According to Lawrence shankland he was at training ground yesterday and hoping to have deal done by sunday. That will put to bed the dykes rumours SGL.

What do you mean according to Lawrence Shankland have you or anyone else spoken to him paul86. Shankland wouldn’t be a bad option to be fair.

I hope you are right Paul I certainly rate HM highly especially as a back up for maric.

Saw it on fb it was supposedly shanklands fb and someone messaged him about joining rangers and he said hopefully by Sunday, probably a fake Facebook account.

Me2 shanklands fb is open. So unless someone has stolen and copied his facebook profile picture then who knows. Some people will go to strange lengths mind you.

Would be great if this was true as I've always thought he could do a job like Kris Boyd in scoring against the teams we were dropping daft points against. Fingers crossed.

Yes, I saw that on fb too. Pretty certain it was totally fake (not least as the person referred to it as Murray Park) .
Shankland is a difficult one to judge.
1) He’s 25 years old (in a week or so) and has never scored even 1 goal in the top division.
2) He does though have a very good scoring record of around a goal every 1.5 games (Or better) over the last few seasons in league 1 and the championship.
Looking at that first stat you wouldn’t touch him with a barge pole. Looking at the second you may think he’s worth a punt.
To me he’s a bit of a Kris Boyd. A good finisher but does very little (nothing) outside of the box and his hold up play and overall game needs a lot of improvement.
I don’t feel if he came to us he’d get enough game time to be able to work on and improve his overall game. Maybe he’d need to prove himself first at SPFL level. Problem is if he were to do that his value would obviously shoot up too.

This may yet be an old message. He has called it murray park could be a giveaway its couple years old did hear he was at training centre the other day.

Gers1978 done not to bad in cups v top flight opposition last season? I do agree tho whoever comes in shankland dykes etc will likely be 3rd choice and game time limited.

Fake nonsense, either photoshop or fake account.

Latest story is windass returning.
Let’s wait till rangers announce signings.

To be honest I would call it Murray park what’s it been Auchenhowie then the Hummel training center then back to Auchenhowie some people will always call it murray park if they renamed Ibrox to the red bull stadium would you say I’m going up to ibrox or the red bull stadium.

Hends definitely not a fake account. But could be old message. Wow windass. Realy really hope not. couldn't even hold down regular spot at wigan.

Id prefer Dykes to shanks.

It will always be called murray park to most same if ibrox changed name

Agree tho just need to wait an see who we sign if any.

Windass definitely is not going to be coming anywhere near us. Gerrard thought he was basically a waste of space 2 years ago and he’s done nothing but prove him right since. Not a chance in hell Gerrard would want him back.

Shanklands goal to game ratio speaks for itself, i know nicky clarks was good too but Shankland has represented Scotland i'd also take Cummings as 3rd choice if he was available.

Shankland would be a good signing as back up to Morelos and Defoe or whoever replaces Morelos if he goes. He could also do a turn in SPL Games but we need a top quality replacement for Europe should Morelos leave.

I think Shankland is too similar (but not as good) as Defoe. Utd wouldn't let him go for under £2m and I’d rather have Dykes who is proven in this league and a different type of striker to Defoe more of a strong Target man.
Need big Croatian boy or Roofe if Alfredo is away and Dykes to compliment Jermaine Defoe.
