BREAKING! Lawrence Shankland to leave Hearts as 'minimal difference' in contract talks leads to final breakdown

Daily record

Hibs have the opportunity to do the funniest thing ever.

[aberhibsfc]

From what I heard about him he wouldn’t sign for us anyhow and your right in if he was in the same condition he was last season its quite possible he wouldn’t be starting regularly .. 14k a week for and unfit striker as slow as a snail with a questionable attitude … No thanks! .

What did you hear?

BREAKING! Lawrence Shankland to leave Hearts as 'minimal difference' in contract talks leads to final breakdown

I’ve got a feeling we might be in for him you know. Would be an interesting addition if we are. I know some jambos who despise him, when he went on a Barron run felt like he never scored for ages in maroon, but he could maybe be a better player in the Green Ofcourse. 😉

I’m a huge Simon Murray admirer though, I’m sure he could be tempted away from the Dee considering all the changes up there.

Where I'm at with this as well. He would be expecting at least 10K a week and IMO Hibs would be off their heads to ante up that kind of wage for a player who at 29 years of age looks overweight and slow, with an allegedly stinking attitude to go with it. At 29 he should be at or just coming down from his peak as a professional athlete, especially in these days of sports science and nutrition .... not looking like his fat arse would wobble off if he broke into a run.

Nobody can deny his ability to hit the net when he's on form, but I just can't see SDG setting aside a philosophy that at the very least demands his players give all they have both in training and on matchdays to accommodate the likes of a player who clearly can't be bothered to get into, never mind keep in, peak condition, it would send out entirely the wrong message.

As for Simon Murray. The exact opposite of Shankland, a guy who simply never stops running and has a brilliant attitude, but at 33 years old it's open to question if he could keep that up for 90 plus minutes week in week out. Whether he would be willing to leave Dundee at all, never mind to possibly be a back up striker, or a guy Hibs bring on for 60 minutes per game, is open to question .... but as a guy to bring on when we need to switch things up in a game I would have him in a heartbeat.

He’s opted for family stability….rather than an extra few quid and moving house.

For sheer banter it could not be topped. The meltdown would be like nothing we had seen before however in the cold light of day we would be left with a declining player with a an attitude problem on massive wages. Would be funny though 🤣🤣🤣

Simon Murray just been made Dundee captain and went back to Dundee to be near his family and play for his boyhood team.

Can’t see him coming to us

If the rangers are interested I dont think they would look at those wages either, Shankland is a ****ing fat mess of a player who is contributing to his own downfall by stubbornly not getting himself into shape.

I dont doubt he knows where the poky is but sadly he also knows where the porky is. Clubs up and down the country would have been monitoring him and after a couple of peeks at his girth probably decided it would take a full season to get him to peak fitness and they have just said **** it and **** his attitude as a so called captain, former Scotland striker and pro footballer, if he doesnt give a **** about himself why should any other club.

He will re/sign for the tramps in an embarrassing climb down and a reduced wage with the club selling it as a massive coup, of alternatively a massive coo.

No doubt an agent ploy to squeeze Hearts will no doubt sign for them on Monday

[NC1875]

McInnes saying he’s a 30 goal a season striker means Shankland will be wanting the wages of a 30 goal a season striker.

Bumming him up in the press then offering him less money than they did originally and they’re miffed why he’s not signed.

Not the brightest over in Gorgie, seems old Del isn’t the sharpest tool in the box either.

The Hearts/Shankland situation is absolutely glorious.

All the stakeholders have now engineered a lose lose situation for Hearts, it’s brilliant.

Shankland - if he signs he’s held the club to ransom and the fans know this. If he leaves Hearts McInnes have lost out on their priority striker.

Hearts fans - have been behaving like spurned teenage girls, if he leaves it will be like Take That breaking up. If he stays they look like grovelling sycophants to a huffy, deconditioned man baby.

McKinley/Budge/Hearts - weak, weak, weak. Should have told him to bolt ages ago.

$2 million? So that's a no, then?

Note he is a defensive mid, so back up if Triantis doesn't sign?

Is there ever been any evidence that there has been any interest from anywhere?

The previous season he was the leagues Player of the Year, the Leagues top scorer and he didn’t even attract one bid.

Last season he was pish, scored all but 1 of his goals against bottom 6 sides he’s a free agent and there’s been no info re any interest from anywhere.

[CentreForward]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZK56FbZ4niI


As usual with these videos he looks good but who knows. The figure quoted that they want seems ridiculous, and surely he could only be an option if Triantis doesn’t come in. If we are going to be spending anywhere even near that sort of money it should be on a good established striker.

Correct Billy.

He's not mobile or quick so isn't going to up a level. Fair enough on his game he can sniff out a chance in the SPFL, but that's his level. It's funny how some say he drops into the false 9 position. Reason why he does this is he does not have any pace. If it's £10k plus a week he has been offered it is a bit disingenuous why he is stalling and has not signed. A few Yams I know are seething and stringing them along.

I think he will sign in the end, but the Yam will be on is back early doors if he performs as he did last season.

[Donegal Hibby]

What did you hear?

Know an English guy ( Leeds fan) who when living in Scotland use to go into a pub owned by one of Shankland’s relatives and the pub was very much like the Louden Tavern . He said they were dyed in the wool huns . I know we had players like Docherty and Murphy who were hun fans that played for us but the impression I got from the guy I spoke to was that we would be one of the last teams Shankland would want to join ..

Considering his fitness or I should say the lack of it , weird behaviour, wages he seems to want I’m really confident we won’t be looking at signing Shankland , just don’t think he’s a Gray type player , certainly not in the right character type the club have repeatedly said they want at the club too IMO .

[Paul1642]

Wages alone is why we won’t be looking at Shankland, even if you disregard all other factors (and there is quite a few). If Hearts can’t get the deal over the line then I wouldn’t expect, nor want us to offer more than they are willing to.

$2 million sounds more like a realise fee in his contract rather than a realistic amount the club are after if we’re only bidding $200k. Surely we wouldn’t be so far off the mark to only offer 10% of what a club value a player at, if any of this is even true at all.

If he does end up staying, the later he signs the better. 13 days until their first competitive fixture, 5 weeks to their first League game. It’s far from too late yet but time is ticking to get up to fitness.

Anybody know what Scottie Allan's plans are, if he is planning to hang up the boots altogether. I think it would be a good idea to offer him a coaching role at Hibs. It doesn't look like the club has filled SDG's old role as the players coach and I think Scottie would fit into that role like a glove. While Hanlon and Stevenson have both decided to continue playing. I think it would be a good time to bring someone like Scottie back to the club. I just think it makes sense.

I coach youth football at Kelty Hearts and Scott was a player coach with the senior team last year. He didn't play much towards the end of the season but was often out coaching. He remained after Mulgrew moved on but for whatever reason he didn't continue into this coming season. I don't know if it was his or the club's decision.

He got POTS for Rotherham, is versatile and a big physical lad so would suit us well you think

Oh, and opportunities if you're willing to take them. My son went out for 2 years and never came back.

And they've given us some good players.

[matty_f]

I'd said before had a feeling the Norwegian right back Hearts signed would be the pick of their signings - looks like it could be a while before they see if that pans out with rumours he's just done his ACL in training.

Wouldn't wish injury on anyone however right back was a problem position for them and looks like that could be set to continue for a while if rumours are true. .... Shame
Obviously wouldn’t wish injury on anyone but that’s great news for us, the more bad luck that befalls them, the better.

They all sell a lot **** load of players and actually get very good fees alot of the time. Means there net spend is never actually as high as you would expect.

Example.last season spent 280 million ISH but received 230 million so not actually a huge net spend at all.

Yep, he ends up in a false 9 position because teammates have run past him and he can’t keep up!

I know there’s always young players in and about the first team in terms of training, particularly in pre season you always see boys involved. Youth team, 18s, development team or whatever, I just feel we’re still a bit away from seeing any of them make a serious impact in the first team. Especially hard just now given that we’re building a good squad and spending a few quid. I’d be pleasantly surprised if we see one make a proper breakthrough this season, which I hope we do. Again, probably more difficult now the way the English teams pick a lot of them up really early post brexit as well.

What's your opinion on what you've seen of the 18s? Who do you think can make the step up? And who do you think is good enough from the 19-20 bracket? We're not really losing a 'lot' because of Brexit, we've sold a 15 yo goalie and a 17 yo striker for nearly half a million plus add ons. That's good business.

[B.H.F.C]

I’ve hardly seen anything and I’m not actually talking about the ability of the players. Only that the jump still feels really big. We seem to produce good teams at youths level, but being successful at that level as a team is different to bringing individuals in to the first team. You think of the team that competed in Europe a couple of years ago for example, how many of those boys have come through to become proper first team players? Some had a handful of appearances but nobody established.

The reference to a ‘lot’ of players being picked up wasn’t specific to Hibs either. It’s well known that it’s a market that they are looking to after Brexit and you’re reading about players getting picked up from Scottish teams, even Celtic, all the time. And I agree that if you can get that type of money for a player at that age, it is potentially good business. It becomes harder to get players in to your first team though when you’d think they’re picking up the potentially better ones.

Are you, as I know you watch a bit of them, hopeful that any of them can make a proper breakthrough this year? I look at the squad, knowing we’re going to add further, and it’s hard to see a pathway for them in to the team IMO.

[jonny]

That's not just a Hibs problem it's the same across the premier league. Its one of the reasons they've changed the CAS (club academy Scotland) Elite and performance league structure this year.
There's now u17 and u19 with no u18. By increasing to u19 it gives players (particularly the slightly later developers) another year to get physically prepared for the seniors. The updated rules on youth player loans will also help the boys playing academy football to bridge the gap.

I know it’s not a Hibs problem and we’ve seen it all chopped and changed over the years. We’ve had 21s, 20s, they tried to bring the reserves back in. Hopefully the latest change can help.

I think it basically comes down to clubs/managers being prepared to give a young player an opportunity. And with how cut throat it is these days I think it’s harder for them to do that. Unless they’re really forced in to it.

I don’t think it makes sense for that to be the case. We could have bought him at any point and agreed a transfer date of 1st July, and still announced we’d signed him. If the reason was to have it included in the 25/26 accounts.

We could’ve signed him a year ago on a deal to start on 1/7/25 and paid it in full, and it’d still be part of the 25/26 accounts. No reason to wait until July to do things.

[Northernhibee]

Given our recent signings, if we didn’t land Nectar or didn’t get him until later in the window, it’s not as big a disaster as before.

Alasanah against Rangers showed an ability to intercept from deep and look to get the ball forward, Levitt can sit a little deeper and look to create from there, and with a back three it may not be as vital to immediately have someone to just sit. Mulligan can be our defensive midfielder if needs be.

I’d still prefer to get him or a similar player if we can’t get Nectar but we’re not in the position that we’re reliant on one player like we have been in the past.

It’s quite impressive how many different players last years success was built on.

It’s referencing a hilarious article from a rangers fan website further up the page. Here’s the article for everyone’s amusement.


Rangers are reportedly keen on securing the services of Sunderland midfielder Nectarios Triantis.

Dr Rajpal Brar, an injury expert, has raved over his fitness record from the 2024/25 season, ahead of a potential medical.


Nectarios Triantis expected to clear medical this summer

Triantis’ stellar fitness record last season holds him in good stead to clear his medical, according to Dr Brar.

Rangers have been mooted as an option to sign the Sunderland midfielder as the Black Cats are likely to loan him out again next season. (Daily Record journalist Scott McDermott, 8 May)

Craig Moore has also urged the Ibrox outfit to consider signing the 22-year-old.

SPFL stats 2024/25 Nectarios Triantis
Matches 34
Goals 3
Assists 6
Triantis’ stats from last season.
Speaking about this situation, Dr Brar, a doctor in physical therapy and a sports scientist, exclusively told Ibrox News: “He was injury-free last season and that bodes well for any club looking to sign him.

Rangers can do better than Triantis this summer

Triantis could be a solid depth signing for Rangers, offering versatility across centre-back and defensive midfield roles.

His physicality, aerial ability and passing ability make him a reliable squad player, ideal for rotation in Gers’ demanding Scottish Premiership and European schedule.

However, to strengthen their starting eleven, the Ibrox side need higher-calibre options.

An absolute nothing article with a random doctor saying Rangers will sign him because he wasn’t injured last season so will pass a medical 🤣🤣

[Since452]

Sunderland to me have always been a bit of an unfashionable yo-yo club in the shadow of their bigger neighbours Newcastle.

I remember when they were up for a friendly at Easter Road about 13/14 years ago. Their songs were probably some of the most annoying and incomprehensible I've heard and I support a team in the same league as Celtic and Rangers!

No major axe to grind with Sunderland. Just see them as a bit of an irrelevant no-mark club.

Sell us Triantis and I might start to notice them a bit more.

The Levitt we had for the second half of last season was unrecognisable from the one we had prior to that, who I had written off.

I’m hoping he stays, builds on that spell of form and gives David Gray some big decisions to make.

Levitt was arguably our best midfielder in the last month or so of the season. He was playing brilliantly, as he did pretty much from January.

McGrath will probably mean Campbell plays less minutes but I’d be astonished if Levitt isn’t in the starting lineup in Denmark.

The Levitt we had for the second half of last season was unrecognisable from the one we had prior to that, who I had written off.

I’m hoping he stays, builds on that spell of form and gives David Gray some big decisions to make.

he and his missus had twins did they not… that’s a tough shift on top of training and playing. My mate emerged shell shocked about 5 years later :) we often overlook the human side of players…

[04Sauzee]

I don't want to see Levitt move on, I do however wonder what the situation is with him going into the last year of his contract. Are we actively trying to tie him up for longer or will he move on in this window as we may not want to lose him for nothing

[matty_f]

Aye Matty, first I’d heard also so done a wee bit of digging to see who it might be. Although did you not mention about breaking club record for a striker? Take it no more info on who?

No, had a few messages to say we’re going to invest a lot into a striker but no names quotes at all, so far.

[djw80!]

I would 100% try tie Levitt to new deal for me he is our most creative MF player with a great range of passing.

[Greenworld]

Levitt was arguably our best midfielder in the last month or so of the season. He was playing brilliantly, as he did pretty much from January.

McGrath will probably mean Campbell plays less minutes but I’d be astonished if Levitt isn’t in the starting lineup in Denmark.I agree he was much better im not having a go at him i just think it may well be an area of improvement. Bigger stronger faster seems to be the modern way

Campbell helps with our Euro quota and is a very good squad player.

[badabing67]

Levitt is far from being a weak option; he played a crucial role in the unbeaten run the club had in securing third place.


Correct but he is not really what you would describe as a ball winning midfielder, not that he can't win a challenge. But for example I thought he really struggled to get into any of the games he was involved in at Parkhead. I think he is a really good option to have around but it's horses for courses and we need a mixed bag in the middle. I don't think the club will be looking to off load either Levitt or Campbell so if they go I think it will be because they request to leave, which I don't see happening

One of the issues we had earlier in the season, apart from the mistakes causing us to ship goals. Our midfield was too similar; there wasn't a player there who could keep possession, spread the ball and pick a pass, the same way that Levitt does. The team was crying out for a player like him.

[ruthven_raiders]

Don't get the Miller leaving chat at all. Under contract, international, young, athletic and improving. What's not to like?

I think Hibs just activated the one year extension to protect us for getting a fee if he leaves, think if he was wanting to stay we would have had a longer deal...

They did activate the extension I guess to protect what they see as an asset. But for all we know there could still be ongoing discussions about his future between the 2 parties

I agree. He finished the season as easily one of our best players.

Sunderland to me have always been a bit of an unfashionable yo-yo club in the shadow of their bigger neighbours Newcastle.

I remember when they were up for a friendly at Easter Road about 13/14 years ago. Their songs were probably some of the most annoying and incomprehensible I've heard and I support a team in the same league as Celtic and Rangers!

No major axe to grind with Sunderland. Just see them as a bit of an irrelevant no-mark club.

Sell us Triantis and I might start to notice them a bit more.

It's just the usual pish from a folk who 99% of have never been to a Scottish football match and only ever watch the uglies play each other on the telly. The truth is they know less than nothing about Scottish football and just parrot the pish they have been conditioned to believe. I remember that friendly, there was about 10 of them sitting in the Loch Inn all wearing Sunderland tops, and when I joked to them that they looked like an explosion in a toothpaste factory it didn't even get a smile from any of them ........... nae sense o' bloody humour these mackems. Maybe that's where the nickname comes from, ye cannae mackem laugh :greengrin

You can't deny their loyalty considering the number of them who turn up to watch a club who have been utter pish for most of the 21st century. But you would think that fact would make them a bit more humble when it comes to talking about other clubs.

[flash]

Levitt has played his best football with Fuchs protecting him at Dundee United and Triantis at Hibs.

He isn't the same player when he has another midfielder who wants to direct play beside him.

Levitt from his pre and port match interviews appears to be quite laid back character and there is nothing wrong with that. If he could add a little bit more aggression to his game I think it would make him more of an all round midfielder imo

From the DR;

“ Nectarios Triantis will return for pre-season with Sunderland this week.

Hibs are in talks with the Black Cats over a move to re-sign the Australian international.

David Gray had hoped that a deal would be agreed by now but Triantis’s future is still up in the air.

The midfielder has a string of English and European options but wants to see if he will get his chance with the Premiership new boys.

The 22-year-old wants the chance to try and impress Sunderland head coach Regis Le Bris before he makes a decision on his future.

The likes of Blackburn Rovers, Portsmouth and German side St Pauli are all keen.

Triantis has spent the last two seasons on loan at Hibs, first under Nick Montgomery and now Gray.

Hibs would be keen on another loan or to buy Triantis but that move is currently up in the air.

It would take a club record purchase that the Easter Road board are prepared to sanction but first they need Triantis to tell them he wants to come back to Leith.”

That all sounds quite negative tbh, maybe Nectar isn't as keen to come back as we previously thought and feels he's good enough to play for Sunderland. Maybe another reason we're looking at other options in midfield.

Now in the difficult position of do we get a replacement in or bank on him still coming back just later on in the window?

Also probably means we don't have him for the first European games which he would of been a real asset for.

If there's any truth in the three clubs mentioned then we are goosed. All can easily exceed our transfer and wages budget and to be honest if St Pauli really are in the frame Blackburn and Portsmouth can forget it as well .... the Bundesliga where you have a higher profile and only have to play 34 league games, or the EFL championship where you have 46 games and no winter break. I know where I'd be going.

[EGL2000]

I think they looked pretty different in style. His YouTube highlights real, which will show his best bits had very little of him driving with the ball through the midfield. Something Triantis does very well. Looked more defensive minded. Did have some brilliant slide tackles though!

I still think there's a chance (pretty slim) he's not guaranteed to be starting at those teams and will really want to be playing every week with the world cup coming up.

[CentreForward]

Have had a feeling for a little while that he may well not be coming back to us and that article certainly isn’t too positive. Hope I’m wrong but who can blame him for at least wanting to give it a go at Sunderland even if ultimately he may well not make it.

[bingo70]

Obviously just passing on what they had heard but it clearly isn’t done yet or it would have been announced and he’d be with the team now.

Yeah, his agent said his priority this season is to break into the international set up and he wants to be somewhere he’ll play first team football. If he stays at Sunderland, the most optimistic case to be made would be he might be able to get onto the bench and make some sub appearances, even that is doubtful if they’re about to spend big though.

I suspect we’ll hear shortly that another club has won the race to sign him. My money would be on a championship club down south. He’d play every week at that level and they’d be able to pay a much bigger % of his wages than we could if he was to go out on loan.

[RIP]

There was chat we got a bid in for him in January from I think Wycombe and he wanted to go.

Given
where we were sitting at the start of December when they were sniffing about
and where Wycombe were (sitting 2nd in League One with potential promotion to the Championship)
and when he wasn't a regular starter

I can understand why LM might have considered a move.


However we ended up third, are strengthening and the club is looking forward to Europe. Wycombe lost their Head Coach in January, missed out on promotion and have an average home attendance lower than Falkirk.

Lewis should be staying put!

If not, I’m excited to see who we sign instead. Players will always come and go, when we have someone on loan who did as well as he did last season, there’s always a good chance he’ll move on so I’m sure the club will be knowing how long to wait and have plates spinning in the background.

Hopefully Nectar signs ,it would be sore to lose him but things carry on if need be .

It's a big decision for him though, especially in a World Cup year. He wasn't part of their 26 man squad for their last game, and he's still uncapped at 22 year old. He'll need to continue to progress if he wants to go to the World Cup. He'll play football at Hibs, he might not if he moves elsewhere.

I always thought there would be a deal to be done with Sunderland. And he’s probably not on huge money there either, given where he signed from and how old he was at the time. Thought it would come down to where he sees himself playing, or whether he thought he’d give it a shot at trying to force his way in down there in pre season. It wouldn’t surprise me if what you post is correct.

[Donegal Hibby]

I did think he’d maybe fancy another challenge. 18 months he's been here now through two loan spells.

He might do though in the 18 months he’s been here he’s improved considerably and another season or two could see him develop further , he knows he has a manager that believes in him and he’ll see regular game time at us which he knows .

I’ve read a few articles today and Sunderland are interested ( fierce competition as well ) in Hamed Traore at around £16m plus . I think he’ll definitely be moving and if we get him great but if we don’t I’m sure the club will sign a suitable replacement instead .

I maintain that he represents a fantastic, cheap option to provide a great shift for Sunderland in midfield the year after next, when they're trying to get promoted out of the Championship again.

A loan to us surely makes most sense to all parties - we'd like to get a great player for another year, he wants to play every week in the run up to the World Cup and Sunderland get a fairly polished player back when they're more likely to need to use him than now.

Of course we want to have him permanently but I don't get why Sunderland would want to accept relative buttons for him? I say relative buttons, we'd be smashing records to sign him but they're currently buying and selling in the £30m+ player range so anything we pay would be relative buttons.

Any party gets greedy, they risk missing out on the goodness that is already great for all 3 parties.

[J-C]

Depends if the new manager at Sunderland wants to play him in the middle or in defence where they bought him for, He seems a confident lad and he may well want to try his hand in the EPL and why not.

Important to recognise this is a good window even if we don't get him.

Would be easy to forget all the good work that has been done if this one doesn't happen.
