I think it's pretty clear that Morelos wants to move on. We all know the saying about hindsight but we should have sold him in January when his price was high and before his loss of form and this C.V.. One thing he's poor at is his aerial ability and it's got nothing to do with height. We need an old fashioned number 9 and I'd like to see Morelos go for the best price we can get on today's market and buy Lyndon Dykes, not as a squad player a straight 9. Great in the air, great first touch and doesn't accumulate yellow and red cards for fun.

Dykes as our number 1 striker? 😂😂😂.

Dykes as number 1 striker. Deary me. His scoring record is nothing to shout about. My mate played in same team as him in New Zealand and even then never out and out goalscorer. Chances are he would get as many red cards as alfredo.

Has anyone heard alfie say he wants to leave?
Or is it media guff as per.

Lyndon Dykes would be a very good signing for us and we better move fast for him, as there's a good few clubs in england interested in signing him.

Not skilful enough for me, more of a bulldozer, who doesn't score many goals and playing for the Rangers would pick up rubbishloads of cards, which he gets away with at Livi.

Dykes should be bought as number 3 striker definitely not the main one!

I would take dykes definitely but lot of Centre forwards out of contract in a few weeks, some carry unwanted baggage, some may be out our reach but I will throw a few names out there. Artem Dzyuba (let me dream guys) andy carrol🙄, steven fletcher (tim), alvaro Negredo, vedad ibisevic, okazaki, Jordan rhodes.

I think dykes would be a decent signing.

I don't think OP mentioned Dykes as first choice. The opposite in fact.
However everyone seems to forget Defoe, is he going to sit behind Shankland?
I think (if Morelos goes) we should look overseas. Dykes, Defoe and 2 overseas players (I've suggested names on prev threads) and use the best on the day.

Why we all so keen for a 30 goal a season striker morellos to go?

Re-read his post bluegenius👍
He sees Dykes as an old fashioned number 9 and would like us to play that way. If that's not Dykes as our number 1 striker then what does it mean? 🤔.

Morelos has stated he wants to go to the EPL. He wanted to go in January and threw the toys out the pram when that didn't happen. We cannot trust him knowing he could do the same next season so best to take what we can get and use the money on players we can rely on - hopefully of a better calibre than Cosgrove or Dykes.

Kfraser I take it you didn’t see Morelos goals against Feyenoord? I used to think that he had a head like a 50 pence piece too but after seeing some of his goals like the 2 against Feyenoord you can see that he’s worked on his heading in training.

He threw the dummy out wow just wow. look at the injuries we had at the start of the new year, the whole team was playing crap. Morelos gets frustrated when not scoring, that's his only issues.

Fans on here need get real, who else out there will score you 30-40 goals, why are we so keen on getting rid of our biggest asset when now is not the time to sell at knock down prices.

Saying too much of a risk incase he throws the dummy, is taking in Dykes any less risk. We know Morelos can score for us, do we know anyone else can.

We were still too good for players that actually banged in goals in the SPFL like moult, higdon etc years ago. Why would we be in a place now where a player with a ratio of 1 in 3 is a starter? Just a big lump of a centre forward. Let him go to England, he might forge a decent career in league one.

Some of you still harping on about Morelos wanting to jump ship. The lad stated clearly at the start of his Rangers career that his dream was to play in the EPL. He has been with us for nearly 3 seasons, I would hardly call that jumping ship. GET OF THE GUY'S BACK FOR F@CK SAKE.

To be honest don't think he threw the toys out the pram he was getting a lot of greef from then media on and off the pitch, he had a guy under his car all while his wife was pregnant and mother back home was sick the boys head was probably all over the place, no wonder he piled a few pounds on and didn't look up for it.

Bob, Andy Carroll only on a pay as you play basis Steven Fletcher not for me.

I know Fletcher isn't everyone's cup of tea but I think he'd score goals for us up here.

Get the cheque book out and sign Morelos on a great deal to keep him for at least two more years. Why not keep Kamberi and give him a try too and Defoe is worth another season or two in Scotland even as super-sub. I don't like the thought of Dykes, Cosgrove or Shankland though the last-named could be good back-up to the main strikers. Thing is, big-money transfers may be put on ice for quite some time because of the C.V. so perhaps all teams have to cut their cloth. For me, Morelos, Defoe, Kamberi and Shankland wouldn't be a bad strike force.

DOIGER you make some good points mate but for different styled games within the scottish league, i really do think we need a completely different style of striker to be signed. How about morelos (if he stays), Defoe, dykes, shankland/ taylor?
