He might not become a cult figure like Nacho Novo, but essentially plays in a similar role with similar effect: Nacho Novo - Games: 228 - Goals: 62 - Assists: 21 Fashion Sakala - Games: 88 - Goals: 21 - Assists: 15 ... and IIRC, Novo hardly faced the brickwall attitude that we see nowadays with Scottish teams. He sure is one of these "attackers" that are not a typical centre-forward type, but has been rather effective on the right side of our attack than most players out there for the best part of three seasons. Only Cantwell has outshone his contributions in terms of goals, assists, and goal involvements this year. I'd even go as far as saying that without these two players, the year 2023 would have been a far more dire affair indeed. He's got a contract till 2025 and I for one hope that he stays for at least this long.

He's both awful and useful. Had a good game at the weekend though. If an offer for £3m+ came in for him, I'd snap your hand off for it, but I'll not lose any sleep if we keep him as a squad player for next season.

If McCrorie keeps his game up to the standard he has set so far I would give him the the No1 jersey and use the money saved to get a really good striker.

He's awfully useful.

I thought he had Jota in his back pocket...

get rid of director of football been tried didnt work souness didnt need one won the league

Inter will have an advantage over a travel-weary AC. Oh wait…

What he means is, 'I don't like the DoF, so I'm going to make up anything I can to criticise him and question the whole DoF structure even if every elite side in world football uses one.'

'caught watching'

Morelos - 44 games (2,200 mins) - 12 goals - 7 assists Kent - 44 games (3,670 mins) - 3 goals - 10 assists Cantwell - 17 games (2,223 mins) - 4 goals - 5 assists

He’s got tremendous work rate he’s probably done more running in his last 90 minutes than Morelos and Kent have done in the past 90 days .

Our memories are often inaccurate, too. You always need those players, anyway. @Sutton_blows_goats always talks about Maurice Ross and Bob Malcolm. Average players at best, but integral squad players.

My report on today's U18's win over Celtic https://rfcyouths.wordpress.com/2023/05/16/win-over-local-club-for-18s/

Bit off topic but I've seen some misleading headlines but this takes the biscuit... https://www.glasgowtimes.co.uk/sport/23524238.giovanni-van-bronckhorst-lifts-dutch-title-first-job-rangers/

I know but if we had a striker playing today that was effectively 1 goal in 3.5 games, we would be asking questions.

Nisbet would be another kemar roofe he’s always injured

But he did always seem to score goals that mattered.

Powell? Edit: Did you mean Dowell?

We have just ditched the Hollandaise, ffs. I don't think that we are ready for more Dutch dressing.

Tbh Yuddie, I don't want Nisbet. I think we're beyond that level now. I do like the look of the lad Krasso from st Ettienne though.

So this is just something Cantwells agent would insist on so he does not get priced out a move back to England. Cheers Rab

Higher than even than that. One of the foreign geezers.

I'm not getting my hopes up. I've been burned too many times before...

I would be surprised if epl clubs were not looking at him. He has had our number for a while with a bang average team, barring ccv & jota.

We can't change every under-performing player in the summer so Sakala may be one that's worth keeping for another season as, despite his obvious short-comings, he does contribute in a positive sense more often than some. Because of that he does have some reasonable transfer value as well so may well be moved on sooner rather than later.

Apart from his excellent work rate, injury record and never getting in trouble with the ref, Sakala contributes numbers.

In the big games he missed when it counted.

Deep down, they all know that we're not. The season ticket numbers prove it. Also, if we were new, they wouldn't spend as much time trying to convince everyone (including themselves) of that as we'd be irrelevant.
