Pat McGroin Posted August 15, 2019 Report Share Posted August 15, 2019 Better be a joke. I’ve zero interest in taking on a kid that can’t get into a team that finished a couple of places above us in the league. We need a goal scorer, not a bench warmer.

Gas Monkey Posted August 15, 2019 Report Share Posted August 15, 2019 Could be lazy papertalk. Hope so. Regardless, if we have to resort to a loan deal for a key position then at least look at someone from out with Scotland so can play in all fixtures Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ScottMann Posted August 15, 2019 Report Share Posted August 15, 2019 Reading between the lines, I think we were always going to bring in one striker on a permanent deal and another on loan. Think May will still be the former so we're looking at loan options as Hemmings didn't work out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy Posted August 15, 2019 Report Share Posted August 15, 2019 His strike rate (goals per game) is worse than Hendrys and only slightly better than Kanes. 12 goals in 60 games for Hibs. Would be worth a gamble but not in our current situation. If @ScottMann is right and it's one of two forward signings then fine enough, but I cant see us running with four forwards. Kane isnt leaving and is it worth getting rid of Hendry who, at the moment, is our only vaguely reliable striker who can get goals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueheaven Posted August 15, 2019 Report Share Posted August 15, 2019 Everything pointing to Adam Morgan levels of desperation at the moment. Really, really hope Tommy has something unexpected up his sleeve, but the activity of previous transfer windows would indicate that it seems unlikely. Is there really no semi-prolific striker playing in a league somewhere in the world who would jump at an opportunity to play in the UK? Do we not even bring these sorts of guys in on trial any more? Just a thought but if it's getting to the stage where we're looking at taking Hibs kids on loan, would we not be just as well giving McMillan another chance? Is he really all that bad? I only saw him a few times but he looked OK, and Tommy spent ages trying to bring him here. I really have to wonder, if he's now considered such a bad player that he can't even get a chance in our current striker predicament, why did we sign him in the first place? Probably just adding to the desperation here but Reise Allassani is in the last year of his contract at Coventry City and hasn't been getting anywhere near the first team for them. He's only really produced the goods at non-league level but I've seen him play quite a lot and would say he's potentially worth a look? https://thecelticbhoys.com/2018/01/12/celtic-rangers-allassani/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not quite sure which part of my post that's a response to - are you comparing Morgan to Allassani? If so I'd say Allassani is the far better player (and goalscorer) based on what I've seen of them both (which I'll accept with Morgan wasn't a huge number of games, but when I did see him he was absolutely rotten).

Do you think he has a 20 goal season left in him I do not. Or do think, he is as good as his goal average? So if he is as good as his average he will score 9 goals in a 36 game league season. Will that be good enough? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he scored 9 in the league then he'd have scored more than all our strikers combined last season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
