Think he did show enough to take a punt on at £600k though BridgeIsBlue, Bears r us, Fred H Crawford and 3 others 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bears&Reds 460 Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 I didn't want him when we signed him in January and he did nothing to change my mind in his time at the club, we need to be aiming higher. Sid2103 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDFM 3,809 Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 Not sure where he’s developed the reputation as this clinical finisher, missed a couple Morelos type chances with us and Hibs before. That being said, for the rumoured price, I’d take him. Sid2103 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FSM 20,892 Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 The days of signing squad players for 600K are over. We need to be using money like that to put towards some first team quality, then finding squad players through Bosmans, loans and the youth system.

Camshy 817 Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 He has a great touch and can bring people into the game BUT if Stevie G plays with a lone striker I think it would be money wasted. 2 up top then it's a different story, I feel we need to be a little wiser with our money however.

Dont ask me who right enough, I would leave that up to Mr Gerrard. wearethepeople1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross-Gazza genius 2,041 Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 Has the attitude and character I wish our other players had but as a footballer he's bang average and I'd rather the money went towards much better players. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prso's headband 36,807 Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 Don’t think 600k would get us a player like him in terms of being a squad player and knowing the game up here etc. I’d be looking for another player to play with Morelos or challenge him with Cummings as a squad player Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bearsden bear 2,376 Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 Had high hopes for him but fair to say it hasnt worked out. Playing up on his own was a complete waste of time & i think we can get (& need) better than him to compete. Great lad though and I hope he does well in the future Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STEPPS BOY 77,603 Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 I suspect Gerrard’s priority will be strengthening his starting 11 first and nearer end of window looking at players who can subsidise squad. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bombaybadboy08 15,660 Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 I’m torn(and no not my arsehole) I don’t think he’s shown enough but I don’t think we’ve given him the platform the spoon burners did. You can’t fault the guys heart and I don’t think we’re snobby enough yet to rule him out as someone who can do a job if we have suspensions or injuries under someone like Gerrard.

Drunk and disorderly. 15,081 Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 Can't say any of his displays particularly stood out. Overrated mediocre player with a funny tattoo. BlueAvenger and Mols94 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pollok-bear 7,537 Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 I had high hopes for him also and he has been a complete dissappointment. We dnt have time to go oh but he might get better. Thats our fucking problem. Get him to fuck. Not good enough plus he was oot drinking wae tht wee poofy looking prick scott allan. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ger_onimo 20,488 Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 We need 4 strikers. If he’s 4th choice at £600k I’m more than happy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueAvenger 10,756 Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 He is nowhere near good enough. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
plumbGER 24,518 Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 For 600k he would be worth a punt to be a squad player, could easily take the place of Miller or Herrera. Who knows he could develop into a very good striker under the proper guidance, definitely a decent low risk signing.

Not sure where we see a striker for us next season in that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inigo 33,338 Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 I don't get the idea of punts for squad players either. Seems to me that strategy (if you can call it that) is more likely to end up with more substandard dross sitting waiting for someone to come along and take the wage off our hands. Every signing now should be well considered and justified, as best we can. 600k is still a lot of money. BlueAvenger 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walter-of-Smith 566 Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 Sign him up Stevie. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perth_Campsie_Ger 18,595 Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 I'd take him, I think he would thrive under Gerrard. He would want to impress him and has that cockyness that celtic have had with brown. As long as he got time on the pitch I think he would thrive.

Bellshill_Bear 1,105 Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 I would sign him, would benefit playing in a team that creates better quality chances zipping the ball about with confidence. dont think he got a good run of games last season Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeparateEntityMyArse 55,399 Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 He'd be 4th choice striker and for me that should be a promoted development player or very promising loanee. So 600k is a bit rich for me. Think we can do better tbh. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
