It’s when things were going badly for him that he needed his buddy.From July to December last year was his best spell for us by a mile, after Candeias left.

They'll know exactly what he's up to. Jelavic threatened to go on strike to force a move to us, didn't change our view on him.I don’t think they’d base it on one game, or even a few games recently, he’s shown what he is capable of over a far longer period, but we need it done soon.
Mate come on you cant honestly think Stewart is good enough to be on the bench, nevetr mind be counted as a st for us.So you want to buy another player for centre forward when we have Itten, Roofe, Defoe and Stewart?
Don't you think the money should be spent elsewhere?
As fourth choice he is fine. I honestly don't understand where people think the money is coming from?Mate come on you cant honestly think Stewart is good enough to be on the bench, nevetr mind be counted as a st for us.
If AM leaves, we need another st.
He is nowhere near good enough to be on the bench, mindblowing any fan can watch him and say he is fine as evan a back up.As fourth choice he is fine. I honestly don't understand where people think the money is coming from?
Alfredo sale covers 2 that are in plus a midfielder.
What has anyone done in 2020? (Not counting friendlies obviously).Thanks to last year's form. What's he done in 2020?

Who is going to sign to sit on the bench for over 3/4 of the season?He is nowhere near good enough to be on the bench, mindblowing any fan can watch him and say he is fine as evan a back up.
Stewart, lol.So you want to buy another player for centre forward when we have Itten, Roofe, Defoe and Stewart?

Your at itHe needs to stay and win us 55. Unless its 25million and at least 20% sell on he stays. We can't let him leave for anything less.
I've felt similar apart from Negri didn't pick up the following season and give us another good half season. Morelos has seemed to be a half season wonder, apart from the fact that he's not picked up again this season, similar to Negri.Last night I was thinking Deja vu with Marco negri, when hes in the groove hes top notch but his lack maturity is a real weakness. Maybe im being too harsh given the crap hes had to put up with in Scotland, but he needs to learn to keep the head and focus on his game.
I think we'll sign another project player who can play all accross the front line.Roofe can play along a front 3 but has been his most prolific for Leeds when played through the middle so he is a centre forward.
As is Itten, as is Defoe. I’d be surprised if we bought another striker.
A more creative central midfielder is definitely our priority now. Sadly Davis isn’t the player he was and Jack is good, but not quite good enough
Am I saying he is first choice?Stewart, lol.
He had his Forrester moment last night. Horrendous decision making from a poor player.
So now Davis is being unprofessional and losing interest cuz he thinks Gerard likes Alfie more than him. Ha. Brilliant. For the record I don’t think Davis is such a big girls blouse.I think you may just have hit on the reason why our form collapsed after our winter break. Davis in particular seemed to lose interest. Could it be down to the special treatment Alfie seemed to get from our management team?
Just a thought. That is all.
Great analogy that explains the emotional outbursts. The jilted bird. Nice one.I expect so.
Also the same ones who thought it was magic when Kent downed tools at Liverpool to get a move here, and when Alfie's agent was replying to them on twitter before he came here.
It's also the typical FF reaction when someone is leaving - jilted burd - wait for "he'll never find a set of fans who love him as much as us"
Fantasy land stuff.Not convinced his move will happen after last night.
If you were Lille watching that and seeing his condition you’d be seriously unimpressed.
1 more in the “not lost their mind” camp. Good to see. Reasoned opinions for the win.Based solely on recent form you would be right. But based on the last 2 years you wouldn’t. They will just assumed he has downed tools to force through a move.
No idea if he has or not but he certainly wouldn’t be the first and won’t be the last to do it. It’s pretty common these days.
Yes, literally dozens of stark raving lunatics in our support think this. Wonder if they go through their life and their job making knee jerk reactions on the most recent incident only.Do people honestly think clubs like Lille scout a player for months and then say no because of one bad game, especially in these current surreal circumstances?
Come on, that’s laughable.
Any idea of ‘they’ll not want him after last bight’ is genuinely ridiculous.
Genuine question:
Has any Rangers player in the past shown such patchy form over the course of his time with the club, allowed to make multiple mistakes both on and off the pitch, had clubs take absolutely no interest in him and still be regarded by vast swathes of the support as being indispensable towards success, despite being part of successive failures in the past?

Nope. It genuinely baffles me how some of our fans treat like him some sort of God.
Truth is he’s been very good for £1m. But he’s also let us down in countless big games with nonsense red cards and suspensions.
Throw in he has been part of teams that haven’t won a trophy, hasn’t scored against Celtic and with the countless sitters he’s missed against them, had a big hand in costing us the league cup final as well.
I won’t be bothered when he goes. Good player when he fancies it but not even in the same league as some of our previous strikers that left us such as Jelavic.
IMO Morelos going will actually help us given the new guys we’ve brought in.
At first I thought the unconditional adulation was from wee guys under 18 who have only really seen us properly when we were lingering in the lower leagues and seeing guys like Kyle and Sandaza. But surprisingly a lot of the folk refusing to criticise Morelos for anything are grown men.
I think there's an massive elephant in the room that rarely gets addressed when people talk about Morelos needing to be at the club for us to win the title: hasn't he been our striker for the last three barren seasons, in which we've won nothing at all? What's going to change this time around?
I'm constantly reminded of that quote, "Unhappy the land in need of heroes." We needed a hero. Morelos didn't quite fit that mould for us but people were happy to pretend that he did.
By the way, the reference to Jelavic is interesting: he played for us for literally a year (only 56 times in total) and didn't really get to play in Europe but got a move to a bigger team than Lille, in a far superior league, on the back of one good season. Interesting that Morelos is now into season four with the club and still hasn't left.
Morelos' lasting legacy at Rangers will be difficult to assess, I'd say. If we go onto win things this year you could say it was comparable with some of the efforts of guys like Miller and Waghorn in taking us up a level.
Absolutely. Davis is a mature man and a professional. Last night it looked like he was toiling in the heat but also their one touch stuff would have a lot teams chasing shadows.So now Davis is being unprofessional and losing interest cuz he thinks Gerard likes Alfie more than him. Ha. Brilliant. For the record I don’t think Davis is such a big girls blouse.
Slightly tongue in cheek but Shearer was a player and didnt win anything at Newcastle. OK, more excellent sides in England but for 2-3 seasons they couldnt get across the line in any comp whilst being right up thereI think there's an massive elephant in the room that rarely gets addressed when people talk about Morelos needing to be at the club for us to win the title: hasn't he been our striker for the last three barren seasons, in which we've won nothing at all?

Shearer won the league at Blackburn though.Slightly tongue in cheek but Shearer was a player and didnt win anything at Newcastle. OK, more excellent sides in England but for 2-3 seasons they couldnt get across the line in any comp whilst being right up there
Almost as bad as it has been anyway? Ha haI know scouting players isn’t based on one game but if our team were linked with him and we watched last nights game could you imagine this place
I think that loss of perspective swings both ways as shown by the panty wetters last night.I think people lose a bit of perspective judging him because he's been one of the few shining lights in a dark period for the club. People claiming he's our most complete striker since Hateley and better than Ronald De Boer, etc is just ludicrous. I think people are so desperate for success that they exaggerate his abilities and make wild comparisons to players pre-2012 who actually achieved things with us without taking into account the quality of opposition compared to those days and the quality of Rangers teams.
It's unfair on him because whatever else has happened he's been tremendous value.
Throwing around ridiculous assertions isn’t only for those acting the jilted ex to Morelos.Is that what you gleaned from my post?
More straw man arguments. Only 1 misguided poster saying he should stay for 55. The majority, questioning the OTT criticism of him tend to agree he should go and his sale has and will allow us to strengthen the squad.I think there's an massive elephant in the room that rarely gets addressed when people talk about Morelos needing to be at the club for us to win the title: hasn't he been our striker for the last three barren seasons, in which we've won nothing at all?

Morelos will have an excellent legacy to the majority of the support, surprised some are even questioning that.
Fair enough.To be fair I've not read this entire thread or looking at the match thread but as little as four, five weeks ago there was a significant number of fans on here stating that winning the title was impossible without him upfront. Surely that opinion must still hold since a single, one-off game doesn't change anything.
