Dazo Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 I’m not sure we are in any position to turn down the likes of Shankland if he is available at sensible money. It’s been a long time since we have had a genuine goal scorer in our team. While he hasn’t really proved himself at this level yet the boy knows where the net is.

Biffa Bacon Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 30 minutes ago, Newton51 said: Record reporting this Devlin 'closing in' on Hearts switch Hearts are nearing a deal for Australian rising star Cameron Devlin -according to a report. He has been with Australia U23 squad at the Olympics and is yet to play for current club Newcastle Jets having only joined them in June. But reporter Joey Lynch says Hearts will pay a fee for the midfielder who is being tipped for success with the Soccerroos. This can't be right, as I read one of our financial experts point out that we are skint. 🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juho_Makela_Goal_Machine Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Not sure I would have prioritised another CM but with Haring‘s injury history this might not be the worst move. Feel for McEneff though who looked a player when he came in last season and is seemingly well down the pecking order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thumb Up Emoji Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Sounds promising. As others have said, interesting we've signed another DM. Perhaps Halliday is on his way out as part of a swap deal... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Special Agent Dale Cooper Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 (edited) Perhaps McEneff is being groomed as cover for GMS and Ginnelly?

It’s a a rubbish argument, some of the views on signing Shankland are downright bizarre. He’s a striker who with the right service could net 10/15 goals a seasons! A striker who could be great in games where we have loads of possession in and around the box, games we here we currently struggle to nick a goal.. you’ve all lost the ****ing plot. btw - I don’t think he will come here anyway unless it’s a pre contract. But to not want him? Weirdos to a man 😂 Don't think we've all lost the plot. It's quite right to have reservations about a guy who is currently commanding a fee and relatively high wages. He's 25 and Halkett has more top flight goals. I'd like him as an option if the finances where right but he's not in the same class as the punts we taken on Reilly, Wighton and Keatings in recent years. He's apparently far more expensive than these. You could be right but Shankland is a strange one, bigger clubs are not interested in him for a reason. Don't think it makes folk weird to question all of this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Berra than you Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Tbh if we are sticking with the 3-4-3 then I think the 2 central midfielders have to be sitters. Yes sure they can press forward, but most of the attacks should come from the front three and wing backs. Gives us another in there, with McEneff, walker and Pollock as more forward thinking options.
