Rotten these last 6months given but what a talent he is Transfer fees this summer are going to be significantly less than before, as a lot of clubs are going to reign in spending. Unless we’re getting £15-20million plus for him, there’s no point selling. Being brutally honest, there’s a very very slim chance we’ll get that kind of money for him in the current economic climate. If he’s staying, we need a decent striker as backup for when he inevitably chucks in/gets suspended for a significant part of the season Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacBoyd 5,438 Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 When he's on it physically and mentally he's a terrific player and must be a nightmare to defend against. He will always make chances for himself, not many strikers can do that like him. I'm not convinced we will win the championship with a striker who misses so many guilt edge chances though. His old firm goalscoring and general disciplinary records are indefensible. Wish him well and hope we get a good fee. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He scores goals for fun against teams in the SPFL while playing for the champions of said league. Shite in Europe where it counts. From what I've seen of him he'd definitely flop down south. I know a few on here will be raging with me saying that but oh well. Tims are always raging anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I mean, he's a good striker with a good mentality at SPL level but struggles when the quality of the competition increases beyond that. Morelos is an enigma, I think he's his own worst enemy. For someone who talks about his upbringing and how it turned him into such an ambitious, driven person, his mentality is really suspect. His talent is way beyond that of Edouarde, but it's only seen when his head is in the right place. What goes on in his head which stunts him? I can guess but , really it's just an idea. Personally I don't think he's interested in Rangers or the fans, I think he saw us as a stepping stone and nothing more. He shone in the SPL when it suited him because he was hoping to get into the Columbia squad and get noticed by an EPL side. He then did the business in Europe and probably thought he'd done enough and it was just a waiting game. When he saw nothing much happen in January it probably knackered his motivation. I've never known someone to miss as many chances against celtic, I'd expect that can only be down to the pressure he's putting himself under. In my opinion it's not simply a pressure to do well for us, it's a pressure to do well, get noticed and get a move away from us. It's weird. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In all fairness none of the players we had from 2012 until 2017 were going to be sold for big money simply down to the standard of player. I've no idea what Morelos will be worth when Covid-19 passes and football returns, however pre- christmas him, Tav, Aribo and Kamara looked to be valuable assets. Pre-christmas I'd have certainly asked for £20 million plus for Morelos, now we'll have to wait and see I guess. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He got 2, 1 in each game, in the last round of the Europa when he should had about ten over the 2 games. Overhyped to fuck. I did say he was a good player, dunno why his RM fanclub are getting so worked up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, there may a drop in fees given the current situation, but we really should be aiming to get in that range if possible. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
