Kane Hester is a player I've seen quite a few times at Elgin and one I've wanted to see at Balmoral alongside Mitch. Pace and natural finisher. I hoped we'd move for him when there was talk we were getting a new striker but we got Rory instead Think he extended his contract until 2023 so you're right would need some ££ to buy. Surprised he's not playing higher. Edited June 13, 2021 by CoveRangers1922 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hull were interested in January, so I doubt either of us will be in with a chance of getting him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would happily swap Rory for Shane. As are quite a few clubs in L1, Cove are looking for a centre forward. We need someone to play up top with Mitch. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if there are any players in the mould of Chris Kane/Stevie May who we could get on loan from a prem team If St JohnSons is a thing again, I'm here for it. We don't really have any young strikers that I know of, though. Alex Ferguson is 17 and rated higher than both May/Kane were at this age, by the sounds of things, but is more an attacking midfielder than striker, and last time he played for us he still hadn't filled out yet.so might get chucked about easy. Nutmegs folk for fun. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lorenzo71 Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 Mark Mcguigan is the kind of striker we need.Great signing for EF in my opinion.There aren't many natural goalscorers out there.Used to be back in the 80s/90s every club had their target man. Rowan Alexander at Morton, Dalziel at Raith, Eadie at the Bankies,Colin Mcglashen at Clyde, Willie Watters at stirling/killie, Robert Reilly the same, Chico Gibson at us, Paul Hunter at East Fife,Lytwyn at Alloa , Hendry at QP,Ally Graham at Albion Rovers etc etc Where have all the strikers gone? The Lowland League can't sign them all!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Lowland League can't sign them all!! I think strikers are becoming like goalkeepers. So many teams only play with one (or non at all) that most players will be able to play more than one position - rather than being an out-and-out number nine as they were back in the day. Think about the amount of forwards who are also wingers/wide forwards or attacking midfielders. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL..ITS GETTING ALL TOO CONFUSING!!!I'M obviously a fuddy-duddy who still likes all their players with a label!! So with this logic outside of Hopkirk who could play in a strikers role? Orsi?Maclean? Duthie?Ramsbottom? (OK JUST KIDDING WITH THAT ONE) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(OK JUST KIDDING WITH THAT ONE) I think Orsi, who was a winger back in his Brechin days, was turned into a sort of hardworking target man type in his spell at Cappielow. I'd imagine he'll be used as a striker. I'm not sure if Hopkirk will be seen as a striker, an attacking mid or what. Maclean is, as I understand it, definitely a winger and Conner Duthie? Well who knows. The right-back/right-mid/striker. He could find himself in the Ian Chisholm role. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As 23 years of pent-up hope were collapsing in front of me I reflected on two of Scotland's strikers today, one who played with us and one who played against us, and neither with much distinction. Funny old game right enough. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FifeSons Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 The second Czech goal gave me flashbacks to Ramsbottom vs Forfar. Granted the Czech guy had a lot more to do, but left me with the same disbelief and speechless. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Moonster Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 Faz saying he's looking to add another couple of players to what we've got, I assume that means before the League Cup and therefore usually when the better loans come available. Need a striker or two in definitely, possibly cover for Boyle at left back, or will Lynch do that job? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was one of the best goals I've seen at the Rock. I'd been giving him stick (body shaming) him and he ran right over to me aswell. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
