Guest Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 8 hours ago, D'Jaffo said: There’s zero point in him staying at Ayr either. The natural progression is a move up a level. Signing for Dundee Utd isn’t going up a level. Ultimately he needs to look after himself, if Dundee Utd are splashing the cash and giving him a better offer than anyone else then it could indeed be the best move for him. United are obviously expecting promotion with all the money they're spending and if and when they're promoted he will be firmly in the spotlight of a team who would be expecting top 6 in the Premiership. Remember, he's only 23 so lots of time ahead of him to get a really big move if one doesn't come off right now. In all honesty, the biggest let down for me would be to see Shankland sign for United and then move on for £500k+ in January which of course would effectively be money for nothing for United. It's also money that we would have missed out on due to the current financial setup of the game and how the smaller clubs in particular can't ever either afford, or get players to sign a decent length contract. Still, it is what it is and we all know the score................. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawlino Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 Still a big club , whats your point caller ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyrTroopMajor Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 Sunderland's owner is very active on Twitter and has indicated that talks with clubs and players over signings aren't hugely affected by the takeover. He's also not selling out completely, just selling a percentage of his stake in the club. So Shankland could still end up there. If he does end up at Dundee United though, I'll happily fight anyone who gives him pelters. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D'Jaffo Posted June 26, 2019 Author Share Posted June 26, 2019 Still a big club , whats your point caller ? It’s not about moving to a bigger club. He needs to move to a higher level otherwise it’s pointless. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawlino Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 Big club with big ambitions with a big history . Of course its about moving to a bigger club regardless what league their in .Always been a club looking to progress meanwhile wee Ayr are quite happy plundering about the lower leagues signing loan deals and older players and beating our local neighbours once every 10 years .Ayr or Dundee Utd come chapping your door . Who you going to plump for ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Premiership terms I'd lump them, Dundee Untied, along side Kilmarnock / Motherwell in term of current size. You clearly don't think Lachlan has an ambition going by that post, what makes you think he is happy just hovering around the championship / top league 1? I've seen genuine progress since McCall came in and they club is in the best shape its been in for as long as I can remember. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawlino Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 Now now , don’t get annoyed because someones not agreeing with your every word .Me personally Dundee Utd . Depends what your ambitions are i suppose .Lets see what Shanklands are and whether he signs for them or fancies returning to Ayr . Why did he not stay with Ayr if he had ambitions himself ?Dunfermline ? Yes , bigger club than Ayr . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite simple really.Signing for any club in this league is a waste of time for him regardless of who they are. Dundee Utd being a bigger club is completely irrelevant.If he has ambitions for himself and to progress his career and become a better player then he won’t sign for Dundee Utd. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’re embarsssing yourself trying to argue that. We all know you’re an alias and a troll so I suppose it’s not unexpected. Anyway, I highly doubt he’ll sign for Dundee Utd or anyone in this league. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ftk Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 All depends what clubs are in for him. If Shankland goes to a really big club will he get plenty of first team game time?Moving to Dundee Utd, playing every week and then gaining promotion to premiership could be a decent career move for him. If I was him though I would be trying to get a Scottish Premiership team or English League One/ Two club to showcase his talent. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jagfox Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 Not sure Yinited would be a great destination at the moment. Their best striker, Safranko kept getting stuck out wide with an out of sorts Osman Sow trunding about up top. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hursty Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 Might simply be a case that the bigger teams were put off by the post injury form - he only scored 2 goals from open play from Xmas onwards I think. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 Anyway, he's gone and we wish him all the best but time to concentrate on the future. That's the ST purchased for next season so another £260 in the kitty. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawlino Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 Steady Callum son . I know but they’re still a bigger club . Check out their history . Then have a look at their fan base, ground , ex-players and internationalists etc and honours . Just saying i think they’re a bigger club . Only my opinion , doesn’t make me an uneducated troll . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rb123! Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 I'm just waiting for a breaking story from the sun today about Shankland making an astonishing u-turn and potentially heading back to Ayr as McCall makes a last chance saloon contract offer to re-sign him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Currently in the championship or not. Our history and support size surpasses these clubs easily. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
