Dennis Reynolds 1,329 Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 Hateley aside (who was actually also a very good technical football player) just about every other big physical forward I have seen us sign, has been pretty shite. It rarely works for us and has never been a style we have used when playing football needed to win the league, in doing that we have tended to lean on players who were technically gifted. Prso, Jelavic didn't actually play football of big physical forwards, they tended to lean far heavier on their technical skill than physical. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GersInCanada 7,775 Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 If it's true that Lille have been talking to Alredo and have agreed personal terms with him then it only have been with our permission. Assuming that is the case then we will have identified replacements and are ready to move if Lille meet our valuation. Like everybody else I have no idea who those targets might be. I would hope for a Mols or Jelavic type of player rather than a battering ram. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camshy 812 Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 Even if Morelos stays, which is looking unlikely, I still think we need a striker or forward player in the team. Who that is will be a tough one as decent forward players are difficult to attract to our league. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Defoe is just ragdolled about, and doesn’t even have pace to make up for it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have seen loads of Rangers players who could physically handle themselves who were nowhere near as good as Defoe has been. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Defoe is fine at home IMO, goes missing away when it’s a bit more physical / difficult. Anyway, I’m not saying buy a big lump and go route one. You ideally what someone who’s a. Good enough first of all, and b. Can mix it physically if need be. Think Jelavic, rather than Ikpeazu. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taylor would be useful but he falls short imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The landscape has changed drastically since then. And I’m sure we did have Steven Thompson in the squad then too? So that strike force/team wouldn’t score as many as back then?

doc holliday 1,653 Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 i hope we get a really good offer for Alfie.Lille buy at a relatively low/bargain level for players with real potential and sell high witness the Nigerian they signed for circa 10 million euros and sold shortly after for over 50 million euros,a fantastic profit.Beware Rangers and get real money not 13 million Euros which is a steal for Morelos.
