gnasher75 Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 Still annoyed we didn't take a chance on him. I imagine there will be a long queue of clubs offering United big money next summer. To those who say having a natural (penalty box) goalscorer doesn't suit our style of play, I would question our style of play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theres 12 teams in our top division none of whom thought he was worth taking a punt on, nor any down south. Theres better things to save your annoyance for.

Hungry hippo Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 Think we all know the arguments for and against Shankland. Must have read them 100 times today. Not sure there is much more anyone can add. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FJT Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 ‘A masterclass in finishing...’ John Robertson said of Shankland today. Robbie has a great acquisition there in my opinion. odd choice of club given the rumours about who may have been interested, but must’ve been reasons on both sides for his eventual choice. Be interesting to see how he gets on as the season progresses, but I suspect he may prove very valuable to them. He’s not a hearts player though, so I’m afraid that’s as far as my ‘interest ‘ goes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocky jamboa Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 He surely deserves a chance in a bigger league. Surprised no SPL clubs, including us, or even a championship/first division club down south didn't take a punt on him. I wonder if there is something in the background with him.

tian447 Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 What's the ****ing point in arguing about it? He went to Dundee United. Every single other top flight club, and probably lots of others, would have had a look at him and decided "nah" for one reason or another. He might turn out to be one hell of a player and he might turn out to be going through the purple patch of his life. We just don't know, and we, more than anyone else, should know that scoring goals in the Championship does not mean scoring goals in the Premiership. We had plenty of players who did not handle the step up, only a few short years ago! I don't have any regrets about us not going for him. We've managed to get Naismith on a 4 year deal, which is better than 4 Shanklands as far as I'm concerned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
