Unpopular opinion, I wouldn’t mind us putting in a cheeky bid for Ryan Bowman.

probably as far away from a Gary Caldwell style striker as you could find :)

But the previous Scottish connections will keep the flame alive!

Is it though? Bowman works hard and presses defenders.
That’s Pretty much how he’s employed Nombe? Is it not. What is a GC style striker?…he’s not actually signed one yet for us yet has he?
Scott is actually a Winger who looks like he should be a target man but clearly isn’t.

Exactly my thinking, he obviously knows about him he played for Motherwell!

Bowman is an immobile target man of the old school if you think that's the style that Gary is building then you will be watching a very different game to the rest of us.

Go ahead then. Tell me what type of forward GC will be looking for to adapt into his style of play that he is building.

Think of any player the direct opposite of Bowman. Preferably one who can get into second gear and move rather than standing on the spot waiting for the ball to come to him. Bowman is suited to teams who play the long ball not to a team playing possession based football that require a striker with guile and movement
