Dutch media reporting he's to get 39k a week. Would be our highest earner?

Going to be some battle for the starting 11 this season - especially in the front 3 positions.

Sima, Lammers, Danilo, Dessers, Sakala, Matondo, Cantwell, Roofe, Hagi and Lawrence.

Hopefully see plenty of goals amongst that group.

Also hearing this is now done.
No idea what the deal but I think it will be high weekly. ?.

Paul86 I think Butland and Dessers, Roofe they’ll be others I’m not thinking off, are on good money but I think he would be the highest by a bit. Lol can see why he was so to come now. For this kind of outlay if true, he needs to be a hit.

Funny thing is Morelos was on big bucks to now he’s unemployed! Goes to show when your attitude stinks and you really unprofessionally put on quite a bit of weight nobody wants to touch u.

The boy looks good we definitely need to shift a few now. Up front is heavy. On a plus note the squad looks strong a lot of the times last season the bench was very weak.

I'm sure Goldson is on similar wages to that mate.

EHL

There are 4 attacking positions in the 4-2-4 we seem to play

Number 10
Lammers, Cantwell, Hagi and Lawrence

Wide left
Cantwell, Sakala, Sima, Hagi, Lammers and Lawrence

Wide right
Cantwell. Sakala, Sima, Hagi, Lammers and Lawrence

Number 9 (lone striker)
Dessers, Danilo, and Roofe

6 different players for the 3 attacking roles behind the striker. That’s perfect for me.

3 strikers for the 1 or sometimes 2 up front striker option if we ever change to a 4-4-2 diamond which Beale has said he likes and we saw it during the end of the game versus Hamburg on Saturday.

It’s perfect numbers for me.

Could go into the number 8 roles too. Hagi, Lawrence and Cantwell can all deputise in there too along with Cifuentes, Raskin, Jack and Lundstrum.

With Cifuentes, Raskin, Jack and Lundstrum also very capable to sit in the holding role.

With the league, cup and Europe we will hopefully be fighting on 4 fronts for the majority of the season and we will need these numbers due to injuries, suspensions and with tired legs.

Looking awesome if you ask me.

mr ranger, there's a fundamemtal issue with morelos, apart from the lack of professionalism, and lazyness, and lack of respect

and that is that he's not all that good a footballer, he has little actual skill.

possibly one of the worst strikers of a ball I've witnessed, brings strength occasionally, but he peaked at rangers and won very little, . i would be amazed if we hear of him much again, this top european scorer means absolutely nothing, there's rangers players, and strikers who aren't top european scorers who have bagsful of medals and caps
top euro scorer doesn't put him in the same stratosphere as coisty
stein, forrest, hately, and many more. it means he scored a lot of goals, often against minnows. but won nothing. thus why, he will get a club, but there's nobody chasing after him, nobody of note, he will sign for someone towards the end of the wiindow and dissappear. imo.

Defo needs to be a hot as wage high other performers will start expecting same or more.

Looks a decent prospect though so have high hopes for our forward line this year.

Goodness, I’d hate to hear what half of you would be saying about Alfie if he played for our rivals.
Give credit where credit is due, the guy ragged dolled the likes of Pepe, Hummels and so on. I can think of plenty of brilliantly struck finishes by him. Against Porto, Feyenoord, flick against Hearts, lost goes on.
Remember it wasn’t Morelos FC, just because the team didn’t win a lot of silverware can’t solely be blamed on one player.

Anyway, hope Danilo gets off to a flyer because o dread to think what some will start saying if he doesn’t.

just an honest assessment of a player, nothing more.

Fair enough picking on Alfredo faults that's fine but some fans forget quickly the wonderful m9ments he's gave us, let's have a wee numbers game add dd up how many great moments he gave us and subtract how many bad moments he gave us, I'm pretty sure the good will far outweigh the bad, could throw taverner and Goldson in that mix too, why don't we focus on our players strengths more than on the negatives, all time European goalscorer and some fans still give him dogs abuse unbelievable, I for one will remember Alfies great memories more than the bad, wish him all the very best.

i havnt forgotten mate, i loved the boy, then i changed my mind, something i can't remember doing since alfie conn.

btw i'm not alone, my entire club feels almost the same, he peaked and got too big for his limited talent, that's all, i wish him well, but not anywhere close to our finest players, imo.

There are plenty of fans who would disagree with you Tomthumb so I think your 'entire club' claim is a bit extreme regarding Morelos.

18.) 24 Jul 2023
24 Jul 2023 07:20:09
Kinghenry55 MB has said ahead of both preseason friendlies that we are lining up with 2 strikers with 1 sitting behind.

So 4-3-1-2 or 3-4-1-2.

Not that I'm a fan of either.

At the end of the day if your going to down tools at our club, your memory will be tarnished, simple as that.
Good riddance.
Morelos will disappear like a lot before him.

Essential now we get rid of ofna few players this week. Squad badly needs trimmed.

In terms of Alfie @ Tomthumb -I was only talking about his last season, I just merely mentioned that he was unprofessional and put on weight and suffers now because he doesn’t have the options that he should have ……. all facts.

I completely disagree with Tomthumb I don’t think you score that amount of goals if you have little skill as he puts it, and definitely don’t agree that he’s a bad striker of the ball, all I would say go and look at his goal home against Porto fantastic finish, and even the one away he took with amazing confidence. And Porto aren’t minnows. He scored loads like those 2.

All I was saying it’s amazing how you go from the world at your feet too not having anyone looking to sign you.

And hopefully everyone doesn’t jump on Danilo’s back too quickly as he’s coming to a completely different country and needs time like everyone. I don’t even know if he even speaks English. I remember Ridvan didn’t speak English when he came from Turkey and look how long it took for him to settle. I suspect a couple goals will help him adjust. And I don’t know if I’d be risking him on plastic pitches either.

If reports are right and he signs then- all I want is cifuentes and a defender and sort out what’s happening with BB. Then just focus on getting rid of Matondo ect! Trim the fat off because it would be nice to have a squad that everyone has a chance in it keeping the morale high. Right now there’s players I can’t see playing much.

Personally think paying out around £6m and giving a guy £39k is mental… it seems a massive outlay for our club… financial fair play already hanging over us… will definitely need to get players out the door to balance this out.

European record scorer doesn’t mean nothing and no one has said he is better than the strikers you have mentioned either but it’s in the record books whether you like it or not.

EHL Dessers also said in a presser it's not so much about formations. It's about the idea of how we want to play. Football isn't as rigid as it once was. It's no longer we are playing this formation so we won't have X, Y and Z, for example 4312 would insinuate a lack of width. In the 4312 certain players will have freedom such as Lammers and Cantwell, where as Raskin as a defensive mid would be more disciplined in protecting the back 4.

I expect once this team gels we'll be playing exciting free flowing football with goals in it. My only concern is the back 4 at this time. Souttar is, in my opinion, our best defender but injury prone, Davies I get the fear every time he has the ball and we all know about Tavs defensive frailties.

and how do you know that Alfie doesn't have a couple offers on the table that he is taking his time deciding on. i don't know if he has or not but we don't know for sure. i believe Alfie will be ok at the end of this window.

26.) 24 Jul 2023

yeah definitely an option but I was at the Newcastle and Hamburg game and only so two up top once when we had roofe and Dessers on. I think it’s just an option.

24 Jul 2023 15:49:43
Morelos will get something in Mexico, failing that he could buy a franchise from Texaco .

Bankie, if Alfie Conn was playing at the likes of Falkirk on a wet December night he would hide.

With the players signed or on pre-contracts we will have a number of players that can play box to box, play as strikers and can contribute both defensively and going forward.

We also have two solid attacking full backs and with Cifu, (when he arrives), and Raskin, we have two very strong midfield players that can support the defence and make forward runs.

One thing is for sure, certainly in Scotland, the teams that we are up against should be spending most of their time trying to stop our attacks for us to be concerned at how we defend against them if our squad is as good on the field as they are on paper!

Hint-Stop reading/ clicking on the Daily Record and Evening Times. Keith Jackson said the Danilo deal was dead last week (as pointed out by 4 lads) .
