From the lower leagues.

Lawrence Shankland = goal machine with Ayr Utd. Just bagged yet another hat-trick tonight.

SuperMario · 24/7/2018 9:08 pm

Steven lawless

Did we not have him on trial and decided to go with mcdonald? Be a very good addition imo

Tek · 24/7/2018 9:16 pm

There's a boy scoring frequently for Clyde.

Got another 2 tonight so far.

SuperMario · 24/7/2018 9:27 pm

Very good player!

"Scored" in the wrong goal though

Played on after the whistle to stop play had long since blown.

Has he not just signed a contract with Ayr?

Lawrence Shankland signed a contract for next season with Ayr recently, as kdyteejay says.

Previously, I'd say 'no', but looking at what we have, he may have been an improvement. Not happening though.

Swanson on loan from Hibs could be a possibility.

We should have been looking at players like that whilst they were heading out of contract.

Young, up and coming, proven scorers.

Rather than the fucking about we are currently doing.

Leaving aside numerous other considerations he's under contract and Clyde are looking for a fee.

I don't see the fascination with Shankland if I'm totally honest. Didn't light up championship with St.Mirren or Morton. Yes he scored a few in a poor league 1.I'd rather Nicky Clark/Keatings over him. He's not the type of striker we need right now, a striker in the mould of Daly, Higdon etc is what we need. Someone who is all elbows, bullies defenders, doesnt get smaller when he jumps (see danish Tam), holds it up and brings the boys around about him into play.

His goal from Saturday in the win at Partick Thistle (4 mins in).

35 yarder on a half volley.

Well there's a passive agressive post if ever there was one.

We have Curran once fit, apparently he's the nasty fucker you're talking about

I see Dundee have been linked with interest in shankland in tonight’s Tully.

Deal could be dead in the water though once they are able to understand he has just signed a new contract 😂

WeeDude_83 · 02/8/2018 1:25 pm

£250k for him. For a boy that's not made the grade in a few attempts, thats steep.
I think Clark & Keatings are good enough to get the goals, Curran to link up play. Would still like a unit to give us that option.

Ex Houston Arab · 02/8/2018 1:31 pm

I’m just stirring the pot tbh

Is Curran a big lad? I haven’t seen him due to his dead leg

Not overly, but he's busy and gets stuck in. Seen him at Brechin and his link play was superb. But it was brechin. So we'll see I guess!
