The club is looking to get in another striker...and if we bring one in, that'll say enough for me about how much of a goalscorer we really think Silva will be

Shankland and Silva are completely different players
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Shankland played what almost 20 games or so as a number 10 last year?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Kris Boyd was a penalty box striker, Walter Smith tried to get him to improve his work outside the box, improve his linkup play, but Boyd always had that goalscoring ability, he was an excellent finisher

Shankland has that, he scores goals...the fact Naismith and Hearts are trying to get him to do other things over and above that, doesn't take away the fact that the guy knows where the goal is, and given a chance in and around the box, he will score

Silva seems to be the opposite....he has good technical ability, he will link up the play, bring others into the game and drop deep to get on the ball

...that's all well and good, but first and foremost given the amount of chances Dessers has missed, given the old firm results and lack of goals from our attacking players in those fixtures, and given the few chances we will get against too teams in Europe....we don't need a well rounded forward that can do all the good work in and around the box but is hit and miss when it comes to taking chances....we need a finisher
----------------------------------------------------------------------
How many goals did Boyd score against Celtic for Rangers and how many did he score in Euro comps?
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Are you trying to argue he wasn’t a penalty box striker?The reason he didn’t even start regularly in Europe or in some old firms was exactly that
----------------------------------------------------------------------
You're arguing with Stevie about Boyd and Shankland being the same kind of player after he said Shankland played 20 games as a 10.
Excuse my confusion.

I’m lost. I was saying Shankland is more than a penalty box striker, and that he gets involved the play.

Not sure what Boyd scoring in Europe has to do with that!

We went into this window with ONE quality defender at the club ... CCV, who's apparently getting knee scans after having recurring injury issues all season. It would surely be new levels of negligence, even for us, to do nothing yet again to address that. But here we are, seemingly doing fook all.

"fs stevie you want a guy that clinical and proven goalscorer in the mid season window. we dont have the money for that."

But we do have the money to play a Premier League players wages?

I like Silva, I do
I just don't think he's what we need right now
Would have far rathered a striker with somewhat of a proven record....not a 21 year old that's never hit double figures

There are strikers out there that we can afford

I think he is exactly what we need, we have a goalscorer and he is a different option to that.


If you are saying that there are striker we could afford, you must have an idea who.... so who ?

We're skint. We can't buy anyone in this window, which is why we're getting loans.

Because Beale spaffed all our cash on diddies.

Celtic won't buy anyone cause we're skint so they don't think they have too.

At the stage where you just have to laugh, as they clearly don't give a fook. It also looks increasingly like BR doesn't actually give a fook any more either ... only explanation for the complete lack of any attempt to make the "quality signings" he previously said was after. Even more damning after our utter car crash of last summer's transfer window.

I knew this was coming.....we have a scouting department for that mate, same ones that identified Cortes, Diomande and Silva, players none of us would ever think of as potential signings until they walk through the door

Hopefully our scouts at looking at someone like that right now and working to get him in the door, given the reports

well your the one that said they was affordable options. So I assumed you had some in mind but turns out you dont so your claim of saying there are affordable proven goalscorers out there for us was based on nothing.

I would think pour scouts are not given we already have what you are after at the club IMO.

He is being linked with both rangers and celtic which normally means its an agent putting it out to anyone and everyone.

All of our signings had no hint of previous guess work beforehand, only time the name has come up is after stuff has been agreed it seems. Normally thats a pretty good sign as it means we are the ones identyfying who we go for rather than agent offers.

I’m not sure we could afford him tbh

There's always options mate
You are just being facetious if you are saying the only striker we could have signed this window that fit the bill was Fabio Silva, I mean ffs

posted on 1/2/24

Clement has got a tune out of Dessers, and has chosen to sign Silva. Clearly he was the best option we’ve seen.

Obv everyone is a Pep these days though and knows better on whether someone is a 9 or a 9 and a half
