I've said before. Fat Shankland = bad, skinny Shankland = good.

I'd have taken him last season. He'll get his step up again.

When he was with Aberdeen a couple of Aberdeen supporters, who really follow the club, said they were convinced he was a good prospect but needed managed.

I think you can apply that to us as well. He was terribly out of shape under Ian Murray and Alex Rae (in one of the few things I'll ever give him credit for) had him work on his fitness and condition and that coincided with 10 goals in the second half of that season.

By time he came back the following season, he'd enjoyed pre-season too much and was out of shape for both us and Morton.

I think the very real threat of being on the scrapheap at 21 has given him the same sort of boost that Dobbie ending up at Dumbarton all those years ago did to him.

I think it would be money well spent for a real goal sniffer.

Definitely. Shankland was one of the biggest disappointments after his return and it was obvious that something wasn't right with him.

34 goals in 34 games for Ayr is a quite ridiculous record.

Hopefully Darren Jackson has a dossier on  the boy.
