jamboinglasgow Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 3 minutes ago, Leveins Battalion said: If Souttar,Walker and Gnanduillet are off ski Savage is going to be a busy man. Yup, before this window I calculated the first team squad as 22 players (which included Cammy Logan and Finlay Pollok (as Logan was back up and Pollok was used frequently in the league cup.) Since then Logan has gone out on loan and Atkinson has signed (arrival in Edinburgh imminent. So we are still at the 22. Losing those 3 would put us down to 19, which to put it into perspective means we have 1 spare senior player if we fill a full 18 man squad. Though with SPFL possibly increasing subs to 5 a game and 9 players on the bench for the rest of the season, then every match would require an Under 18 (not counting Pollok.) For a squad which was very small prior to the window and is underestimated how well we have kept players fit, we do need a few signings especially if we lose those 3.

If he is thinking of signing for Alloa it doesn't suggest that has improved Maybe he just relates better to Barry Ferguson than he does to Robbie ? Just checked their squad - the great Connor Sammon is there too !! So is Adam King. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why has he caught your eye? 16 goals in his best 2 seasons in the SPFL. Scoring 1 in 2 for Kilmarnock so far this season (7 in 13) But mostly he is still young (23) and he has room to improve. Shankland is at peak age, you’re not going to coach improvement into him. Shaw isn’t someone I’d necessarily champion but if we’re talking someone with unrealised potential who knows his way about the league, I’d pick him over Shankland. Although I do think we are looking way above this kind of level. Edited January 8, 2022 by JimmyCant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he was to get a decent scoring record going in a Hearts jersey, the seethe from Lochend would be glorious. I think we're aiming higher than Shaw though.

BackOfTheNet Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 On that BT Score thing Chris Sutton is reporting on the Blackburn game and he’s mentioned their captain, centre-back Darragh Lenihan, has went off injured and that he hopes it isn’t as bad as it looks as he could be out for some time. Might change Blackburn’s persistence in terms of chasing Souttar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's clinical and not afraid to have a ping, which is why I would now take him if he's available on the cheap. Been strongly against signing him because he was going to be over priced, but would take him now since they just want rid of him and he will actually hit a shot when he gets the chance. Like you say, they created very little and barely ever had the ball in the box. Fuchs and Butcher just hacked everyone then their full backs would attempt to go up the wing, shit the bed, and knock it into midfield, then they'd put it back to defence. They rinsed and repeated that move all season and must have been so bad to watch from the stands.

karipidis Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 Shankland scored 8 goals in a incredibly defensive Dundee Utd side, as well as his record in the championship that is far better than Zac Rudden. I remember listening to a podcast and when he got his call up to the Scotland squad the players were very impressed with him. I think he’d be a very good signing if it makes sense financially. Not many natural goal scorers available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be happy with someone who would add 8-10 goals a season to whatever Boyce gets and I've no doubt Shankland could manage that. But aye, maybe one for 2nd choice striker next season if the price is right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
