Kyle Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 Key with Hendry will be getting him games out on loan and keeping him fit after so much disruption in his earlier career. He had one or two outstanding touches yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of them on the East Stand side he played a great flick in to Watt, who if he hadn't held onto the ball so long, could have played Hendry through for a clear run on goal.

Speak to Watt about an extension, and if it's fairly certain he's looking for a bigger club next season then let's be prepared. Could attempt to sign Shankland now and loan him back to Ayr until January. I know it's not really in our way of doing things, but a transfer fee for a young up and coming goalscorer with sell-on potential should definitely be considered. ^ doesn't remember Michael Moore... Paying money for strikers who score in League One is a fools game, a genuinely fucking diddy achievement. Shanklands started the season well but it's absolutely laughable how highly this Ayr fan talks about him, Chris Kane ran the Championship ragged, twice, yet looks nothing more than a bang average bottom half forward. Shanklands only options down south will be League Two level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without being disrespectful, he'd have left you in the Summer if he genuinely believed that. Players like Craig Sibbald took a wage cut and a risk in terms of mot being a regular to play at the top level, Shankland was happy to stay in his comfort zone at Ayr. Either that or he didn't receive any offers, which makes your mewling over getting a six figure fee even more laughable. 16 minutes ago, Ludo*1 said: A striker you say? We'll take him.

Years ago prolific for some lower league team, hyped as a massive prospect, we paid a fee, and he scored about two goals for us before slinking back to the seaside where he spent the rest of his career.

Nah, another season with us will do him the world of good, he'll keep developing here then strut his stuff elsewhere next season, where I've no idea but it won't be at Dundee or St Johnstone.

A strikeforce of Mendy, Wighton, Moussa and Kallman is beginning to look like the weakest forward line we've had since Jani Sturm, Bob Davidson, Derek Lyle, Jan Zemlik and Andy McLaren. And I bet Lyle and McLaren would have more goals than our strikeforce has currently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not comparing them directly, just highlighting why clubs at our level will rarely pay fees for players scoring in the lower tiers. 4 minutes ago, ayrmad said: Nah, another season with us will do him the world of good, he'll keep developing here then strut his stuff elsewhere next season, where I've no idea but it won't be at Dundee or St Johnstone.

I'll be delighted just to watch him for the rest of the season, anything he does after that will only affect himself and his family. I'll reiterate, I'll be delighted when he goes for heehaw next summer, most of the Ayr fans will wholeheartedly agree, that might change if we complete the miracle and do a Livi.
