Trusty was on £26k p.w. at Sheff Utd and lost his place to Scales for a while. Has he taken a wage cut?

Thats about £10k p.w. more than the japanese internationals are on if the figures I read are true

Exactly, he’s definitely not coming up here unless it’s worth his while. Could have had a good season in the championship and got another big move. They will be paying him well.

It was part of the roof on our old stand I was talking about but I did see some kind of banner ripping at Parkhead

Id still take Shankland.

 

Probably get him for about £10k a week tops, helps with Euro quota etc.

 

He has had a shocker of a season, but Hearts have been in meltdown.

I'd rather hope we look at some harder guys than EPL/Championship fair-weather players. Right now, we need people able to hold their own against these "Scottish" hammer-throwers and fridge-jugglers. People not necessarily able to dance past five defenders and fail at the sixth, as well as having some muscle failure after 3 months in Scotland. In that respect, someone like Shankland wouldn't be a bad choice, since he knows the score, the league, and the demands. Like Boyd, he won't be the answer for each game ... then again, our manager apparently thinks that much change in terms of players and system are not necessary anyway. Last season, Shankland, much like Igamane does now, shoots from any angle possible, which 8 out of 10 others don't. Hence, both look rather prolific. He might not be as lethal this season, but a Shankland up front would always draw defenders to him and thus opening spaces for others to exploit. IF we manage to fill the slots of these "others" with people using these spaces and likewise are able to score. TBH, the last chap who did this admirably was Jason Holt, before he was placed further back in a more holding role. Plain madness back then, but there you go.

 

Now, I am neither saying that Holt was a stand-out player, but he did well there. Nor that Shankland is the answer. Given our lack of strikers, someone like him for virtually nothing (and being a Scot) should be a given. An injury to Igamane and we'd be down to Dessers (if he's still there), Danilo, and Lovelace? With the latter two having regular appointments with the nurse (does she look any good, BTW?) too. Maybe there's a role for Tavernier after all ... if we get another fit (!) right-back.

 

NB: I think we might deal in Cameron for the summer and snap him up late in the window, as Dundee sure wants some cash. Maybe PC has come to his senses about Rice and Curtis, and perhaps the odd other too, so we will use the rest of the season to settle a few younger players in the first team before the B team gets scrapped.

Rangers are willing to sell Ridvan Yilmaz in the current transfer window with Besiktas holding a meeting over his potential signing, according to Mustafa Korkusuz.

The TRT Spor journalist, based in Turkiye, revealed (24 January) that discussions have been held over a potential switch for the left-back who could join up with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side before the transfer deadline.

Deals regarding players moving to Turkish clubs can be completed up until 11 February, giving all parties longer to make the switch happen, potentially recouping a tidy sum at Ibrox.

Yilmaz started in an advanced role on the left-hand side for Philippe Clement’s Gers at Manchester United on Thursday night in the Europa League (23 January).

“Beşiktaş will definitely make the left-back transfer. Rıdvan Yılmaz is on Beşiktaş’s agenda,” Korkusuz said, as quoted on X (24 January) by 1903 Digitale.

Well, he's an asset, if we want to rely solely on Jefte and ... ahem ... Jefte.
