I suspect it was plenty of offers from clubs outwith the top division, time will tell with Shankland, if he is still with Dundee United in the premiership next season that's when he will be judged, will he score 20+ goals against better opponents I doubt it.

Yes but Only If we don't

There is a huge step up in ability required from Scoring lots of goals against national league standard defences and repeating it against teams in the Scottish premiership. Bringing in layers like that is a big Gamble, some pay off and they step up and do well, ie Moult, Johnson, and in my opinion Hylton but for every success there are 2 or 3 failures. If we are going to bring someone in this window he needs to hit the ground running and get among the goals as we have given ourselves a great platform so far to kick on and secure a top 4 finish and a return to Europe.

I would rather have a player with a bit less pace and more basic ability, no point in being able to run fast and get past defenders etc and then make a mess of the ball in or telling pass to a team mate. Yes you can coach the other parts of the game but the assumption is you have the skills and talent to coach in the 1st place. Seedorf is still young and probably has a lot to learn but he is nowhere near 1st team standard, and bringing him on in games is like having somebody sent off.

Seedorf is brutal, no positional sense, never tracks back, final ball non existent, runs about like a headless chicken contributing feck all to the game etc etc. He should be nowhere near the 1st team. Sometimes a punt on a player pays off, this one has failed, hopefully Ndjoli will offer a lot more.

I opted for Gallacher he strolled through the game, solid for 90 mins

Job done, result was never in danger, but I have to say what does SR see in Seedorf he was brutal, contributed feck all surely we have better options.

Long and Scott as would a few other players would only benefit playing with Griffiths, an experienced international player and goal scorer to learn from,

I think that would be a great bit of business, he needs games and he wont be starting for Celtic, so why not, would he come to Fir Park though, heard earlier chat of a return to Hibs.

Would be disappointed if that was the case we need an experienced goal scorer up top if we are going to kick on and secure a top 4 finish and a European return.

I see Kyle Lafferty is available, might be worth a punt, big target man, knows where the goals are could be what we are looking for if the money is right.

I hope the said 5 figure fee was upfront, that bunch of tax Dodgers probably still owe us for Hastie

Seems like Oxford want to , according to the BBC https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/51004914

Don t think it's as clear cut as that sometimes a move to a bigger club , better players around him etc is just what a player needs, not to mention the financial benefits, so as always it will be down to the player if he wants to go if the offer is there.

John Ruddy in goals for Wolves yesterday v Man United, did not have a lot to do but still looks a class act.

All I can say is for 15 mins we were brilliant, then utter garbage for the next 75, but 37 points and 3rd in the league at new year is a great result, target is Europe now.

They seem to play a lot better at home, but that said they are on a poor run just now so if we continue our good recent form we should win by a couple of goals, 40 points and the threat of relegation removed before the winter break is the target.

It's just taken the Killie board 22 games to realise Alessio was a mistake, a punt that backfired on them. There have been rumours from the start that the players and board were unhappy at his methods etc so this is no surprise . That said an unpopular manager gone, caretaker in charge, got to be a home win then on Saturday, I hope not.

It was probably Stendel in his face for not taking the Hearts job and landing him with it.

I have always taken the view that if you are not fit to play a full 90 mins you should not be listed a a substitute.

Do you know it was a fight SR was involved in or is it just your usual speculative trolling?

So on the back of 3 consecutive clean sheets and numerous others all season so far, suddenly Gillespie needs dropped....aye ok, leave the team selection to those best qualified, I am sure if SR and Lasley thought Carson could do a better job he would be playing.
