The difference is, Cummings isn't an unprofessional petulant idiot.

Not far off it.

He could definitely lead the line in a better Rangers side than this one. 

Not to mention that he’s never, never, never a #10.

I don’t think he has the strength, stature or ability to lead the line. Can’t hold a ball up to save his life. 

He’s not a ‘10’ either. Not really sure where he fits, maybe that’s part of his / our problem.

Didn’t see the game yesterday but needs to be playing regular to judge properly. I see enough in him to take a punt even if some daggers are out for him.

Morelos has been murder since he came back from Florida and little gets said about him.

Morelos has had the hardest time of any of our players IMO. Was called ‘scum’ and a ‘cancer in the club’ in the Morelos thread. 

Not that it’s a competition, but Cummings gets much more of a free pass than he does.

What level do you think the SPL is then?

 

Scottish Championship. Only time he’s looked good has been against lower level opposition. 

Been totally ineffective in the SPL, aside from a few moments here and there.

We need to bring in better than the scum to take the title.

I think Moult would be a great addition. Not saying as a starter but he would be a great option.

[OhW 4,669]

I don't know why he gets played in that role behind the striker. He's a poacher.

Not sure anybody seems able to bring him into the game.

Tav & Candeias would rather play their own wee games before putting another aimless ball across.

Murphy has an inability to look up.

Added to sparse game time, dorsn’t help his case.

As I said in another thread, though - would the crosses be better if we had a different front man or would the existing front men be better with different people supplying them?

I now think we need a total clean slate for next season.

Re Morelos - that early miss from 6 yards summed up the fact he’s not a natural striker.

A Boyd or McCoist would have buried that - instead, AM just seemed surpised that it hit his foot!

[Mor3los_1 3,672]

Hasn't done enough for me. People saying he hasn't had a chance starting, neither has Herrara but people aren't clamouring for him to stay

[gj923 1,457]

No way and not even he can be good coming off the bench. Can we not set our sights higher even if it’s only a loan. That guy Eduord scored 3 goals against us why can we not aim for that kind of pedigree rather than have the conversation about signing an ex Scottish championship player who failed to make the grade in the English championship. We need to stop filling the squad with “ he might come good if given the chance “ players.

[DrLaudrup 4,599]

He is a good finisher and 600k is not much for that. I’d agree he’s not set the heather on fire but he can’t play as a lone forward and is not a 10 so I don’t think we’ve set up to play to his strengths. We need a better squad and will need at least 2 ‘number 9s’ next season and I’m not sure we’d get better for similar money. 

Miller will go. Hardie hasn’t shown anything in brief appearances or loans to convince me. Dodoo? As I say I’m not suggesting first choice player but he’s someone who I think would react well to Gerrard. He’s a gallus player and knows what side his bread is buttered. He’ll be keen to do well. 

[NOSURRENDERSTEFANKLOS 33]

He not big enough, strong enough or fast enough for a modern striker. Doesn’t cut it. I would love it if he proved me wrong as I think his temperament is good, but I doubt it. 

[gmcf 34,148]

Don't thiñk he's really had a run at it , but with more investment coming in id hope we could attract a higher quality of player . 

[The Specky Forum Organiser 64,524]

Sign him, no doubt about it

Get the impression from him he's trying to hard and not playing his natural game which is to get goals, he's all over the place trying to link things and work hard which is commendable but it's as if someone's said to him scoring goals isn't enough here and he's trying to do everything else to the detriment of him scoring

[sandyinroyalblue 16,478]

Hard to judge him and others with the abysmal management and coaching at Rangers.

He would probably make a decent squad player and at 600K is worth a punt.

[googglebot 4,736]

If SG proves to be a decent manager, knows how to set-up a team and can motivate and develop players, unlike the clowns before him, maybe other players, not just Cummings will surprise us. So I say give him a chance, hes got ability.

Bollocks, Morelos has done basically fuck all since the interest from that Chinese club and fans are still saying that he is a great player and needs to be heading our attack.

Cummings came in out of the blue, scored a hat trick as Morelos continued to miss sitters and Cummings was dropped for the next game.

It’s Morelos that has by far an easy ride, there are a couple of eejits on here, yes, but people are always moaning about Cummings even when he’s played out of position, in the wrong role, or zero support up to him.

If Cummings was our player he’d get a far easier ride. It’s always the same with loan players. 

So I think you’re talking bullshit, sorry.

I’m fucking sick fed up with us taking a “punt” on players. 

We need to put this behind us and bring players to this club that are not a “punt”

So we can start signing players who are guaranteed to be successful? we don't have the finances or scouting system that guarantees what you're looking for.

[NeoGeo7 10,498]

I don't think Gerrard will want him if I'm honest. We signed him because of what he's done up here (against us as well).

Had he been given a proper run in a true front two rather than playing up top alone or in the number 10 position then it might have been a different story but as it is he's not done enough to justify it.

Gerrard won't even get to assess him in person so I think he'll be back to Forest.

[LaudrupsPatrickBoots 13,510]

He's shite. Let him go.

[onefootwillie 1,518]

I just don't think he is strong enough at this level. I would be surprised if we keep him on.

Against a Championship side. We already knew he was prolific against them.

Is he good enough for the top flight? No.

I don't know if he is or not, I'll reserve judgement until I see him under Gerrard.

So far we've watched him under poor management, I'm hoping Gerrard's team will be an upgrade.

I do not agree with the tactics used with Cummings so far, so think it's very unfair to judge him, or a lot of the players under rudderless and tactically inept Murty.

Miller done the same thing tbf so maybe it is someone giving instructions to play like that.

Miller was slated on here for it though.

600k could be used more wisely. Like added to our wages structure for a decent forward
