Silkstone Owl Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Is this like a poo version of Candle in the Wind?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prowl Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 When he came here I hoped for big things. He was scoring for fun in Scotland and we really needed a decent goal scorer. I couldn't have been more optimistic. I thought he was full of energy and had a lot of potential; I still think he will come good but not here. We have changed the way we want to play and he doesn't fit the new system. The new manager doesn't fancy him. It's a shame but that is football. Stevie, if you do go, I wish you all the best for the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BRADDO Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Loan him to a championship club until xmas. If he's pants, get rid. If he does well, extend the loan and look to recoup some of our 800 k outlay at end of season. Either way, with our prem intentions he ain't going to cut it.

Ronio Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 If we do offload, would prefer him go out on loan for a full season to another Championship club, where he will get plenty of games and no doubt play in a more familiar 442. He he then goes on to score 15 plus goals, it would definitely put us in great position come next summer. He needs more games at Championship level. Think he will come good in time, whether it is with us or another club, who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giving him more time to prove himself at Championship level seems to be the only way we'll get our money back or perhaps even turn a profit on him in the long run. It's not as if we urgently need rid of him, so if someone is willing to pay his wages for a year, we've nothing to lose by loaning him out. It would be a shame to give up on him completely.

London Owl Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 one of those that no idea whether good enough but would be gutted if he went, want him to come good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 No club will be prepared to pay £800k and understandably so. He's still got three years on his contract. Wherever his next destination may be, it's better for us if it's a loan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taximark Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 (edited) If we was to get our money back then fair enough but if he could go out on a season long loan to a L1 club, personally this would probably help him more imo, Walsall would be ideal if they lose highly rated Bradshaw.

Guest GlasgowSaint Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Not strong enough ... Simple as. Shows the gulf between SPL and English lower leagues. Not Stuart Grays signing also. Does it? Plenty of successful Championship strikers didn't cut it in the SPL. Darryl Murphy was utterly horrendous for Celtic. Scored about 3 in a season. Does that mean the SPL is better than the championship because Murphy hit 25+ goals there? Of course not because that sort of logic is just overly simple and to be frank, overly stupid. Lets just say the Championship is overhyped and Scottish football is underhyped. The truth is always somewhere in between. Stevie May will come good. He played up top for a team that created very few chances. He still scored 8 and was unlucky a few times. He'd easily hit 12-15 goals for someone. Is that good enough? Maybe. One thing I'd say about May is when his confidence is high he's an instinctive finisher. He's never had a bad scoring spell before and he'll learn from it. The fact is, he's only young and had plenty of time to succeed. Loan him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest GlasgowSaint Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 And if you think you're getting a good signing in Hooper good luck to you. Lazy bugger who spends most of the game offside and needs 5 or 6 chances a game to score. Ask any Celtic fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loan him. instinctive finishers can generally hit a ball quite cleanly and score one on ones. Stevie proved last year he couldn't either with any consistency. He needs to work very hard if he's going to make it anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue and white Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 He needs loaning out to a championship club who will cover most of his wages,we can them sit back and see if he can cut it at this level or if he punching above his weight, it's risk free and if it works out we can welcome him back to the club or it will have put him in the shop window.
