I was told yesterday that Shankland is a done deal at end of the season. Goldson can go, Lundstrum can go, Silva should be sent back, Tav is done and in reality as a Rangers captain is an embarrassment. Goal stats are great in a rubbish league. Trophy count? Useless.

Can only hope so . Our team is full of perennial bottles when it comes to the business end of the league.

Would say we need two good goal poachers up top for next season - so would welcome Shankland at reasonable price and AN Other - either moving Dessers on or as keeping as back-up too imo!

i would happily put money on shankland being here, along with another, and i wouls be happy to see that, there's no real rangers connection in our team just now, and shanks will score in the league every week, you can almost guarantee that.

Signing Shankland in the summer or not won’t make any difference now. We will be Miles behind them.

Agreed Azul, but only because we have fallen apart.

Add Shankland, McBurnie, McNair (if rumours are true), 2 solid CB's, a quality CM, move Sterling to RB, Ridvan at LB, and Cortez to come in, and we have a solid unit. God knows where we're going to get the money from, but I can dream.

My biggest fear is whether the tims actually spend money this time, and bring in decent quality. We can't compete with that, and with their money in the bank, and transfer fees they can bring in for O'Reilley, and their 3 main Japanese players, it could get very very bleak.

If they win the league they will all the CL money Paul it will give them a significant head start they also have assets to sell in their team. We have Butland and that’s about it. It’s head in the sand stuff to say we won’t be miles behind. We are going to have to have the best summer of recruitment we have seen in years to be in with a chance.

I would be signing McBurney and McNair if the rumours are true and would be breaking the bank to bring in a quality centre back.
Celtic will inevitably improve their squad although with their manager that won't be that much of a plus however our Board must give Clement the transfer budget that he needs to significantly upgrade the current squad or he is on a hiding to nothing.

Think we were all told in December Shankland was a done deal and would sign 1st Jan. Never happened.

McNair and McBurnie are absolutely woeful.

Absolute rangers da signings.

The same people will think mccausland is a good player.

I don't think McCausland is a good player, so there's your reckoning on it's arse right away.

Shankland will not be a rangers player it’s amazing that it’s started cropping up again after we lost a couple of games and draws.

tin1872, have you watched McBurnie in any games, he is head and shoulders above anyone that we have in attack and he is a better player than Shankland who is also better than anything we have.
McBurnie on a free is also a good deal unless suddenly we are going to conjure up £50m to spend on players and that is highly unlikely with the current Board.

Wishy they had all champions league money this year and sold Jota for 25 million.

very good post bb.

18.) 20 Apr 2024
20 Apr 2024 15:37:25
Yes BB, I have. And being better than what we have is in absolutely no way a valid barometer to sign anyone given our strikers are absolute donkeys.

His wages will be served far better elsewhere.

RTR that's a wild take considering mccausland is terrible, yet better than those 2 mentioned.

2012 has broken so many of you. No standards whatsoever.

Mcburnie would be a very good signing for us, bullies defences and would score 20+ goals, he'll also fight to the death for us.

Good point true blue it really boils down to recruitment, we need to focus on ourself and get our recruitment right.

It’s not hard to figure out Paul.

If true lunny can go why did we offer him a contract. Imo shankland is a good striker and could for a front 2 with danilo that would score plenty but I'm not sure PC rates him.

Paddy McNair and McBurnie are the definition of "English free championship dross".

The model that any non short sighted fans are desperate to get away from.

Beyond useless.

I also highly doubt Phillipe Clement, Nils Koppen and our new chief scout will be after championship jobbers.

They're already miles ahead financially. We can also still make the CL ourselves finishing 2nd.

I agree with Paul. We are certainly not that far behind.

27.) 20 Apr 2024

There is also a limot as to what kind of player will sign to the spl, they will have wage caps etc, they are not going to be signing 20m players on 60k a week, it will still be 4-7m players on 30kish. Our squad if fit would be able to win this current season, we need to get 2 fit players for each position, win our home old firm games and we will be right up there.

Copland, I agree in terms of the player acquisition that principally we are talking about players in the £4m - £7m bracket, most likely with a wage ceiling of £30k although I would also add one or two experienced players brought in on Bosmans.
For that reason the acquisitions must be the right fit for the squad, the manager's playing style and the league.
You also need money in reserve in case of need.
I would suggest that historically with a prime emphasis on the Wilson years, we did not have that and we are now playing catch up. Indeed I would go as far as saying that the year we won the league we started to go backwards because we failed to invest in a winning team, we sold the good young players that we had previously brought in and we did not replace them with a similar or better quality.
We need fresh investment and new blood in the Boardroom to complement an excellent CEO and in my opinion an excellent management team on the playing side. Otherwise nothing will change, Clement won't hang around to see his credibility destroyed and the support will become even more restless than we are at present.
I would like to think that Bennett has a plan, otherwise I'm not sure why he would come onboard full time as Chairman. Only time will tell.
