Should Rangers make a play for lawrence shankland

[Baladloyal1872]

Just saw his goal against Hibs. I know scum are sniffing around but boy might be a bluenose. Do you guys think he is worth a punt?

 

[Henderson55]

No not good enough imo

 

[Buzz07]

No. That's his level.

 

[TGP]

Been waiting for this thread....

 

[yarrumdavid01]

If we were we had the chance when at Ayr.

 

[Virgil Hilts]

No.

 

[snoopyboymason]

Would be a good squad player for the Spl

 

[CooperSF]

Here we go.

 

[Thomas Vallance]

He is a bluenose but I think we need better

 

[Andrew79]

In a word. Nope. he isn't good enough

 

[maca3d]

I think its his level. Also think there's too much risk in what we’d need to pay for him. If he goes to the tims i’ll happily see him start against us

 

[waffoibiza]

Would have tried at beginning of the season when he was available for nothing and loaned him out for 6months. But Dundee HIVs would now want a couple of million for him now.

 

[Kampbell]

Have to say I didn't want to sign him previously but I now think we should make the move.

I don't get the folk saying that he's at his level.. he's clearly not since he's been utterly destroying it for 18months.

 

[justbrowsing]

Not good enough.

 

[Boba Fleck]

For Shankland refer to Nicky Clarke. Absolutely smashed it in the lower leagues and struggled with us even though he got more service. Found his level now.

 

[SR11RFC]

He may be a good project for our management team but I couldn’t see him getting much game time.

 

[macjohn212]

No

 

[Jjbscotty]

He’s definitely worth a punt imo.

 

[Clubdeckg]

I thought he would have been worth the gamble in the summer. Cheap option third striker, certainly knows where the goal is.

He'll get a decent move in the summer

 

[Russell RFC]

Very much of the Nicky Clark mould imo.

 

[D day]

For Shankland refer to Nicky Clarke. Absolutely smashed it in the lower leagues and struggled with us even though he got more service. Found his level now.

That sums it up,totally agree

 

[Gascoigne8]

He’s a lot like Boyd

would do a job in routine games

 

[thelivibluenose]

He’s worth a punt if the money is right but I fear he could be another Nicky Clarke who for all he was decent wasn’t the standard required

 

[Pentasa]

Every time Dundee Utd play a game of Football this is question is posted why is that

 

[scottbear75]

They would want stupid money for him

 

[Rio Loyal]

He’s not good enough we need to aim higher.

 

[rfcsteven]

I don’t think he’s good enough for us and we should
be looking at strikers of a much higher standard

 

[Blue Willie]

I think we need better back up than Shankland but he would do a decent job for most clubs in our league.

 

[Ted Rangers]

No. That's his level.

His level is scoring against Hibs? A premier League team? The league that Rangers play in?

 

[MearnsUnionist]

Not for me.

Light years behind Morelos and Defoe, in terms of quality.

He simply doesn't have the technical ability for our style of play.

 

[Jellytot2000]

We should have made a move when he was at Ayr now they would be wanting too much money for him. As a 3rd striker in games against lower opposition he could have been a useful addition to the squad.

 

[Mr tangerineman]

In the name of the wee man no no and no

 

[Wufty Bear]

i think he could do a turn for us, he is only 24 and has time to develop

 

[Wufty Bear]

2-2 now

 

[Adelphi Ger]

No, no and thrice no. Need to, and should aim higher.

 

[Superfurryanimal]

Not now, could have maybe taking a punt on him when he left Ayr

 

[sandy2478]

more to the question is would you want to make a deal with dundee scum

 

[Spudgun]

If he was available at a bargain price I'd have said take a punt on him, he'd get goals in our more routine fixtures.

Irrelevant now though, that ship has sailed and they'd be looking for a decent fee for him now.

 

[QueensferryCR3Bear]

He is no better than Nicky Clark was.

 

[TGP]

Boy can certainly finish but when at Ayr was the time to go for him.

 

[Pacman]

He would definitely improve under our coaching set up. We really need to think long term about strikers. Defoe n morelos will b gone in the next 15/16 months

 

[gazblue]

No if were interested would have made a move when at Ayr not worth the hassle dealing with them now

 

[Grsmith]

I can't see us signing him. I don't want us signing him. He's Scottish championship for a reason

 

[Mbear]

Only if we Buy and loan back for the short to medium term with a view to a long term position in our 1st team.

I dunno if he’s good enough for us

 

[Broxi Bear 1873]

Sorry but it is a no from me, would rather we promote one of our youth players and look to sign someone who is a better player.

 

[napierblue]

Not for me. If we were to get an additional striker I think it needs to be a more physical player, a target man

 

[Ted Rangers]

Buy and loan back for the short to medium term with a view to a long term position in our 1st team

Loan a player to Dundee United? Surely not. Would be bad enough giving them money, never mind letting them use the player.

 

[Laird of lerwick]

Worth a punt

 

[Ted Rangers]

Sorry but it is a no from me, would rather we promote one of our youth players and look to sign someone who is a better player.

The youth strokers aren't good enough. The next decent prospect there appears to be NYC, who is a couple of years off probably. There was talk of us looking at the young Dunfermline striker, but since he plays in the lower leagues I doubt our fans would want him.

 

[TonySoprano]

Should’ve went for him when we could’ve got him for nothing
