Transfer rumour thread 19/20

[TerryTheTerror]

I think this debate about Clark is interesting. The way I look at it, we have an infinitely better player playing his favoured position so, if he can contribute in another position or from the bench them great.

[Arabknight]

Can't agree with that, he hasn't shown anything to suggest he should be regular starter up front for a team with ambitions of winning this league

Can’t agree with this either. Clark scored something like 10 goals despite mostly playing in numb 10 role and missing part of season due to injury. Nt saying he shld replace shanks anytime soon bt in my opinion given a chance along side him he wld score a number of goals.

[TerryTheTerror]

It's hardly been any time but, so far, Appere seems better foil for Shankland, as demonstrated by his two assists at the weekend.

[Arabknight]

I agree appere does look a great fit, and I know it won’t happen due to team formation etc bt if both Clark and Shanks got the same amount of service up top as per the Inverness game I think the goals wld continue to flow.

Air of caution here. Appere is a very good prospect, but he's a young laddie. He will inevitably have good days and bad days. Probably very bad days. We haven't been the most patient set of fans the past few seasons That probably needs to change of we're to see the best of the likes of him, Banks, Mochrie, Glass (when he comes back) and Chalmers. There is talent there but we need to be careful, and patient, with them.

I'd say our fan base is very patient when it comes to young players, especially ones that have hardly played any first team matches.

Yeah, I'm sure Scotty Fraser, John Souttar, Col Donaldson and Jamie Robson will agree with you on that.

[TerryTheTerror]

I think you are reading to much into what pish gets posted on social media and the likes of here. My experience of being at matches doesn't align with that. *

Seen/heard every one of them take dog's abuse at games. Not always but still too often. It doesn't help.

Scott Fraser arguing with Utd fans at Tannadice because he was sick of the constant abuse, is a prime example of what some of our fans are like. It's definitely NOT just a social media thing.
