I wrote the day after august window the squad was to be overhauled in next three windows.
I was shot down many saying this would hand impetus back to Celtic
I said follow would leave
McGregor
McLaughlin
Firth
Goldston
Arfield
Defoe
Kent

Davis might get knew contract. Also said barisic and Morelos wiould be sold

Bids were turned down for Maxwell and Kelly from hibs on deadline day

Players in Souter. Now out our finances
Dorheki
Veerman
Wallace
Clark
Ivanic
Later added we were scouting cooper again and John Souter
How many still want goldston barisic McGregor Davis Morelos Arfield to stay.
The overall should have started in July with verrman and doehki imo selling at least two first team for realistic deals.
Yesterday I was told barisic and Kamara want away.

You have missed Tavernier he should be top of any list. The guy is a complete liability.

Think comimg summer could see biggest chamge round of players we have ever seen. goimg imo for differemt reasons not good enough/ wanting down to england

Greegs
Tav
Goldson
Balogun
Borna
Arfield
Davis
Kamara
Aribo
Morelos

Davis is done
Greegs has conceded something daft like 9 out last 12 shots at him.
Gio has got a massive job on his hands with a tough run of gamesm really not looking forward to easter road. Did think had they not go boy sent off at ibrox they probably would have beaten us.

John 25 more than happy to sell Barasic and Kamara. i'd quite happily sell a few more. 👍.

We could do a lot worse than going and signing martin boyle. far more effective than any of our attacking players.


5.) 22 Nov 2021
22 Nov 2021 08:18:08
Paul you missed kent as he's a goner whether you want him to be or not.


6.) 22 Nov 2021
22 Nov 2021 08:20:01
John with new coaching staff are the targets you mention still targeted or has that ship sailed? Also is it possible the players you mentioned for the exit, is it possible for them to be off in January?


7.) 22 Nov 2021
22 Nov 2021 08:28:23
Was big mistake not selling some of these players. Too many like SG felt the job was done and clearly don't want to be here. Gerrard allowed a serious attitude of complacency to develop. Unfortunately value of most of the team has plummeted. Last season talk of £15-20m players. Can't see getting more than £5m for anyone.


8.) 22 Nov 2021
22 Nov 2021 08:40:12
Out your list John…
McGregor - I think needs to be dropped and no new contract. If nothing else need to start planning for next season.
McLaughlin - I would keep
Firth - replace with younger player
Goldston - sell in Jan if we can bring in a replacement
Arfield - I like but getting on a bit for a squad player
Defoe - assume may stay as a coach?
Kent - we need someone like Kent as have a lack of pace and skill in the team but would sell for right money.

I think more changes will happen in January now with the new manager as he will want his own players and bed in before next season.

John25 ; am I wrong in thinking I read that Goldson and Barasic don’t get in and don’t speak or am I barking up the wrong tree, I’ve been saying for a long time the signing policy this summer was terrible none of the players signed have gone on to be nailed on starters, we should have strengthened from a position of strength but the team has stagnated, we are a shadow of the team we were, I found what Goldson said is very telling if your vice captain thinks you can’t score twice in 50 mins we have a problem, I think we have a very hard few months ahead, you can see there isn’t the togetherness in the team that’s needed I really fear for us unless Gio can work wonders.

Yeah sweep sorry mate my mistake. he's gone. barry mckay was more consistant.


11.) 22 Nov 2021
22 Nov 2021 09:27:12
Sweep, J king agree but I’m only writing what I was told at time. My views on tav r clear, sell him and keep Paterson.
Twacoos, it was I who wrote about this, barisic had massive fallout with Goldston allegedly over him putting boot into katic, at the time tav backed Goldston.
There is lots of friction in dressing room, and many cliques, same as lots off teams.
Imo this is affecting the team , gerrard was too weak to sort it out.


12.) 22 Nov 2021
22 Nov 2021 09:34:21
Bgate i think still targets. Reason I say this DoF ids players that fit system with manager having final say
I do know we watched doehki and veerman this weekend, rangers seem to follow a player for months, watching regular, same we did with roofe, Lundstrum sakala alegria.
Bgate I suppose depends who comes in, Gerrard wanted top heavy squad because of C.V. hence Mccrorie Kelly Simpson arfield not on loan and Defoe retained as a player despite wanting to concentrate on coaching.


13.) 22 Nov 2021
22 Nov 2021 10:24:46
Thanks again for your input John 👍.


14.) 22 Nov 2021
22 Nov 2021 10:56:23
Hope it’s true John Kent will be sold January I think don’t think giving Davis another deal is good business again like McGregor he’s been great although Davis is not by like McGregor a don’t think he has another season in him at the level he has been playing sadly.


15.) 22 Nov 2021
22 Nov 2021 11:22:30
I’d be trying to move on both Tav and Barasic in Jan as we have ready made replacements. If we can get a fee in Jan and Doehki in then Goldson can go, he’s already away at end of contract. I’m lead to believe that Kamara signing deal was to increase his sell on fee and I think he will be gone along with Kent who wants back down south and will probably join up with SG again. That’s a huge chunk of our first team regulars from last year potentially leaving and it’s a gamble but I think it has to be taken, with fingers crossed new guys added settle quickly.


16.) 22 Nov 2021
22 Nov 2021 11:40:55
John25,i take it u were told by your source i know that both barisic and kamara want away mate🤔The way they performed yesterday, I think they all want away🤔I think you can add goldson and possibly morelos and kent to that list mate! I would honestly give jacko the captains armband right now if i was gio🤔.


17.) 22 Nov 2021
22 Nov 2021 11:50:06
RFC I never said January, hopefully though he up is desperate to be In England with his lady.


18.) 22 Nov 2021
22 Nov 2021 12:17:58
Add hagi to the list.


19.) 22 Nov 2021
22 Nov 2021 12:32:40
Yes SGL, we need some firm decisions, if kent Barisic kamara want out get rid off. Same with anyone else but you need a buyer at a realistic price
I wrote in august goldston was going he is treating us fans as idiots, at least Kamara signed extension to get us more money.


20.) 22 Nov 2021
22 Nov 2021 12:59:12
Thanks for the info John25. You can tell there is something not right, and that usually means behind the scenes. If, as you say there are divides between players then that is not good, only way to fix that is mass clearance and let Gio start with his own squad and ideas. Do I see it happening. no. I think we are still very very poor at selling players for decent money but if we get any decent offers in for any player in January I'd take it.


21.) 22 Nov 2021
22 Nov 2021 13:08:35
Guys issues in dressing room happens at every club it’s only an issue when losing, when your winning it’s never an issue. Players fall out and players don’t renew contracts it’s how the staff handle those issues that are key.


22.) 22 Nov 2021
22 Nov 2021 14:02:56
Kents contract runs out 31 may 2023 so if we want any sort of cash for him will need to go in January by summer transfer window will have less than a year left on his deal would prob get less than we paid in summer.


23.) 22 Nov 2021
22 Nov 2021 15:13:05
Thanks for the info John25, fully agree with that list, indeed other than Aribo and young Patterson I would be happy if we replaced all of Gerrard's signings. They either appear to be disinterested or are simply not good enough.
I just hope that we can rake in enough money for guys like Kent, Barasic and Kamara to give GVB a decent transfer budget to bring in the players needed.


24.) 22 Nov 2021
22 Nov 2021 15:36:28
I’ve long had a suspicion both Goldson and Tav are arrogant, like they considered themselves above Scottish, or any other people, I could be wrong but Goldson oozes arrogance, and I suspect they have been allowed to carry this because Stevie allowed it, I’ve never ever been carried away with our defenders and said so many times before, I didn’t quite believe the hype of last season, but I was delighted with the end result of course, imo quite a few were past they’re sell by date in summer, and Stevie ignorance of Alf, Kent Tav, being close to useless this year is manifesting itself now, gio has a job on getting rid.


25.) 22 Nov 2021
22 Nov 2021 22:14:00
Seems like Gerrard left a mess behind! Question is, what is wrong with Rangers that there are so many disheartened players, all wanting out. Even Gerrard couldn't get out fast enough, something not right.


26.) 22 Nov 2021
22 Nov 2021 18:50:05
John 25. after last nights performace we definitely need to upgrade the center defence and centre mid. do you recon we will bring both doeki and veerman in if we manage to sell a player. we looked so flat yesterday.


27.) 22 Nov 2021
22 Nov 2021 20:15:37
Although we have a tough run of games coming up, glasgow rangers shouldn't fear going anywhere🤔It's easter road paul86 not the camp nou mate. With the players we have and gio gets them going again and gets a tune out of them we'll beat hibs because quite simply we have better players than them!


28.) 22 Nov 2021
22 Nov 2021 20:32:00
SGL I thought you said kent was going to sign a new deal and he was happy up here? Not only you a few did and had a go at quite a few of us on here for saying the opposite.


29.) 22 Nov 2021
22 Nov 2021 20:33:27
TT If that’s what Tav thinks then he is deluded one good season in how many up here? Worst defender I have ever seen.

Goldson one good season also but I agree with you as that’s the way they come across and I don’t know why.


30.) 23 Nov 2021
23 Nov 2021 05:43:41
Yes i did stormtrooper i was told he was by his sponsor👍With gerrard leaving in all honesty i now have my doubts regarding Kent staying/ committing🤔.

Who is the Wallace you mention?


32.) 23 Nov 2021
23 Nov 2021 10:19:25
Is it M Wallace at Millwall? if so I agree.


33.) 23 Nov 2021

Jed Wallace Millwall.


34.) 23 Nov 2021
23 Nov 2021 12:01:59
SGL I think he does want away now by the looks of it.


Win one trophy and these lot think they can pick any team in the world to play for.


35.) 23 Nov 2021
23 Nov 2021 12:49:51
Storm he wanted away last summer, nothings has changed his good lady lives and works in England.


36.) 23 Nov 2021
23 Nov 2021 15:28:53
Think we need Jed In on January we are short of wingers a know Gerrard played roofe ect on the wing but from me that are strikers not wingers we relly only have Kent Wright and hagi as wingers at to me hagi better as a cam.


37.) 23 Nov 2021
23 Nov 2021 15:58:17
Kent Wright and Hagi are better on a aeroplane out of Glasgow airport imo
Take as much as possible then cheerybye,
Sand dancers all 3.

23 Nov 2021 17:03:29
John quick question - are you saying that all players after Souttar are now out with our finances? You mention Doehki who is out of contract in the Summer and I am thinking that he would cost less in wages than Goldson. Souttar I have heard is more or less a done deal with pen to paper completed sometime between dec and jan. I have also heard that since the said falling out you mention a further 2 of our defenders are not on speaking terms. That being Tav and Goldson. So far as far as I am aware its all hear say though.


39.) 23 Nov 2021
23 Nov 2021 17:08:47
I agreed with you back then John when you said it I was one that said he wouldn’t sign a new contract.


40.) 23 Nov 2021
23 Nov 2021 17:09:51
TT I agree a lot of people on here championed wright and I never liked him from day dot. He never stood out for the sheep in any game and when we signed him folk were calling him the new neil McCann 😂.


41.) 23 Nov 2021
23 Nov 2021 17:39:57
Not disagreeing TT12 but Kent is quoted by many on here as our best player and they won't agree with you that he should fly out of the country to do some sand dancing.


42.) 23 Nov 2021
23 Nov 2021 19:58:47
Benny no mate. Harry Souter out with our range. Now valued at 15-20 million.
Rest in our range, with doehki and Wallace frees.

That’s long been case re tav and Goldston, although they appear to communicate on pitch.


43.) 23 Nov 2021
23 Nov 2021 19:59:47

Proves I can get it wrong.

Absolute disgrace if a squad who won 1 title in 3.5 years are so unhappy half want to go others don't talk why was SG allowed then to let it get this bad also surely Ross Wilson must be aware of unhappy players therefor punt them in summerwere in real danger of losing the most important title since we came back up to imo the worst celtic team in past 10 years.
