British_Empire 9,648 Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 I think he'll stay too and I don't mind - provided his heads in the right place. However, we stil need a top drawer commanding midfielder in there behind them Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camshy 812 Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 I'd love to see Hagi in the attacking midfield role as its clear to me thats his most natural position......can also see hes not comfortable playing opposite side from Kent. Kents a winger and has the pace to do that job well, Hagi falls a little short imo. Another Kent type of player is what we need, a player like him who can run with the ball and commit players with that bit of quality and pace.

gogzy 31,195 Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 I'd love to see him stay, but I think he is off by the end of the window ( is there a window this season?) We need a guy to control the midfield. I'm not sure if we would have enough in midfield over the season if we don't bring another quality player in. I'm also not sure if we will win the league if we sell Morelos. I hope these new guys are enough to replace his goals. Either way, we need a midfielder in to complete the team, All that being said, I don't think we would be favourites tbh. They have a title winning team, who have, for the most part, been there and done it before. They have a higher wage bill. I think they will be the bookies favourites even if we kept Morelos, and brought in a new midfielder. We would be in the best position in a decade to actually win it though. If we can stop the silly dropped points like last season, I think we can, and will win it. We lost it last season because of dropped points that we shouldn't have dropped, We've been getting better season on season. This season is massive, the board have backed Gerrard and he has to deliver it this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gogzy 31,195 Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 Is Hagi good enough to just give him a free role in midfield, and give him a crack at being the box to box midfielder we are looking for? Maybe worthwhile trying it for a few games and see how it goes. If he turns out to thrive in that role, then we have saved a bundle Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he turns out to thrive in that role, then we have saved a bundle For me Hagi needs a bit more experience for that free role in midfield, he has some sublime moments, that shows he has the ability. But he still makes some poor choices at times. Even though he's 21 he is still a wee bit behind in his development due to his previous transfers not working out as well they could have. A full season playing for us could easily sort that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teddybear123 215 Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 If we can bring in a midfielder and a winger to come in and challenge for a place in the starting 11 we’ll have a very strong squad imo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GA1972 9,555 Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 I think the only way we’ll be getting a midfielder is if he’s sold given the money we’ve already spent Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZZed 4,510 Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 I want a nasty bit of work in midfield, someone who eat raw meat, will punch any Rangers player that is not giving enough and crunch the opposition. I want Terry Hurlock. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueKnight87 17,285 Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 We still need another top level CM and another player that can step in for either kent or hagi. If Morelos stays and we add these. We've got our strongest line up in years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

eskbankloyal 19,446 Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 I don’t think Morelos will be here for much longer, just a matter of when rather than if. 2 goals & 2 assists - 100% involvement in our 4 goals this season despite being a little of the pace. Big shoes to be filled, particularly by 2 new signings without a pre season with us Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
