    Edouard is far better and two years younger. You just have to watch the two of them play to see Eddy is a level above .
    Edouard gets the goals and assists in all types of games, and his contribution to the team is huge.
    Morelos gets the goals in the easy games. No assists , no all round contribution , no Hampden goals, no derby goals. Just a poacher against the cannon fodder.

    Obviously Edouard is better but Morelos has also scored a * load in Europe.

    Morelos has proven himself as a very good striker let's not kid ourselves. There'd be no title race without him.

    Don't think so, word is Fat Mike will be taking him to Newcastle-and there wont be any coin going North of the border, just a cloth to clean a slate.

    Depends on your barometer of 'very good'. The highlight on his CV is a goal home and away against the worst Porto side I can personally remember. He has done nothing whatsoever against the only decent defence in Scotland. In fact any time he comes up against McKenna at Aberdeen he either gets sent off, sulks or is *.

    French Eddy is a hunskelper on the regular.

    Pistol Pete must be rubbing his hands!

    I won’t put a valuation on Edouard but if he keeps this up and keeps scoring in the big games he will make us a very tidy profit!

    ideally I want him to sign a new 4 year deal give us this season then next and wish him all the best!

    Bhoy needs to stop scoring for France :giggle1: We'll do very well to hold onto him after the summer.

    Eddy wants to be playing at the Olympics next year. Can't knock that but we need another striker in January to be ready for the qualifiers. Over to you Pete

    I think you set the bar low for “a very good striker.” It doesn’t leave him far to go to be “excellent,” either, by that yardstick

    I’m not convinced yet that they are genuine contenders, & I wouldn’t be for a few months anyway.

    Morelos is a decent striker, but he's completely different in style to Edouard.

    He's built like a wee tank and uses his power to bustle past defenders quite a lot. He tends to go for power and smack shots which means he's scored some goals from difficult angles - maybe catching keepers by surprise - because he shoots early and quite a lot. The other side of that is that he skies a lot of chances as well, or sometimes rushes his shot.
    He has a good record in Europe for them.

    A quick Google shows he's scored against Osijek, Maribor, St Josephs, Midtjylland, Legia Warsaw, Young Boys and Porto in the last two seasons (think that's all of them). He's never scored vs Celtic, obviously.

    Edouard is more technical in style, but still has the pace and power you need to play the lone forward role. He tends to take his time in front of goal and place his shots, but maybe isn't as instinctive as Morelos in terms of making runs into the 6 yard box, he seems to prefer to peel off for a cutback. He may not score as many goals, but he seems to create much more for his team-mates.

    In the last two seasons he's scored against Alashkert, Rosenborg, RB Salzburg, RB Leipzig, Sarajevo & Cluj. He must've scored 5 or 6 goals against Rangers now? As well as in Cup finals.

    Morelos is a horrible wee *, but has been good for them and will get a decent move away at some point, but Edouard is a far better footballer and will go further in the game.

    That would be huge if we could get him on a new deal as that would ensure we get a big transfer fee just like with Tierney when the time comes and he moves on as much as of course I would rather he stayed.

    I'm a bit worried that he's only contracted until 2022. If he doesn't sign a new deal before the summer he'll be off as we wont get his true value in a years time with 1 year left on his deal
