TheBloubellsAreBlouie 209 Posted January 26, 2012 Author Share Posted January 26, 2012 Apparently he's 6ft 8" .......Just thought I'd throw that in.No reason..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senna 735 Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Between Kevin Davies and this guy, it doesn't look like the humps up the park will desist. Still, we need a striker in and at 6'8, he could do some proper damage in the air.STV have picked it up now.http://sport.stv.tv/football/scottish-premier/rangers/295176-michael-uchebo-on-trial-with-rangers/Reading from that, VVV want a fee for the lad, his scoring record isn't wonderful 10 in 48 apps, and would need an appeal for a work permit.

4MenHadADream 122 Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 His record is appalling, but he is still young, and I suppose we can't go wrong with a trial Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

broxibear87 129 Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 From what I've seen on youtube (I know) he looks pretty good. Quite fast for a big guy and obviously good in the air and on the deck. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WilliamMunny 3,242 Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 I'd take him - he looks like he can cause defences a lot of trouble. Need another though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PRW. 5,631 Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Does seem impressive. Obviously not a goalscorer but someone like him with Boyd/Salihi would be impressive. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Godfather 71,990 Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 It reminds me of Lafferty's role...a big tall front man who we can lump the ball to and hope it sticks. Suppose we are trying to get a look at as many forwards as we can just now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

disgruntled_bear 157 Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 If were thinking he's a big long target man, then were going to be disappointed. His style of play is more like Peter Crouch, he's very good technically who likes the ball to feet, rather than punted up long to. Part of the reason Stoke decided to pass up on the opportunity to snap him up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 This guy and salihi and uche in before the end of the window would be good business and depending on how much vvv want for uchebo could all be brought in for about 2 million maybe ? Also with players now that can deliver a good ball in from set pieces etc we could be deadly from them with the height we would have Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

God Bless The Papac 32 Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 No caps though, would he get a work permit? Was this not why Stoke let him go?THEM got work permits for wanbamaaa with kenya being out the required fifa rankings and the psv wonderkid (who got released) with no caps for Nigeria being in the required rankings so if we dont get a work permit for a player who has played 50+ games for a Eredivisie team questions neeed to be asked m8 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
