el_jambo74 Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 As above, this guy is the most likely http://en.wikipedia....Farid_El_Alagui Unattached. Former Falkirk player. 6'1. Track record in the Championship. Still hope we go for Lyle Taylor though. I know we have good options up front but to compete with Rangers, we need goalscorers. The more options (in terms of variety) we have the better, if we can keep it within budget. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chrambo Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 if your joke is I miscounted the number of players, I said at least 3. If your point is we can't afford more players, I didn't say they needed to be expensive but the fact is our squad last year was larger than this year's and was entirely affordable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First friendly tonight Ludogorets Razgrad, 7.30. Cheers for that. Lots of youtube videos on him. From those he looks great on set pieces. I suspect that's something RN is looking out for. A dead ball specialist. Someone who can score freekicks, and put in good corners, could be the difference in some tight games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott_jambo Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 If the rumour's true, this is our winner. Didn't realise he was French-born. It's either el Alagui (yes please), Tade (meh), Fortune (no chance) or William Gros (). Or sandaza. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of dead ball free kicks over the wall, and goals from his corners.

And all this,he's a Hibby and would never sign for them Only a few players would genuinely not sign for a rival of the team they supported as a boy. When bills need paid, and a good opportunity arises, most ambitious players would grab it. You can definitely see he has ability. Only seen short clips of him, but certainly strikes a ball well.

Muppetboy Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 lets be honest most of Hartley's were very wayward true mate. Been a while since we have had a player who has a reasonable chance of hitting the target each time a free kick is in range, a la Beckham or Pirlo. I know those types are few amongst the majority of teams, so would be another threat we carry if we unearthed someone capable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
All roads lead to Gorgie Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 I'm old enough to remember Paul Hartley. Bruno Aguiar was pretty decent with free kicks and corners as well.

Think he scored 3 or 4 from dead balls in 05/06 - 06/07. Killie in the league and against Celtic too when he mugged off Boruc by taking it quickly. Those aside, I can't mind much. Good penalty taker too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Killie one was a cracker, opened the scoring fairly late on as well IIRC. (2-0 with Berra getting the second?) Hartley maybe didn't score as many free kicks as others but he saved them for when it mattered. Sent from my GT-I9195 using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
