Morelos 18 goals last season 16 so far this.

Excellent improvement. Think he will hit 30-35 goals by the season is over. 

[BlueSuedeSambas 53,853]

I think we will struggle to keep him in January tbh.

[plumbGER 24,518]

Attention seeking from him imo.

Sell in January any hopes of a title challenge go with him.

If the offer is right we will. Gerrard has admitted that himself.

Agreed. But if the money is right I don’t think we will turn it down. Maybe it’s just paranoia but this week we have had a strong link with Solanke, Allen saying we are after a striker in January and Gerrard saying he will “fall out with people” to try and keep him. I honestly think there is serious interest in him, we know it and we are making a contingency plan incase that interest is firmed up.

Absolutely but it would have to be crazy money. For me even £10M would be too little. He's by far our most important outfield player.

£15 million minimum for me but keeping him is vital to our chances of success this season.

That’s the thing though mate, if Gerrard is saying he’ll di that to keep him, and his man management seems great this far, then if he’s successful from January onwards the bids won’t go away they will only increase, keeping him is paramount in us having a successful season but it’s only 6 months in Morelos career, I personally think that if he stays and fires us to 55 then he’ll get his big move and with Gerrards blessing and I honestly believe that will play a part

Dembélé scores 16 in his last season with them and is sold for £20 million- why would we sell for less?

Money talks, £15m or thereabouts and he’ll be away

[Drunk and disorderly. 14,487]

He is the Premierships' top goal scorer with 8 goals and 4 assists.

Not bad for a 21 year old.

The bids will still be there in August and stopping them winning ten is worth so much more.

Hard to believe with his hold up play and the way he moves cunts about his assists are only at 4. 

[Gaffbear 4,096]

Would be suicide to sell in January.. if he scored another 15/20 Feb to may hell command £20m

That cunt is nowhere near as good as Morelos for me mate.

Unless It's an insanely huge amount of money I think it'd be mad to sell our best striker.

[Amac9 2,060]

He had 2 different spells last season when he went 10 games without a goal yet still managed 18 goals.

Should be targeting minimum 30 goals this season.

It's not enough for a player of his potential. He could become a £50-60million player but he'll only get that chance either down south or on a decent European stage, at the moment though nothing less than £20million should be considered.

I think a lot of his assists probably came in cup games.

[the old guard 2,323]

I was one of his biggest critics, he's proving me wrong and long may it continue, would love to see him with a proper playmaker behind him, for me ejaria doesn’t do anywhere near enough.

Rangers manager Steven Gerrard will "fight tooth and nail" to keep Alfredo Morelos at Ibrox for as long as he can.

The striker came on to score the second goal and set up the third in a 3-0 win over Livingston that moved Rangers to second in the Scottish Premiership.

However, a 13th yellow card of the season means the Colombian, 22, will serve a league suspension.

"I will fall out with people to keep him here, that's how much I like him," said Gerrard.

"He is happy, he is enjoying his work. I'm told by people who have been around a long time it's the happiest he has looked.

"He recently signed a new deal. He has just got to keep going. The key thing for us is to keep him healthy and try to avoid these yellow cards."

Morelos scored 18 goals in his debut campaign at Ibrox and is already on 16 in his second season in Glasgow.

He was rested as Rangers kicked off the first of four matches in 11 days but he came on for Kyle Lafferty in the 62nd minute with the hosts struggling to finish off Livingston after Daniel Candeias' 20th-minute opener.

"There is no doubt he is going to shatter what he got last season because we are creating chances," said Gerrard.

"I'll fight tooth and nail to keep him here as long as possible.

"I love him and respect him - but I also understand every player has his price. From day one I have told you I love him and that hasn't changed. It has grown, it is getting more.

"I want to keep him here as long as possible because he makes my job a lot easier."

Morelos' booking on Saturday appeared to be for dissent after referee Nick Walsh tried to speak to the Colombia international and Livingston defender Alan Lithgow following a clash between the pair.

"No complaints," said Gerrard said he had "no complaints" about the yellow card, adding: "I need to share some of that blame as well.

"I'm asking him to be in people's faces, I'm asking him to be aggressive and press and not stop short, and really do what other centre-forwards do to our defenders.

"His performance for 30 minutes was superb and we have just got to enjoy him. He's a top player."
