New poster so go easy please.
What's the consensus about Shankland and would he do a job?
In my opinion he's a natural finisher and something we lack, I think he'd score a load of goals with the chances he'd get. Worth a punt at a reasonable price to push on in the domestic front ??.

Welcome Hammer!
At £2m I’d take him. I suspect the usual Ibrox tax will be applied though and he’ll be overpriced. Him and Miovski or a similar type from a foreign league would be great to replace Dessers and Roofe. Bring Lovelace in gradually once he returns and get him game time. With Danilo, that’s a decent front line group.
Enjoy the forum.

Id personally prefer the Aberdeen striker out of the two of them but would be happy if we did sign one of them. And i think we should sign one if them.

Firstly welcome Hammer86?On shankland who i do rate as a natural goalscorer, surely it would make more sense all round to sign aberdeen striker miovski who's 4 years younger than shankland and wouldn't cost as much to buy and who's also a natural finisher mate ?.
27 Nov 2023 20:34:02
I can't see this one happening, he'd cost too much. certainly better than Lammers and Dessers.

Welcome hammer
This one has indeed been heavily debated on here. Some agree with your assessment, and some say not good enough.
Personally, for the right money, I would take a punt on him.
27 Nov 2023 21:01:28
Problem is Hammer86 Hearts won't sell him to us fir a reasonable price.
27 Nov 2023 21:03:43
It's difficult to say Hammer. Playing for Hearts is different than playing for rangers where you come up against packed defences every week. He might score goals, he might not, every transfer is a risk.
My concern is that we have other positions that need replacing come the summer and unless we are going to magic up some funds from somewhere we will need to be clever with where we spend money.

Hammer- welcome to the forum. Good to have you on here.
Yes he would do a job probably but not for the sort of cash hearts may be looking for.
Yesterday we created next to nothing for Danillo so it wouldn't have mattered who we had up front, they would have struggled.

Welcome,
Shankland is a yes for me, as mentioned above. needs to be the right price though.
28 Nov 2023 08:18:55
Welcome keep posting mate I think they would want the £4million they are toutin about that’s 2 much for him imo.
28 Nov 2023 08:32:48
athole we had 22 chances against Aberdeen we had 10 shots on target, we should have won that game.
28 Nov 2023 08:59:01
Welcome hammer86. This question has been done to death. There is no reasonable price for Shankland. We missed the boat on him like others not deemed good enough. He'd score goals but he's upper age group and expensive. We don't have money to burn.
28 Nov 2023 10:25:05
I think it's too late now for the boy as Hearts will hold us to ransom if we approach them for him. Miovski is a no from me as it would kill me to think of us giving the sheep anything, especially the 4m price that seems to be doing the rounds. I really think of myself as a fair and rational person who is polite to everybody, however I hate Aberdeen with a passion and nothing would give me greater pleasure than seeing them get relegated.

Shankland or Miovski is a must this January! it could be the thing that turns it around and wins us the league.
I still don't really rate Danilo, especially for his finishing so far, misses a lot of chances that i feel Shankland or Miovski would have finished
Dessers is terrible. Lammers is useless. Roofe likely won't play any role for us again.
