Folk on here condoning the signing of Kamberi but not Dykes....
One has 3x the goals than the other this season.
I’ll let you figure it out.

Then why does he play for Livingston? Is it just Bad luck coupled with poor career choices or might it just be the guy is an extremely limited footballer who is simply capable of putting himself about a bit.
That’s his value doubled should we try to sign him
Nothing.
Liam Boyce and Eamon Brophy caused Katić problems.
Kamberi was available that day, to come on loan.
Do you honestly believe Livingston would have loaned us Dykes or let him go for a pittance?
And if Gerrard didn't rate Dykes, why was his name even mentioned?
What a stupid comment.
Dykes isn’t anywhere near Morelos’ level. Not even close.
Well that'll be a lie if it came from one of themMhank in my work says we tried to get him in January but couldnt afford him.
Sorry but this is a very blinkered way of looking at player recruitment. Footballers (particularly ones who haven't graduated through an academy) progress at different rates.
Look at the player we got in Glen Kamara for £50k from Dundee.
Same could be asked why Glenn Kamara was playing for Dundee.
People on here complain about lack of options and no plan B. Dykes would certainly give us a different option.
Wouldn't believe that until he showed me the whatsapp conversation to see with my own eyes.Mhank in my work says we tried to get him in January but couldnt afford him.
It doesn't though in the case of Hagi and Vydra had it happened, we could have bought them had it worked out and if it didn't we would have continued scouting for long term options.
Anyway, the striker isn't the issue when we struggle against the low block, it's the midfield so the argument for Dykes is flawed to begin with
What a stupid comment. He's 24, players have to start somewhere FFSThen why does he play for Livingston? Is it just Bad luck coupled with poor career choices or might it just be the guy is an extremely limited footballer who is simply capable of putting himself about a bit.
Or took a few thousand off his ownHe's not a bad player who could be bought on the cheap however Katic prob just added a few thousand onto the price

Why was Kamara playing for Dundee? Why was Alfie in Finland and available for such a low fee?
There are plenty of good players who haven’t made a move to a big club yet for various reasons. I wouldn’t be surprised if he goes toEngland next season. I think he would have been a good investment for us in the winter.
Morelos has scored 29 goals this season alone and is a full Columbia international .
How many has Dykes scored ?
This is getting bonkers .
Aye because that's how football works!If Gerrard rated Dykes he'd be at Rangers trust me.
How can you make this a point Dykes has never played in Europe, you can really only judge them on the league and cups goals.
Morelos has done better but not surprising he's in a stronger team with better players.
Not saying Dykes the answer to our problems but we cannot just discount every player as he's not at a fancied club.
Yeah ,already referenced Kamara as to why we should never turn our nose up at lesser clubs players if they show the potential to play at a much higher level. Kamara was an established international while at Dundee with very obvious qualities. Dykes imo (for what it's worth) hasn't shown anything that suggests to me he could make the same step up. I see another o'halloran in the making. Only an opinion but there you are.
Yes if a long high ball is bombed down at him we dont do that.Dykes is much better than many on here seem to think

Aye... He's p!shNaw.
Why would I value the opinion of a guy who has actually played against Dykes when I can listen to people on a message board who judge him on the club he plays for?
Dykes isn’t good enough. We need two quality strikers in the summer (one if Alfie stays although extremely unlikely). There is no Kamara, Christie,McGinn currently in the league, none who’d improve us. (Bar pre injury Turnbull)Walter always used to pick up the best players in Scotland he thought could do a job for us.
I think we have allowed Celtic to snap up the best players here for too long. We have no right to be snobbish about players, we are close to a decade now without winning anything.
I read an article about Salzburg’s recruitment and it’s frightening how detailed and the planning that goes into it. As you say that boy will replace Haaland, but it said in the article they already have Zaka’s Replacement on their books. Once we start selling players I doubt our budgets will be much different, no reason why we can’t try and emulate what Salzburg do.Bang on.
Patson Zaka will be that player, who they signed from Africa for nothing but will sell for +£20m.
Luckily we have Ross Wilson in charge now, and I fully trust him with recruitment. Someone who casts his net out far and wide.
Would love for that Guirassy. When explained to me his in depth numbers look really good. We need a pair of two top quality strikers to replace AlfieI'm just going to use two guys we've been linked with as an example:
When Morelos leaves, Rangers should sign a pairing like Guirassy and Marić. We shouldn't sign one of them and then say "Defoe is second choice, let's get Dykes to sit in the stand"
We will never grow as a club with such unambitious recruitment
Aye because that's how football works!
When is Tyrese Campbell signing?

Pretty sure they would pay alot more attention to him if he was sporting a Rangers strip, see Ryan Jack for an example.Dykes is the physical type mould player we need against the Scottish dross, has quite a good habit of big goals and doesn't attract much attention from the refs
