Crùbag Posted December 28, 2023 Share Posted December 28, 2023 12 hours ago, hk blues said: I suppose it comes down to how much Rangers are willing to pay to give them a better shot at 1st against how much you guys are willing to turn down to remain favourites for 3rd. The money men will likely argue that Hearts will finish 3rd with or without Shankland so take the money now - that's assuming the number is in the almost too good to turn down range. All hypothetical as this moment, of course. Looks like Sevco have got yon Silva from Wolves on loan so Shanks presumably free from their clutches for the moment. Money men would be wrong there. We don't seem to have anyone bar Shanks scoring goals though our defence has learned lessons. Third w/o Shanks would be beyond us IMO. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't have anyone else scoring just now I agree, but I also think while maybe not being as consistent, we'd not fall to bits without him. We are set up to supply Shankland which is absolutely sensible. But it means guys like Vargas and Tagawa get little exposure to playing as actual strikers. I think if Shankland left and we played Boyce up top with Tagawa/Vargas we'd still score goals. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Golden God Posted December 29, 2023 Share Posted December 29, 2023 Random thought and might have been said already but just remembered, Shankland missed a penalty at Tynecastle for Hearts last season against Celtic. It was retaken because of encroachment and he scored so this wasn’t really his first miss for Hearts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was missed because hart came off his line early and gained an advantage Despite that, Ginelly scored from the rebound, after the 'save', Shankland knocked it forward for Ginelly and he netted it So, it didn't count He probably missed the last one because we've not had one in the league since January or so 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Boyce is yet to complete 90 minutes and has been out entirely for weeks he’s probably still got a role to play in this season but we should accept that he’s a supporting character as opposed to principal cast member. We can’t rely on him stepping in to the Liam Boyce role, so we shouldn’t rely on him stepping into the Shankland role Arguably we need to look for a replacement now regardless, and if Shankland leaves then that becomes more urgent 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Empty It Posted December 29, 2023 Share Posted December 29, 2023 Big fan of Elie Youan coming on and treating the game like a game of 5s, Scotland need more players with 5 star skill moves that aren't very good at football imo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
