DamienM855 413 Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 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.' Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
J...R 20 Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 How much is he worth? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DamienM855 413 Posted May 19, 2011 Author Share Posted May 19, 2011 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Jela 20,662 Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 128 in 222 ?That's impressive. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
johanhentze 14,312 Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 This has been mentioned before. Him and Jelavic obviously worked well together. Worth a punt I think!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
G.E.C. 19,066 Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 Fuck doing business with Rapid again! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thommo 708 Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 Would be a great signing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
supermac 115 Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 Great shout I'd love this. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broxi 11,680 Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RossS1873 1,750 Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nvager 498 Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 Seen him play last season or early this season with Jelavic and he looked real good. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goianegra 4,702 Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 But will he be able to play in Europe? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee_RFC 6 Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 But will he be able to play in Europe?if he gets the playing early enough Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuart1994 4,417 Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 Would play well IMO as him and Jelavic have good history but centre backs should be our first option. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JM1872 3,772 Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 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? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broxi 11,680 Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 sign him up Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muff 245 Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 Mentioned him on a few occassions last season as a partner for Nikica Jelavic. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JM1872 3,772 Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JM1872 3,772 Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 His stats are impressive in terms of number of goalsHe 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.

JM1872 3,772 Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
