I hope Shankland signs a 4 year deal with them. He's always been a talented player but his fitness level has never really been where it should be which is probably why he didn't make it in Belgium. Now that he's heading into his 30s , he's going to find it more and more of a struggle to be fit enough. If he does go to West Brom he'll be back up the road on loan by the January window.

They did but also had a manager in charge that didn’t have a scooby and was playing him in attacking mid/just behind the striker.

Wasn’t much of a surprise he started scoring again when he was put up top and Critchley was away.

I reckon anyone who doesn’t think shankland staying, especially with mcinnes in charge, would be a massive for them, is lying to themselves.

I'd be much happier if he left.

Dinnae get me wrong, I'm far more concerned with what we do, but I'd prefer Hearts to be poor, and they'll be poorer without him.

I thought shankland had gone to west brom?

I asked my baggies supporting chum who is reasonably itk.


Seemingly - They were interested up until his agent started hawking him around other clubs off the press coverage sparked up by WBA's interest. Once they got wind of that the Baggies dropped interest and have moved on.

I tend to second guess Hearts' fortunes by imagining what the next season's worth of nauseating media coverage is going to centre on.

Any sort of Shankland renaissance is going to be lapped up, so would be in equal measures entirely predictable and also boak-inducing.

I predict Hertz announce Shankland staying over next couple of days and pretend it's because of Blooms investment.

I'd be surprised if he doesn't say at Hearts. His stock fell dramatically last season. Can't see the likes of Rangers being interested at all now.

Probably. Would be huge for them if he stays unfortunately.

A striker with the ability to bag as many goals as he can could be difference between European places and bottom 6

Huge being the operative word with Tefal heed.

Yeah it's total nonsense account. Honestly don't think there's anything sadder than folk like that who go to the time and effort to maintain an account like that, just churning out made up stuff. Genuinely pathetic

It was public knowledge then though as the Hibs observer was reporting it before then.

Why would a journalist use a picture of the guy from Outlander as his profile pic?

[Since452]

If Hibs signed Triantis permanently I think I'd genuinely touch myself in an inappropriate manner and I'm not even being dramatic. Quite the contrast to the rage I felt last year when we signed him.

We were linked with Manneh for the majority of the month though iirc

A shiver up the spine thinking about Liam Scales in a hibs top.

The man who was sent off twice in the same season at ER. No thanks, I’d much rather have Porteous back if that’s a viable option.

Its just pure ejaculation, nothing signed yet

[Steve20]

At the moment, we are Rocky, Triantis, Hoilett, Gayle and Kukharevych down from last season and have brought in Sallinger and McGrath. So we are still well short to get to what we were last season. Plus, Aberdeen and Hearts will be stronger (I know people want to believe otherwise but they will). So we need a much stronger squad than last season to get top 3 and win a cup, which should always be the aim.

So, it's about time we were getting players in. And a good recruitment team would have players identified. No point spending a season qualifying for Europe and then being under prepared for it. Have the majority of the team ready and having had a couple weeks together before the real stuff kicks off. The teams that perform the best always tend to have their major transfers done early.

I do think Aberdeen getting the guaranteed European money has made the level of signings we bring in down a level. Or certainly much more difficult to get them in.

The "journalist" that tweeted about Triantis also has us interested in a couple of players from Hacken, Don't shoot the messenger!

Shankland prediction

- off course he will sign. He has no other credible options.
- Hearts will pee themselves with the announcement
- Budge will come out of hiding
- BBC Sportsound will have an emergency podcast on it
- BBC Sportsound at the weekend will then install Hearts as certs for 3rd and even a wee challenge to 2nd
- Kenny McIntyre (host) will talk about it being signing of the close season, doesnt McInnes “talk so well” and say Hearts are back
- Hearts fans will Lap it up in close season and replace “analytics” with “disrupt” as new favourite word in every sentence.

Then a few months later…
- the fans will realise McInnes football is dog****
- the recruitment approach they have taken is a disaster and they are languishing mid table
- Meanwhile Shankland will still be at least a stone over weight, even slower and scored less than one of our centre halfs.

Sane nonsense every window. Not learned anything from the last couple of windows in particular?

[JohnM1875]

Really thought we’d have a striker in by now. We’ve known Gayle was retiring for ages and the chat was we weren't interested in bringing Myko back for a third spell.

[DickieDastardly]

I'd rather we took our time to do the right deals for the right players, just look at some of the dreadful signings we've been lumbered with over the last few years.

Quality over quantity takes time...

Correct! He was starting to score again at end of last season and have no doubt that McInnes will get him going. Transfer please!

They both look about 12 and both midfielders. Probably nonsense.

I get what you're saying and given the current make-up of our squad compared to previous seasons I'm much more chilled than I have been.

But if the quality has been identified in advance there isn't really a reason why it should take longer.

Don't doubt Aberdeen winning the Cup will have changed things though.

Ahem, see Swiss Tony is this season's Dhanda. He's got them disrupting the current domination in Scottish football this time around. Being lapped up as one would expect.

Maybe they are signing last season's bottom 6 captain after all.
