magic8ball 27,901 Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 This is the No10 everybody has been screaming for for years now ,he’s young and a level of quality we could only dream about The only downside for me is a wee bit lack of pace but that’s not always needed playing here with a bank of 10 defenders ,The other thing is a lack of experience to be consistent week in week out , Get him signed ,give him that 10 and give him the chance ,he certainly wants it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just going by the current situation and the club would perhaps plan for the worst case scenario such as no football until possibly the new year. Surely this must limit our finances for the coming season Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hagi won us games and that's just coming in half way through a season not knowing the system or teammates. We have got rid of the likes of Halliday, Flannigan, Wes and a few others that will free up some finances on top of the usual revenue streams and player sales. If we want to win trophies we have to have better players in the squad and Hagi is a better player than most in his position currently. By "that area " do you mean the system with the loan striker and two no.10s behind him coz why that works in Europe i think it fails against the parked bus employed by many Scottish teams Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think we need to play a certain way to beat the dug shite we play in this country, we have the better players and should be able to break down teams who play defensive football. We are of course going to have to mix it up at some points due to injury/suspentions but Hagi is a player who could potentially make us a lot of money in a few years while providing the spark we need now. When we have been signing players like Hellander for basically the same fee I don't think it's such a bad deal to get someone in like Hagi. I think it's a bit of a bargain tbh in this market Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
southcoastbear 1,639 Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 No saying I wouldn't sign him if there is enough money after we have secured players for the key positions we must strengthen then fine as long as spending all the money doesn't put the club at risk Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The issue we had was pretty much our entire squad fell out of form and we didn’t have the strength in depth to change things up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is more of a goal creator. I would buy this lad and build the attacking part of the team around him. Find who in the squad can be his back up or get someone in who can. This means Gerrard need to change the shape of the team to get the best out of him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BridgeIsBlue 66,606 Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 He's got the potential to be a really special player alongside Morelos, if we can keep the two of them here and build the team around them we won't be far off to where we need to be. They're 100% the best chance we have currently of being successful, it's finding the other pieces of the puzzle to slot into place which is the challenge.
