Lawrence Shankland

I'd be happy with him, personally.

Scored some belters.

Always a risk when it comes to the step-up in overall quality compared to the Scottish leagues, but we're not going to be able to afford established proven strikers from better leagues.

He'll cost a pretty penny either way.
 
Wouldn’t be my first choice, far from it.

But, I have seen him score some pearlers for Hearts and he obviously does have something. It’s always a risk bringing in players from Scotland. I think Celtic or Rangers will sign him personally.

Interesting to see how it develops though.
 
I'm a little more confident signing Scottish players from anyone except the Auld Firm: it means they're playing against a decent team twice as often in the league.

Wouldn't dismiss him on the basis of where he's playing now. Good players have come out of the Scottish leagues in past, and will do in the future.
Likewise, some absolute turkeys will come out of Spain, Germany and Brazil.

It’s true. I have seen him play a few times on the tele and he is a decent player. I think he’s definetly championship level it’s just wether he would be a really good striker at this level or just an ok one. Be interesting to see if he does get a move to this league.
