Hi bears.

Don’t post on here much as I see the nightmare folk get for passing on what they hear but as the shankland situation is such a huge talking point I just want to pass on what I’ve heard about it.

I went to school with Steven Naismith's cousin and asked him if he knows anything.

He says that Steven obviously wants him to stay but is on Lawrence’s side if he wants to come to us.

We have made no offer. But Lawrence is desperate for it to come and naisey. As much as he burnt his bridges with us. Is encouraging of the move if the clubs can work it out.

Thoughts are rangers think as the time ticks on hearts will lower their price.

Contract on the table for shankland is around 3.5k a week and an 18months extention.

In all honesty I thought he would be on more than that at hearts just now before an extension
I obviously know nothing of their budgets and how much they pay players
I’d say if he came to us he’s going to be trebling quadruple that pay straight away I would imagine
What a jump it would be I’m actually very surprised by that I know our budgets are way above the rest etc
But that’s some jump I would think on his wage coming To us then if he does well he could renegotiate that wage not bad going if you can get it lol

anyone think that with so much talk and press coverage around shankland now that even if club wasn’t or hasn’t been interested in first place given how much chat it has started especially amongst us Rangers fans and from what I read see and hear across a lot of platforms most of it’s safe to say would give him a chance
Would the club pick up on this and then possibly have a proper discussion about it
Or do they just stick to the targets they prefer whether fans want them or not
I’d like to assume on some level they take on our views at times maybe not all the time. But when a player can cause such a stir and chat surely they must look at it
What’s everyone thoughts?

I'd be absolutely astonished if the captain and top goal scorer at hearts was on £3500 a week, I know absolutely nothing in regards to player wages but what is take from the rumour is he's been offered £3500 more on his wages and the 18 month extension, but i could be completely wrong, i would bet a significant amount of money on it tho that Lawrence shankland is not on £3500 a week.

Pretty sure Shankland will be on around £3k just now so probably looking around 5 or 6 with the new contract offer.

If we go for him I could see us offering him around £12k a week.

To think we gave Roofe 35k a week contract. Absolutely mental what some of our players are on.

As I said before if shankland is smart he will knock back hearts offer and wait for next season when rangers can offer a reduced fee.
