i do like english fitba"! not as much as folk think its the ugs baws or anything but i do watch it here and there,the irish team again dont follow them as much as i do scotland! there a wee hint, but i do look at the eire team ! just never heard of him. so if im being arrogant with this? then excuse me for my ignorance.

 

Wonder if he signs stuff Mr.Sh. Long

 

Your not being ignorant
Did you see Reading when they were in the premiership?
Thats when he kinda started to cement his place in the team but just recently has he been scoring a lot.
His record isnt the best but he has been hitting form recently... I think his record is something like 160 games and 35 goals? for reading and 17 games for ireland and 5 goals for them... He's 5 foot 11 and single handedly ruined Stephen Elliots international career He got in ahead of him because elliot was injured and i havent seen him since

 

we would need to get rid of some forwsrds, murphy maybe.

 

Rassmussen doesnt plan on leaving though

 

:icon_mrgreen: ill keep a wee eye on him startin from this weekend then lool

 

He'd be a great signing in my opinion, always impresses when he plays for Ireland and he's doing the business at Reading.

 

Might watch him myself..Reading v Watford...should be a good game

 

Is that not a wee bit harsh on Stokes, I thought he was our top goal scorer so far this season????

 

Would love this to be true, qaulity player.

 

True but Long is a better playing imo and he gets more games for ireland than Stokesy and if Hooper played the same amount of games as Stokes im sure he would have scored the same amount or more

 

To be honest, never really seen him play, does he get a regular game there? Or is he a bit of a bench warmer?

 

He definetely gets regular game time at Reading.

By the way does anyone know if he's a Celtic fan because that could be used to our advantage if we choose to go for him (which I hope we do)

 

He's got a very average, maybe poor, scoring record. As he plays in England he'll probably want a good wage. Cant say I'd make that much of a play for him tbh.

Overall yes. But if you consider that most of his goals have been scored very recently then he becomes an all together different prospect. Stats don't tell you everything.

 

Maybe so but he has a fair way to go to prove he is a goalscorer. He is still only averaging 1 in 3 this season. In a poor standard of league as well. However, he may be better in a better team. He would get more chances with us. It would largely depend on his wages if he was worth signing imo.

 

I agree with you in some respects but I disagree that it is a poor standard league. Regardless what you think of the league I think that ours is very similar in level. I do agree however that they are a mid table team and with us he would definitely get more chances. It's down to whether he wants to play in the Premiership(money) or he wants to play for Celtic.

 

Would love him, especially on a free. If we could get Westward on a free too, that would leave Lenny just a centre back to locate, assuming we hold on to the current players he wants. Maybe hold on to Sammy, punt Murphy, Rassa, Loovens & Hooiveld?

 

Could be a good signing for us, hes well better Han Murphy anyway, miles better.even better of he's free but his wages cold be high.

 

You have to take into account that most of those appearance were from the bench when he was behind kevin doyle. Doyle left last year and since he broke into the team he has scored nearly 30 goals since.Not a bad wee player but I prefer Stokes.
