Graham Turner won't rush Shrews into panic buys
Shrewsbury Town boss Graham Turner insists he won't be rushed into panic buys despite the dearth of strikers on the club's payroll.
Tom Bradshaw is currently the only recognised front-man on the books, although the Town boss is hopeful he can swell numbers as two of three transfer targets he is homing in on are forwards.
While Salop's defensive ranks have been reinforced with the signings of Dave Winfield, Tamika Mkandawire and Alex McQuade, it has proved harder to bolster up top.
But Turner suspects business will speed up with a glut of players on the market after contracts expired.
He said: "The situation has changed with agents now asking us whether we'd take their players on trial and have a look at them in training.
"The power has shifted to clubs as there are a lot of players out there without employment."
Shrewsbury have been linked with Cliftonville striker Liam Boyce in the past, but Turner has kept his potential signings close to his chest.
But he added: "We're talking to three clubs seriously about players. But there's plenty of time, it's not a case of panicking at all. It's a case of being patient and picking the right ones."
