left where we can transfer Nana and actually get a return.
