Get that Sherbet was saying a few weeks ago that Rangers were relying on 2 strikers and one was constantly being rumoured to be leaving whilst the other was a loan near the end of his playing days.

He agreed but unlike Celtic I had to agree with him that if Morelos was sold Rangers would not take months to replace him they would spend the cash quickly not go with Defoe and some young-uns for the season.

Jan would be the same I would think should you sell Morelos (don't see it mid-season) Rangers would have to move fast.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
If we are on the ball we should already be speaking to clubs and agents about strikers, we are 100% gonna need one no ifs no buts so should already be a top priority i think

He lets things happen like snatch at chances and blast it over

Eddy has improved his link up and hold up play, some of the interchanges between him Ntcham / Forrest / Christie etc have been breathtaking

Imagine this in Scotland.

We’d have the season cancelled.

Sherbet I know its old ground and we all bore a bit talking about it, but I honestly think for Rangers the transfer window in Jan will depend on the final bill for Fat Mike coupled with if the league is tight they wont entertain bids for Morelos.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
With us there are so many unknowns behind the scene. We can all chip in with opinions but none of really know. I think our saving grace with Morelos is the work permit situation. He has made it no secret he is desperate to play in the EPL which is stupid i think he would be far more effective in Spain. But as things stand im not sure if he would pass the appeal process for a work permit in england?

He wants the money, fame and prestige of playing in the EPL though.

From memory, you had a lengthy debate with me telling me he would get one no bother?! Could be wrong.

I didnt say he wouldnt get one no bother Im sure i said i think he could get one under appeal but since he has been missing from the last 6 or so games for Colombia that would affect his appeal process quite highly. As Colombia are very highly ranked he only needs to play in something like 10% of his last so many games and missing out on the squad since he was dropped it affects it highly.

he would only need to appear 2 twice in the last 20 games or so for Colombia but he has only played once. One more appearance would change that for him as far as im aware?

Sherbet that's where his agent should be advising him. If the permit is going to be hard to get in England and Caps hard to get whilst playing in Scotland then Germany or Spain etc... might be a stepping stone if he is so adamant with regards the EPL.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I just think his style of play would suit him best in Spain. In the EPL the defender will have dealt with players like him every day. Not so much so in Spain and I think he would get far more joy and success in Spain.

What do I know though !!!

It is such a shame that these players only stay for a while but he can go with upmost welcome (couple of seasons please......) Hes a cool customer he seems happy and relaxed here and is very young still.

Honestly still cant get the argument from some quarters comparing him to Morelos (Who is an excellent finisher btw) just not on Eddys level with calmness and composure at the right times in the BIG games.

I would like to think we can start getting game time to Oko-Flex, Dembele, Afolabi due to the amount of matches we play. Get next one off the conveyor belt and re-invest the cash we get. (Pete will have a decent sell on clause also surely)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Morelos finishing is a weird one I dont think he is the same level of finisher as edouard. He doesnt have his composure, the are polar opposites if edoard goes through and has options for how to finish it and time his decision making is far far higher than morelos.

However Morelos appetite, hunger and desire and freakish strength and surprising acceleration for someone his build is excellent. Im telling you mould the two together and you have one of the best strikers ever!

Morelos heading ability is shocking yet he has scored some amount with his nut. he has that instinct of being in the right place.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Morelos is like Griffiths. Great finisher but just not what the top clubs are after these days

but your timmy so take that as you will.

Edouard is a finisher, Morelos IMO isnt a clinical finsher at all, its one of the areas i think he needs to improve on

Least he has not had any red cards yet this season...

I think it's fair to say Morelos would be ideal for a team at the lower end of the PL.

Palace or someone of that ilk. He could easily replace Benteke like a younger version with less ability in the air and more on the ground, better at holding up etc.

Edouard is a superior talent but would struggle at a lower side where he would be expected to do a bit more on his own and suits an attacking side.

It’s apparently snidey when it’s done to him though, and the reason why he behaves the way he has been.

Can’t have it both ways.

he would only need to appear 2 twice in the last 20 games or so for Colombia but he has only played once. One more appearance would change that for him as far as im aware?

----

From the FA Handbook, the percentages are:

• for National Associations ranked between 1 and 10 of the Aggregated FIFA World
Rankings, 30% and above;
• for National Associations ranked between 11 and 20 of the Aggregated FIFA World
Rankings, 45% and above;
• for National Associations ranked between 21 and 30 of the Aggregated FIFA World
Rankings, 60% and above; and
• for National Associations ranked between 31 and 50 of the Aggregated FIFA World
Rankings, 75% and above.

This is for competitive games in the last 24 months only. Friendlies don't count.

Colombia are currently ranked 12th.

ahh then its changed since I last looked at it I thought it was 10% of the top 10 teams and Colombia are ranked 8th?

So if he makes an appearance in the next two games for them he should pass an appeal.

comment by U*** (U21919)

However a further appeal can be made to gain one where i think he might actually pass. You need four points from the following:

Objective Criteria

The Objective criteria are split further into two parts as demonstrated in the tables below. Players need 4 or more points from Part A or 5 or more from Parts A and B together. The panel will not duplicate points across Part A and B and granting endorsement is always subject to the panel’s discretion even if points are met.

PART A CRITERIA POINTS AVAILABLE
Transfer fee being paid for the player is above the 75th percentile of all Premier League transfers in the previous season 3 points
Transfer fee being paid for the player is between 50th and 75th percentile of all Premier League transfers in the previous season 2 points
The wages being paid to the player are above the 75th percentile of the top 30 earners at each Premier League club in the previous season 3 points
The wages being paid to the player are between the 50th and 75th percentile of the top 30 earners at each Premier League club in the previous season 2 points
The player is being purchased from a club in one of the Top Leagues and the player has played at least 30% of the available minutes in that league. 1 point
Prior to the application the player’s club has featured in the group stages of the Champions League, Europa League or Copa Libertadores de America in the last 12 months and the player has featured in 30% of the available minutes 1 point


PART B CRITERIA POINTS AVAILABLE
Transfer fee being paid for the player is within 20% of the 50th percentile of all Premier League transfers in the previous season 1 point
A free transfer, but a virtual transfer value ascribed by the Exceptions Panel that is within 20% of the 50th percentile of all Premier League transfers in the previous season 1 point
The wages being paid to the player are within 20% of the 50th percentile of the top 30 earners at each Premier League club in the previous season 1 point
The player is being purchased from a Secondary League club and the player has played in 30% of the minutes played by the club 1 point
The player’s current club has played in the final qualification rounds of the Champions League, Europa League or Copa Libertadores within 12 months prior to the application, with the player featuring in 30% of the minutes played by the club 1 point
The player participated in a prescribed lower percentage (Secondary Percentage) of competitive international matches within the previous 24-month period; or the player’s international side was a semi-finalist in the Asian Cup, or African Cup of Nations in the 12 months preceding the application. If this was the case, but the nation held an average ranking outside of the top 60 during the 24-month period, then the player must have participated in 75% of the matches during that reference period. 1 point


He has 2 points from that list already so dependant on wages and fee paid he could get the 4 points fairly easily.

So essentially what I wrote previous in regards to international games almost void.

Morelos like Griffiths is just too small to be considered for a big club.

They like thier strikers 6ft tall and to be able to hold up the ball.

I cant see Morelos ever leaving rangers as he just wont get the move he expects.
