On that basis, richarlison had 8 under 20 caps and no senior appearances, morelos has 6 under 20 caps and 3 full caps. Richarlison had never played in Europe before and morelos has played over a hundred games in Europe. There should be no issue with an appeal.Under appeal, the FA took his under 21 caps into consideration. Brazil are a top 10 country (usually top 3).
Alfredo would fail to qualify and it would need to be appealed. Things like level of English and his time in Europe would be brought up.
It would all be down to the appeal.
Just saying it doesnt make it so.
Show your working.
I would assume that Gerrard and Allen have a list of 4-5 players that we could go for immediately to replace Morelos. We’d be fools if we didn’t. They would hopefully be players that we would be fairly confident of landing.
We have proven that our entire team is no longer dependent on Morelos. With a functional midfield at long last and clever wing play then we can spread the goals around.
But.
Our Morelos replacement will be a step down unless we are very lucky. If Frankfurt spend £15-20mill (the absolute minimum I would accept) then we are not buying a £15-20mill rated striker. We’re just not. They don’t come to Scotland. We are also not buying an up and coming player who’ll do as well as Morelos. Morelos is an up and coming player! He’s only 22! He is genuinely a bit of a phenomenon. The chances of us being lucky enough to get a rising global global star twice in a row are pretty low.
We will get a £5-10mill pound player who will not be as good as Alfie. It is inevitable. If there was a £5–10mill player better than him then Frankfurt would be buying that player. That guy will come in and will lead our line well, sharing the burden with the 5th best striker ever in the EPL. It’s not a bad position to be in. He will have all my backing.
But I would be willing to bet that several of Alfie’s boo boys on here (or at least the ones who do actually support Rangers) will bevon the new guys’ back before too long because he’s not scoring a goal every 25 minutes of game time....
Edit: it will also be disappointing that, for all the good work out recruitment have done in the close season, our fromt 3 would go from Kent, Morelos, Candeias to Jones, new guy, Ojo. Only Ojo will be an upgrade.
Perhaps because that was the role he was asked to play? Think he has far more in his locker than battering ram
So 110 mill? That will do nicely!Eintracht Frankfurt sent scouts to St Joseph’s match and are preparing a big money offer according to papers tomorrow.
They have just sold Haller to West Ham (£45m) and Jovic to Madrid (£65m).
Yeah. Fair point. I love the wee guy.A phenomenon. Steady, ffs.
Alfie cost £1m.
Don't be greedy, accept half.So 110 mill? That will do nicely!
I know mate. I’ve followed the club for 50
Years.
I don’t understand what you mean ?
I don’t buy the idea that Morelos was a once in a generation type trick never to be repeated.
I’m not saying it’s easy to pick up players of his quality for next to nothing, but the idea is to buy low and sell high then reinvest greater increments that should, law of averages would suggest, deliver better quality players.
e.g. £1m for Morelos, sold for circa £18m.
We then have say £5m to look for players in a higher bracket than Alfie was initially.
This is our model and applied well it should work.
Should, mind you.
I’m not at all fearful of losing him, but I still hope he stays.
Its my opinion and I'm entitled to it.No he didn't this is a load of shite I wish folk would stop claiming this drivel.
I don't think he went in a huff at all. I think a lot of people jumped on the bandwagon as usually happens in these situations.Its my opinion and I'm entitled to it.
I watch him wekk in and week out and was was in a huff.
He hardly contributed.
There were threads wondering how he would be when Pre season started so your opinion differs from many others

I think he’d prefer the EPL or La Liga

He can’t be replaced IMO
We need silly money and over £25m
We keep and we win the league. In him and Defoe we have 2 top strikers.
You have a sh*te opinion.
How can someone’s own opinion be shite ,that’s very dumb .
You’re struggling to accept his opinion so you attack it .
Acceptance is wonderful once you let it in
No way Jones is going to be the first name in a front 3! Jones is a squad player - an Andy Halliday type player - who will always deliver when asked but is never a mainstay in the team.I would assume that Gerrard and Allen have a list of 4-5 players that we could go for immediately to replace Morelos.

So Alfi making heart shapes and pointing to the turf actually means he-haw.
What does this even mean?
His heart shapes are always to his wife in the stand anyway btw.
CL qualifiers in reality. I imagine the prospect of playing week in week out in La Liga or EPL is more enticing to a player. And dont forget the €€€€And if we win the league, he has the opportunity to play in the Champions league.
I took it to mean the heart shapes with his hands meant he loved it at Ibrox,I stand corrected,no harm intended Mview83.

Who?I can guarantee you now that Mr Allen will already be speaking to potential replacements
What form does this guarantee come in?I can guarantee you now that Mr Allen will already be speaking to potential replacements
We don't need them to play together. We do need two different options upfront. Two quality strikers who score goals will always be better than one. Especially since the one definitely staying is only here one more season and is 36.Who can’t play together and one who is targeted and rises to the bait every time
Get him sold for good money
Of course he does, but he plays that way more often than not. Last season we didn’t have any other way until Defoe came into the team and then, suddenly, Arfield, Jack, Davis and Kamara start playing further forward, crisper and more creatively.
It’s not a zero sum game, I won’t be disappointed if Alfie stays but I’d advocate him starting fewer games until such times as he can prove he can operate within a different (and more effective) team dynamic.
No way Jones is going to be the first name in a front 3! Jones is a squad player - an Andy Halliday type player - who will always deliver when asked but is never a mainstay in the team.
Aye 30 goal non penalty taking strikers are 10 a penny for Rangers.
If we're offered that amount it won't matter what I think!
I do think there's far too much emphasis on the last few games of lasr season from some though, they were pretty much dead rubbers for all the teams involved.
Alfie never played in front of Davis, Jack and Kamara.
That’s my point though i’d put him above Halliday on skill. At present, he’s probably our first choice left winger. Murphy is still recovering. Candeias isn’t at his best inverted and is probably for the off. I’d put Jones ahead of Hastie or Stewart on left wing.
If Kent returns or if we sign a left sided inside forward then it changes things. But for now that’s where we are.
Actually, Arfield might well be first choice left inside forward. That might arguably be better than Kent for end product.

Jesus christ what is goin through your head.I know he scored three goals against the fourth best team in Gibraltar in the week *rolls eyes* but did anyone notice how much better we played when he came off? A bit like when he wasn’t in the team at the end of last season.
Add his discipline issues to him being slightly at odds with our best style of play... time for the buffalo to roam.
ExactlyBetween the Morelos and Tav stories this has got Hollicom/Daily Record all over it .
Rangers = negative media
Soapdodgers and the phantom Arsenal/Napoli/Teirney "saga" = positve media .
One would think there's a deflection campaign going on .
