    32, hadnt played or trained properly since May this year and averages a handful of goals a season...

    7 caps for England, last one nearly 6 years ago.

    Older than Scott McDonald.

    Still dont see why we signed him. Not for goals thats for sure and we dont play with 2 strikers...

    Think I was a bit harsh, taking my frustrations at the club in general out on the big man. I hope he does well, seems like a really nice guy. The whole team is * me off, I'll go give them some on their forums and leave the bug guy alone.

    I'm not saying he's going to be Henrik Larsson or Mo Bangura but it is extremely easy to see why he signed. His attributes.

    Needs a start against Stranraer.

    Agree with this.. If he hasn't enough left in the tank, fitness or ability to face Stranraer whit's the point?

    Think it'll go to Ciftci unfortunately, he'll most likely come off the bench unless another youngster is given a app.

    Surely Griffiths will start? Fair enough take him off after an hour and put on Cole or Ciftci, wouldn't trust either of they two to get the job done against anyone

    Not sure Griff is fully fit yet and I dont think we should risk him vs Stranraer anyway. I think it will go to Ciftci purely because we should be banging in 5-6 on teams like this and Ciftci could get a boost in confidence. I'd rather start Cole tho and give him game time.

    I think Cole will be gone at the end of the season, to be filed under "W" for "what the * was the point?"

    Is he on a pay as you play contract or a rolling yearly contract?

    Guessing he'll be on a low wage then bonuses if he plays etc.
    We should keep him just for his song.

    Need to keep this big black * for the qualifiers in my honest opinion. He'll be tearing things up soon up enough to an extent that Ronny will have no choice but to play him and Leigh as a two up front.

    He's never been very prolific so surely he wouldn't be expected to play up front alone?

    He's on an 18 month contract and had a long trial. We expect more out of him than just this season.
