I wouldn't mind him going to a Championship promotion candidate...the key thing is that if he does move on that he plays exclusively as a centre forward instead of a winger.Quote:

couldnt agree more about his position. He is an out and out goal scorer and needs to play as a striker for a few years consistanty for him to improve.As a Celtic fan I would like to see him at the club because I think hes good enough but a Championship club with the right manager wouldnt be bad for him eitherQuote:

Another year at Hibs would do him the world of good I think... Could be the most open Scottish league in years next season. Playing for a manager who knows him and knows how to play him. Plus it'll give him more choice and leverage in moving on as he'll only have a year left on his contract.
He'd be nuts jumping ship now. He needs to continue to build up his confidence. There's no better tonic for a forward than a steady flow of goals -no matter what calibre of opposition.
I just saw the report on the Guardian website, was there a program about him?Quote:

Have to say, the standard of keeping for some of those goals is absolutely pathetic, Motherwell missed a penalty too. The final goal is worth watching though :D
Stokes was very easily outpaced for in the build-up to Hibs' third. Reminiscent of a modern day Robbie Keane :o

[QUOTE=tricky_colour;1341783]Six goals is not a great amount over a playing career, one extra goal a year would be enough.
The real reason he won't get close to the record is that he is not playing or indeed in the squad!![/QUOTE]
Would you not think the "real" reason would be because he is no-where near as good as Robbie is? (Or was at the same age)

Signing for Celtic according to the Celtic Forums.
would be a great move on both sides I think. Hes a proven SPL goalscorer and the move to a bigger club will be a good test to see if he has matured since he was at SunderlandQuote:

His goals last season and the time with Falkirk werent all against Celtic.Quote:
