Only played for Celtic this season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tap in 94 Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 Right enough mate, stupid me. Nothing in the rumours of signing Sam Nicholson from Colorado rapids? Left winger, another striker, bin Sow and a 100% fit Peter Pawlett would do me in January 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love to see him play alongside someone who does score when presented with chances and I think he and Shankland would work well as a pair. Not sure if it will happen but I'd love it to. Haven't heard anything about Morgan and I think it is very early to be identifying anyone for a loan spell. Like Safranko it would definitely get my vote. I think binning Sow completely needs to happen. That would certainly help explain why Neilson had Safranko play out on the wing for a few games towards the end of last season to accommodate Sow up front, despite the general ineffectualness of it. I'd be open to Safranko coming back on loan, his work rate for the team last season was superb, but he's not a signing we absolutely need to make imo. Appere and Clark have both worked well with Shankland up front so far, and Shankland's ruthlessness in front of goal makes you really appreciate just how wasteful Safranko could be at times. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pull My Strings Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 I'm not ashamed to say that I love Pavol Safranko and it would be great to see him back at United. He wasn't as natural a finisher as Shankland but not many are. He's got everything else you could want from a forward and would be a.great foil/competition for the other guys. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loemba90 Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 If, as expected, Jack Ross ends up as Hibs manager then I’m pretty sure they’ll be in for Morgan in January. Safranko is a possibility if he’s available and I’d be very happy to have him back. Binning Sow is a must. I was actually thinking we needed a new centre mid more than any other position. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Granny Danger Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 We will get an indication on Saturday how good we are without Shankland. Hopefully Clark and Appere can show what they are capable of. Our dependence on Shankland is a concern, given how competitive this league is, and an injury could really make things tight. Safranko, whilst not as prolific, would be a great option for the second half of the season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArabianKnight Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 If we were to sign another centre mid it would need to be someone who was at the very least an upgrade on Stanton and Kjng. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shouldn’t be too hard to find an upgrade on King. Fortunately Harkes has found a bit of form and Stanton has done ok when called upon, but another creative player in the middle of the park would be nice. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skint Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 Think we've been missing a "Stuart Armstrong" type player for few years now. Fyvie was close not a mobile and a bit injury prone.Anyone with knowledge of the reserves , is there an up and coming player to fill that slot? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Connolly Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 The thought of Safranko and Shankland as a two up front is semi-inducing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coppola Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 Having a hard time believing Morgan would end up here, Safranko seems more plausible and obv him and Shankland up front is wanking material. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking forward to McMullan and Morgan banging in crosses for Shankland and Safranko in the second half of the season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After all you guys have Anthony Ralston on loan from Celtic, aren't his wages beyond what you could afford? If players are going out on loan, depending on who is requesting the loan (player or club) and the deal, the loaning club rarely pay the full wages, but a percentage of the wage the player is on. I assume you know this & from reading your other posts it was just an opertunity to have a dig at the club using rumour, half truths and crap about spending. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dee Man Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 Shankland will be away to whoever bids the most over £400k in January. Bookmark the f**k out of this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
