Yoshi-1991

If we can stick a tricky runner along side him that can put it on a plate for him I'm sure we would bang them in. Something along the lines of the Ojamma Higdon partnership.

The slight advantage we have is we can point to the fact we have just sold someone for 3.25 million to Celtic and had a bid from a premiership club. Certainly shows he are an excellent place to be if you want to move on up and with the spare bit of folding we have, we could certainly offer Shankland a decent wage.

To be fair, if development was his goal, then surely staying at Motherwell and being the first name on the team sheet every week, playing in the same league, and playing against Celtic rather than with them would be more of a benefit.... Personally, its looking more like it really was all about the money.

I cant understand that decision, no matter how you paint it, Norwich is the better move for him by far. Certainly hasnt got off to the best start with the Celtic fans, lower level of league, less chance to play, certainly not as good a platform to show what he can do compared to the EPL. It all seems very strange. Just shows hows fucking petulant Celtic are, "deals off!" - "But I want to join you now" "aye, we were just kidding we like you really".

His intention might have been to hold out for a better deal, but in doing so he seems to have enraged the Sellic masses, he might now think moving there might be a bad idea even if he gets his money, seems a target is already painted on his back by their boo boys.

Or Burrows has seen the backlash from Motherwell fans and is perhaps slightly glad it hasn't gone through.

Probably a bit of bias talking but I really think David will stagnate at Celtic, if he wants to move on up, he needs to leave Scotland.

The only way that happens is for a better offer he's caught wind of.

Actually feel so fucking deflated. What the fuck is the point in Scottish Football.

Can find anything on it, where is he off too?

Fuck sake, I'm a riot.

I believe from memory it came from Europe somewhere. Its been so long (possibly 2012-13, that my memory may be a bit stained on it, but something tells me Juventus.)_take into account I am pretty drunk, to the point I have had to fix my spelling 6 times, right now and could be talking utter pish. (edit to add thats the melody, they lyrics were made up by the well Bois)

The down side to that is he will only have a year on his contract at that point which puts the value down.

I would add on another couple of mill to the price to any team playing in the same league regardless of who they are.

He was certainly a decent player when fit, was he as good as we like to remember? I hope so but I'm not sure. I'm more concerned about how he will be after being out for so long. A long term injury like this can play havoc with a players state of mind and they often come back half the player they were before.

Is he player manager or has he hung up the boots? Havnt actually heard much of Gretna since their demise, I am assuming with the signings they are aiming to move on up and try get back into the area they were before they farted all their cash.

Summed up in one video.

Yeah I agree, however I also think the club could do more to market it. The way they currently advertise, its aimed at already existing fans, not well tailored towards the general public.

True, but they have only ever done it for one off games and I am not sure those figures would ring true for the course of a few games or over a season. Other factors to take into account that dont stack up for one off games are things like merch, where someone going to a one off game isnt going to buy a top, someone going every week would. Also there is no momentum, if a kid is going for free every week there is a good chance that that spreads throughout their friend groups etc where as if they need to pay they may only go once in a while or not at all depending on their family's financial situation or other commitments/ cheaper alternatives. and then of course if you hook them young, they become paying ticket holders down the line.

Probably a fair bit, but my argument has always been that you would make it back with kiosk sales, merch, and the accompanying adults paying.

cheers

out of interest what was the attendance?

Not being funny, but i dont see Rangers actually making any money off him. Wouldn't be bothering with sell on and just take the cash now.

Surely in these situations they would look at the contract being offered by the new club and see what they truly value him by how much they are willing to pay him?

I must have missed this, what was said?
