soonbe110 Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 3 minutes ago, AlimOzturk said: It’s a tough call to make. Do we cash in this summer, use the money from the sale to bring in a replacement who will be more long term? Or go with Shankland for the season and allow go for free the following summer? I can see the dilemma tbh. Personally I want him to stay out, even if that means him going next summer for nothing. Yep, it’s unsettling for all involved. Hopefully doesn’t affect form for next few months. I would love him to stay as well and sign a new contact however if there are clubs after him willing to pay the market rate then I’d let him go in the summer assuming he wants to. If we are tarred as a club that stand in the way of players development then it’s not a good look for future potential signings. Age, injury, loss of form are all factors as well.

Valois No1 Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 If he’s not going to sign then I’d defo sell. As mentioned Europe next season isn’t a guarantee with third place and if we could get decent cash for Shanks coupled with the cash from Europe then we would have the biggest transfer kitty in the clubs history. Sign a replacement for Shanks (difficult task I know) and a quality midfielder and I genuinely think we would have a team that old firm would be looking at and say this isn’t going to be as easy as it has been.

Bazzas right boot Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 1 hour ago, soonbe110 said: He will be only six months away from signing a pre-contract, he will want to go, makes it tough to stand in his way. Now that he is back on pens he is pretty much guaranteed to get 30 this season with anything between 14 and 18 games left yet no-one was interested in January. No one was interested as we wanted about £5m, no one was every going to pay that outside a random Saudi club. In the summer, if he's not extended, I'm gonna say that he'll tell the club he wants to leave and coupled with a year left on his contract and with us having a summer to recruit we'll sell. I'm gonna say £2-£3m if that plays out. However, hopefully he extends and stays with us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taffin Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 (edited) We moan about the SFA/SPFL undervaluing our game and then go and do it ourselves. 2-3 million for a 30 goals a season striker? No chance. Will that money materially change our path? No. Another 3rd place would be worth a lot more to the club in the long run. We need to stop capping our ambition and aiming so low imo. We've finally got a top drawer goalscorer at our level and rather than get that benefit on the pitch folk want Chicken feed added to the P+L instead 🤷🏻♂️ Edited February 7 by Taffin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the club did that during that window though. I would hope it would be the same in the summer. However what the fans think is realistic is another thing. Just because we think he should go for a lot more doesn’t mean that’s what clubs will value him at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that’s interesting that we would still be challenging for 3rd or even still 3rd. As you say, we’d have another striker rather than playing with 10 men. But a fit Boyce playing all the time would maybe have managed 4 or 5 goals rather than Shankland’s 20, or maybe Vargas could do a job there. One thing for sure, neither of them would be scoring the worldies and half chances that Shanks has been doing regularly this season. He’s been feeding off scraps a bit like Miovsky at Aberdeen.

It doesn’t matter what we value him at. He can only be sold for whatever a club is willing to pay. I’d be amazed if we got over £3m in the summer for him, really can’t see that happening. We only got £1.5m for a teenage Hickey with a year left on his contract, the best outfield player we have produced for decades. Shankland is 28. I can’t see him extending his contract and if not, I’d rather see him stay for the next 18 months but I think most likely scenario is the club will look to sell in the summer and he will look to move on. Have to say though, he does seem to be enjoying his football a lot more than he was at the start of the season. His body language is night and day.

He is contractually obligated to play for Hearts until summer 2025. There’s no way around that. Absolutely locked down. There’s zero frame work or possibility to engineer any sort of move before then. It’s 100% the choice of the club. And that’s why Bosman exists for players. Lawrence wants a move?

That’s the way it is. Then you’ve got your freedom of contract to make your moves when that time comes and the club gets nothing. As happened with John Souttar who, wanted his move in January. In your view Hearts treated him like shite I suppose? Because we refused to grant his wishes? Hearts said no, so he went in summer. That’s the way it is for players. They have no control if a move happens until they are out of contract. Lawrence is not out of contract. And for tin pot money of £3m, might as well keep, and let him go on a free as that’s chump change 1990s money that will buy a us… some washed up championship striker.

So if he goes next summer he might be in for a hefty payday. In that scenario it's us who miss out on money, but if Shankland helps us get third this season and next, earns us a few points in next season's Euro groups and gave us our best shot at winning a cup for a while, then we can do without the three or four million quid.

Take that other £3m from Europe and strengthen other areas, strengthen the support act for Lawrence at #9, build the whole team around him and throw the kitchen sink at season 24-25. We are never getting near Rangers and Celtic without a player like Lawrence up front. I would go all in on Lawrence at #9 for that 3rd and final season 24-25, not interested in £3m type sums.

Ibrahim Tall Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 3 minutes ago, Sooperstar said: £20k per week. Tbh as an absurd a wage as it sounds for us, 20k pw works out to ~£1m. If we’re talking about a replacement for Shankland, the tramps spunked around £700k for 3 goals a season Vente.. his wages are probably atleast the 5k the remainder of the million would pay for too.
