Linky Posted January 4, 2022 Report Share Posted January 4, 2022 17 minutes ago, RandomGuy said: He scored 8 last season. 20 in the 3 seasons before this one. No striker will be leaving IMO. This season he has scored once, 8 in the Turkish second division last season, none in the Turkish top league the season before. 18/19 was a good season for him with 12. 4 in the season before that (17/18), none 16/17. I don't think it's a bad signing, but his record is up and down. If it works, he seems to be capable of getting double figures in a decent league.

Linky Posted January 4, 2022 Report Share Posted January 4, 2022 Would we really go with 4 strikers for 1 spot (including Eetu in this)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dunblanemike Posted January 4, 2022 Report Share Posted January 4, 2022 Our problem this season has been in not getting the ball in to areas that strikers can score from. We could have Lukaku as our striker and he would fail to score the way we have played. I’m hopeful our new signings will provide us more controlled footy leading to increased scoring opportunities but must say slightly underwhelmed by Cifti rumours Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Real Saints Posted January 4, 2022 Report Share Posted January 4, 2022 (edited) I mean... Considering the fact that I've been fearful of what Callum Davidson might deem acceptable as a striker target, I'd be very happy with Nadir Ciftci. He's surely a better striker than anyone we've currently got and he's probably a better striker than any other striker in the relegation battle.

I guess the question is 'If Nadir Ciftci tries to flick the ball to a teammate but loses it to the opposition instead, is he a financially viable signing? Are his wages worth 45 minutes of action in total?'. There's a lot to consider really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBored Posted January 4, 2022 Report Share Posted January 4, 2022 Has Devine left? Haven't seen anything official about him. Gallacher coming in would suggest he has. TG will hopefully offer a bit more of an attacking option on the left and put a bit of pressure on Booth. The Ciftci of a number of years ago when he signed for Celtic, yes, no problem. The current version....can't say I am particularly sure that is going to work out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats not necessarily a bad thing - be nice to have a striker that just stays up the park and gives our panicking defence something to aim their clearances at rather than just into space only for the ball to come back at them 10 seconds later.

Devine and Dendoncker away and Muller is on the way home although that last one hasn't been confirmed. Efe free to speak to other clubs as well apparently.

Can’t see us getting much better than that, unless we go into the lower leagues. Isn’t there a guy at Cove who scores a hat-trick every day before breakfast?
