They've both had their stint here so both will want to move on and good luck to to them. Benji has developed unbelievably well and Shanks has been a very good acquisition too but I don't know if he has improved as a player (because he was very good at Ayr) but he definitely improved us.

At the end of the the day you either move up a level or become a Scott Broon and never test yourself. Would love both of them to stay but I really can't see it.

My point was that I hope TC doesn't feel he's ready NOW to play against the best the Premiership has to offer, that was all.

He's not but phuckme he's a big laddie for his age and what a first touch he has. Potential there is huge, no doubt.

Yeah, can't see it either. To be honest it'd be great to get another season it of them.

I don't see why not. He would benefit from another good year playing top league football in Scotland. And United would get a fee in a year as payback for setting him up on his career. I reckon we will get more £ for him in a year's time than we'd get for him ATM (providing he signs an extension). And remember he is still under contract ATM so if we want him for another year on his current deal we have him.

He'll get another 'good year' without signing a new contract though. The boy clearly wants to move onto bigger and better things and the easiest way for him to do this is to be out of contract, so it's very unlikely he'll sign an extension.

Yep he’s definitely for the off but in all honesty that’s not just good for Siegrist, it’s also good for the Club - we need the dosh. It’s as simple as that and out of the two I’d far rather Shankland stayed. Keepers are always more easily replaced over other positions on the park and to me it’s pretty obvious that Carson has been brought in as the replacement in anticipation of Benji’s departure. We’ll see how it pans out.

Edwards definitely not homesick going by his comments in the paper.

Can someone start some wild transfer rumours please I cant take the silence and Ive run out of things to make up :)
