It's obviously hard to tell at the moment because of his lack of game time. The fact that he's been on DM's radar for a while and he came across well in his red tv interview certainly encourages me greatly. I thought he did quite well when he came on against dundee, he looked strong with a decent touch and he showed good awareness to play in Mcginn when you wouldn't have blamed him for trying to go for it himself. My hunch is we will be trying to extend his loan till the end of the season before too long. Lets face it, anyone that's quick and can control a football easily you will likely do well in this league.
Will we be doing any more business with Shankland off to Paisley to earn his hun-hunting badges? Probably not, this loan has been mooted for quite a while now but who knows with McInnes. If we do go for someone else I really hope it's a CM
