When we harvest the magic money tree, we can buy better players than Shankland. The money wasted on Danilo and Dessers is criminal. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

How is this possible if losing possession is so bad? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It means he's not suited to holding play up or link-up play. What he can do is score goals when ball is in the box and he takes Hearts penalties. Other than taking penalties, it's Dessers mark 2 (on a lesser wage). Dessers was scoring goals when Clement first took over and this was down to us getting the ball into the area from wide positions. We now play the long-ball far too often which means we lose possession. In our current system Shankland would be as ineffective as Dessers. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We unearthed Morelos for £1M - good scouting, great value for money and turned into our top goalscorer in European compitions. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe he would, I think he would be an improvement but I will never change anyone's mind. He would definitely be cheaper which would fit in well with our current aggressive downsizing. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We didnt get lucky with Aribo, he was highly rated and expensive. Kamara and Sakala were good signings yes. Bassey was a fantastic signing. Now list the ones that were crap and a waste of money. If you have a spare 48 hours. Edited October 22 by Sutton_blows_goats 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are correct that it would fit into the downsizing model the club is implementing. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mentioned that there are many examples of us getting it wrong. What that points to is the club not having the correct people in charge of recruitment (historically and currently). All our issues lead back to those in charge of the club. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
