Absolutely baffling no SPL team took a punt on Shankland tbh. Hearts etc.
Shankland had an offer from Swansea last January, there's something seriously not right with him signing for United honestly
He's going to win United the title single-handedly so i'm not complaining. Be good to get them back up so we can meet up with Ivan and drop kick him.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Leaving aside the fact that the SPL doesn't exist I agree. Incredible that we were able to sign him and a massive relief to us!
He lacks pace and his link up play is good but not always great. But feck me the boy can score. I've rarely seen a player consistently get in the right place at the right time, while his ball striking is fantastic and as good as I've seen. And he's good in the air.
I think his experience at Aberdeen earlier in his career has hampered him. Hopefully he'll be playing the Premiership with us next season.
I'd take him when Defoe leaves
Shankland is also a massive Rangers fan so if he goes anywhere it'll be Ibrox.
He's a poacher but i'm not sure he's anywhere near good enough for either OF clubs or Scotland yet.
Haha it will always be the SPL to me. He's scored a fair few cracking headers from what I've seen. Surely it's Utd's year this year.....not other standout team I don't think in that league to compete with.
Watched the Dundee game on Friday night(don't ask me why) they were turgid
Dundee remind me of us when we first came down. Totally hopeless and no idea as to how to approach this league.
It's hard when you come down because you're so used to playing against teams who have more of the ball than you do, then all of a sudden you're playing against two banks of four and having to break it down.
They've got good forwards but nobody to provide the bullets.

Can't see him going to be third choice striker and only getting a handful of minutes across the season, but you never know.

Defoe will leave Rangers at the end of the season in fairness and Morelos might be off by then too so it could be ideal for him.
I'm optimistic that Rangers (or Celtic) will want to see how he does in the top flight before making a move. Ideally he'll be in our team in the Premiership come September next year and then hopefully after scoring 30 goals by January we'll be fighting off the bids
And to take Dundee United's crown jewel upon promotion would be nice

Obviously we'll double the price for Rangers. We know you're loaded these days after all.
At least we don't have to play you in the play offs. So from now on we are no longer rivals this season.

How long do you think they'll persevere with the current management team if you don't start getting wins?

A lot of boys on this thread are wallopers. You'll have to narrow it down.

Just depends on when a former player with next to no managerial experience becomes available to replace McPake. We have the players at least. Dorrans was playing close to centre back on Friday just to get the ball.
I've rarely seen a player consistently get in the right place at the right time

Footballers are not known for being intelligent.
The ultimate talent imho is knowing where to be at the right time, I think you're just born with it.

I was born in a hospital. So I guess you are right cos that was definitely the right place to be at that time.
