Just wanted to bring up the subject of big Ced. I've always defended the guy simply because of what he's done elsewhere. We saw flashes of what he's capable of.
Question. Is it that he's not good enough for us, which I disagree with, or just not suited to the rough and tumble of the Scottish game?
Thought I'd put it out there chaps.

I always thought he had something about him as well, Parlane.
Unfortunately you are judged by what you do on the park no matter how limited your opportunities are.

I don't think he wants to come back and sit on our bench watching Morelos put in terrible performance after terrible performance and still not get picked. Also he won't goto the world cup because his international manager doesn't rate Scottish football. And to be honest with the dross that's been on show across the board who can blame him for that thought.

Parlane for me not suited to Scottish game. If we get 3 million which is a profit that would be fantastic business.

I’m still undecided mate. I don’t think he has the movement and tactical prowess of Roofe or Alfie or the speed of fashion. He got a few goals and 1 or two important ones.

If we continue to go with a front 3 I don’t see him being in front of what we have already and I think we could get better, with the funds becoming available for Gio.

Not suited to Scottish football in my opinion he is soft for being a big guy.

I like him and don't think he got a fair chance. He has the right attributes to be a success in Scotland and offers an aerial threat our other strikers don't. Think he just needs more aggression. I wouldn't be gutted if he left. Roy Makaay will have plenty of contacts in Germany and should be able to judge if he has what it takes.

Thanks guys. I've always thought there was something there and still think he could do a job, but now I think that boats sailed. Good luck to the lad wherever he ends up .

Sweep are you trying to say itten is better than Alfredo?

No I'm saying he never got the same opportunities or poor performances Morelos has got away with. If Itten never scored with his 30 minute appearance off the bench he got slaughtered. Morelos has been honking all season but a game here and there but seems to get a start anyway. I think if Itten played as many games as Morelos this season he'd have more goals than him at this stage.

Not suited to our style, although gives us options. He played right side of the three against Kilmarnock last year at rugby park and was very affective.

Bad players don't score the amount of goals itten did in Switzerland, or play for a very good Switzerland national team. I agree he didn't get a great deal of chances, but he did look unsuited to the style of scottish football imo. shame as I think he has the potential to be a really good player.

I think he had ample opportunity but did not make his mark. Sakala has shown far more in much less time.

He never got the same because he obviously wasn’t good enough SG always picked Alfredo and so is GVB at the moment. The boy has over 100 goals and 20 odd have been in Europe our record top goals scorer in Europe ever but aye he is honking 😂😂 he was honking against Prague as well eh?

He's been mainly rubbish this season to think otherwise is wrong.

For a big lad he doesn’t put himself about and lacks a burst of pace, just not suited to our game and I don’t expect to see him back in a rangers jersey, suits both parties if option to buy is sealed.

Can we not just say Alfies been a wee bit honkin? 😜.

My personal opinion is that he lacks the fighting qualities to be a success in Scottish Football. In the games he played he was far too easily knocked of the ball by so called Centre Backs. Additionally, for a big guy, he seldom won a ball in the air where it was between him and the defender, he just didn't seem able to use his height and weight to his advantage. More suited to leagues where teams play football!

I think you're right right there Berkshire. Re leagues that play football.
