All would depend on if the player decided to force it Yup, Dundee United signed Shankland expecting that he would earn them a big pay day so I cant see them selling him cheaply.

There were rumours he was after him last season as well tbf, how long is left on his contract? If it's only a year I can see it happening He has a year left. Scored 8 last season, not the worst, but players like Cole, Callachan, Burke and McGrath scored more. 3 assists so contributed to 11 goals in total over 32 games. So 1 in 4 actually scoring and 1 in 3 contributed goals if including assists. Said before would take him, not as first choice and not breaking the bank.

Hard to see them getting that big pay day with only a year left on his deal and 8 goals last season, unless he has a shit-hot start to the season and goes at the end of August. Rumoured to be on a relatively huge wage as well, so perhaps they wouldn't mind getting that off their books with a bit of cash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dazajmbo Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 Shankland has a clause in his contract about being able to move on. This was always the intention of DU signing him. His value has reduced due to poor form but with United in real financial worries we may get a good deal. Although the boy Ashgar is unlikely to want to help Robbie out. Just because we want a striker doesn't mean Boyce is leaving. If anything it will be a positive for Boyce. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will be a journeyman in the Championship until his 30’s and then come back up the road. Maybe to us, maybe to someone else. It’s the way of most half decent Scottish player who looks like they’ve outgrown the Scottish Premiership. High hopes eventually descend into Championship mediocrity.

mitch41 Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 3 hours ago, mitch41 said: So that’s 8 x defenders plus 3 Goalkeepers = 11. 4 x Wing Backs, 6 xMidfielders =12. 4 x Strikers = 4 that gives you a squad of 25 First Team players and that 25 need to be good enough to shine in the Premiership. Now if a youngster can break into the team and perform all the better. To get this spot on I’d recon having 25 players of a squad who you can count on to cover form, injuries, suspensions etc. 3 x Keepers : Gordon, Stewart, Stone 2 x Right Backs : Smith, Brandon 2 x Left Backs : A.N Other, A.N.Other 2 x Right Centre Backs : Souttar, A.N.Other 2 x Left Centre Backs : A.N.Other, A.N.Other 2 x Right Wing Backs : ? , ?. 2 x Left Wing Backs : ? , ?. 6 x Midfielders : McEneff, Walker, Haring, ? , ? , ?. 4 x Strikers : Boyce, Gnanduillet, Ginnelly, ?. I’m thinking that Stone should maybe given the chance to challenge Gordon and get a few games in the League Cup especially with the big man in the Scotland squad. Halkett would not be my first choice and if he wanted a move that could be for the best. Mackay-Steven I recon is in the same bracket as Halkett as well as Henderson. Irving might have to stay at Hearts, who knows, and Naismith might retire or he might not. Youngsters like McGill need to push as hard as they can to force their way into the squad. The players I haven’t mentioned need to be sold or freed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
