I'm not over excited to be honest. Having seen him a bit for Shrewsbury last season I can't say I was very impressed. He might have ended with 14 but he's not a patch on Harrison. Some Shrews fan are sorry to see him go but others are glad to see the back of him: "I’m not bothered he’s going, can’t play as the spearhead as he can’t keep the ball, hence why he wasn’t first choice last year. Nothing has changed, he’s also too moody and takes it out onto the pitch." And "I didn't rate him personally. I hope the deal goes though. Very one dimensional player. No pace. If it wasn't for his penalties, his scoring ratio would be pants." Not sure how many penalties he took last season but the above poster on Shrews forum clearly didn't like him. A lot on there seem to think they need better than him. He ticks a lot of boxes, good age, right height, L1 experience etc but I'd personally rather we took a chance on Danny Rowe. Hopefully if he signs Payne will prove me wrong but I'm equally concerned as I was when we were signing Bakayoko. Comments from Shrews like 'No pace' & 'Can't keep the ball' don't fill me with confidence and although he was their top scorer he wasn't first choice, mainly being used as a sub. Not a patch on Harrison? Bit harsh that. Granted I didn't watch him but he scored 11 times and got 3 assists in the equivalent of 19 full League games. Ellis scored 12 times and got 5 assists in the equivalent of 38. Shrews were up there, yes, but only because their defense was so good. They scored the same amount as us.

thats good going then if he was top goalscorer and was coming on as a sub. Give him 90mins and he may score more. Maybe but according to Shews fans he wasn't first choice because his all round game wasn't good enough. No pace. Poor technique. Can't keep hold the ball. Wins nothing in the air. Very one dimensional. The list goes on.
To be honest he doesn't sound like what we need at all. His only saving grace is his 14 goals but apparently a lot of those were penalties. I actually think I'd rather have Bakayoko and I'd definitely take Gaffney over Payne and I was never really a big fan of the ginger one.
He scored 2 penalties last season as far as I'm aware, both in the league, so 9 goals from 38 games from open play. 16 goals in 64 games in total for Shrews. 2 in 36 for Gills. 2 in 13 for ebbsfleet. 0 in 12 for Barnsley and a 1 in 3 record in non-league for Dover.

what bid have we put in for him I am not liked by most of you on here and if we keep knicking shrews players I won't be very much liked up here either That’s just paranoia. People just disagree with your views. I don't really take a lot of notice about what people say about me the forum is about opinions we can't all be right but time will be the judge of that

But gasattack all forums seem to be against the player that goes and to take their opinions as accurate would be silly, they are usually just jarred off with them at that time. They’re opinions that’s all. Most players who have left us have come in for stick from some posters although most people are fairly accepting of it. I suppose no league 1 striker will have the full range of skills. If they did they would probably be in the PL or at least the Championship. But I’ll wait until it’s confirmed. UTG!

You have to wonder why they are demanding big sums for their centre back yet happy to let this guy go. Rumours elsewhere are that they are going to use the money to buy Chaplin from Portsmouth. Meanwhile it looks like Coventry are about to announce Bakayoko's signing. What a merry go round!Exactly gas365, that’s what it is, and next week it will be someone else falling off it. UTG! Hopefully not us!!

The more I read the more concerned I become. His goal record isn't too bad but it sounds like he wasn't first choice at Shrewsbury because other than his goals he offered very little to the team.
Most of DC's signings have worked out but I have doubts over Payne.

The guy above doesn't rate Payne, but the next poster to comment clearly does "I'm genuinely gutted by this, I think Payne is the most natural finisher we have especially if playing with only one up front.... We have no other proven goalscorer at football league level I really hope we have a big player coming in " Was disappointed we were signing Bakayoko and had no problem with missing out on him. Much happier about Payne, and at least we have got someone decent in.

He might have nearly matched Harrisons goal return but other than his goals what else does he offer. Based on Shrews comments very little.

Took one away to Wigan, missed and didn't take one for the rest of the season I think.

This is more like the signings we should be going for not a Walsall reserve player We were probably going for both at the same time.

Jack Marriott only got 8 in League 2 the season before he signed for Peterborough.
