Was never all for him but seen people on twitter mentioning 150k at that price I’d sign him tbh
Think we need four strikers when Gerrard is married to one up front?
I’m sorry to break this to you but the only way we are getting a top quality striker in the “Morelos” Mould is If he leavesPersonally, if Morelos is out, Defoe or Kamberi are in no way capable of leading for any period of time. We’d need another striker in the Morelos mould
We’d be going completely against what Ross Wilson state’s two weeks ago by going backwards.Quality over quantity
No more squad fillers

That we made this mistake last summer and have surely learned, leads me to think this is just paper talk

I'm not trying to take anything away from his loan spell, I thought he was decent in parts as well - I just thought that maybe we were remembering him as a bit better than he was. In terms of "third choice" striker that someone that could operate out wide then for £150k then it's a bargain and I said that earlier in the thread.We get a bit hung up on stats sometimes.
He had an impact in both games against Braga, especially the first leg off the bench. His pace, movement and energy created all sorts of problems.
You've mentioned the St Johnstone game. Just before that game, he was praised for his performance off the bench against Livingston.
With limited minutes over 9 appearances, many wanted him to start games for us very quickly. I think he done ok overall, and as I say, if the price is genuinely that low, I believe he's worth it.
Again as I've said earlier, in terms of doing a job and operating in more than one position in the final third then for £150k it's would be a good deal.Not really.
Morelos being injured or more likely suspended means that we’d miss a physical presence if we had to depend on Defoe. Kamberi is strong, fast and knows the league - a bit more talented than he’s given credit for as well.
Anyone expecting wholesale changes to the starting XI outside of Hagi is going to be disappointed.

My problem with it is if the window closed tomorrow and we went into the season with Morelos, Defoe and Kamberi as the options up front then I'd be concerned.
I don't expect any wholesale changes to the starting 11 either for that matter but if we want to challenge for the title and not whimper out after the winter break then we need some solid investment this summer - I've said on another threads we need 3-4 to be coming into the starting 11.
Doubt we’ll get much better for a 3rd striker tbhDoesn’t matter if it’ a free do people honestly want him as our 3rd striker???

I totally get what you are saying and it's true - my opinion on what we need and what we have in the bank to spend are two different conversations, even more so given the current global circumstances.I honestly believe the only way we could afford to sign 3 or 4 players better than what we have in our current first eleven would be by getting big money for at least 2 of our current squad. With nothing happening that way so far, it's hard to see us having the cash.
Hopefully I'm wrong.

Third striker or not, he’s still a Hibs level striker.
Every signing we make should be either Rangers quality or have the potential to make that level. Why not take a punt on a younger player who has a higher ceiling?
We know what we’re going to get with Kamberi. An average SPFL player. We aren’t winning any leagues with players like him.
You do know that of the 6 league games he played in his short tenure he was directly involved in 3 of the 5 goals we scored which won 4 of the 8 points we got in those 6 games.We’d better or we can forget winning the league.
Do you think a strikeforce of Morelos/Defoe/Kamberi would be good enough to win the silverware this season?So just because he previously played with Hibs, that makes him a Hibs-level striker?
Nonsense quotes like ‘we aren’t winning any leagues with players like him’ make you want to rip your eyes out - as a third choice, tell me realistically who is better?
The snobbery around domestic signings is brain-dead.
See when I criticise Gerrard and about 100 people hit out with the ‘whose your replacement for him then?’ line - can I ask people who are saying no to Kamberi for £150,000 what level of player/cost they’re looking at for our third striker?

No one would turn Kamberi away for £150k but I think most of us recognise that we have a big squad as it is and if we are going to bring in a striker than it needs to be someone to challenge for the starting berth.
If the dead rubbers like Jones, Barker etc moved on then you can justify it, but these guys are going to be difficult to move on as well.
What level of player are you looking at as a third choice striker then, do tell?
Hibs need to reduce their wage bill. they should be easy to deal with
I admire your optimism.If we get a bit of luck with form, fitness and suspensions then I literally can’t see any reason why those three wouldn’t be enough.
One of the best young strikers about, en experienced ex-England international who 100 plus goals at the top level and a strong, fast striker who knows the league and already knows the squad - I’m struggling to think of a scenario where our three strikers are more nicely rounded than that.
Defoe
Gerrard’s not going to drop one of his mates further down the pecking order, let‘s be realistic.
It's not about mates, it's about what's best for Rangers.
Gerrard has to deliver this season.
No. He should be third choice next yearThat would be Jermain Defoe?
I’m not looking for a third choice. I’m just wanting some of good quality to compete with Morelos and offer something different as second choice.See when I criticise Gerrard and about 100 people hit out with the ‘whose your replacement for him then?’ line - can I ask people who are saying no to Kamberi for £150,000 what level of player/cost they’re looking at for our third striker?
Based on what? His goal scoring record is ridiculous, especially as he comes off the bench most weeks.No. He should be third choice next year

I don’t think we’ll go into next season with Defoe as second choice.We both know while Morelos and Defoe are here, the only slot open is third choice.
And with that in mind, £150,000 for Kamberi is the favourite for that slot.
We should be going after Boyle then before the poets nip him.
Based on us only being able to play one style with him. How many goals has he actually scored that puts us ahead?Based on what? His goal scoring record is ridiculous, especially as he comes off the bench most weeks.
Not very many im assuming as he's usually a substitute? Why does that matter? He's scored 13 goals in 20 league matches, what more do people want from a backup striker?Based on us only being able to play one style with him. How many goals has he actually scored that puts us ahead?
