Dissapointed it hasn't started too well for him. Didn't exactly start great for Shanks in Belgium. These things happen in football i guess.
I see him as a short-term backup signing.

From the clips I've seen of him, he looks like the type of player that needs time and space. He'll just not get that in this league. Besides, he's never been a prolific goalscorer.

He's not what we need IMO. We need a proper striker/goal thief that will find the space and a clinical touch in front of goal.

We can't afford a 'known' quantity in terms of the required criteria. So I hope we can use our excellent targeting recruitment strategy to get someone from 'left-field' who turns our to be a star.

Can't help but speculate how Shanks would have fared under TC's new style. I reckon he would have loved it and be hitting the back of the net regularly.
