Shankland will get 5k max a week if going to England and when I say max, I'd be amazed if he got that.
Not suggesting he's a bad player (far from it) but why would a club pay more when they know the player would accept 8x his current salary.
Perhaps their skill sets were covered by other members of the board and didn't fit into a forward thinking Kilmarnock?
Both are individually well respected but maybe it was time for a new direction at board level.
I don't know but can't say I'm overly concerned.
Whilst bored at the Oldham v Cheltenham game tonight, I noticed JJ was out for dinner tonight with "footballing advisor" Barry Hughes according to his Instagram.
Wonder what advise he is giving. New studs perhaps?
Any idea why Tshibola is kicking about Madrid tonight instead of in Kinshasa?
Injured or fallen out with the DRC FA?
Edit.
Looks like an administrative error with FIFA.
He has a chance.
Undoubted talent. Hopefully it can be managed.
Hasn't trained with the 1st team for about a month at oldham so may be a bit behind regards fitness. Same with Stewart.
So just how good is Shankland?
Did his goals come last season as he was playing against part-timers or are you confident he can continue to improve?
I watched him twice last season and I think he has a chance to step back up to the premier at some point.
