ceudmilefailte Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 (edited) I don't get Shankland, is there some sort of mental issue that has stopped him from at least trying at a higher level?

While there’s no denying he’s an excellent goal scorer at his current level just now, he’s had his moments where he’s been poor. Aberdeen were happy to release him and his second loan spell at St Mirren was woeful where he piled on the weight. He was close to drifting further down the leagues after another unconvincing spell at Morton. Its only been the last 18 months or so that he’s finally got his act together, thanks mostly to Ian McCall. I hope he has another prolific season and makes the step up either to another club or with Utd but is there perhaps a reason that English or Scottish Premier clubs never took at chance this summer?

Texas Pete Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 I have watched the video again as I’m pretty sure McBurnie says ‘I don’t know’ and not ‘I hope not’. It’s difficult to tell with his accent though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think you may be right with this, he's got a similar accent to me (both from West Yorkshire) and it sounds a lot more like 'I don't know' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the other hand, people often do things that don't make sense. Hopefully this gets clarified soon. Can only think something happened during the Kazhakstan trip to make him allegedly have this attitude. Very disappointing, guy is still getting to grips with international level but will be a good forward in time as he's proved last few years at club level and could well do in premier league this season.

We have Naismith, McBurnie, and Russell, Shankland certainly wouldn't look out of place in the company of these 3 greats... On a serious note, McGinn was deemed good enough whilst playing in the championship we dont have Fletcher or Griffiths which leaves plenty of space to bring in Shankland and have a look at him. 37 minutes ago, ceudmilefailte said: I don't get Shankland, is there some sort of mental issue that has stopped him from at least trying at a higher level? Shankland thought that was him made when on Aberdeens books. When McCall eventually took him to Ayr he told him a few home truths, that was Shanklands last chance at full time football. Since then hes lost about a stone in weight and his overall fitness has improved massively. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lairdyfaeinverclyde Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 Surprised the Dark_Knight (Chripper) has not posted it is Kieran Tierney who could be influencing McBurnie if this is real. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teale27 Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 Anyone that has seen shankland over past couple of seasons can see he is the real deal and upto him how far he goes really. All he lacks is lightening pace. Can see why not been called up for these games but come San Marino, Kazakhstan and Cyprus would be disappointed if he didn’t get a chance. Better than Brophy, and past it Naismith, fletcher, Russell etc. Mcburnie deserves his chance now and griffiths when he’s back will no doubt start but could do a lot worse than getting shankland in the squad now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shankland needs to get a move to higher level before he is considered for the national team. If he’s that good he won’t be in the Championship for long.

I'd say Russell gets an unfair rep because of where he plays but it was the same when he was at Derby. He puts in a better shift than a lot of lads we've had in recent campaigns. As for Shankland, I'd be interested to know what was said in his talks with Sunderland & with SPL clubs. He said in the summer he was prioritising game time over money with regards to who he'd sign for. Maybe Dundee Utd have said they won't stand in his way for a move if his goals get them promoted whilst guaranteeing him first team football?
