Stan Bo Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 There is definitely some ability in there with Shankland. His form and quality of goals he scored in the short spell under Rae showed that. Based on experience I wouldn't fancy him in a team in a relegation fight. Last season he was one of the worst performers in an absolutely abysmal team. Seemed to chuck it early and couldn't motivate himself to do the basics (i.e. Staying fit). Possibly to do with the comfort of a decent contract with Aberdeen.Could be a decent signing if he treats it as his last chance, could also be a disaster going part time and has more time to sit on his arse 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jan Vojáček Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 Sutton would be ideal imo. I'd be delighted if we could get him in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Parr Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 Sutton owns one of the most tragic sights I've seen in football; him running about on his own up top when Spurs done Hearts for 5 a few years ago at Tynecastle. Brutal. Sure he'd do fine at the Rock. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive seen him at many clubs and the only time he looked effective was his first stint at Motherwell. Since then he's been a journeyman who hasnt really showed consistency IMO and i think its because he has lost motivation.Cant see coming to Sons changing that TBH.I stand to be corrected of course. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough, I see him as a hold up/link player and I think if Nade was out Sutton would be a good replacement. He'd chip in with a few goals too. I doubt we're in for him anyway to be honest. Sons24 articles have started on the OS too. Lovely jubbly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah who knows he could work out but i just see him as another Ryan Stevenson...basically a decent player but lost direction and motivation.Also is only 5 foot 5 when jumping for a ball despite standing at 6 feet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Vojáček Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 From The Sun - the same article as earlier, but that last line adds a bit more context to it. Written by Craig Stewart who is normally quite on the ball with goings on at the Rock. DUMBARTON could be set to hand Lawrence Shankland the chance to win a deal. Sons boss Stevie Aitken is interested in the former Aberdeen striker after his trial with Dundee United came to an end. Aitken said: “Lawrence’s name was put to me recently as he has had not found a club. “I brought in Danny Handling from Hibs last weekend to join our attack, but there is still scope in my squad for further additions. “It could be Lawrence would prove useful to us.” The 21-year-old began at Queen’s Park before joining the Dons in 2013, but boss Derek McInnes released him in May. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Moonster Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 Pretty honest opening article in the Sons24 with a good piece from Stevie. He clearly recognises that we need to beat the teams around us, especially at home this season. Nice wee GIUY to Ray McKinnon in there too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It reads like he's keeping Shankland there as a back up option. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
