    Guy's a good finisher but that's about it. He'd need more than that for me to ignore the fact he's a hun. Out of interest, we're you a fan of Griffiths when he was here?

    I think he has a bit more. Think his link up play is really good. He's painfully slow though.

    I liked Griffiths the first few years. I liked McDonald, Stokes etc for the most part as well.

    I did always feel we could do better than all of them though aye but I could say that about every player we have in fairness.

    I worry most of all this January with the Asian cup as well, would be good to have someone we could be more confident in who's proven in the league.

    He doesnr massively improve us but he'd fill a goalscoring gap at a crucial point in the season.

    Aye I get your reasoning to be fair, can't really argue against any of that. What kind of price you reckon Hearts are slapping on him though? I reckon they'll want about 5 million or something daft.

    Aye they want that. One of my mates is a big hearts fan and he's adamant they won't sell.

    I know for a fact that the Huns have bid for him as well though due to someone I know that works at Hearts. But it was a player swap bid with no cash :giggle1:

    No a bad guess that lol.

    I'd imagine the huns will be desperate to sign him, he's exactly the type of * that would do well there. Clearly pratted though by the sounds of it :56:

    If Shankland wasn't a known hun * I'd be all for snapping him up, even just to stop him going to they *. But I can't justify it off the back of him being a good spl striker. Would rather look for better value elsewhere.

    Aye that's fair.

    Tbf he's the exact opposite of any signing I'd like us to go for. I just think its more a right person right time situation. We really need someone to help Kyogo. An instinctive finisher. Oh can't be trusted.

    Can see him going to the Huns though. And being annoying as * like Boyd was against the dross in the league.

    Hopefully we find better. Actually if we don't our entire scouting team should be sacked.

    Could you be any more bigoted?

    If he wasn't a hun you would take him to stop the huns getting him, even though you don't rate him.

    Is there no end to the pish you spout?

    Thankfully all the other huns we bought were actually good, eh?

    Aye they need to earn their corn sharpish. Am sure there will be plenty on the scouting list bit they need to start getting them right. Even I'll start to lose patience if they * this window up.

    @Mr Shelby Shankland is never coming here mate.

    I agree btw, he could do a very good job domestically. But he's a dyed in the wool mutant * who likes their Instagram stories.

    He will inevitably go to Sevco. They'll push that over the line, bit by bit, * offer after * offer, and force it through the players desire to be a fully fledged zombie. It will be a "undisclosed fee", with a deal much like the Ryan Kent one, paid off in installments over YEARS.

    But, just like the Korean we're now linked with, we shouldnt be anywhere near a player of his standard, given our immediate needs.

    We've over 70m sitting in the bank, with a chance to make another 55m by winning the league, with a manager claiming he returned to oversee real European progression. Shankland isn't anywhere near a reality where that's true, maybe as a 3rd or 4th choice striker possibly.

    Aye I don't think he would join.

    I suppose my suggestion qas more a "if he were to be linked I wouldn't turn my nose up". Whereas in the past I would have.

    I don't think he's the level we should be aiming for either but again, it's more coming from a concern I have over us scoring enough goals second half of the season domestically. Even if he were to help us over the line yo the title he'd have earned his coin.

    But aye. Hun bound. Which honestly does concern me slightly.

    Is the 55m a definite if we win the league and get CL? Mental money if so. I obviously want us to invest properly with or without that money but if that’s what we’re guaranteed then our board should be pushing the boat out to improve the squad to ensure it.
    Knowing them though…….. :39:

    Yep. New CL format, more money, alot more.

    Our board should be going all out in the market, not only to ensure that money, but to keep it out of Sevcos mutant hands.
    That 55m literally solves ALL their problems, and as I said in the Hun thread, you bet your balls they'd spend every penny of it they can spare on their team, unlike us, who seem to have the eternal * attitude that projects win prizes.

    Next year's 55m should've been spent last window and this one. Ensuring the league, keeping the balance, and also keeping our foot on Sevcos throat for the foreseeable.

    10m on Jotas replacement.
    10m on a Left back.
    10m on a CDM
    10m on a striker.
    The other 15 for the projects and squad competition.

    Right there, that's the league won. Wouldn't even need to spend that amount, just ring fence it for actual * quality. The would've seen us possibly get out of that CL group too, further adding to the coffers.

    Instead, we've two CB's at a combined 8.5m nowhere to be found, and are starting games with James Forrest, Mikey Johnston, and a south Korean project who doesn't know the offside rule.

    Dermot Desmond is a * disgrace who needs chased out of this club right now.
