Hi Folks, I'm a dandy coming in peace since you're linked with two of our players..
You are correct in saying that Langfield, or "Clangers" as we call him, is not popular with the vast majority of fans. On top of him trying to engineer a move to the old ****, he's frustrated people with his inability to kick a ball, deal with pass backs, come for crosses or save a ball at his near post. He requested his own testimonial and the low turnout is definitely representative of how Aberdeen supporters feel about him. Is he good enough for the Championship? Yes - I'd give him a 1 yr deal and source someone better once you come back up.
As for Shankland, we're praying that it's a loan and not a permanent move. Shankland is highly rated by the fans here and has shown great promise as a striker. He's kept out of the team by Rooney and a currently on form Goodwillie, but there's definitely a quality player there. Unfortunately for him he just hasn't quite taken the chances he's been given with the first team here but the general feeling is he just needs game time and first team experience.
Good luck in your campaign this year, I'd like to see you and hibs come back up. All the best!
