Shinnie's return to Aberdeen could be hindered by Wigan's transfer embargo.
That seems a bit peculiar. Surely a transfer embargo means a club cannot bring in more players that they cannot pay. Selling a player would allow a reduced salary bill and if a fee is involved, allow funds to pay wages. Surely the embargo sanction doesn't stop the embargoed club taking in money and reducing it's outgoings?
They can still sell players and they can still sign players on loan or players without a club. These embargo's are convoluted, but there is nothing stopping us getting Shinnie if we want and we really should try and get him signed.
They might well decide that with a tough season ahead, he might be better to keep.
I wouldn’t worry too much about Shinnie….if you put an experienced player out on loan you are not really wanting him. Shinnie will be available.
Toni Teklic is the man apparently
Could be a good week ahead for us…a couple of new players by the looks of it.
Ester Sokler, a Slovenian striker will be signing today, according to various sources, none of which are the club itself.
Ester doesn't have a Wikipedia page, but he scored 10 goals in the Slovenian PrvaLiga (top division) for Radomlje, who finished 7/10.
