He’s just bit back at me because I said my best mate says he’s no where near as good as he used to be

Club offered him a new deal not your mate that clearly hasn't a clue about football if that is his opinion about Lawrence Shankland just saying who knows more your nate or the club?
I'll go with the people at the club that are there seeing him train everyday

He must have some kind of connection to Shankland is my guess mate. He def has lost half a yard, put some clem on aswel. Looks half the player this season.

I have watched him this season. Very close friend of mine is a Hearts fan, he's been very poor most of the time

Don't have any connection too him at all other than he grew up beside my sister lost galf a yard?Oh your under the impression pace was his game right?Or even understand that players change there game up as they get older,but no dont see any lost pace just a guy playing a new position he hasn't played in before
Shankland games grown and evolved too the point he was good enough to be in the Scotland squad
Why?
Cos he developed his hold up and link up game and isn't just reliant on his predatory abilities he has a over all more rounded game now thar is why he is good enough for Sunderland and the championship
Clubs offer contracts on more than just ability sometimes you know mate

It's offered on ability it's Hearts they haven't a world wide fan vase to sell his shirt but I'm guessing that it's his shirt that gets sold the most but your mate will know more

So Lennon Miller isn't the 6th best 18 year old statistically in the world then who has come through at Motherwell?Seriously man some off the comments in here about Scottish football are away off when teams are producing generational talents teams that aren't even Rangers and Celtic
Lennon Miller will end up at Liverpool wait and see and he will make it with them too the boys got everything already to his game at 18

So you agree with me, anyone any good does not play in a Scottish team outside of Celtic or Rangers. I'm not slagging off all Scottish football mate, it's a sad reality. Too many glory supporters and not enough money outside of the Old Firm.
Jake Vokins started in the SPL after playing for us, made 20 league appearances. The Vokins that then went on to Eastleigh and Woking. The standard is very poor.
I've never heard of Lennon Miller. Hope this helps.

Please understand sarcasm Lennon Miller is a Motherwell player and actually is the 6th best player in his position in the world for his age statistically he won't join Sunderland he will join Liverpool FACT

No idea how this relates to anything I said but thanks.
You had already told me Lennon Miller is a Motherwell player and statistically amazing (with no source though, and not clear if takes in to account who he is playing against). And I also never suggested in any form he will sign for Sunderland. Or not sign for Liverpool.
Can you let me know how you know this and I'll put a massive bet on him signing for Liverpool.

Cos Liverpool sign the best players and he is probably the best player in the UK for his age by a mile and it's not over hype at all cos he is Scottish he is a generational talent someone that will go all the way barring injury

Hahah. So you have no idea at all, you just like Liverpool (or at least their transfer policy) so think they will sign this kid. But say "FACT". When you should type "OPINION".
He might be amazing, and has made a decent number of appearances for his age but the stats I see aren't that good and the standard is poor. Good luck to him, hope he has a great career

I don't like Liverpool at all but there the best team in country and the benchmark it's my opinion he will go there like Ramsay and Doak have young Scottish players

...knew you had some kind of connection to him the way you are fawning over him. Where did i say pace was his game?? It never has been.. in fact, he is even slower now than he ever was. Funnily enough, I posted on here about beginning last season I think it was, that we should be in for him...not now. So, no agenda here. He can hardly get a place ahead of Lynden Dykes for Scotland now......

Shankland has been in all the squads when he was fit for the last few years he was injured against Hibs that is why he isn't in the squad
I must have connections to about half a dozen other national or ex national players too then in that case then if being someone's neighbour and being from same scheme is a valid connection
Aren't fawning over anybody just don't agree he is fat watched the Dundee game he was bang in shape and looking back to his best
Nice try though mate nice try

Well that shows that you haven't watched him for a long time then doesn't it?Also I'm sure if he does move leagues he will try and get himself that wee bit extra fit he has hus on personal training company maybe he will do bit off boxing exercise it worked for Charlie Adam and John Fleck when they moved south anyway there isn't any issues he is a leader and a good professional..what a strange response. I think he's a fatty now...you disagree. We move on.
You know what I respect how much this bloke pops up and defends the Scottish lads to the end
