Does anyone think we might bring in a free agent striker as cover for shanks? Few on the market; Ings, Vardy, Martial ex man utd.
08 Sep 2026 08:59:07
Not sure we need to with having Naderi, Kelsy and Miovski.
Hardy, I think, has signed for Burnley, Ings is being looked at by Celtic, and Martial has had pretty well documented injury troubles, so not sure any of those would be viable options, though I do believe we were looking at Martial.
08 Sep 2026 09:00:08
Vardy signed for Burnley, I think.
08 Sep 2026 09:30:57
I wouldn't think so, Shanks is 3 months where Chermiti was for the season. Think we will go with what we have until Shanks returns.
08 Sep 2026 10:03:19
Personally I'd say no chance.
08 Sep 2026 11:20:36
Would rather give Gentles a chance than overpay someone's wages, especially with no European football.
08 Sep 2026 11:30:42
No, our wage bill is huge, we have 3 strikers already, can't keep signing players anytime we get an injury.
08 Sep 2026 12:28:38
Exactly Wishy.
08 Sep 2026 12:29:27
Dub Gentles away on loan, so not abattoirs us till January.
08 Sep 2026 12:34:19
Kings going to Hibs supposedly.
08 Sep 2026 12:38:49
We won't bring in another striker imo as we have still Naderi, Kelsy and Miovski 🤔 I absolutely support all our 3 strikers and in fact I got into an argument with a smart a***d Celtic supporter last night who was smearing at us paying what we paid for Naderi 😡 Although I'm still not totally sure if Naderi will make it at Rangers and obviously I hope he does, I absolutely stuck up for him and always will support and back any Rangers player, that's just what I do.
👍 He came out with a song Celtic fans sing about Naderi ie. 'his name is Ryan Naderi he stands at 6 foot 4 and when he jumps to head the ball he ends up 3 foot 4' 😡 Hope Naderi pumps a goal or 2 in their net when we play them in the double header and shut the anthill mob up. 🙏 🇬🇧

We currently have 5 strikers on the books, and even though two are injured, we would still be paying wages for all 6 probably until the end of the season. I haven't seen any realistic names that we could go and get anyway.
Ings had a season at Sheffield United and did nothing, and he's probably the most realistic one.
John, is Gentles not on a development loan at Airdrie, which means we can recall him, does it not?
08 Sep 2026 12:59:54
Wsl, we do not do development loans with Airdrie, it's a straight loan.
Very significant sums will be covered by Chermiti insurance cover, not sure re Shankland if same injury. As he had at Hearts.
08 Sep 2026 13:18:30
Coops, they're obsessed with us.
Making a song about our striker who's scored how many goals?
I like the big man and hope he does well. Starting with the next 3 games.
08 Sep 2026 13:20:18
No chance, too many players in the stands as it is, let's hope it benefits the strikers we have with Shankland out and they step up.
08 Sep 2026 14:08:12
Well, there goes that plan then, John. I thought he was part of the corporation/development deal.
If needs must, then Gassama can play striker, whilst not ideal, it's better than giving Ings & Vardy the wages they demand as we actually have enough wingers now.
08 Sep 2026 14:43:09
I have faith in all the strikers we have. On paper, they are formidable options. 5 good strikers with 3 of them having huge potential.
08 Sep 2026 16:13:38
SWS get yer money on a Naderi goal Sunday. I can feel it!
08 Sep 2026 16:56:54
Wallace, I take it the 3 of our strikers you refer to about having huge potential are Chermiti,
Naderi and Kelsy, mate. 🤔🇬🇧
08 Sep 2026 16:54:59
BigDado i'm going to follow your advice and do that pal 👍 Go on big Ryan Naderi 👍If my memory serves me correct when we signed Naderi at the beginning of the year, did Danny Rohl not actually state that Naderi reminded him of the same style as thomas muller 🤔 That's some compliment 👌
08 Sep 2026 17:26:32
Gassama and Naderi on Sunday, Gassama a double. 🧐
08 Sep 2026 17:39:08
My star, hope so, Gassama Yokata, although out injured as well, Curtis minus and Ouucanani need to cup in 20-25 by Christmas. Dozen from midfield, 6 from defence.
08 Sep 2026 18:09:04
Still working Naderi out myself, mate, but I think there's a lot to like about him. There's a few in the squad we need to work out strengths and play to them. Hopefully his time to arrive is Sunday.
