BlueSuedeSambas 54,272 Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 I mentioned this in a thread last night but thought it would be better served as an actual topic. We have Herrera coming in plus Morelos & Miller and then there's Waghorn (permanent) and Hardie (loan) who I would expect to see leave before the window shuts but does that leave us with enough for the upcoming season? Herrera's record doesn't suggest natural goalscorer, Morelos comes with an impressive record but he's an unknown quantity and Miller is 37 going on 38. If there's more money available I really think we need to be looking at another striker with a good goalscoring record and a bit more experience than Morelos has at the moment.

jackrfc95 4,255 Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 100%. Someone who's a proven goal scorer at a decent level. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PromDeAnglais 5,660 Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Ideally we sell Waghorn - he'll never win us the league and bring in another to compete. 4 strikers including Miller would be ideal for me, Hardie out on loan. Don't want to bash Waghorn... na fuck it. He's so slow, extremely predictable, only uses his left foot and lacks composure at crucial moments. Definitely not a championship winning striker. Hopefully somebody in the Championship/League 1 bids about the 750K mark. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spliffy 643 Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 While I mostly agree, I think a proven goal scorer at spfl level is what we need. Punt Waghorn and take a chance on Moult would've been my choice but I think that ship has sailed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
j1mgg 3,766 Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 I would prefer to keep Hardie rather than send him out on loan, he needs to get it right now, or be shipped off. Morelos isn't much older than him, he would also learn from better players and have higher level of training. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought he could have been a decent back up or second fiddle to a more prolific striker with better finishing instincts but his form has been so bad that I don't think there's any way he wins the fans back around now, especially when he is clearly a confidence player.

Yeah agree, I don't think he's the type to be an impact sub. His confidence was low all last season, he needs to play week in week out to be at his best and that's not going to happen this season.

6superbarry6 14,232 Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 I'd rather sort out our fullbacks and bring in a quality wide player(Weiss) first,the taigs only have 2 strikers and seem to do okay plus I've got high hopes for Morelos Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've heard very little of him being sold, he's played a decent amount of the 2 friendlies and is someone who continually played in Pedro's short spell last season I wouldn't be surprised if he tries to play him regularly for a while Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ferris Bueller 1,569 Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Yeah think we need some more options, think Moult is worth a punt as long as they don't want daft money. Also see the sheep are after Steve May, think he could do a job, if hes over all the injury issues hes had. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we're bringing in a new striker they have to be a class above what we already have IMO. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STEPPS BOY 74,745 Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 I look at our squad and still think our major problem will be lack of goals. looks like we will be relying on Morales and Pena a lot. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marky. 6,963 Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Would like to see how Hardie does given a chance. Maybe not as a starting forward, but he could definitely have a role to play as a back-up this season and that could help him grow as a player.

Guest Lloyd72 Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Harder has to go out to a premiership side if he is going on loan, preferably Dundee or Killie. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broxi 11,586 Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 We have Dodoo as well. Morelos, Herrera, Miller and Dodoo/Hardie will be our 4/5 strikers and that's enough. Hopefully punt Waghorn Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
loyalfollower 1,543 Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 A lot of teams get away with having 3 strikers. It's brilliant to have an out n out goal scorer up front but a lot of teams share goals around the front 6. i still think we'll sign one however and another defender after the retail announcement.

Cam1872 251 Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 I think Herrera has been bought as the proven striker, albeit he isn't exactly proven. I really don't see us going out and signing a 20 goal a season player on top of who we have already... Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanoli 4,626 Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Someone with genuine, blistering pace. There's still nowhere near enough in the team. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smile 26,622 Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 100% Morelos is potential Herrera does not have a great strike rate both hopefully, turn out to be excellent but we are still short. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
