Famous 1874 Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 Louis Moult hahahahahha no chance. He’s hardly kick a ball the past 4 seasons. Playing in league one too. 0% chance surely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramrod Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 We would be better going with what we have than signing Moult, pure panic merchant stuff considering a joker like him If he ends up here in any shape or form his agent has had our pants down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe we don’t actually have the funds that many of us believe we have Im all for quality over quantity, but we are desperate for bodies, I’d hate to look back at the end of the season and realise we have missed a genuine opportunity to kick on and move away significantly from all of the other non OF teams Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cole Stockton apparently on the verge of a £600K* move from his current League One club after a 25 goal season last year. Which goes to show the quality required in League One strikers (which is why I really hope that Hibs sign McKirdy - he'll make Doidge look like Pele). * according to the papers.

He was a good player that consistently averaged a goal every other game for them for 2.5 years. 15 league goals in his first season, 15 in his second and 8 in his last half-season. My issue is that he's been constantly injured from then until about 6 months ago and isn't getting a game at Burton. Looks like injuries have finished him. Yeah it looks that way He's not the same player he was at Motherwell. He's hardly kicked a ball in 3 seasons. He's nowhere near SPL level now, nevermind Hearts.

HighTimes Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 4 minutes ago, Newton51 said: Port Vale have offered £150,000 for Morecambe striker Cole Stockton, according to reporter and transfer expert Alan Nixon. He reports the Vale’s bid should put them ahead of Fleetwood and Shrewsbury in the race to sign the striker, but still falls well short of Morecambe’s minimum £600,000 valuation. He says ‘Port Vale have made a £150,000 bid for Morecambe striker Cole Stockton in a final effort to land their top target’. Beat me to it!

Not happening IMO at least I hope not. Based on what? What has Henderson done to justify being a regular starter with Boyce out? Moult scored around 30 league goals in 2 seasons with Motherwell. He's had his injury problems but so has Boyce. So did Sow. Others as well we have brought in who were looking to get back on track. Some worked some didn't.

PapaShango Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 It’s a squad game and if he stays fit he could be a decent option for us.

Carter Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 If what we anticipated doing before Boyce got injured still gets done plus Moult then you can understand it. Doesn't replace Boyce on a like for like basis by dropping in and linking the play etc. Would be a bit of a strange one. Options probably fairly limited and time isn't on our side. Expect any incomings to be UK based at this late stage. Failure to replace Souttar just over 24 hours before end of window is really difficult to comprehend.

Did I dream we spent at least half a million on Shankland or is he not decent? Shankland is the #1 striker. IF Moult signs, he will not play every game, far from it. He will be utilised as a squad player, I’d be willing to put my mortgage on that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nelly Terraces Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 Very much hope this is just idle speculation, as getting Moult would be an utter waste of time.

jamtartan74 Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 If we sign Moult then I will trust the coaching staff on this one over the usual moaners on kickback. It’s a forced signing if nothing else due to the weekends injury’s, I would be hoping to sign another forward on top of that one, if he does sign then I hope he shuts all the doom mongers on here up.

Jamboscanbevicius Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 A fit Moult could be a very shrewd signing. But I am not sure that there has been a fit Moult for a few years, and I very much doubt we are the club to break that cycle. I think we would likely be burning budget for very few appearances. Callum P would be immense but unfortunately I doubt that will happen. More likely we end up with a 20 y/o from Everton/Brighton etc on loan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
