Why bother wasting your time quoting  me and giving your 2 cents if it's semantics?😕

Geesh you are hard on a guy.  He got 9 goals in 27 games just 2 years ago in the scot premier league.  If we are supposed to be excited about Stphen Hoyle and the Swedish kid at York, why wouldnt Haber be considered a star??  He scored some beauts for Dundee over the years.  And it sounds like his wages werent very high so it wont be much of a pay cut.  Much more excited about that than some mid 30's chilean.  

I don't feel like i'm being hard on Marcus at all. Unless a striker is banging in goals at a rate of or close to 1 every 2 games I can't consider them a "star" striker. He may have scored a goal every 3 games 2 seasons ago, but this season he has scored 0 goals in 17 games in a lower division. For club he scores every 6th game, and country every 9th game on average. Those numbers just don't back up a star tag. Can't we just be excited at the prospect of him returning to Canada without giving him an unjustified star tag? 

 Marcus Haber is 30 in a few days and hasn't reached 60 career goals between club and country. He has never scored more than 12 goals in a season, and that was 10 years ago in USL. Marcus has actually only reached double digit scoring in a season 2 times in his career(12,10). As it stands he is not star material when you're talking about a striker. But with his build he could still have a big impact for a club, he will just have to find some sort of scoring form for me to consider him a star.
