Busby8 Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 15 hours ago, Tennant's 6's said: Perhaps not, but when big Uche & MacLean were out of sorts at the weekend, which could happen again, it would be better to call upon an experienced Czech striker, rather than an unproven young Scottish lower league player. Maybe the money that the Club would spend to get him here a few months early, might just be worth it re league position & Cup Final appearances at the end of the season.. Here's the thing though..... Vanaceck is our player for free in January. Say we pay 250k for him now,.... that's about 16k per week plus his salary from now until the time we get him for nothing, all for the privilege of having Vanaceck 4 months early. I really can't see us doing this when that kind of money could be spent elsewhere to strengthen the squad, whether it's on Shankland or someone else.

I’d much rather give Keena a shot, than spend a fairly decent wedge on Shankland. I fail to see how Shankland would be less of a risk.

This is the point which softens the blow most with losing KL for me. We have started the season strongly, mostly without him. Even without his strike, a strong performance and draw with Celtic would have been good. I love CL's comments as always. Not panicked, and firm in stating we will be stronger again in a week's time!

The Old Tolbooth Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 I reckon we should not be paying any more than £100K for to release Vanecek, it wouldn't be financially viable to go as high as £250k for the sake of 16 weeks or so, not unless he banged in 10 goals between now and then, and that's always a risk. Uche and McLean are more than capable of leading our line, with Keena coming on as a late sub. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jambof3tornado Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 Teplice are playing games for more money. Mr Levein is good at games. I have every faith that CL will do the right thing. We've clearly told teplice what we will pay and they are haggling for more, as we did with the dirty hun bassers over Lafferty. Normal situations.

I get that mate, but it's only 16 weeks (I can hear you shouting, but what about Berra?), and Keena for me can come on late to save McLean's legs, and if need be we can push Naisy up front if we get really short, no matter the position we find ourselves in in the next 16 weeks or so, it's still a hell of a lot better than last season when we all worried ourselves sick that Lafferty would get injured and we'd end up with nothing up front.
