Anthony Stokes

He certainly has and probably will reach 100 goals as he's already played in England and not done too well so he'll not be of much interest to English teams so could easily be here for 5+ years.

I think people think "he's scored about 5 penalties" but remember he was the one who won most of the penalties. Off the top of my head he won 2 penalties against Aberdeen(9-0 game), one of them he let Paddy take. He also won the penalty againt Kilmarnock that Murphy took, he won the penalty against Aberdeen in the semi plus he won the penalty against Hibs the other week. So he has won 5 penalties himself maybe more i cant remember the others.

 

He's built nice wee partnership with the Hoopster & the pair of them seem to be banging in the goals !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Long may it continue !!!!!!!!!!!

Hail Hail

 

He's been brilliant so far imo. He's a very intelligent player i think, he links up beautifully with Hooper. Long may it continue.

 

The guys a brilliant striker done us proud

 

Stokesy is a vital cog in this team.I think Stokes's goals could mean
the difference between winning or losing this league. Defintely a talisman
for us, and I would be interested to know his goal stats, and his stats
for being on the winning side.

 

hes a moany *

 

oh and isnt he our top assister aswell as our top goalscorer?

 

He needs to play alongside Hooper to be at his most effective, but yeah, very good player for us. Number 2 striker behind Hoops

 

If he stays long enough i can see him surpassing boyd in SPL's top goal scorer, he only 22 after all and has around 50 spl goals

 

I do know that in the 7 league games since the Jan 2nd OF game... He has scored 8 goals .......

Plus one goal in the league cup semifinal vs Aberdeen

 

One of my favourite players. Underestimated IMO .

 

backed him from day one when alot of peeps where slaggin him for his personal life, who gives a *? he's a bhoy who who is and will score celtic goals, mon the hoops!!!

 

Like I thought. And his assists and penalties. No opposing manager or defence can afford to ignore the danger of Stokes, so it worries them, and maybe blurs their tactical thinking. All good.

 

Yeah, in the SPL anyway, he has 14 SPL goals and 6 assists. 3rd top scorer behind Miller and Sammon overall and 2nd top assister behind Weiss but then again Weiss takes corners and freekicks so i'd bet Stokes has created the most from open play.

It actually shows how good we are now that Stokes doesn't get much said about him. As Scott McDonald I recall was praised like a ghod in his first season and imo he's not even as good as Stokes who this season has had little if any recognition.

 

He is a class act and much better than that piece of pish (Jelavic) they've got across the city. He always seems to be there when we need him and even though his goal was lucky, he deserves it.

 

How Manu leagues had he played in and how many has he started

 

Really pleased for Stokes to be getting some credit playing with confidence and a real finisher, would be unlucky to be dropped for the huns I think the partnership deserves a shot at the huns!!

I couldn't believe that people on this forum were looking for him to be moved on in the window when all he needed was a goal. He stepped up the mark and slotted an important pen against Hamilton and never looked back!!

 

Hooper has had a lot of praise and rightly so but for me, Stokes has been every bit as good. I was always confident he would score goals but the level of performances he has put in consistently has been surprising. He's playing great, he's one of us and he is still young with potential, fantastic buy.

 

stooooookes , stokes will tear you aparttttt , aaaaagainnnnn :icon_mrgreen:

 

When we signed him I think it was an SPL goals guarantee and he has delivered so fair enough! Good work rate too though and he does create
