From reading about Sloth he has had a bit of success in a role playing behind the stiker too. It will be a case of trying it out I'd think and if it doesn't work the manager will look at a new formation to use the players he has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuwell Posted June 22, 2019 Report Share Posted June 22, 2019 Signing Lafferty could be a mistake, high earner with little sell on value, hit headed at times and didn’t standout at Hearts last season. Money could be better spent I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Money could be better spent I think. Question is where?? If his wage demands were in line with our wage structure I'd take him in a heartbeat tbh. Not prolific but gets goals, could play pretty much anywhere across the front 3, has a habit of riling defenders and still got a few years in him.

Going by Alan Burrows' comments, SR will continue to pursue an attractive playing style. From the little I've gleaned about Casper Sloth he is an all rounder in the Gorrin style.

Yassin Posted June 22, 2019 Report Share Posted June 22, 2019 Lafferty has a proven track record, a season as third choice striker for a manager who prefers one up top at Rangers doesn't really change that in my view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robsterwood Posted June 23, 2019 Report Share Posted June 23, 2019 Any idea of players available at moment within price range? Shankland a possibility? Liam Boyce? Johnson left? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fizoxy Posted June 23, 2019 Report Share Posted June 23, 2019 No chance of shankland. Our remaining signings will come from the “never heard of him, so must be shite ” or the “I’ve heard of him, he’s shite” categories. I think the biggest possible signing would be getting Ariyibi back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobey_Dosser Posted June 23, 2019 Report Share Posted June 23, 2019 The likelihood is we’ll be signing players we haven’t heard of. However, I was wondering if we might be in for local boy Lewis MacLeod. He’s been dogged by injury since leaving Rangers but is a talented midfielder. Luke Leahy is another player I’ve been keen on for years but we seem to be covered at left back now. And while it splits opinion, I hope we have a chance of getting Mikey Johnston on loan.

Yorkyred Posted June 23, 2019 Report Share Posted June 23, 2019 Yep, 3/4 more players no one has heard of in all likelihood. The club has made it clear over the Robinson era what the recruitment policy would be, don’t see that changing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dossertillidie2 Posted June 23, 2019 Report Share Posted June 23, 2019 Working through a couple of line ups with the players we have in my head ,it’s clear we need 1.goal scoring Centre forward 2. Left mid/winger 3. X2 right mid/wingers out of the small number of people we have been linked with, Lafferty and gboly would satisfy me in two of those positions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wages would probably be an issue too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DEWELL Posted June 23, 2019 Report Share Posted June 23, 2019 Sevco releasing Dorrans. I'd take him with Lafferty and Shankland . Oh well it's nice to dream.

Would be happy with Lafferty and Shankland. Can see the former happening due to the N.Ireland links, but just can’t see Shankland happening. He will have better options than us.

dinnae-punt-it Posted June 23, 2019 Report Share Posted June 23, 2019 Chuks Aneke at MK Dons was the other one mentioned who Hearts/Hibs were interested in, who is out of contract this summer. Having watched some clips of him, he would be a great option for us if we could afford him, but again I think wages would be an issue. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

The one issue for me with Shankland is that I don’t think the lone striker role would suit him. I see him as an upgrade on a striker like Danny Johnson i.e. a penalty box poacher.

dinnae-punt-it Posted June 23, 2019 Report Share Posted June 23, 2019 Another concern I have with Shankland is that he carries a bit of weight and isn’t the quickest. I have a suspicion that he won’t be as effective when stepping up a league. Might be why he hasn’t found a club down south yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
