Boab 73 Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 Maybe Lee McCulloch will be the new striker? I'd like that, always had faith in him as a striker He is fucking awful up front.Lovely finish from him against Hearts at home in a 2-0 victory.

Thommo 708 Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 I wish people would stop going on about players that cut it ion the SPL...we have to look above that.Lafferty,Miller and Fleck will be fine for the SPL so we need strikers who will cause problems in Europe.Probably because they are the most realistic targets out there at the moment for us Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like that, always had faith in him as a striker He is fucking awful up front.Lovely finish from him against Hearts at home in a 2-0 victory.I can also recall a lovely finish from Filip Sebo at home to Aberdeen in a 1-0 victory.Lee McCulloch should never be played up front or LW again.

GOAT 30,449 Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 the fact is, if our youth was good enough theyd have made their mark already and only two have made the cut. One wants warm the bench for liverpool and the other could have a big season ahead of him...fleck.We need a big strong pacey striker with an eye for goal, ala cousin, this is where we should spend some money, becayse this is an important area, especially in europe if were playing 451.

One wants warm the bench for liverpool and the other could have a big season ahead of him...fleck.Do you mean from the players at the club like Mcgregor or the ones that have moved on like Hutton ?.I still think we have a couple of players who have a chance to make it , if Wylde is given the opportunity he can be a useful player down the left hand side of the park IMO.Andy Little is still just a boy , just because the likes of Rooney and Messi become superstars as school kids , doesn’t mean others will , it takes some players time to progress and mature.

Davy 68 Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 I don't think we will win the league if we go into the new season with Kenny Miller playing up front on his own. He isn't consistent enough for me, and doesn't score enough goals. That's fine if we get goals from other areas of the park, but we don't.Lafferty ended the season well, but can he be relied upon to produce the goods regularly? I hope so, but he hasn't done it yet.We need another striker in there, someone like Jason Roberts or Marlon Harewood. Both of whom would shit all over the SPL in my opinion!

chris_glasgow 2 Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 If we going into next season with Laff and Miller as our two strikers then we are going to need Thomson, Davis and Edu to start scoring more aswell. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amac9 2,060 Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 If Lafferty is to be given a run up front then it has to be a sustained run of games. None of this play him up front one game and then LW the next. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueSuedeSambas 53,775 Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 Riordan Controversial I know, but I think he'd prove to be a brillant signing.Bags of natural talent, versatile, good at se pieces and one of the few SPL players capable of scoring 15-20 goals a season.

Poetry_In_Blue 1,043 Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 And to think Riordan almost joined us once, but Celtic offered Hibs more money at the time and Hibs sold him rather than lose him for nothing, and then Celtic ruined him whilst he was there.

MartinGers93 388 Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 Lafferty will produce if he is played up front every game imo. but we will need someone else we can't rely on Miller, Lafferty, Velicka and Fleck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManchestGer 347 Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 I wouldn't really call it a replacement for Boyd. The type of player we need for CL would certainly not be a replacement but a different type of player in general, as for the SPL I think the palyers we have are capable of doing the job there. The only thing thats really bothered me is that he's gone for free. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
