Can't see how people can write off Shankland when he has never been tested at top level.I think given the chances he would have created for him he could do well for us based on his record to date.
Aye,it has to be hollicom. Think of the impact they'd get by spinning a story about Shankland coming to us. Ffs, get a gripTotal fabrication. No way we will be paying money to this club. On a free yes not impossible but I think hollicom are spinning this.
It's just embarrassing, isn't it? Real tin foil hat stuff.
Gaining traction.... ehhh naw it’s naw.... that’s your words aswell oooooftGaining traction again.
Could there be something to this?
If so and he is added as part of our strike force… is it a yay or a nay?
Bad business is the usual with us.It's maybe not good business, but it's certainly not embarrassing.
“ Maybe” not good business.It's maybe not good business, but it's certainly not embarrassing.
Boy was young at Aberdeen , never gonna dislodge first reamers at time.Nay.
Maybe last summer was the time to take a punt, at little cost.
I wouldn't pay what they'd be looking for. The guy flopped at Aberdeen and is unproven in our top division.
A panic buy? Not with 7 or 8 weeks of the window left.Bad business is the usual with us.
Maybe changing with Ross Wilson on board.
It would be a panic buy, if he cost nothing a year ago, whats the difference now.
Your opening line answers your question.Can't see how people can write off Shankland when he has never been tested at top level.I think given the chances he would have created for him he could do well for us based on his record to date.
Not really sure how that works mate. That surely would mean no player would ever move up a level again?Your opening line answers your question.
Clark has scored plenty in the championship now tbf
Good point; I was reading it more many of us not being convinced by signing Shankland.Not really sure how that works mate. That surely would mean no player would ever move up a level again?
0 in 30 games for QOTS, 10 in 55 games for us, 29 in 62 games for Dunfermline and 15 in 43 games for Dundee Utd.
Total: 54 in 190 games.
Last 3 seasons Shankland has 91 in 103 games (including Scottish Cup & League Cup).
Not keen on giving any decent amount of cash to Dundee Hivs but if we could get Shankland on loan with an option to buy we could test out whether he’s worth decent money at the top level (say £1.5m).
Yes, so Nicky Clark has scored in the championship
Take your valid point, but as a loan the only cost to us would be his wages. Hardly a risk at all.Mate there's a massive thread about two strikers signing for £9m plus add ons. Shankland is not coming here this year
You wouldnt get your money back for Kent.A panic buy? Not with 7 or 8 weeks of the window left.
As for bad business being "the usual with us" - remind me how much we paid for Alfie v what he's potentially going for?
What about Hagi? Balogun? Barisic? Katic? Tav? Jack? Kamara? Do they represent bad business?
Even Kent, our largest outlay for decades, is not bad business.
I think you need to cut back on the hyperbole.
Whaaat a lot of horse dung, yes there have been some poor signings but the book value of each and every one of our starting 11 with exception of greegs has risenYou wouldnt get your money back for Kent.
There s no bids going in for the players you mentioned and the last time i looked morelos was still here.
Morelos will be a one off , at the moment.
Have you forgot the bad business of pena, grezda, barker, hastie, jones, etc
Obviously with Ross Wilson there, i expect the bad business side to reduce.
You cannot deny that the amount of bad business that has been carried out from managers to players appointments.

I don't think we should have signed him at all. He's not good enough for where we are aiming.He's a more mobile Boyd who scores less goals, I'm glad our ambition seems to be higher than him tbh.
We should've have signed him a few years back and be cashing in on him now.
This thread no longer gives me the fearCan we now finally bin this pish ?

Totally agree mate no where near the class we need. If I am honest I expect to see him struggle to make the step up this year even at Dundee HibsNo . Like Nicky Clarke scores plenty in the lower leagues but not good enough for us
A heard we are interested in wee Shankland anybody else hear this ?The End.
Surely?
How's that "bad business being the usual with us" looking now?Bad business is the usual with us.
Maybe changing with Ross Wilson on board.

I have but not sure I believe it. What do you think?A heard we are interested in wee Shankland anybody else hear this ?
