Would people really accept £2-3 million in the summer?? Tend to think 20+ goals in a season worth its weight in gold especially to ourselves. As a club and fan base we need to not be so easily bent over for our players. Same goes for Cochrane

This!

 

Prize money, euro games, even if only qualifiers there's TV, Gate receipts etc. Likewise going further in cup comps. Christ, keeps getting the colum inches his shirt sponsor becomes lucrative. I just think he's worth losing for nothing rather than selling for (realistically) 1 or 2 million in summer. The only way to agree a sale figure is for him to sign extension with release clause.

 

So many variables

Anyone who buys Shankland in the summer are after his goals to enhance their chance of league titles. That has to be taken into account with the transfer fee which should reflect that potential.

I maintain we should be saying you will not leave before your contract for less than £5 million, that's what we value your goals. The number is speculative, just a figure that says we value you at that irrespective of time in contract. So you may as well take more cash on a longer deal...

 

Football is a funny business where you effectively own the player within the contract. Yes, there are risks holding someone to ransom but ultimately you signed a contract in good faith. There is zero obligation to release that, zero!

 

No idea what's being said behind closed doors, just don't think anything as cut abd dry as many think.

 

Regardless, keep banging in goals Shanks and take from there

Maybe, but the contract is not off the table. Stupidest ****ing thing I’ve heard in my life. 
 

are you seriously trying to tell me if he says he will sign tomorrow we will say no.

 

Ive no doubt we are pressing for a quick decision, ive no doubt that further talks may be on the backburner for now. But we have not “taken the deal of the table” and shanks to the best of my knowledge has not turned down the offer. 

 

Your source is a ****ing idiot imo 

 

He's here now until at least summer...why would we voluntarily pay him more?

No. Still minimum of £5m for me. The money isn't that important as we'll not replace his goals.

 

Personally, I'd just keep him until the end of his contract and shake his hand, thank him for his time and wish him well.

According to BBC we are going to “hang” onto Shankland. 
 

Strange wording considering not one bid submitted.

Totally agree. If he's still here this time next year performing as at present and signed a precontract with Der Hun, I'd still be keeping him until the Summer, as we did with Soutar 2 years ago. Don't ever let the feckers bully us.

I can't help but think the deadline is a bit smoke a mirrors...we either want to keep him or we don't. Surely the former

It’s BBC Glasgow. Everything they quote is to massage the egos of Orcs and Tim’s.  Quite pathetic.

Rangers are not going to pay £5 million for our star man, as this would be like gifting us as much money as we would get if/when we reach European football, and enough money to buy a forward who could continue our march to Europe/ worth another 5 million. 

I would be vey surprised if they would  allow us even the possibility of that kind of growth (with us sitting neatly 10 points behind them). No sir no. They'll rather wait this out, I believe.

Do I wish that Shankland sign with us. 100%. Will he? Only time will tell. Money does talk. Unfortunately.

Price drops to £4m in the summer for me. £1.5m next January.

Same as previous. Nobody knew anything although several have voices in their heads that tell them things.

I personally would hope we didn’t accept less than £5mil in the summer, think he’s worth more for a season if it gets us 3rd and potentially a cup win. Also he might consider extending his stay as he nears 30

I tell you what. Assuming nothing happens with Shanks in the next two hours or so, it turns out ex footballers and managers are just as bad as kickbackers at pretending to be ITK and talking pish. 
 

Folk I trust have told me first hand that Shanks was definitely offski and they were told that directly by three ex Hearts players and a former premiership manager - in the last week.

Seriously mate, I’ve been bricking it all week. I went from thinking (like most folk), we hold all the aces, huns won’t pay what we would accept etc to maybe there’s something in this. I still think the new contract Wednesday deadline was weird.

I think you’ll be good. Rangers have confirmed they’re finished in this window and surely any clubs further afield are too late.
