Todays Shankland thread

[Thornliebank_Bear]

We are at the stage where it would be fkin stupid to ignore the boy its the most obvious signing ever.

I hope we have made it clear to the lad we want him and to sit tight dont sign anything.

Football is a simple game, we cant score, hes a quality finisher, the boys a player.

Lets get him in, get him up front, lets get some goals. Maybe its a long shot but it might just win us the title even with refs cheating all the time and performing for the media a player like LS probably means 3 points in tight games like last nights.

 

[WalterSandy]

Im in sign him up but another stiker also !

 

[themightyi]

Are you his Da?

 

[Bear of Burnside]

Have you changed your avatar to a picture of Shankland?

I'm sure Mark Allen will be on the phone to Ayr Utd tonight.

 

[Marko123]

Not sure if it has already been mentioned on the other thread(s) but an Ayr supporting mate of mine told me there’s a strong rumour going around that Rodgers/Celtic asked Shankland to visit Celtic Park for a “discussion” and Shankland politely told them no thanks.

 

[Commodore Carbuncle]

Hasn’t he signed for Swansea?

 

[Vamos_buffalo]

Hasn’t he signed for Swansea?

Thread on it the other day apparently

He is a proper bear.

And will be wise enough to know he won't be short of decent offers

 

[Konkey Dong]

Wait aren't you the guy who has been telling us it's a "no brainer" to sign Josh Magennis for years now?

 

[Thornliebank_Bear]

Hasn’t he signed for Swansea?

Not yet, unless ive missed something.

Nowhere near good enough.

 

[Commodore Carbuncle]

Why the fuck has the OP changed his avatar to Shankland?

Maybe that’s him

 

[Commodore Carbuncle]

Nowhere near good enough.

You don’t know that, no one does.

 

[Jjbscotty]

Nowhere near good enough.

You basing this on his terrible strike rate?

 

[Thornliebank_Bear]

Why the fuck have you changed your avatar to Shankland?

Hes my boy.

 

[Bluetac 73]

Maybe that’s him

Or his agent.

Does he have one?

 

[11huistra11]

It seems relatively risk free. But if we do sign him he can’t be the only striker we bring in next month

 

[thornhill bear]

must admit I thought the move to Swansea was a done deal

 

[Zwingli'sSausages]

He is actually scoring goals for fun.


I’m in

 

[E10H]

Hes my boy.

He's a natural now, get him signed.

 

[Blue Max]

Hes my boy.

Someone that actually shoots from outside the box! I think it would be a very low risk signing. If he does an Andy Robertson and proves that he can make the step up then we're laughing.

 

[Gary]

You just know if we don't sign him he will go on and score a barrel load for whoever else.

 

[imvaison]

About time the thread popped up or I would have been forced to do it myself!

Seriously though, get the guy signed up. Would probably have made a difference alongside Alfie as a substitute yesterday against Hivs.

 

[Boab4]

You basing this on his terrible strike rate?

He's found his level

Nicky Clark scored loads in that league too.

 

[RDFM]

Cannot wait to see him at Ibrox, in 3 years for St Johnstone when he flops at Swansea.

 

[Donsky]

I think Ryan Hardie is better tbh

 

[nelster]

I think Ryan Hardie is better tbh

Ryan Hardie is 2/3 years younger and playing regular in a league above

The whole thing is hysterical

 

[Zwingli'sSausages]

He's found his level

Nicky Clark scored loads in that league too.

Has he?
How do you know that?

Nearly 30 before the winter break. There’s not a huge difference between the top of the championship and the bottom of the spl.

 

[Jjbscotty]

He's found his level

Nicky Clark scored loads in that league too.

No he scored loads in the division below that.

 

[Swiss]

I think this would be an excellent signing, low risk and a player who would make a huge impact especially coming off the bench. He seems very much like a boyd type signing we need. If we can get a quality striker in like Solanke and shankland I would be very happy along side attacking midfield reinforcements

 

[RDFM]

Clark scores at a rate of roughly 3 and a half games in the championship for his career. The fact that he scores that frequently is enough to bin this idea for moi.

 

[Kaiserweiss]

Not for me

 

[Kaiserweiss]

Should we also Dobbie

 

[bigbluenose]

He's found his level
OK then

 

[M@x]

He's found his level

Except Clark scored his in league 1.

 

[bigbluenose]

Irrelevant comparison so every lower league strike won't make it because Nicky Clark never .
That makes Zero sense none.

 

[Roger Smith Loyal]

It's a strange one for me. Scored a barrel load in the division below us, so did Nicky Clark.

I see he made 17 appearances at the sheep with 0 goals. No idea how many were starts and he was much younger I suppose.

Depends on the amout he will cost imo.

 

[Donsky]

Ryan Hardie is 2/3 years younger and playing regular in a league above

The whole thing is hysterical

Scoring as well and I don't just mean fanny

 

[dh1963]

I wouldn't be against signing him as long as we got a more "guaranteed" striker in on loan as well.

For the money it would cost, he seems a reasonable gamble to take.

 

[sammysun]

What have we to lose if we do sign him, last night again we failed to score and we are now second again, we cant put the ball in the net from open play and we cant wait for our strikers to regain their touch in front of goal, get talking to the guy or his rep and lets at least ask the question.

 

[Jimmy the Gent]

He’s not good enough, he’s nowhere near what we require to enhance our team.

 

[Boab4]

Except Clark scored his in league 1.

I stand corrected

Couldn't score for Aberdeen though.

 

[Tagsbear]

He's found his level

Nicky Clark scored loads in that league too.

No he didn't, Nicky Clark scored loads in league 1.

 

[47blue]

Shanklands scoring record cannot be ignored. We will have run the rule over him. If he has showed enough then we might well go for him.

 

[Tagsbear]

I stand corrected

Couldn't score for Aberdeen though.

When he was a kid, players do develop over time you know.

 

[M@x]

I stand corrected

Couldn't score for Aberdeen though.

He was younger then mate.

Tbh I've no idea if he'd do a job for us

 

[RDFM]

Clark actually averages a goal every other game in the championship when he wasn’t with us.

 

[Clubdeckg]

Free transfer, relatively small wages, what’s not to like?!

 

[Oduwa]

Should we also Dobbie

We absolutely should, if we dont we'll end up with bloated tummy.
