Shankland (12 Viewers)

[Saddlebrains]

Loads of twitter accounts suddenly claiming we're serious.

Bullshit surely? Unless the owners have allowed Robins access to all of Wilsons sell.on fee?

I mean I wouldn't say no, just can't see it being true what with us just getting walker too.

 

[fernandopartridge]

Think it's just one story that is being amplified

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Don't see any mileage in this at all

 

[Evo1883]

I'd rather we spend any allocated funds remaining on another attacking midfielder

 

[fatso]

Omg!

 

[fernandopartridge]

Omg!

Soon to be known as going for a Lawrence Shank

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

It says sent a scout - we would send scouts to lots of places and other teams would send them to watch us too

 

[Liquid Gold]

We play one up top and I don't see any of him, Godden and Walker taking being 3rd choice. It's an old rumour that's just popped up, if we were going to sign him at any point it would have been when he left Ayr but we went for Rose instead.

I wouldn't be surprised if his agent is using us a way of getting him a new deal.

Probably more angling for a move to one of the OF

 

[Saddlebrains]

If. And its a big if this is true.

Would that not point to a change of system with the mccallum signing also?

E.g 433 again that he started with last season

Dabo Osti Hyam Mccallum
Ohare. Hamer. Allen
Shankland Godden Giles???


Feel dirty even writing that to be honest

Apparently Celtic were interested but Shankland is big into the whole sectarian thing on the other side of it.

That just looks horrible.

Relegation?

Our system is our strength

 

[Saddlebrains]

I agree. Surely not true, great player of course but this would be the second strange transfer after mccallum

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Our time to sign him was when we were gunning for a McNulty replacement. Since then our system has changed and he would be competing with two others for one spot. Not happening

 

[Tommo1993]

Someone said about Walker lighting a fire under Godden’s arse for competition. But I think Shankland would be much closer to doing that. I know Walker has some catching up to do, but I still wouldn’t be worried about the competition if I was Matty.

 

[fatso]

I'd bring in Shankland, and loan Walker back to Forest.
And order is restored in the universe!

 

[Gibbo]

stop please stop - enough transfer speculation already. We have three strikers and limited ability to get rid any that would now surplus (Baka I assume). Give Godden and Walker chance please

 

[Gibbo]

... and we are scoring goals (better than last year). The problem is at the other end.

Sorted the defence now, Rose and Mcallum to come in, Giles to challenge Godden for his place.

Your a very naughty boy

 

[Magwitch]

In my opinion we need another top forward if we got one who comes off a bit like Tammy Abraham’s did the other year at Villa i think we can be a surprise package and challenge at the business end of the division, not saying its Lawrence Shankland never seen him play or know much about him seems to be rated highly, but I have a feeling MR will bring another forward in.
I notice he is over 6 foot so I’m assuming he is strong in the air could be the business with Hamers corners. Trouble is I think he would cost serious dosh so a doubtful one to me.

Don't tell cc84cov, he will have a meltdown

Abraham was on 50k pw when he went to Villa

 

[speedie87]

Does anyone know if ray gooding still does any scouting for the club?

I heard he’s at Leeds now

We could offer them Biamou, Mason + £

 

[SleepyGinger]

We’ve just spend a rumoured £1M on Walker and Godden has scored 2 in 2. We currently play a 1 striker system, I’d be massively shocked if there’s anything in this.

If Godden or Walker get injured then we would have to hope Baka steps up, I don’t see a problem having three decent strikers.

SBT logic. Let's go back to a system that didn't work for us in L1 and throw away a system that has been incredibly successful.

Before too long someone will be suggesting Dabo as DM and Giles as inside forward......oh hold on.....

 

[SleepyGinger]

You’d imagine this lad will cost atleast 2 million. We don’t have that sort of money to spend on a striker in case walker or godden get injured.

 

[clint van damme]

He's a rangers supporter but Dundee Utd have always been reluctant to do business with Celtic and Rangers which id imagine is now compounded by the fact that they were on the list of creditors owed money by rangers mark 1 when they were liquidated.
If he does end up ibrox I strongly suspect it will be via somewhere else first.

 

[block16]

Rather we didn't. Balance the books be ridiculous to overspend when all positions are filled and we're covered

To a Spinal Tap 11.
