Made this point to my pal the other day. What’s the chances he could play at the level we are at now.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.

No team in that league should be getting that much for a player. Shankland has done enough to suggest he might be able to make the step up but without actually proving it asking for a million is laughableHe would be at least £1m, probably more like £2m. They have money and wouldn't want to sell to us.
Nicky Clark did it 1 season in the 3rd tier. Shankland has been doing it for 2 and a half seasons in both the 2nd and 3rd also scoring against premiership teams in the cup. Comparing them is lazyWas about to post similar..
They both play for the same team and Shankland has scored 5 times as many goals as Clark this season. In fact in half a season he has scored more than Clark has in total for Dundee United.For Shankland refer to Nicky Clarke.

The season before we signed Clarke he banged in 40 goals tho, so was a proven goal threat but just couldn't pull it off (unfortunately) in a Rangers shirt.They both play for the same team and Shankland has scored 5 times as many goals as Clark this season.

The only thing more annoying than constant threads on Shankland is the ridiculous comparisons to Nicky Clark

That's a bit like saying no team in the SPL should be asking for £25-30m. We can ask that because of the performances in Europe. Dundee United can ask for it because they have money, he's on a decent contract, and has scored against SPL teams as well as scoring loads in his league.No team in that league should be getting that much for a player.

How can anyone watch him and think he's good enough is beyond me.
Footballers don’t give a flying %^*& who they supported as kids when money comes into it. They’re professionals.He is a bluenose but I think we need better
With Lafferty it was mentality not ability that made folk not want him.Lafferty is a far better player than Shankland and nobody would have him back.
Shankland is nowhere near good enough to play for us IMO.
Would be a good squad player for the Spl
Don't think Lafferty's ability was ever in question. His attitude on and off the park were his undoing.Lafferty is a far better player than Shankland and nobody would have him back.
