McIness released him which ruled out Aberdeen which only leaves us and Hibs. Yeah. Why he never went to Swansea or Sunderland does suggest it suits him to be here too.

Thomaso Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 So according to some Shankland will score goals but only in the Championship and not the top league. So if we put Wighton out on loan to a Championship team and he bangs in the goals that changes nothing??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayr were odds on to go up with Shankland's goals then they faltered. Aside from Dundee United being seen as a Premiership side I don't see much difference in moving to Dundee United. Apart from maybe higher wages. If Dundee United stay down will Shankland move? Edited August 9, 2019 by Mikey1874 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shanks Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 meh, I would have liked us to take a punt on him but for some reason he has ended up in the championship. Who knows what that reason may be but he will scored 25+ goals no problem in that league. He's still only 23, maybe Dundee United offered him a good deal and he's confident he would get plenty game time and end up getting a big transfer at the end of the season?

Like your sensible post - 'Our scouting is dug shite.' You base this on Hearts not signing Shankland? The same player every other scout in the UK passed on apart from the mighty Dundee Utd. Let's face it you hardly need to do any scouting on Shankland's 50 goals in 50 games for Ayr it wasn't exactly a secret. You clearly think you could do a better job at scouting than professionals who have worked in football for years - and you are on kickback.
