(If anyone has any decent videos of him please share with me) I thought his video was alright, nothing spectacular but shows he has that knack of being right place, right time given number of 1, 2 yard tap ins he got. Comfortable with his head given quarter of his goals were with his nut which is a good sign with number of crosses we get into the box and hopefully give us a threat at set pieces. Also gives us another dimension if we need to lump it up front. One or two strikes from outside the box but looks more of a penalty box striker. I can’t remember buffalo scoring too many from distance so not like we’re losing that element. Didn't see much of his hold up play which is a concern, doubt you’d get someone as good as Morelos holding it up anyway he’s one of the best I’ve seen at it. One of the things we will miss massively once he’s gone. Case of wait and see. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's hilarious, they're complaining about how we're able to get transfers in so quickly without the media knowing, and their signing is slow, very public and not showing much progress. They're arguing with each other about how we can afford the players etc It really is a thing of beauty Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watch this one mate, 3 cracking goals in a row: And then watch these highlights from his last match at St Gallen last week where he scored 3 and assisted 1 in the same game: And then this one is good up until about 2:17 where it appears to be totally random videos after that for some reason: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broxi 11,478 Posted August 5, 2020 Author Share Posted August 5, 2020 Seems like he can strike the ball with both feet as well which is good. Also watching a few random game highlights it seems like he wasn't always played as a striker and sometimes in an attacking midfield role which makes his goalscoring stats look better again too Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also watching a few random game highlights it seems like he wasn't always played as a striker and sometimes in an attacking midfield role which makes his goalscoring stats look better again too Same with Roofe. Goals with each foot and interestingly not a single arsehole winder from either of them. All placed and slotted shots, with variety too (poaching inside the 6 yard box, long range efforts outside the 18 yard box etc).... or scored with the head. One of my criticisms of Morelos was that he almost always went with an almighty skelp. Bar the goal v Aberdeen, which sticks in my mind for that very reason. Also lost count the number of headers that went a begging. Ittens and Roofe might not replace the volume of goals but hopefully they are better at keeping a cool head when faced with a critical opportunity, and when facing an opposition intent on the wind up. We don’t need to replace the volume of goals per se, we need goals scored when it matters: game changers. Time will tell. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shuggy 1,308 Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 I think Itten may do better than Roofe. But will Gerrard play both? Are either of them penalty takers? I like to see a striker record with as many open play goals as possible. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely mate, Morelos is not a composed or clean striker of the ball at all. In fairness to him he did have that spell where he was nestling balls in the bottom left corner across the keeper for fun but other than that he scores mainly close range goals or relies on power. Itten and Roofe both look like good strikers of the ball and capable of a variety of goals as you say. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And when I was watching a bunch of St Gallen match highlights he wasn't taking the penalties in those games. Think I saw 3 penalties being taken by one of their midfielders. Pretty excited, a young striker with a good goal record in a comparable league despite not taking (most) penalties and being played in midfield semi-often.
