Okay it was the Championship but still pricey for a 28 Year old Just means Waghorn myt be away for 5m and what can we do.

Do the deal quickly and use the funds to bring in one or two centre backs. Unfortunately the likelihood if Waghorn does go is that King uses the money to balance the books!

If we can get 5-6 million at least for him take it and get in a decent defender or two and get Ryan hardie back from his loan to fill the void leaving more game time for dodoo who I think will be very good for us.

Can't imagine we have books to balance Tom we have been very careful with our money, not saying you, but people have started up the no money brigade again when we clearly have funds if players are asking for contracts that don't befit us we won't sign them.

Balance the books?
We didn't think we'd get Barton or Kranjcar because of their wages.
We didn't think we'd step up with the cash for Garner.
We've signed around a dozen new players.
The board deserves credit whether you're pro DK or not, he's stepped up to the plate.
As for the CB issue. That's been an issue for longer than just the start of this season, the summer or even before the final. The defence has been complete dross for quite a while and we've not improved it one bit as MW has preferred to focus on other areas of the pitch.
Have to say the failure to sign a quality CB lies with MW.

5 million? you lot are kidding we would be lucky to get 2 million we play in the spl! and he's not even played in it yet bar 2 games.

Cee I get your point but if you look how inflated players prices are its not far off to think we could get that kind of money for a player with I think is it three years left on his deal? let's not pretend Oliver Burke is work anywhere near what was paid for him.

Thorn the money we have spent hasn't came from the board it's came from season ticket money. Along with money freed up from all the players that left at end of last season.
There is an illusion of stability because the board are seen as 'rangers men'- this has let them away with absolute murder. They should be held to account and scrutiny, but every time someone tries to they get shouted down, mostly by people that don't seem to understand the full picture.
Dk made clear promises about spending money that he hasn't kept. Several media outlets have highlighted this. Where is the team of Scott allans he talked about last summer or the millions he promised in January?
He has also taken the club to war with sports direct and puma - how anyone can think this is good is beyond my understanding.
But hey ho I'm just being negative- by pointing out the reality.

Oliver Burke is going to a great player and Scotland team will be all about him very soon. I fully expect him to be a star and playing with one of the top tier teams in a few years time.
30 Aug 2016 13:18:48
Well let's hope so, he looks like a good player. But we need some centre backs coming through.
30 Aug 2016 10:07:00
I don't want wags or tav going anywhere but if there's a chance of 5 mil for both its a lot of money and we need to take it and reinvest the money back in the team
Looks at what mcp can do with 2 mil imagine what he can do with 10 million easy choice by wags and tav if it is my choice and bring in better players.
30 Aug 2016 10:58:13
5 or 6 million for Waghorn I can't see us getting anything near that if he goes 2 million max.
