Morelos is a busted flush now, he's had his moments but he's nowhere near the player he was in 2019. Ah right misread that. He was fine under GvB last season but unfortunately got injured. His fitness this season has been unacceptable and a lot of that is down to him but if MB reckons he could get him back to his best I would support it. I do think a fresh start probably suits all parties. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roofe will be here but dose he stay fit? Sakala an out and out striker? I see six or seven new faces next season with plenty going the other way, one or two will surely be in the striking department to make up the required numbers.

Colak has scored 19 goals or more in 3 of the last 5 seasons and then also has 17 this season already too. in Croatia, Sweden and Scotland. Poor in Greece. So that would be 4 very good seasons in the last 6. With one scoring 26 goals and another 22 goals. Hardly an anomaly. Neither are good enough to be the main striker, no point comparing the two anyway. graeme_4 and The No.9 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's managed to score more than 20 twice in his career and he's currently on his 4th highest tally for a season. Not sure he'll beat his best for a season (26) but definitely on track to hit his second (22) Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surprising that. Thought they would be higher. His goals for domestic minutes really haven’t been that impressive, particularly the last few years. Roofe actually has a much better record. (Although never fit). Morelos also good for the odd red and dropped points each season. Should be replaceable Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the league is our bread and butter and it is where we expect players to perform, it is what players are judged upon before anything else. Alfredo Morelos' league performances for Rangers are more than replaceable. European Alfredo Morelos is a different story. But we need to actually be getting there first. graeme_4, The No.9, Broxi and 1 other 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s like a bird who seems to have the painters in every time you get frisky. The old Alfie was great but he’s long gone and hoping that some miracle will restore him is kidding yourself on. Two mobile, pacy forwards required as a minimum to replace Morelos, Roofe and Wright. Would upgrade Sakala too if possible but there’s a limited budget and other positions (ie goalkeeper) need addressed too. Be good to see more game time for Ure, Lovelace etc. And whatever happened to Alegria? superallysbears, OrangeRab and Loyal72 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
