Iv heard that two concrete offers one already knocked back for shankland are going in for shankland from Rogers,
There was a player plus money knocked back,
But true or not Roger's really likes him and thinks he would do a job so wants to put a concrete offer in,
Now this is from somdy I know at celtic, who could be at the total wind up as he knows I want shankland at us
So could be baw.

Would be gutted if he ended up with them. Still hoping we somehow nab him.

I honestly think my opinion
If celtic sign shankland we will be behind them for a few seasons to come if we are wanting a striker, why look at guys from afar?
Bring in the guy we know will do it.

I won’t lose any sleep over Shankland.

We have to be realistic, if Hearts put a ridiculous value on Shankland, they can afford to pay it where we can`t. They may well buy him not just because he is scoring at the moment but it takes away a dangerous rival and they know it will upset our support ( Jock Stein used to do that all the time) . The question for Shankland is, how much game time will he get behind Kyogo? We should be telling his agent that we will be in for him in the summer if we are interested but can`t afford the current fee. If he wants to play for us all he has to do is sit tight for 6 months.
5.) 04 Jan 2024
04 Jan 2024 13:46:17
I can't see Shankland moving to them, regardless of pay on offer. He is absolutely one of us and I feel would reject any offer from them.

Bluedreamer81, i've heard the exact same mate from a jambo who has been following hearts everywhere for 40 years now and also is a shareholder ?He told me almost 2 weeks ago now that celtic were talking to hearts and had made a verbal offer of £3.5million plus mikey johnston ? Hearts allegedly wanted a cash deal only and were waiting to hear what celtic's next offer was going to be for shankland ? He could well end up at celtic because being honest here he'll not be coming to us imo ?.
7.) 04 Jan 2024
04 Jan 2024 14:05:53
If Shankland does goes there or comes to us, either way that boy will score a ton of goals.
Fingers crossed we can get him.
8.) 04 Jan 2024
04 Jan 2024 14:10:27
People forget shankland is 29 he’s not got much left he’s slow carry’s a bit of weight. Yes a good finisher but to say we will be behind them for years if they sign him his daft he doesn’t even fit into their style of play.
9.) 04 Jan 2024
04 Jan 2024 14:12:45
I really like shankland as a player. But to say if celtic sign him we'll be behind them for few seasons ?? come on its no messi and Ronaldo they signing upfront. Much better strikers out there just hope we can get one.
10.) 04 Jan 2024
04 Jan 2024 14:14:20
Had we not spent a lot of cash on Lammers and Dessers I feel we would be offering 4m. can't see it after the cash spent in the summer. Not to mention the cash spent on Yilmaz, Davies and Matondo. Let's hope we have some players lined for the off to balance the wages and free up some cash potentially? Otherwise feel we are looking at free transfers and loans!
11.) 04 Jan 2024
04 Jan 2024 14:29:06
Dont know about you but i wouldn't play for them for any money. There is no scenario where i'd lower my morals enough.
12.) 04 Jan 2024
04 Jan 2024 14:30:28
That's what I was roughly told as well sir Walter, depends on how much they offer next and if accepted
Also if the player wants too go
I know it's all down too money
But this is a guy who's proved season after season he's a goals scorer
He's worth the money
Not a guy from Belgium with a 5 mill price tag
With no goals in 8
We need to stop wasting cash on these foreign imports who come here n do nothing ie lammers
That other big guy who scored one screamer then nothing.
13.) 04 Jan 2024
04 Jan 2024 14:38:39
My worry here is that we will end up spending money on a player from abroad for a similar value that would get us Shankland and that players will end up like Lammers/ Dessers.
Goals win games and Shankland can score them so we should try and push the boat out to get him.
14.) 04 Jan 2024
04 Jan 2024 14:43:00
Shankland will be 1st choice at celtic for 1 month until kyogo comes back who is in every single way a better player than shankland. So both would not play together. And i know who i would rather be facing that's for sure.
15.) 04 Jan 2024
04 Jan 2024 14:58:28
Does anyone really think Celtic will pay 3.5 million for Shankland when they wouldn't pay 3 million for John Mcginn?
16.) 04 Jan 2024
04 Jan 2024 15:00:04
Many other big slow lumps available, some that have ability to be seriously considered for international caps .
Former Cosgrove groupies, now Shankland fans it would appear, he's at the Gorgie torn faces for a reason .
He makes McBurnie look like Ronaldo.
17.) 04 Jan 2024
04 Jan 2024 15:01:03
My mate is a celtic shareholder who gives me info about them which is 100% on the button. He has heard nothing about bids for Shankland (That don't mean there isn't) but he thinks Shankland will go south.
18.) 04 Jan 2024
04 Jan 2024 15:05:43
Good goal scorer as he is not doubting that, but he is slow and ball control at times is poor I think we can do better. I trust Clements do find a real gem!
19.) 04 Jan 2024
04 Jan 2024 15:22:10
If he goes to them and we don’t sign a striker who can hit 15 goals in the second half of the season to win us the league, it’s a dereliction of duty and I’ll be raging. That said, I trust PC to make the right signings. I still think Shankland will come to us.
20.) 04 Jan 2024
04 jan 2024 15:30:55
said for weeks i have absolutely no doubt celtic want shankland, so do many of they're fans, the ones i know have been telling me this for months, and i will be bitterly dissapointed if they get him, the boys a rangers fan ti his ties but, at his age money is a big deal, security means more than being a fan, i believe it will hurt him but he will have a massive decision to make, i would rather hearts refused the offers, but they might not be able too.
21.) 04 Jan 2024
04 Jan 2024 15:50:39
BanXger, with kyogo and shankland they would be unstoppable up top in Scotland, at least
They would have bags off pace n an out n out goal getter
And opinion on paper that would make it really difficult to catch them as they would have best strikers in our
Leauge.
22.) 04 Jan 2024
04 Jan 2024 15:55:19
If hearts keep shankland they will finish 3rd imo that is worth £6million this year due to European football so I think they will want £5million.
23.) 04 Jan 2024
04 Jan 2024 16:37:15
Can't wait for a Championship club to bid for shankland and he goes there so I don't need to read his name anymore.
24.) 04 Jan 2024
04 Jan 2024 16:51:31
Bluedreamer what you r saying you know better than pc
Anyone find it strange gerrard Gio Beale clement not interested
Paul kyogo going nowhere.

Who's your suggestion for a striker then Harthillroyal?
26.) 04 Jan 2024
04 Jan 2024 17:33:56
Shankland doesn't 'carry weight', he's strong with a good build and while he's not the fastest, to say he's slow is BS. He'd give us at least 3 years of regular goals, he can score all sorts of goals and also his all round game has improved.
27.) 04 Jan 2024
04 Jan 2024 17:45:42
Shankland will only sign for Celtic if Rangers make it clear he isn’t wanted. I don’t think we want him. I’ve also been told that Shankland could very well insist on helping Hearts get 3rd and knock them back!
Hearts can accept all they want he doesn’t need to agree.
28.) 04 Jan 2024
04 Jan 2024 16:07:20
We are definitely not signing shankland.
29.) 04 Jan 2024
04 Jan 2024 16:19:32
Paul86, where's kyogo coming back from mate ?.
30.) 04 Jan 2024
04 Jan 2024 16:26:49
Paul, Kyogo never got picked for Japan. He is not going away for a month so he won’t start majority of games with them.
Anyone that thinks shanks will turn them down is delusional. Doesn’t matter who he supported as a kid.
Shankland will not be at rangers. I said I would take him but wouldn’t pay over 2mil for him just my opinion.
Signing any player for us doesn’t guarantee anything.
31.) 04 Jan 2024
04 Jan 2024 16:32:26
I'm just really worried we go out n get somdy who needs to settle in. just might not find his feet or become accustomed too our game. We have risked n wasted too much if we want to make a statement of intent. And score goals the guys been in front of us for seasons is a bluenose n said he would jump at us.
32.) 04 Jan 2024
04 Jan 2024 16:36:22
If shankland goes to them he’s not rangers through and through as people claim.
And glad we didn’t sign wait a year and you will play for rangers it’s not difficult for him to stay out for a year keep playing and scoring before euros, why would he risk his place moving to any other team and maybe not start.
Stay put and rangers will come back when you have 6 months left.
33.) 04 Jan 2024
04 Jan 2024 16:45:55
The folk greeting for Shankland will probably be the first to boo when he's lumbering about the pitch like a cart horse against a low block every single week. No doubt he's a good goal scorer but he's not good enough to be first choice at our club his all round game is lacking.
34.) 04 Jan 2024
04 Jan 2024 18:05:32
Yes John too an extent iv heard this with all managers n still waiting on this amazing striker
I get you are in with the know
But I really have to disagree so many managers have brought in dross
You stood with beale at first
Gio at first
And I love reading your knowledge and opinion
But yeah there is no doubt in Goo and beale not signing shankland is a mistake
We still have too see what PC can do.
35.) 04 Jan 2024
04 jan 2024 18:06:44
you do talk some pxsh gofor, never dissappoint,
to be fair john, none of those managers you mentioned ever signed a prolific striker either, maybe, just maybe if they had they wouldn't have lost title after title.
36.) 04 Jan 2024
04 Jan 2024 18:15:22
My point John is previous managers were wrong not signing shankland
So on PC I reserve my judgement
No I don't know better than him john
But I do know shanklands better than what we have
And yes I also believe he would score for fun fo us
And I belive if we want to guretee goals buy. The dude who dose it for fun here in Scotland where we play.
37.) 04 Jan 2024
04 Jan 2024 18:18:57
Storm I agree fee wise for shankland but how is it delusional to think someone could turn down Celtic in the hope of a move to another club or do players not run down their contracts to get move they want?
Here is a question do you think rangers would go in for shankland if he only had 6months on his deal?
38.) 04 Jan 2024
04 Jan 2024 18:19:51
Do you know shankland personally?
Would he be happy to sit on their bench like Scott Allan did.
39.) 04 Jan 2024
04 Jan 2024 18:21:38
Tom my point exactly none of them
We ain't had a prolific striker since morelos
I'm not trying to argue but it's right in our face goals win games
So get the guy who scores them season in season out
Simple.
40.) 04 Jan 2024
04 Jan 2024 18:26:05
Ok cheers guys. can't say i pay much attention to who does or doesn't make japan squad just presumed he would go. Well then shankland would barely be playing at Celtic. Kyogo is head and shoukders above shankland not even up for debate. Would love to see the back of him?.
41.) 04 Jan 2024
04 jan 2024 18:39:09
its sytrange paul because my celtic fan pals have been saying for weeks kyogo has been rotten, and if he doiesnt score he's an empty jersey, so many have said this.
42.) 04 Jan 2024
04 Jan 2024 18:45:33
Shankland could wait till summer and get more money in the championship than going to them, he could dig his heels in in summer if we were interested and said it’s only place he is going leaving Hearts with big decision on a year left, a lot could depend in who we can shift this month if some sort of deal can be done in January and Hearts knowing his value could half in 5 months time.
43.) 04 Jan 2024
04 Jan 2024 19:40:08
All I'm meaning bluedreamer is give our new management team a bit of time to get own firepower in . there's far better players in our price range out there.
44.) 04 Jan 2024
04 Jan 2024 20:44:35
Gofor it’s delusional because that’s my opinion. Do I know him personally no but in my opinion he wouldn’t wait if he got an offer from celtic this jan. Do you know him personally to say that he will wait?
I live with 2 celtic supporters they got to every home game the odd away game and they not say Kyogo head and shoulders above shanks.
Also go for no point in answering if it was 6 months to go but thanks for the question.
45.) 04 Jan 2024

Shanklands no better than Colak! Only slower heavier and less mobile. Oh wait he’s worse than Colak.
46.) 05 Jan 2024
05 Jan 2024 02:59:35
The ignorance coming off people about Shankland is unreal - someone comparing him to Sam Cosgrove! Just makes it clear that a lot of our support pay no attention to Scottish football other than Rangers games.
It’s this sort of underrating of Scottish talent and overrating of foreign talent that has seen Ferguson, Hickey, Doig etc leave the country for peanuts while we spend fortunes on clowns like Lammers.
Shankland scores for fun for Hearts. Let that sink in. Then imagine him with the chances we create. He’s miles and miles ahead of Boyd as a player and look how he did.
