Morelos was always a risky purchase due to his temperament. Who is going to take a risk when he's also badly out of form and overweight? It's over 11 hours since he scored a goal in the league and he doesn't look like scoring either.
Looks like Bayo and Shved have been wasted money. Neither are getting close to getting a game. Sounds like St Mirren are about the only team interested in Bayo.
Edouard is a quality player.

I agree with pretty much all of this, but the current Celtic first team rotation of about 15 players is very hard to break into. Lenny doesn’t tend to rotate much so the likes of Bayo and Shved get precious little chance. They would need to be a revelation in the reserves or league cup games they get to move up the pecking order. Then along comes a guy like Frimpong, and pushes them even further down the list. Good to see Dembele get a few minutes today, but I’m not sure whey the wait until the 85th minute to try a few changes. The 5 subs change really plays into Celtic’s hands, and is a good opportunity to give more players more game time. Looks like Bayo and Shved have been wasted money.

Rumours are we want him. You're obviously always wary of signings coming from the SPL but he looks a class above and his stats are better Dembeles were before his move.
You don’t want him... he’s rubbish, overrated, injury prone and highly temperamental.... and I think he has 6 points on his license too... so no, you definitely don’t want him, noooo....Leicester Loyal said:

If the figures for Morelos (17m) are correct then on this showing how much is Eddie worth?

You're obviously always wary of signings coming from the SPL but he looks a class above and his stats are better Dembeles were before his move.Morelos has never scored against Celtic in the years he's been here. He bottles it. There's a YouTube video somewhere and be gets flustered and can't hack the big games.
He only scored 12 goals in the Scottish premier league last season. He's looked hopeless after all the embarrassment of his car incident and the translation stitch up.
He's nowhere near the same league as Edouard or Dembele. He won't cost anywhere near the same amount of money either.
I won't be sorry when he leaves though. I'm surprised Rodgers is interested in him.
I actually think £17 mill for Morelos is decent value based on some of the money spent in the English premier league in the past 12 months.
It’s clear Morelos is a class above the SPFL; he could turn out to be a good signing at Ligue 1 level; He may be able to cut it in the English premier league.
The problem for Rangers is the replacement or rather replacements. They need at least 2 options if Morelos leaves; Defoe's best days are behind him and his injury record is catching up his goal record.
Predictions for Ross County vs Motherwell tomorrow?
Expecting a narrow Well win, maybe 1-0

He scored more goals than Morelos in far less minutes. It’s clear Morelos is a class above the SPFL; he could turn out to be a good signing at Ligue 1 level; He may be able to cut it in the English premier league.

Edouard is 22. His senior career includes PSG, Toulouse and Celtic, with goals in the Champions and Europa Leagues. In context, by the same age Jamie Vardy's senior career consisted of Stocksbridge Park Steels F.C.

Morelos is a £8m max but with the EPL awash with money then maybe Rodgers would go to £12m anymore is a huge gamble imo!It’s clear Morelos is a class above the SPFL; he could turn out to be a good signing at Ligue 1 level; He may be able to cut it in the English premier league.
