United should be good enough to get out that league without spending more than half the premier league clubs. £3k per week on a championship player isn’t value for money any way you cut it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes. But if shankland is worth 5 million in 12 months time, they get up and they make a pile of money. If they dont and he is not, they have made a bad call. It’s about speculating at the right time in the right way. Only time can tell but this guy looks a goal machine. Guys like Bernie slaven and owen coyle got moves to England on the back of scoring goals in the lower leagues. I think Utd are quids in here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes and if Shankland is on crutches in a fortnights time they’ve spunked a huge chunk of their budget down the drain. Allan Russell and Dennis Wyness scored goals in the lower leagues. It didn’t translate into premier league goals or huge transfer fees. And if we’re going to speculate, I’d rather do it with younger players with potential, instead of players we wouldn’t even get a development fee for. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s why think need a balance on risk. Not saying all 100k plus salary investments. Others from lower leagues with less profile. But not sure we bust ourselves on Russel and Aberdeen recovered from wyness. There should be room for us to grab some of the most promising players from lower leagues. Often Scottish and more motivated to stay and play in Scotland’s top teams. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were willing to pay a transfer fee for Russell though and iirc Airdrie bumped up the price at the last minute (January transfer window), the deal fell through and we signed him for free in the summer. Shankland doesn't look like value for money to me. In that price bracket we need the finished article. Not someone who maybe has potential. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did Wyness not get quite a few goals in the top league with ICT?... even if his goal return wasn't high he was an important player for them if my memory is right. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

piffer Posted August 10, 2019 Report Share Posted August 10, 2019 I’d love to see him do it at a higher level. He was less of a gamble for United than anyone in the top flight could take on that money. Tried and tested in the Championship but we don’t know if he can go higher. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thebigguy68 Posted September 21, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2019 12 goals now already this season. Makes scoring look easy. He’s not quick, he’s not that tall, he’s not particularly skilful and he maybe doesn’t run the channels as well as some....but he scores goals and plenty of them....and he will go on to play and score at a higher level...shame most likely won’t be with us. -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zorro Posted September 23, 2019 Report Share Posted September 23, 2019 Next time we’re up against a team of lower league journeymen, Shankland should get a call up. The idea he’s better than McBurnie is laughable. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killiepies Posted September 23, 2019 Report Share Posted September 23, 2019 McBurnie is probably one of the worst centres ever to play in the EPL and more to the point doesn't care wether he plays for Scotland or not .I would give Shankland the nod over him every day of the week . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thankfully your opportunity to pick or exclude either will be restricted to playing games consoles. McBurnie would be on 30 goals already playing against Scottish championship defenders. Iirc even Waghorn was a twenty goal as season guy in that league. Dobbie is regularly among the top scorers and he’s been more or less semi-retired for a couple of years. The championship is a woeful standard. You wouldn’t be surprised to see any team in that league being beaten by Talbot. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's if he ever plays more then 25 games at that level. Anyone old enough to remember the goal.machine that was John Sludden should be very careful at saying Shankland is international class. Sludden has a level at which he was superb beyond that he was put of his depth and less than useless. IMO Shankland will prove to be the same. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zorro on his high horse again. Arrogance, in what way is my comment arrogant ? We have no chance of qualifying through the group phase and San Marino are the weakest team in the group so why not try Shankland ? It is extreme arrogance to suggest that a striker scoring goals for two different Championship teams can't reach a higher level. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
