If you don't go to Galleria Borghese, you're doing it wrong.

Rangers shelling out on a loan striker fi wolves.
Thick bun tramps thinking they can afford Shankland, though.

Can we please be clear that it will take £7/8m for Shankland to move in January? If nobody is willing to pay that or believe it's overpriced, then that's fine, but his goals will fire us to the ~£5m that third place brings in, and then there's the additional value of the player himself on top of that. It's fairly simple stuff.

He's made it abundantly clear in the past with all his photos during games, going on tours on his birthday and the loveheart emojis - whilst playing in Scotland.
My source : Shankland's socials, bro.

The things Rangers have in their favour is its coming to a point where its now or never if he wants to sign for the club he openly adores. He could quite easily be unsettled.
Shankland 'adores' Rangers.

That's nice. It's unfortunate Rangers are unable to afford him.

Thank you.
Only if bigger clubs than Rangers from the English Championship cough up, or the Saudis. It certainly won't be Ibrox.
Sad to see Dundee fans shilling for Glasgow Rangers.
32 minutes ago, Derry Alli said:I said it could be. In two years he's 30. Rangers could have moved on by then.
It wouldn't be the first case of a player downing tools.
If he decides to down tools he can kiss goodbye to seeing Germany in the summer. Won't happen.
Hopefully we do let his contract run down and he decides to sign another three-year deal when the time comes.

If sign a striker during this window it'll be a loan deal and that's it. Shankland is perfectly safe at Hearts.
So long as you understand that Shankland won't be joining Rangers next month, that's fine. Perhaps you could pass it on to the rest of the dumplings in your support.
3 minutes ago, bennett said:Like a 3rd rate Kris Boyd basically. We've got a defender who is usually more prolific infront of goal tbh.
Why is the majority of your fan base chugging themselves silly thinking it's in the bag for this third rate Kris Boyd?
Are you all just really thick?

Nobody is going to pay £7/8m for him, let alone Rangers. I agree we can’t afford him. He is worth a lot of money to Hearts.
If nobody is going to pay that, it's fine by me as it means he won't be going anywhere in January. He is the difference between us getting European riches and not, which obviously has to be taken into account regarding his overall valuation. His value will likely come down a bit in the summer unless he has a stormer at the Euros, but even then it will still take £3/4m to land his signature. I imagine this is what will probably happen, unless come the summer Rangers end up looking elsewhere.

There'll be loads and loads written and spoken about Shankland in the coming weeks.
It's quite simple. Finishing 3rd is probably worth £4-5m to Hearts. With Shankland, I think we're favourites to do that. Without him, it's very much up in the air.
If we get offered £4m or more, I think there's a discussion to be had and a decision to be made. Below that, I don't really see a rationale for selling him. If other clubs don't think he's worth that, that's fine.
If his goals get us third and we sell him for a lower fee next summer, then we come out of the deal up overall and are well placed to replace him. Seems obvious to me. And if he goes to the Euros and scores a goal or wins a corner, then we might be able to bump that up a bit.
I don't see why we'd sell this January unless it's daft money.
He won't be sold in January unless it's for ridiculous money, and anything equivalent or below what we'll make for finishing third doesn't fall into that category.
Ideal scenario is he injures himself for a few months while scoring the winner in the Euros final, which causes other clubs to look elsewhere, before he then signs a new five-year bumper deal with Hertz.

I don’t think many Rangers fans would expect to get Shankland on the cheap. He is absolutely lethal, a player really carrying a side right now.
I actually agree that we probably can’t afford him, but to suggest a price tag of £10m is very wishful thinking, IMO.
I said closer to £10m. Plenty folk, whether at the wind-up or not, reckon £2/3m and he'll be away. Pure fantasy. Rangers would probably get him for £7/8m, but they won't/can't pay that.

Rangers fans need to get it through their cretinous skulls that unless they cough up closer to £10m, Shankland won't be going anywhere in January. Alas, they are a bunch of utter tramps, so they won't.
This ain't ~2010 where Hearts are toiling for cash and urgently need to sell. We have no reason to, and he is clearly happy enough at present. The board also know they are under pressure after the recent AGM and won't entertain anything other than silly money.
Nor can he afford to down tools and/or chuck the toys out the pram to try and force a move if he hopes to be on the plane to Germany, let alone push to start as Scotland's number nine in the summer.
The ball is firmly in Heart of Midlothian's court. Unlucky.

I’m kinda answering your post on the other thread here but it works cos let’s people see the system your advocating
I don’t think it’s viable because it totally avoids the fact that McTominays goals have come because he’s not the striker
Imagine him with back to goal holding up play? How’s that gonna work
Ive watched Lewis Ferguson in Serie A a few times this season and much as I like him as a player reality is it’s our strongest part of the pitch
I would be open to shaking up the striker department but it’s gonna need a cracking run of form from someone, starting about now to change the four most commonly mentioned
Love to see Stewart make it but would have to be at Dykes expense - not yet likely
Adams needs to get back too it, he’s done nothing of late, Brown must fancy his place next month
The 23 man squad is very restrictive given the stick ons
We could maybe sacrifice one of Cooper or Hanley to bring an extra forward in?
Valid concerns, as perhaps would be a loss of physicality in midfield. With us already qualified, however, the upcoming matches next month and/or other games we will play pre-tournament would be an opportune time to develop a 'plan B'.
McTominay's goal for Man United tonight was everything you would want from a number nine. Let's not forget it's not an alien position for him: he often played as a striker in his youth.
Ideally, someone will have a storming second half of the season and play themselves right into contention (I'm looking at you, Ross Stewart).

I'd like to see us stick McSauce up top in these games, with Ferguson coming in from the start.
Dykes has done a solid for Scotland, but we shouldn't be sentimental here (i.e. sticking with Marshall instead of Gordon at the last tournament). Adams missed a sitter which should have got us a point in Spain. McTominay has shown himself to be a fucking goal machine, on top of the physical attributes he provides. I really hope this is something we consider.
Frankly, it's also just getting increasingly harder to justify Ferguson not starting matches. We have shoehorned Robertson and Tierney into an excellent system that works for us. I believe doing similar in this regard would strengthen us further.

Torn between being disappointed that Scottish independence is now never going to happen for at least a generation, but also being delighted at everything falling in on so many snakes and lickspittles.
Moving abroad has never looked so appealing, imo.

We are regressing as our main men and the dour one's favourites don't get as much game time at their clubs in the EPL. It will be third place and the play-offs again for us.
Haaland would have bagged about eight against these chumps in the first half, probably all assisted by Odegaard.
Right, we are fucking brilliant and I am an absolute cretin (never in doubt, etc etc).
See you all in Germany next summer.

I saw you'd responded, and genuinely thought to myself 'I bet his reply contains the word "simps'". Delighted to note that it did. You do not disappoint.
Don't ever change.
Actually, no. Change.
Someone isn't taking the self-destruction of the SNP well. Sad to see.

Yup, though that applies for any attraction/museum worth seeing really, particularly in Rome/Italy.
