Great to see all the movement happening on the transfer front with the moves coming early just as MW said.
We wanted two new CB. Seems like we're going to get two new CB.
We wanted competition for GK. Seems like we're going to get a new GK.
We wanted an experienced, proven CDM. We've now got a new experienced CDM.
A new striker who can lead team with a new attacking midfielder could be great for the new season. Really looking forward to the year ahead for the club.

Who are we linked to, is it all still free transfers?
And if it is free transfers, does anyone think Rangers will actually buy any players.
07 Jun 2016 10:43:18
We have bought Rossiter.
07 Jun 2016 10:47:26
Transfer market officially opens on Thursday so let's wait and see. Cost us 250k for Rossiter, so that's a fee.
If we want someone and its suggested we'll need to pay a fee i'm sure we will, unless there's an alternative free transfer.
Few more loans to come in as well.
07 Jun 2016 11:22:31
think rangers will have a sizeable squad next season just hope all the lads get on and we still have that tight knit squad of guys who will play for the gersey.

Esteban Alvarado, the Goalkeeper we are linked to. still has a year to run on his contract. meaning there would be a transfer fee to get him.

I very much doubt that we will see a summer transfer window where our club doesn't use all avenues for bringing players to the club whether it be other free transfers, loan deals or a permanent signing or two for players who's contracts haven't expired.
But it is fortunate that the players we've went for have been out of contract. Should the club have just not signed Barton, Rossiter, Crooks or Windass just because they are free transfers?
Think every fan would welcome their club spending as wisely as possible to get get as much success as possible. There's nothing wrong with being a bit tight fisted with money when it comes to transfers, especially at Rangers.
Forrester was a free transfer I believe.
O Halloran cost us money. Must there be better examples to show the benefits of free transfers.
07 Jun 2016 13:44:49
money will be spent in think in the region of between 5 and 10 million as mw has had great ambition and know yes free transfers are good to bolster the squad but I think the quality will come by spending money and we will find out who he has in mind.
I don't see us going through this process without buying in more quality. that being said I am very happy with the way things have been going! in warburton we trust.

I never said there was anything wrong with getting players out of contract, I'm delighted with how the club is doing business, I was only asking fans opinions on do they think we will actually buy this window as iv got a feeling Celtic will spend big this summer and before anyone says anything, it's not what u spend it's how u spend it but it usually does get u a bit of quality.
07 Jun 2016 14:37:11
James no chance we will spend up to 10 million on players think you need to be realistic here mate.
07 Jun 2016 15:00:28
What Celtic do with their money is their business.
They've had an almost blank checkbook for the last couple of years and their most promising players to speak of up until now are Keiran Tierney, a player who came up through their youth system, Patrick Roberts who isn't their player, and Leigh Griffiths who is their only out and out goalscorer.
Money at a club means nothing if you can't identify the right players.
07 Jun 2016 15:51:20
Did u not read my post, it's not what u spend, it's how u spend, this is a banter page, where fans talk football.
07 Jun 2016 16:24:49
It's not what you spend its how you spend is obviously accurate.
To be honest I would love to see the club spend money on players who aren't just at the end of their contract and it will happen. Warburton has proven so far that he can work with a budget and I think if we expand his budget slightly, the quality of player he and his staff could identify for our club would top any club in Scotland, there's no doubt.
I think the players we've brought in so far were certainly our first choices though. Barton and Rossiter are remarkable captures for a combined fee of around quarter of a million. Two guaranteed starters who protect the back four for less than half a million. Outstanding.
07 Jun 2016 16:12:30
Playing budget is 4 million.
Exactly as above stated, its how you spend it not how much you spend. there's bargains to be had and i for one trust our manager 100% in the market. he's bound to get a few wrong but he's shown his shrewdness in the market. Signing of the decade has to be Frank McParland, hands down.
07 Jun 2016 17:16:40
I agree thorn76,warbs n weir have worked wonders with such a little amount of money and with the 4 signings so far it's all looking really good, if we could just get rid of greedy Ashley the club would be in such a healthy place, but one thing at a time, I'm desperate to buy a Rangers top but hopefully I will be able to buy some sooner rather than later.
07 Jun 2016 16:15:14
I was thinking before the season ended we will have to spend 5 to 10 million and I stick by that.
I trust in warburton but I think celtic will strengthen and to be in with a shout of winning the title, we will need a good sized squad with some real quality and considering we have just about the same amount of players we did last season we will need to yes be wise with our money, but we will have to spend to get another 6 to 8 quality players in including two cb, s cover for rb, cover for lb, midfield is strong enough but would like another rw and at least 1 more striker with real quality! its just my opinion! if we don't I think we won't win the title at first attempt!
07 Jun 2016 20:46:31
Im happy with what we have been doing so far but think to really compete we will need 1 or 2 signings up to 1mill but can't see us spending more. Considering all of mw signings so far in total is less than celtic paid for stefan scepovic i trust him.
