Not sure how much truth in these reports, but multiple twitter sports accounts reporting Shankland away in £1 million deal to Belgium.

Scott Burns saying no deal agreed "yet".

AFAIK the deal is close to being over the line.

That's the Gazet Van Antwerp reporting it. Still to pass medical and announcement later this week. €1.18 million

The tapping sound you can hear is Funsters furiously deleting the posts saying we’d be lucky to get half a million for him, just in case this this report is true.

After last season, and with only a year left on his contract, thats a decent price.  You would also think that he would get a decent amount of playing time in a league that's probably slightly better than the Scottish Premiership.

£1m would just about cover Shank's wages over the last couple of years, so good business!

If we can bring in McNulty on a free, I'd be happy with that. He's no Shankland but capable of being a good top6 forward.

Except you only have to go back a few pages to see it was your fellow fans saying this most recently...

Shankland needs to move for his own sake. The way we're playing just makes him look like a mediocre player which is far from the case.

If we can get 750k for him, we got 2 decent years out of him where he got us out the championship and helped keep us up, I don't think anyone can complain.

No danger will we get that for him.

As good a player he is, we'll never get that under the circumstances - we just haven't utilised him well enough. If we get £500k it'll be a good enough fee with a year left on his deal and pre contracts just around the corner.

For his sake he'd be fucking mental to sign a new deal, even if it doubles his wage.

It's a decent price all things considered. Fully expect him to go for much more next time he moves.

If McNulty's the replacement then fair enough. He's a good player and will do better played in the correct position. I'd rather we brought in a big b*****d though. Pav, ideally, or someone with a similar presence.

We also said Tam Courts was shite just before we were the first team to beat Sevco in the league in forty games.  It’s reverse psychology.

Its sad, yet not surprising, that I have to explain this to you.

As long as that makes sense to you Clive, that's the main thing.

Probably less raging that Legzdins who collects nothing but balls out the back of his net 🤣

Sure that was funnier in your head m8.
