Hamdi Salihi

[DamienM855 413]

Seen the guy play twice, admittedly only via streams on the internet, but looks a great player!

A former strike-partner with Jelavic at Rapid Vienna he was part of the reason Vienna scored more goals than any other team in the league last season, as well as scoring 17 goals in 25 starts this season. He is 27-year old, quite pacey, strong, and quite obviously a natural born goalscorer, scoring 128 goals in 222 appearances over his whole career - thats an average of a goal every 2nd game for those who can do the math.

Oh... and here's a quote, taken before Rapid Vienna played Celtic, That I think you all will like.

'I am ready to battle Celtic. I cannot wait to show the Scottish fans my thirst for goals.'

[J...R 20]

How much is he worth?

[DamienM855 413]

How much is he worth?

Well Rapid aren't in the financial position they were in last year, as they have no European football this season. I'd say we could maybe sneak him for somewhere between £2-3M.

[King Jela 20,469]

128 in 222 ?

That's impressive.

[johanhentze 14,168]

This has been mentioned before. Him and Jelavic obviously worked well together. Worth a punt I think!!

[G.E.C. 18,863]

Fuck doing business with Rapid again!

[Thommo 708]

Would be a great signing.

[supermac 115]

Great shout I'd love this.

[Broxi 11,518]

would be a great signing I think. Unless Goodwillie is available for less than £2m I think we should turn to this guy.

First priority though is 3 CBs (if weir and bougherra go), a wide midfielder and preferably a CM? although I'd like Ness to get a shot

[RossS1873 1,671]

if his strike rate is that good ten it would be crazy not to go for him. plus hes already worked with jelavic and formed a partnership with him at rapid. only thing is they'd probably want crazy money again

[nvager 498]

Seen him play last season or early this season with Jelavic and he looked real good.

[Goianegra 4,684]

But will he be able to play in Europe?

[Lee_RFC 6]

But will he be able to play in Europe?

if he gets the playing early enough

[stuart1994 4,307]

Would play well IMO as him and Jelavic have good history but centre backs should be our first option.

[JM1872 3,714]

Since we've lost out on Goodwillie, it seems.. we should look to this guy.

Has a very impressive scoring record at Rapid over the last two seasons, 33 in 55 games, and partnered Jelavic in his first season at the club (Salihi's).

Would be interesting to see how he would get on with Jela in Scotland.

Thoughts?

[Broxi 11,518]

sign him up

[Muff 245]

Mentioned him on a few occassions last season as a partner for Nikica Jelavic.

[JM1872 3,714]

sign him up

My immediate thought as soon as Goodwillie seemed to be heading further and further away from the Glasgow City Centre turn off

Someone email Gordon Smith about him. May take him a few weeks to track down our bid maker and share the info, but I'm sure we can sort something out

[DougieGers 26]

His stats are impressive in terms of number of goals

[JM1872 3,714]

His stats are impressive in terms of number of goals

He could be and should be a serious target!

Only we seem to be very narrow minded in our targets just now

We could definitely do worse imo.

well dug out mate

reinstating an already good partnership

nice one .

[JM1872 3,714]

Contract's up next summer too according to reports. Chievo of Serie A are lurking around him supposedly.

I'm excited about the prospect of us signing him, even though we aren't even interested

[DougieGers 26]

Move quickly on this one would be good, unless ally is pulling an ortiz and there is plenty we dnt know

[Ultras 18]

This is so misleading for people who dont read the caption.

[SirWalterSmithLegend 206]

Yes, but wont happen.
