Paul Shaw was not an out and out striker. Hanlan is not an out and out striker. There obviously the comparison ends. Could Hanlan play just behind a front 2? I think he could.
I think Hanlan is a big talent that hasn't yet found its place.
Paul Shaw had an excellent touch and and eye for goal and a killer through ball. Hanlan has fantastic energy and enthusiasm but is a poor finisher and couldn't trap a bag of cement.
