If there's any chance at all of Alfredo going to the world cup it would be worth the gamble and resist any temptation to cash in now. Of course it's if's and maybe's but let's suppose he went there as our player and managed even one goal coming off the bench in that tournament. The sell on value would rocket which would put this club in a position of financial stability we could only dream of a year ago. Flip side he doesn't go but continues to contribute here on an increased wage while building his reputation and the chance to shine in Europe next season? I'm not seeing the downside here. I'm assuming you mean Patrick Roberts? He had performed in the English Championship which is a better standard of league than the SPFL. The English consider our football to be an absolute joke they call it 'the Scottish pub league'.  Also, don't Columbia have strikers like Falco and Bacca playing for them? I don't know much about their national team but how realistic is it that Morelos would actually be called up and go to the World Cup? Lastly, why is this still being discussed? I thought the bid had been rejected or are the Chinese club coming back in with a new offer? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vanoli 4,625 Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Sunday showed (again) that absolutely everything goes through him. Seasons gone if the wee man leaves. We should be looking night and day for a replacement in the summer, because we could very easily spend double or three times the money we paid for him and not get half the player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firstly who says we should be concentrating solely on the English market? There are clubs all over Europe and beyond constantly on the lookout for strikers. Also although they might not rate our league, that doesn't prevent the English from monitoring it for talent. At the risk of turning this thread into a taig appreciation love in you do know Southampton came shopping up here for a player who's been sold on for the biggest fee in British football this season?  Lastly, I personally can't substantiate the claims but it's being suggested on here that Morelos is being considered for world cup selection in his own country. Granted its a big if but as I say if that came to pass Rangers could be in line for a very very substantial profit on the wee guy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granted its a big if but as I say if that came to pass Rangers could be in line for a very very substantial profit on the wee guy. No one from the Scottish leagues has ever gone for over £11m to any country other than England. Historically, teams from Germany, Spain, Italy, and other big money leagues don't shop here. Wanyama had Champions League exposure which brought in a lot of interest. Van Dijk also had Champions League exposure and was a Dutch international. Those are the only two players in the history of Scottish football to move for more than the reported £11m we were offered for Morelos. Substantial offers like that don't come often. He might not go to the World Cup. We might not win the league and get him Champions League exposure. Maybe he'll do an Izaguirre and after a tremendous first season totally underwhelm every year after that. We might look back at that £11m bid and think we were fucking mugs for not taking it. Time will tell.

For what it’s worth I don’t think there any chance he gets to the WC, unless he scores a silly amount of goals between now and then, would need a couple of goal against the paedos and SC Final goal too. Evenat that it’d be a stretch. I think it’s likely they’re watching him though, and I could see him getting a cap in the friendlies. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
port_bear 86 Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 The board are taking a massive gamble here. A player regardless of form, international status, age, whatever is only worth what another club is willing to pay for them. At this moment that figure stands at £11m and for a player who hasn't proven anything at a higher level, that amount is massive. The world cup probably won't happen for him this year and even if it did I doubt he would get any serious playing time if any. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
