Gaffer 1,665 Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 11 hours ago, RANGERRAB said: I'd be surprised if he went for Moult. However I do think there's more than a possibility we'll go for Oli McBurnie whose contract at Swansea is up at the end of the season. I agree. I think Moult is a good player, but not what we need to push for a title. We either need to go for better players than him, or younger players with potential to be much better. I'd not seen much of McBurnie, but I'll look out more for him now because in that showing again st Costa Rica, I thought he looked quite promising. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A club of our size needs to be aiming for decent Europa League level players. Such players don't need to be expensive and I'd say the likes of Morelos and Candeias fit the bill. Players that aren't good enough for Preston are a million miles from where we need to be. Scoring goals in Scotland for non OF teams is the equivalent to scoring goals in one of the lowest English divisions. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMAA 3,603 Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 (edited) I don't get the negativity towards him. He proved at Motherwell that Motherwell was not his level. Motherwell were a force in the first half of the season and struggled since he left. Struggling at Preston isn't a good sign, granted. But there are endless reasons why a player doesn't make an impact at a club in his first 3 months. The best bargains are often when a player simply doesn't fit into a manager's style and appears worse than he really is. There are countless examples but how about Mourinho selling De Bruyne, who appeared just not to be Chelsea standard, or even Cummings who couldn't even make a subs appearance for Nottingham Forest? With Miller and Herrera out the door in the summer (hopefully), Moult would be a great signing if we're talking the low hundreds of thousands as a back up striker. That would potentially leave us with Morelos, Cummings and Moult. Sounds good to me. Edited March 26, 2018 by DMAA 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would argue that he's not exactly set the heather alight with us yet. I've not seen much to suggest he's going to be an outstanding player for us.... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walterbear 557 Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 Thought McBurnie was one of the very few players to get pass marks v CR. If it was a choice between him and Moult it’s an easy decision. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine we’d signed him straight from Hibs for that, you’d never have believed it. We know he’s good enough to play for Rangers, he’s just had the misfortune of having Morelos ahead of him and having a manager who only wants to play 1 up front. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

compo 6,142 Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 He has been a flop at Preston so why waste money in buying him 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnMc 2,473 Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 Ally McCoist was a "flop" at Sunderland. Brian Laudrup was a "flop" at Fiorentina. Steve Davis was a "flop" at Aston Villa and Fulham. James Tavernier was a "flop" at both Newcastle and Wigan. Sone Aluko was a "flop" at Birmingham City. Some careers go backwards before they go forwards again. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott7 5,173 Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 Moult played very well against Rangers but my granny might have done all right against Rangers’ central defence and she’s not a good player. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
