Clemdog 39,389 Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 In relation to Jelavic he's not a better finisher. Similar when it comes to holding up the ball and linking up the play. But he's definitely got the edge when it comes to isolating his CB out wide and taking him for a hot dog. Overall Jelavic dragged us to a title, so right now I'd have to pick him.

He's head and shoulders ahead of Alfredo overall, and certainly finishing wise. So is Hateley for that matter. McCoist was fucking brilliant. 6 yard box striker they say. Only scores taps in they say. Lazy they say. Fat and slow they say. What a load of nonsense. His all round game was far better than people give him credit for and he would regularly run the channels, hold it in, link up the play not to mention pinging them in from all angles, outside the box, inside the box, left foot, right foot, volleys, headers, overhead kicks, everything. He scored many great goals but his two goals away at the sheep to clinch the golden boot was a thing of beauty!

Bearsden bear 2,376 Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Remember Mccoist had hatelely or falco as a partner. As a lone striker hes the best we've had......All those goals and not a pen among them. Hes still young and improving all the time He will rightly net us a fortune!! Big thanks to JJ and Pedro for him! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

His overhead kick goal always stick out for me, I was young but I didn’t expect him to do it and went on about that goal for weeks trying to copy him on red ash lol Laudrup1984 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inigo 32,676 Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 McCoist scored some deft finishes from outside the box that I haven't seen matched even by the likes of Laudrup and Gazza. Some of his finishing was sublime. Laudrup1984 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomatasauce 1,253 Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 There will never be an argument who our best striker of all time was, the fact Morelos is mentioned in the same bracket as a mccoist shows how good he is, if he stayed as long as mccoist, id go out on a lim an say I think morelos would become our best all time striker but it will never happen and it’s just an opinion feel free to disagree Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Nosed Babe 20,990 Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Bet Alfredo would be flattered to be mentioned in the same breath as some of these guys. I would say he is on the way to becoming our best striker since Super Ally. Certainly I think he is as loved by the fans as Ally was as a player.

The Ibrox Derry 9,023 Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Obviously we want him to stay, but say we got £15-20 million for him, that could buy us, and possibly guarantee us the league next season. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No matter how good an all round player is, you can’t beat having a guy who just scores goals almost every game or second game, juve got pumped tonight with arguably one of the best all round strikers in world football you need a goal scoring poacher for the games when the team are not at it, like ally, big boyd won us some amount of spl games when we were poor by being nothing but a goal scorer who only needed 1 chance Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you go back and look at old videos McCoist's partnership with Mo Johnston is fucking incredible. Interplay between the two is seriously good. I think most people mainly remember McCoist getting knock downs from Hateley. Laudrup1984 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GA1972 9,840 Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Jelavic and Cousin at their best still better for me but what a player this guy is Whatever figure we get for him it better blow what they got for hype job Dembele out the water Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
McEwan's Lager 30,881 Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Not fishing here - I think he's the best striker we have had since Kenny Miller in 10/11. ForeverAndEver 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ibroxholm 2,291 Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 He is like a pocket Hateley. He was the last striker we had that bullied and intimidated defenders the way Alfie does. gmcf 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueSuedeSambas 54,488 Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 I think Jelavic, Prso and Morelos are probably the best three strikers we have had in the last 15 years. Controversial maybe because Cousin was talented, Boyd scored for fun and Miller was superb in his second spell but Morelos is absolutely different class.

Heshootshescores 1,905 Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Comparing Morelos with McCoist is as relevant as comparing a goalkeeper with a centre half. Totally different players. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
