RobNox Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 21 minutes ago, OTT said: I wouldn't discount player power either. Shankland I think likes Robbie and probably knows his career has taken a wobble moving to Belgium and it not work out. We see players spit the dummy to make the deal get done all the time. So perhaps a bit of pushing from the players side might force Beerschott to be reasonable. You don't pay £1m for a player (a striker too) and pay them peanuts. Also, if Beerschott are keen to get him off the wage bill, then Shankland holds the aces. Another club might come in with a better offer, but Shankland doesn't need to agree to a move that he doesn't want. If he's dead set on moving to Hearts, he can tell them that he ain't going anywhere else. So either they reach a deal with Hearts or they are saddled with him for another 2 seasons.

Anyone could think we’re bargaining here and getting ready to negotiate. Don’t think Savage will blink 1st though so may need to be patient.

(Devastated he's gone, but hardly surprised.) You are going to loooooove Kye Rowles. I've been watching his career closely since he was captain of our Joeys at the U17 World Cup - where he was a standout. I was overjoyed when he signed for the Mariners at 18, and while he did take a couple of years to adapt to the pressure and pace of the pro League he eventually blossomed into an absolute star. Easily one of the best CBs in the A League over the last two seasons and was recently rewarded with his first international caps. See if you can find some footage of the game against Peru. It was an intercontinental playoff for a spot at the World Cup and Kye was MOTM in only his third international. He's a monster in the air, a beast in the tackle, superbly positioned and plays out really well. Can run with the ball or play 40 metre passes onto the toe of a striker. He's going to be a long term Socceroo and will almost certainly be captain in a year or two. Will be one of the first picked for Qatar in November so don't let him get injured! The A League is played across spring, summer, autumn so is a bit slower than the leagues of cold Europe. He might take a little while to adjust so be patient, but also be excited. He's one hell of a player. Suspect this got lost during moderation of my first post so I'll just repost it here. You're going to loooooove Kye Rowles.

Shankland clearly wants to come here but I can't see the club allowing themselves to be held to ransom. At the end of the day, they were the idiots that paid £1m for a player that doesn't speak the language and hasn't played football outside the UK. Their ridiculous gamble isn't our mistake to pay for. I hope we're at the take it or leave it stage with them tbh. How are you so sure? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was his positioning sense that has so improved in the last two years. He was always a very strong player - good in the air - good in the tackle - good with his feet, but had a tendency to lose his player. He's put that behind him now and the result is an international player of very high quality. Still has room for improvement also - will be a huge player for the best part of ten years.

He's one hell of a player. As an ex-resident of the Central Coast I find it a wee bit surreal that we've signed a guy from the Mariners. They had only just started as a club when I lived there and I think Graeme Arnold (current Aussie National Team manager) was their coach. If Kye has the same attitude/work rate of most Aussie sportsmen (and the talent you say he has to match) then I'm optimistic he'll be a great player for us just as previous Aussies have been.

The reason they are not done and dusted with scarves above heads is that the entire medical/physio team are in Spain already doing the prep for the training camp and there was no one here to do medicals. I do know for a fact that some of the senior admin staff have been out there since Tuesday finalising things locally so there may be something to it.

I doubt that all of them would be away in case of any injuries training yesterday ( i believe it was a double session day) but, still, the key medical testing staff could be away.
