I wonder what the was about today?
First to fly into the pile-on when tempers flared between Manhoef and various Plymouth players.
Went sprinting to Hoever when he scored and went absolutely mental, fist pumping the crowd etc.
Very expressive and chatty when he came off.
Burger ran straight over to him after scoring.
The Abdy Faye-style coordinated dance with Laurent at full time.
Not exactly the behaviour of a player who is mentally checked out and looking for a new club

Presume he's off to Rangers tbh

"Who was sat in the stands watching?" Is probably the more pertinent question to ask. Either way, good performance and long overdue.

Great performance from him, assumed it was a ‘goodbye, this is what you’ll miss’ type of antics from him.

I think he's just a great character and massively popular in the dressing room. I'll be gutted if he leaves, personally.

It was great to see him so aggressive in his play and happy / celebratory after. If he could show that and connect with fans he’d be massively popular, but I think he’s burnt his bridges. The eternal nearly man for me.

When was the last time we saw our players get involved in a good old fashioned multi player brawl like that? Good signs for me.

I think it’s obvious that most of them are actually really decent lads who get on with each other - Baker was clearly buzzing for Cundle at the end despite not getting on, with Haks and Vidigal also getting involved in the high fives and clapping at the end. I just think they need a few more leaders in there to pull them through games.
If Ty could play like that in a similar system every week then absolutely keep him, but we know it’s not likely and I think he probably does need to move on to test himself elsewhere.

Great performance from the whole team today but not sure why Laurent and Campbell are dancing like we won the league. It’s a shockingly bad season

I’ve been his biggest critic(rightly so in my opinion) but today he was definitely more up for it and led the line well.He even threw his arms up in frustration when he realised it was him coming off but soon accepted it and shook everybody’s hand including Bobby Madley and everyone on our bench

Maybe Schumacher has him enjoying his football again. People keep saying he will go Rangers but given his form he would be very lucky to secure a move there. He would do well to get a new contract at Stoke, if Schumacher thinks he can get a tune out of him maybe we should try and extend his contract

It’s a show. He’s trying to look good for his next contract.
Once he has one, he will be back to his low effort, lazy self.

Never been his biggest fan but thought he played well today. Better for all if he moved on though, his career has stagnated here and we need to look to the future. Think the stuff during and after the game was just a natural reaction to his pals doing well and every player wants to win regardless of their character. Good luck to him but his time here is finished I’d imagine

I don’t think it’s a guarantee a better offer than staying here comes up for him this summer.
Clement will likely have his own opinions on how Rangers should spend their money in the summer, and a Championship striker with not all that great a scoring record is probably not in that thinking.
Celtic seem very stocked up on strikers at this moment in time, so really what’s left other than other Championship clubs?
I’m not saying he won’t find a club if we don’t offer him a new contract… Of course he will. But here, with a good summer behind him and better luck with injuries, he’d very likely get more minutes than at a club that would be deemed more appealing based on this season’s league position.
It seems massively to his benefit to at least make it possible we offer a new contract, and that’s likely playing a big part in it. I doubt he’s actually thinking ‘if I look motivated, surely they’ll sign me up again’, but there’s definitely going to be a bit of fear about his future in the back of his mind at this moment in time, and that’s probably why he’s so pumped up at the moment.

He's clearly popular I felt second half several players were trying to set him up for a goal. It does tend to suggest though that he has an agreement in place to leave which is a pity.
