I looked at Wikipedia too: 4 for Aberdeen, 8 for Killie, 3 for the Rangers: 15 league goals in total, as I said. The other 2 goals you mention are in cup competitions. He's hardly been prolific, much less so than McNulty, for instance, and I wouldn't want him back at ER.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

I’d really like us to cast our net further afield than just Scotland or people who have played here before.
The prospect of the likes of Devlin, Stewart, Mcmann (the boy from Hamilton, think that’s his name) and others like him would probably all do a job but aren’t exactly getting the juices flowing.

Greg Stewart would be a Jamie Murphy style backwards signing. We should focus our resources on players 26 and under so we can nurture them and get sell on value. Murphy won’t be cheap, isn’t a starter and has fitness issues - we are in no position to move him on. Unless it is a special player like Griffiths, I don’t like us gambling on old firm outcasts who are past their prime.
Meanwhile Aberdeen are looking to the MLS and are close to signing a USA international. I would love us to cast the net a bit wider, like the Stubbs and Lennon era and look to bring in your Marcianos, MacLarens, Malongas etc. We seem a bit too focused on the UK and especially the Scottish market since Hecky and Ross joined. Maybe it is Mathie and the scouting team that are too narrow minded and hesitant to look in other markets.

In recent interviews with players who’ve served under Postecoglou,they all say the same thing,”he’s a hard nut who doesn’t suffer fools gladly”.
Anyone who doesn’t buy into his philosophy doesn’t get to hang around him for long.
Its highly likely that once he’s had a chance to study Griffiths somewhat chequered history at Celtic Postecoglou won’t be asking him to hang about long.
This would free up Griffiths,and give rise to the question as to whether Hibs are really serious about acquiring him.

I don't get the fuss around Stewart. Didn't particularly worry me when he played for Aberdeen. We've surely got to be looking at better? He'd be warming the bench every week.

The thing with LG is he is guaranteed to get us some goals. He might not come in and bang in 20 goals but I would be very confident he'd be getting atleast 10 or so.
Depending on what his wage demands are that would be up for debate whether that's value for money.

What are the numerous issues with Leigh Griffiths that some people allude to and what kind of hassle would he cause?

His lack of fitness was flagged up by Lennon on a few occasions and there were issues (won’t speculate) which made him take some time away from football that he’s openly admitted himself.

We could devote significant resources into identifying, scouting and negotiating terms with a player only to see their visa application rejected because they don't meet this criteria. It used to only be a factor if you were recruiting from outside of the EU but now its any non-UK based player that is subject to this and the additional work and cost it brings.

Could still offer him something on reduced terms though, if the new Manager wants him in

There’s nothing to stop Celtic going back though and saying “we’ll give you £8k a week rather than the £20k a week you were getting” and it’ll still be the best Griffiths will get in Scotland.
