A few on here don t think morelos will be sold - I beg to differ, no way is Defoe coming to rangers to sit in the bench, he could do that at Bournemouth. No way morelos will be left to rot on bench - way too big an asset. I would wager he is already sold and money will be used to strengthen the whole squad.

Or maybe we could have a front 2 of Morelos and Defoe which would put the frighteners up every defense in Scotland - Morelos will fire us to 55 then he can head to the prem and we can cash the cheque.

Well papers are saying Gerrard been told he will not be sold this window.

the 2 of them can play in the same team.

Think Morelos has the legs and hold up play to be the perfect foil for Defoe if Gerrard decides to go with the two of them. Could end up a successful partnership.

He will definitely go at some point but I would imagine we wouldn’t want to build up his value first.
He’s already worth more than ten times what we paid but with another 6 months and potentially 30 odd goals he will be worth a lot more.
Should be keeping him until at least the end of the season.

For me they both have to play, no way either of them are benched, for me Morelos stays, so 2 up top, then the headache of picking midfielders, davis and airfield first on team sheet. give me your preferred formation and starting 11.

Defoe is a more direct target man and Morelos flits about like a panther/ predator - I think the two of them will be great together and going by the respect and applauds Defoe is receiving from all down south he will be the perfect mentor for Morelos.

I am so happy to see Jones and Kamara come to us - Jones will be much better with good players around him and Kamara already looks the part - but he will have to give up his Sky Reporting job?

I don't think he will be sold, Gerrard has stated he wants 3 in every position so the players compete for their places. that's 3 strikers now. 2 right backs, 4 centre halfs (5 if you include mccrorrie) 3 left wingers, 2 right wingers, 2 left backs ( if you include halliday) and i don't even want to try and count midfielders off the top of my head. i'm sure we have the americans that got offered contracts but haven't heard they signed yet. one of them is a right back.

Morelos at some will be sold but not this window.

@true blue defoe a target man? Are u on drugs mate the guy is 5ft7. Lafferty is a target man but sure can see defoe out jumping 6ft2 + Cbs all year long.

He is a penalty box player - so is a target man - you don't have to be 6' whatever to be a target man.

Definition of a target man is a tall striker you can play long balls to with view of winning majority of headers.

Look at it this way was mccoist a target man? no he was a penalty box poacher and defoe is in this mould however hateley was the definition of a target man whom mccoist fed off.

SG has only played 4-3-3, hence my comment on one of them missing out . Only changes to 2 up top when we are chasing the game - as I said no chance either will be sitting in the bench . I predict he will be sold last couple of days of the window and we will bring in another forward who will be happy being a squad player. Morelos value never been so high and SG playing a blinder talking him up and subsequently adding value.

Maradona messi nor cr7 are target men and all played in proper footballing teams. Now hateley, dzeko, carroll and crouch are proper target men. not the greatest scoring records but their for a reason. To be targeted with long balls which they win for the small guy to score with.
Not that hard to understand and even the other mob appear to be desperate for a target man in the mould of hartson or sutton.

Just thought I would put this across

"The term "target man" is often used to describe a particular type of striker whose main role is to win high balls in the air and create chances for other members of the team (not necessarily scoring many goals themselves) . [5] These players are usually tall and physically strong, being adept at heading the ball. "

Rabc that’s got right under your skin eh 😆 even though I agree that Defoe is not a target man I think you’re wrong about target men Morelos for example is a target man he wins the ball holds it up brings others in to play and also scores goals he’s only 5,9 and players like drogba and ibrahimovic big target men have been prolific goal scores at the highest level, I get what you’re saying but the games moved on very few teams play with 2 strikers and even less play with a big target man and a poacher. McCoist and Hateley was 30 odd year ago 😆.
