sign a striker now

[Madbadteacher]

Yeah

 

Scott and Robb these days would still be better than Vernon and Fallon

[Reekie_Red]

Fallon is capable of scoring match-winners out of nothing. But he's not a striker who should be playing week-in week-out ... simply doesn't have it in him to score regularly.

 

I'd be keen on Faddy playing, even for a season. He's completely different to Vernon, and he's a bigger and much more physical player than what I've seen on McGinn

[Madbadteacher]

To think we've had, in the past, Harper, Jarvie, Scott, Robb, Pirie, Gilhaus, Frunkie, Duncan, Winchester, CharlieNick, Booth, Black, Hewitt, McGhee, 

 

Fuck, just looking at some stats and, since 1960 our most2 prolific forward is? (allowing at least 100 games)

 

Outwith 100 it's obviously Frunkie, at 0.64 per game.

 

Oh what we'd give for a "lazy fat bastard that just poached" these days

[maverick sheep]

I'm not convinced by fallon at all, but I do think he deserves a run ahead of vernon at the moment. Maybe give vernon today and if he's still a passenger then bench him for a bit.

 

i wish i could even imagine mcfadden being a possibility.

You forgot Shearer and Stavrum. Most consistent strikers we've had in the past two decades. Two decades? FFS, wthe last prolific striker we had was twelve years ago!
