A massive offer to Shankland I have heard, if true would be one of the best paid players out with the OF. Id rather we get someone better than Shankland for that money. Not saying hes shite like, just not worth that. Id guess that would be near the 3 grand a week mark? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Connolly Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 Just catching up on all this. Can I assume that we are signing Shankland, but Jock Tamson is out of our reach? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tannadeechee Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 Don't know if anyone has heard any of this, but saw this from a poster on another forum... "...we are the only club with a concrete offer to Shankland. there is an offer in for Craig Conway. second / third hand info that we are interested in Kyle Lafferty. and Neilson would like Harry Cochrane in (likely a loan)." If true that could be good regards Shankland, Conway, although 34, is still decent & was offered a contract at Blackburn. He rejected it to play more regularly, has highly thought of there, so could be a goo addition both on and off the field. Lafferty seems to be less unlikeable than he used to be. Played well for Hearts, but thought the way he left was a bit poor to be honest. Could be decent in Championship but he would have to have a good start as I don't think he'd get much leeway off the support. Cochrane is an interesting one. We were rumoured to be after him in January too. Seems a good player, has played well in Premiership, but will he continue to get games in Levien's massive squad or would a season with us be of more use in his progression? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DAVIDB69 Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 Never a fan of getting back washed up past it players back in a chance to recreate former “glories” never works , so I hope we don’t get Conway 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jock Tamson Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 Another signing for the Bnb's.No panic yet but I'm thinking we better get the finger out on announcing Gauld, Lafferty, Conway, and Shankland. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jagfox Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 Apparently Ogren put £600,000 into the youth system at Tannidice last week. Seems to be a neglected side of things in recent years? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to be a neglected side of things in recent years? It's certainly not been the focus which is ridiculous given the players we've produced in the last 10 years. Good to hear that money is being put into all aspects of the club and not just spunking money on journeymen who aren't capable. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting quantity is quick and easy, securing quality is more tricky and takes longer, expecially for a club offering Championship football. I'd rather we took our time and got a few quality signings rather than splurge out on panic buy shite, as we have done so often in recent years. As for the Dees, they can't afford to wait like we can due to the major squad rebuild they need. No panic here.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They may have had injury problems but at least they’ve come with more pedigree than having a relegation with hibs as the crown jewel on their cv’s. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
