They tried that already and didn't seem to work. I think both of them are more suited in a lone role. |

Probably the level he is currently at. Not the massive club but a big enough club in a big enough league. Hopefully they are willing to pay north of 20m. I'd rather lose him in January than the Summer. |

Yes, he’s been unlucky with injuries and has shown that he has the potential to play at a far higher level than the SPL. Truth is though, he has shown precious little of his undoubted talent so far this season. We don’t know how fit he actually is so it’s a strange one. Edouard grabbed his chance with both hands against Motherwell and has earned more game time. In the current situation BR has a dilemma and that’s without even mentioning Griffiths. |

no it is not IF an agreement have been made with Dembele that he can (and have the desire to) leave in the summer (or January) he should be played as much as possible to get his sales value up don't see him being with us any longer than to the summer, so we need to add as much to his value as possible - we will win (most games) domestically no mather who will be upfront of Dembele, Griffiths and Edouard |

Didn't look off the pace when he scored two vs Hibs, had a pretty good game in the final vs Motherwell and had a pretty good game (and scored) up at St Johnstone. |

He has played what? 14 games all season? He has scored 8 goals. Not buying he hasn't hit form. He just hasn't played enough. |

Injuries have undoubtedly held his career progression back so far. He has quality no doubt but at the moment is far far away from the top bracket. I think he shouldstay with us until he can maintain a run of games over a lengthy period and then we should look to cash in. If some club meantime comes in with a bid north of £20m then it gives us a decision to make. |

Demble if fit is a starter...If thats with Leigh or without Leigh it doesn't really matter he starts in my team every time. I'f play the two for a game or two see what happens ..Griff could easily play left or right of the three or in the rogic role |

Haven't we tried that and it doesn't work? I think Griffiths is either a main striker or nothing. |

This forum is the only place I ever read or hear folk coming out with stuff like that (wanting players played out of position). Griffiths has never been any better than rotten when playing anywhere else other than as striker. In the wide positions we've got Forrest who is playing brilliantly, Sinclair who is badly out of form but still scoring pretty regularly and was POTY last season, and Hayes and Johnston who both at least have the potential to be good SPL players for us and need games to see if they can do it. Other than to shoe-horn him into the team, what sense is there in playing Griffiths out wide? |

I wanted to see it last season, we tried it in a few games but it didn't work. MD and LG as a front 2 would be worth a go but it isn't going to happen. We had a chance to try it in the league against Killie yet put Griffiths behind MD and left Lustig to run the right hand side by himself. |

I would sell if we get a decent offer in January. Try and get a fair bit of business done this window like we keep saying we will. Brendan does actually have a pretty big rebuild on his hands fast approaching. I would more inclined to start planning for next seasons CL than be too caught up worrying about the Europa. |

You do realise you kinda compared Kris Boyd to Moussa Dembele? That is what I was reacting to. As for Edouard, I like the look of him and if he continues to play like he did against Well, and his debut against Hamilton, he would be a great addition to our squad but he hasn't shown anywhere near enough consistency in the fleeting glimpses we've saw of him to compare him favourably to Dembele. |

I think the tall, black and French thing is driving comparisons. |

Without a doubt. I forsee a 'Christian Nade with pace' after a no bad to middling performance at some point. |

Don’t think anyone is comparing him favourably overall - apologies if I’ve missed it. Folk have said there is an argument for starting OE vs Hibs, which is much different. |
