Sp3ckyh0td0g81 Posted June 29, 2017 Report Share Posted June 29, 2017 I always think in a situation like that the player in question, in this case MS, must be a bit insulted. We don't want you we will let you go but only when we get someone who we think is better than you. If we don't then we'll just have to keep you. Better than nothing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Storey career stats is a goal every 5.72 games playing at such places as Newport and Shrewsbury. Boyd career stats is a goal every 2.18 games the majority in the SPL. Storey seems to have had one good season with ICT to his name and nothing else. If we sign him and he proves me wrong I'd be delighted. Just can't see it though.

piffer Posted June 29, 2017 Report Share Posted June 29, 2017 Really need to see Storey playing regularly to judge him. At ICT he played regularly in an ok team and hit double figures. How many regular starts has he had elsewhere in his career to get a chance to build confidence and form. I watched a lot of Aberdeen on TV last year and he was certainly well down the pecking order there. The stats say 14 or 15 appearances depending where you look. I'd guess most of those were as sub and he probably played less than five games in total minutes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skygod Posted June 29, 2017 Report Share Posted June 29, 2017 Timing is everything. You can sign a player who doesn't have great stats because you don't think he has found his level, or he needs a run of games, or he just needs a change of scenery. Lots of players have suddenly come good out of the blue at a new club for no obvious reason. Maybe McCulloch has a hunch about Storey. One thing is for sure - Boyd won't score at a rate of every 2.18 matches next season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hardly a fair comparison is it compare any potential striker on career stat goal ratios against Boydie and they're going to look poor Boydie has played 578 games Storey has played 143 Boydie is 11 years his senior and is one of the most prolific strikers the country has ever produced however in the last 2 seasons he scored 15 goals so it's clear we need to strengthen we need to start looking forward and stop looking back Edited June 29, 2017 by Sp3ckyh0td0g81 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
historyman Posted June 29, 2017 Report Share Posted June 29, 2017 (edited) Don't think Storey is the answer but finding someone who will get us 10 goals or more in the league won't be easy. There are no obvious candidates in Scotland I can think of that a) we could afford and b) would want to join us. We need to find another Coulibaly or Moult from England or try and get a good young prospect on loan. Whether or not we find him will be a big factor in how well we will do next season.

bizza_89 Posted June 29, 2017 Report Share Posted June 29, 2017 He might not be prolific but at least he is mobile. A lazy Kris Boyd does nothing to free up space for players like Jones & Kiltie playing behind him or out wide. If he's willing to put a shift in I'll happily have him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullitt Posted June 29, 2017 Report Share Posted June 29, 2017 I actually have a sneaky feeling he would be a good signing. As mentioned above, he can't really be judged at other clubs based on him being a bit-part player. Aberdeen fan in my work today says he's hardly seen him kick a ball and doesn't fall into the Derek McInnes "striker" mould. On subject of goal scoring strikers we could get, I still think Billy McKay would be worth approaching. He's a smashing player and he would likely be free to leave for hee-haw! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrestersKtid Posted June 29, 2017 Report Share Posted June 29, 2017 Would Storey be coming in as a loan? I doubt he'd fancy taking a big pay cut to come to us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skygod Posted June 29, 2017 Report Share Posted June 29, 2017 He's got a year left so I think it would be a loan. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverick11 Posted June 30, 2017 Report Share Posted June 30, 2017 Storey isn't really a striker; he's more of a number 10 to play behind a striker is he not? We lacked creativity centrally and my hunch would be that's what McCulloch has planned for him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
