Supposed to be a £1mill transfer. Wonder if there's a sell on clause being added ? Fee is ok considering he's in the last year of his contract, helps Utd out with their finances which are supposed to be horrific. For Shankland - i think it's a smart move. Gives him a chance to experience a different scene and hopefully improve as a player with one eye on his next move/trying to get back into the Scotland National team.

Think its due to lack of Scottish strikers, anyone who scores more than 10 goals in Championship is heralded as the next Ronaldo. Reality is he would probably score a load of tap ins for Rangers and Celtic, any other team in the league where chances are much rarer he would struggle. Glad he's not coming our way.

After 3 games, which is likely why Beerschot need a proven goal scorer. Belgium is strange; a 16 team A Division and a 8 team B Division. A pedant writes: a silly fact is that those Belgian teams that play with purple in their colours is due to them originating from the RC church (Anderlecht is another). The other thing that bugs me is that Brugge is pronounced Broogga and not Brooj (Bruge) which is the French pronunciation of its Flemish name, much as Anvers is the French name for Antwerp.

Footballfirst Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 United will only get half of any transfer fee, but they will save a good bit on wages. Shankland's agent had negotiated a great deal with United. £4,250 a week, with the player entitled to 40% of any transfer fee received and his agent 10%.

Not as mad as you may think. If you look at another Scottish player who has recently gone over to Belgium, Jack Hendry. He went on loan there last season when everyone had thought he was hopeless despite looking good earlier in his career. He plays in Belgium and has a great season, being seen as one of the best centre backs in the league, his Belgium team have signed him this summer for just over £1m from Celtic and its expected they will make a good profit from him (they even sell him this summer as some EPL teams were sniffing around him.) So Beerschot may view him as an undervalued player (I know that sounds odd when they have paid less than £500k plus add ons) relative to his ability that they can develop and sell on at a profit.

Personally, if he was a free or low cost fee, and would be willing to take half of what he's reportedly on just now, I'd not complain but other than that, I'd not be spending any decent sums on him.

Guest ToqueJambo Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 Good for him trying something new. Still confused why he chose to stay in the Scottish Championship though when he could have got a similar move a few years ago. Has one season to really prove himself at a half decent level IMO. On another note the D Utd owner must be spewing. All the chat about Shankland being worth £2-3m not that long ago and they end up making what 100k or so given they paid a large fee for him and paid him high wages? Ha. Ha. Speculating to accumulate isn't so easy is it, as Ron Gordon is also learning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A couple of seasons with the team in Belgium , Sheffield United fans are not happy they have not spend any money and think there is some issue . They will sell some of there players on big wage and bring In Shankland he will be like Dykes at QPR for them.
