Is Louis Moult not a bit too similar to Rooney? As in he is pretty much just a goal poacher with possibly a little more pace.

I will be honest and say I haven't really seen that much of Moult but I would have thought Rooney was better than him.

I was quite keen on Moult, but then we easily marked him out of the game our when we last played Motherwell, so left not so sure.
His goal scoring record is pretty admirable for a Motherwell team. 36 in 76 games

Yeah thats a decent record he has for Motherwell. It could work 2 ways if we were to sign him,

He would be playing with better players at Aberdeen and he could score even more goals for us or he wouldn't get as much space as he does at Motherwell with teams more likely to sit in against us than they do against a pretty poor Motherwell side. Resulting in a Miles Storey scenario.

Miles Storey scored some good goals for ICT and although you could argue he hasn't been given enough game time with us,the chances he has been given he's been pysh. Im sure if he ends up at Kilmarnock he will score 10 -15 goals for them.

Indeed, different players are more effective at differing clubs.

I'm not yet ready to discount Storey as I think there can be a very good player in him
Hayes was not great in his first year and hoping Storey goes on to make the impact Hayes did in his subsequent years.

From what I've seen of Storey, I'd be staggered if he makes an impact.
Headless chicken with no touch and no game intelligence at all.
As for his finishing, least said the better.
He's a Killie player at best. ICT was his level.
We need to admit our mistake and let him go - which I think will happen when we sign a new striker.

Storey not really had much of a chance in the first team. However, presumably hasn't impressed at all in training and will probably be shipped out.

Real sickener with May. Think we were on verge of a deal before Grayson went to Sunderland. I think Neil will want to keep him. His stats at Hamilton were pretty impressive when he was there on loan and I don't think Preston have a huge amount of money for marquee signings compared to some of the bigger Championship sides.

[sheepcrooky]

It sounds like our plans A, B and C have went wonky after (in no particular order) Boyce, May and Maloney for different reasons are looking unlikely at least in the short term.

Hopefully McInnes has a plan D (or E).

[Hairdrier]

Hopefully McInnes has a plan D (or E).

Hopefully, the idea of banking solely on signing two talented but clearly injury prone players as replacements for McGinn and Hayes seems a wee bit hair-brained.

It's not yet a foregone conclusion.
Preston I recall have just signed two strikers, so he may still be surplus to requirements

Absolutely, a tenuous connection between the two from a few years ago has led to doom and gloom with no foundation. Must be a great party at all your houses.
