tian447 Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 I absolutely ****ing love him. It makes sense that it has taken him time to get up to speed. A brand new part of the world, and he's got to deal with the difficult fact that he has had to learn English and then had moved to a Scottish football team where he must be thinking what the actual **** is going on with what they're all saying He's got a bit of drive around him that we don't see in every player. The confidence will come, but he's clearly talented, and especially in the past few months he's shown that we are better with him on the pitch than without him. Viva Ken Vargas!

vlad on the tyne Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 That first touch, that left footed lasered finish just screamed of Sir Rudi Skacel back in the day.

red Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 That lay off for Forrest was a great sign of him learning (likely from Naismith) as 2 months ago he would have went for goal….. for his goal the way he used his body(bum) to create the space was very Shankland……. if he can learn these things that quickly he’s going to be a superstar! We must sign him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For all that he's absolutely brilliant for us, the fact we didn't get any big offers for Shankland in January makes me believe there simply aren't clubs out there who see him as being a player they think is worth shelling out several million quid for. I'm guessing that's down to a combination of his lack of pace, and his age (he'll be 29 around the start of next season) meaning he'll probably have little or no sell-on value (and possibly also just the fact he's Scottish). I don't really expect any big offers in the summer either, or at least not any that come close to reflecting how important and valuable he is to us, so I think he'll either be here till the end of his current contract then leave on a free for a wage offer we can't match, or he'll eventually decide the grass isn't always greener elsewhere, sign a new contract with us, and pretty much see out his career with us (my preferred outcome). With Vargas, he's fast, skillful, clearly has an eye for goal, and is still very young at 21. I think his potential is enormous if he has the right attitude and works hard to develop, and everything I've seen so far indicates he does have that attitude! Also, given that he's from Latin America, I suspect he may be viewed by many non-scottish clubs as being inherently more valuable in the transfer market than a comparable Scottish player might be. If he does continue to progress over the next year or two, I wouldn't be at all surprised if some biggish clubs in Spain start watching him very closely (not your Real Madrids and Barcas, obviously)!

We must sign him Noticed this too, he was always looking for options and not just going for it himself. Much more unselfish than he's been earlier in the season!! Playing like a player that is confident in his ability, which is absolutely fantastic. I wonder if we've privately taken up the option to extend, so he's playing without that kind of urgency/pressure that ends up more of a hinderance?

His decision making in the final 3rd is frustrating. So many times its just the wrong decision. I don't know if the coaching team can fix that, hopefully so because if Forrest could make slightly more correct decisions we're laughing.

merseyjambo Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 Vargas type players should be the way forward for the club for the next few years. Bring them in for 12 months with a pre arranged fee for the player. Should they not work out, they can go back. This type of arrangement will become the norm due to FFP. France/Holland/Spain/Portugal have been doing this for years by bringing in young players from Africa/South America. There are a lot of untapped areas where we can get talent from to come into the league. Aberdeen started looking towards Eastern Europe with Mijovski and I think it was Hamdani. It’s another area we should look towards. There will be talent there for us to get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
