Interesting one, not sure where he fits in now we signed Campbell up to a longer deal... Vokes, Gregory, Campbell, Hogan AND Cosgrove for a one striker formation seems a wee bit excessive!

know nothing about Shankland but to say he is prolific in the second tier of Scottish Football is a bit of an understatement... 50 in 61 for Ayer United and he's had 22 in 19 for Dundee!

Hogan is not in the picture,that's been made clear. Gregory can go if someone comes in for him. So that possibly leaves Vokes, Campbell .Cosgrove if we get him and Diouf

We reckoning sub contract Hogan loan to elsewhere
Gregory to Cardiff? Cosgrove or Shankland to Stoke. We’d have too many strikers otherwise.

2M won't get Cosgrove will it? Possibly. I doubt Aberdeen will be able to refuse a couple of million.

It's Dundee United. Seen him a few times, he is the opposite to Gregory, he hit's the net, not the bloke behind the goal Depends whether he can make a step up with bigger and better defenders about him

Shankland sounds like the working title for a film about Lee Gregory.

Depends how long Vokes and Campbell are out short-term I guess. Longer-term Hogan is a goner, Campbell is an option for wide right and Gregory looks a contender to move on.

Looks good at that level, but there would be no use in us signing him unless we sign their winger as well. We haven’t got anyone who can cross the fucking thing consistently.

some decent crosses going into him, and it's only the Scottish championship

We need a partner for Tyrese There’s nobody on the books now who’s good enough Either of these would be a gamble but I’d put money on either scoring more than Gregory or Vokes

STOKE CITY are still hopeful of signing Aberdeen hitman Sam Cosgrove – but could make a move for Lawrence Shankland if they can't get the Dons forward.
We told you back last month that a number of English Championship clubs had Cosgrove on their radar – not just Stoke but Leeds United, Derby and Middlesbrough.
Now SunSports' Alan Nixon reports the Potters could move for the hotly-rated Dundee United striker should a deal for Cosgrove not materialise.
Shankland's also been linked with a number of clubs on either side of the border including Celtic and Queen's Park Rangers.

Maybe Aberdeen will have learned their lesson and realise they can't keep trying to over inflate value, they scared off possible buyers for Mckenna and if anything his value has gone down after some shitey performances for Scotland which show he isn't premier league level.
2 million plus add-ons for Cosgrove would be reasonable, give them a sell on clause.
Shankland, I've seen a fair bit of him and I'm not sure. He's a cracking goalscorer and would be great with pace around him, not sure he could hack it as a lone striker for us. My mate watches a lot more of Dundee United than I do, and despite not being a Stoke fan he's watched a lot of us, and thinks Shankland wouldn't suit us.
At the end of the day, we have a manager now who I think genuinely knows a lot more than us, so if he wants either the board have to back him.

Would think 4 strikers at least is needed for a season in the championship at least. I think so it could be 2 target men in vokes and Cosgrove who need to feed of good crosses. and 2 smaller faster strikers in Campbell and shankland.
Interestingly if you presume celtic and rangers have the best centre half's and keepers in their league, in the 4 games Cosgrove has faced them this season he has scored just the 1 goal and picked up a red card. If that's any sort of yardstick to judge him on.

I guess living in Edinburgh MON has seen plenty of these lads so think he needs to be backed if he wants them?

Lawrence Shankland is a fantastic name. If one of our gifted wordsmiths can’t craft a terrific song for him then it’s time to give up.
