Yep, it's going to be interesting when they get back up next season. Certainly going to open up old scores that need to be settled. It's been a long time coming, would rather it never happened and D Utd went to the wall - there is still hope though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Answer, none on both counts so dont even mention him in the same sentence as Morelos. Of course if United meet the tarriers in the cup and Shankland scores he will then be the real deal and better than Morelos using tarrier logic.

He went on to score goals in the top-tier and at international level. Robertson played in the lower leagues and now has a Champions League medal. It’s foolish to write players off just because of the league they play in. I doubt Finland is regarded as a high standard of league but yet we signed Morelos from there. I don’t think anyone will know how good Shankland is, or how far he can go, until he makes a step up. He’s obviously far too good for the Scottish Championship. I wouldn’t take a punt on him now because Dundee United will want millions. Good post mate........... you never know how good a player is until you see them put to the test at a higher level........... look at AM for the perfect example.

Bigsasasfloppyhair 13,310 Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 There was a young boy scored a hat trick for Falkirk today. Should we sign him up to? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
35 Yard Dangerman 3,476 Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 Heard from a good Ayr Utd source that Dundee Utd offered him double what we did at the time. Cant honestly say I think he's one that got away. One of us aswell. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

For every Robertson and thumb there are hundreds of others that dont push on. Maybe shankland will do really well, but its like you say for what he would cost us now we could add a bit more and get someone in more suited to our style. The time to take a punt was before he went to utd when he would have cost peanuts. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In years gone by the Scottish market was our only shopping place we done not too bad though with Cooper/Doddie/ Forsyth/McLean/Smith/Stein/and plenty more Bobby Russell was even signed from Shettleston Juniors and that just seems mental that such a quality player was playing at that level, remember the Eindhoven goal? my fav ever. We also had some duffers along the way but every single signing is a gamble, as you say Shankland from Ayr was the time to gamble. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laudrupsleftfoot 10,874 Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 I don't think he has anywhere near enough pace but despite all that is lacking in his game the boy knows where the back of the net is.

philiprfc 1,799 Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 He'll go to England imo, best fit for him. Too pricey now for an Aberdeen, Hearts etc and he's never gonna get a game for either us or the tarriers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElBufalo20 7,892 Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 We should’ve signed him in the summer and loaned him out. He was a no risk signing then. Wouldnt waste money on him now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
