Bruno55 0 Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 It's been a few years since I've seen anyone at ibrox with a better first touch than the horn. . 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluedell 5,348 Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 We need an out and out striker which Waghorn is not. We can either get Waggie to play off him or if it's one up tops we need a more clinical finisher. MW tends to play 4-3-3, which means 1 up top and 2 wide players. For the system to work properly we need someone with the work rate and ability of Waghorn. It doesn't really work with a Kris Boyd type player. I certainly don't have a problem with Waghorn moving wide right if we were to bring in a player with Waghorn's abilities but also with a better poaching instinct, but I'd doubt that there are too many (if any) out there that are in our price range. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kris Boyd was a pretty unique player though in terms of he was a completely useless all round player but was a very good finisher. I'm not sure if there is a specific 'type' that he falls into. A penalty box striker perhaps, but most strikers have a lot more to their game than Boyd did. A lot of teams have 4-3-3's with a Drogba or Shearer type as their focal point. Personally I'm not sure if Waghorn will be good enough to be our main striker in Europe. We're a long way from there though.

pete 2,499 Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 I prefer Waghorn wide on the right. I think he looks a far better player there. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gribz 743 Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 I think the type of striker who would absolutely thrive off this system would be a Kenny Miller of 5-6 years ago. Pacey, gets in behind and is a decent level. TBH ive not seen enough of Waghorn yet to know what to expect in the top flight, but he is doing everything right at the moment. Double figures at a new club in the first 2 months of a season - you cant ask for more and Warburton will only improve him. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
der Berliner 3,263 Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 ... that, Gribz, and his work-rate and -ethics is second to none. It would be great to get another like him up front in January. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah der, for me Millers work rate goes without saying and embarrassed imposters like Boyd before him. I was a Miller fan all day long (although bottled beer Miller is rank), always turned up and scored in big games. Waghorn is easy a level or two above your Boyds and Kyles by a country mile. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
colinstein 294 Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 Unconfirmed speculation has seen St Johnstone’s 24-year old striker Michael O’Halloran linked with a switch to Rangers. The former Bolton and Tranmere forward impressed hugely when the two sides met in the League Cup, and is said to have piqued manager Mark Warburton’s interest as a result of his display. The Glasgow born finisher, who supported Celtic as a boy, made a few waves with some comments in the press before and after his side’s victory at Ibrox, making this further development slightly left-field to say the least, but then there is quite a bit of previous recently for supposed boyhood fans of one Old Firm side to then sign with the other. Rangers are most definitely on the look-out for a striker come January, and while the former Sheffield United attacker is more recognised as a forward in the mould of our very own Martyn Waghorn, his clinical finish to seal Rangers’ fate during the sides’ meeting suggests he could, in a football sense, be a valuable addition. He is, however, under contract, having triggered an extension taking him through to summer 2016, so St Johnstone would require a fee. Whether his signature would be welcomed with open arms by supporters, though, given his background and public comments, is another question. Posted by Ibroxnoise.co.uk at 15:05 Email This BlogThis!

Bruno55 0 Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 I think your being a bit unfair to Kris Boyd he never claimed to be a grafter and if waggy goes on to score as many as boydy ( no chance) I'll eat warbs magic hat... 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt if he would ever come close to scoring as many as Boyd. But I'm certain he will set up many goals for other players, something I can't recall Boyd ever doing Bruno. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
