tlg1903 Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Good move for him, he should get plenty game time at a good level. He also gets the opportunity to further endear himself to Aberdeen support by rattling them in against the 'orribles 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
10menwent2mow Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Great move for Shankland although he and McManus appear to be heading in a similar direction. When you have experienced strikers performing well it's always going to be very hard to break into the team. Same goes for Cammy Smith, so hard for him to break into the team with such quality around. Low, the same. 10 - 15 years ago they'd probably have been regulars in the side instead of some of the foreign duds we had and they're miles ahead of guys like O'Donohue, Bagshaw, Tiernan, Rutkiewicz etc etc etc. we're just miles better now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jute Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Shankland going leaves us short of cover up front so would hope this means someone else is coming in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gkneil Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Apart from the guy we signed the other day? Exactly, Parker looks to have been brought in to be an impact player to come off the bench and go up top but can also play wide, providing some cover for McGinn & Hayes. No coincidence that Shankland has gone out the door a few days after Parker came in. Good luck to Lawrence. Championship is fairly competitive and of a sufficient standard to help him improve. Hopefully it'll lead to him being a bit more thoughtful about his positioning and movement. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milners Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 (edited) Shankland going leaves us short of cover up front so would hope this means someone else is coming in. Manager said there will be no more signings in the last press conference. Heard the Manager is really impressed with Parker. I thought he looked decent when he come on - very fast and had ability.

BucksburnDandy Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Shankland deal was provisionally agreed back on 16th July between the two clubs, the delay has been the acquiring of another striker, on loan. Wish Shankland all the best down the road in his loan spell, he's not yet ready for first team football here, and perhaps could have done with being out on loan last season. Hopefully he can fire in the goals and come back sharper and more ready to play first team football. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingjoey Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 I wish the guy luck and hope to be proven wrong but lets be honest here, Mcinnes is the king of taking a player in on loan and they then rarely see the light of day because he will never drop any of his faves from the team........... He is destined to be the 3rd used sub in games every 2nd game from now until his loan ends........... Somebody better tell Danny Ward that he must have signed a full contract, because he's playing every single game. He can't be on loan according to this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jute Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Apart from the guy we signed the other day? Even with Parker that only leaves us with 3 strikers at the club which leaves us short I think. we could use McGinn but McInnes had been very reluctant to play him there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy. Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Stevie May needed a season at Hamilton to turn into the St J goal machine. He scored about half an hour into his Saints debut tbf, lobbed the keeper. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RussellAnderson Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 He scored about half an hour into his Saints debut tbf, lobbed the keeper. Aye but he never really kicked on til after his spells at Alloa and Accies 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lubo_blaha Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 Apparently we are signing Ryan McLaughlin on loan from Liverpool. 20 year old Northern Irish international right-back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David W Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 Very injury prone. Looked apotential star coming up through the ranks but hasn't kicked on. Could be utilised further up the pitch as well. One of the best games I've seen him play was actually on the left wing but he normally plays on the right side (full-back or wing). Would say he was more an attacking full-back than a defensive one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starryfish Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 I wonder if the possible arrival of McLaughlin means Shay Logan will go before the transfer window closes? Would be a real shame as he's been a fine player since arriving 18 months ago. His family are still based in Manchester though so can't have been easy for him. Sell Logan and use the money generated to go for Stevie May! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glasgow-sheep Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 McLaughlin has signed Given how emphatic McInnes seemed that there would be no further signings makes me think something has happened, presumably Logan will be offski 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

williemillersmoustache Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 Hopefully he's been shite this season Shite only in comparison to how absolutely brilliant he has been previously. Will be fairly gutted if he's off, a real talent and a very important player for us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssdon Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 I see this signing as only improving the squad rather than replacing Logan. I dont see us signing May, I think we may be finished now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RussellAnderson Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 Hopefully he's not away, a terrific player. Seeing how well Ward has done since arriving from Liverpool's youth hopefully McLachlan is as good 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
