Ok fellow bears we'll presume the rumours to be true and we sign both midfielders from everton and norwich city respectively, tom davies and todd cantwell ? Is it just me as i can't see at this moment in time any of these 2 midfielders, going straight into our starting 11 and as beale did say the 2 or 3 player's he's currently talking to are players who will go into our starting 11 ? Assuming that it may not be davies and cantwell we're trying/ going to sign afterall ?Thoughts guys ?.

If we are working in the free transfer market only we will decline as squad imo.

I can’t imagine anyone going straight into our starting 11 but his aim will be to blend them in over time or the games of the players in the side now raise to a level that keeps them out, he did say about having to equally strong 11 which will create very healthy comp for places and they fight for the jerseys, can only do that by bringing players at least as good as what’s in there already, and younger. They both fall into that for me.

I think they would. no reason why not. Our midfield been hopless this year.

SWS Cantwell is an interesting one he was highly regarded when Norwich were in the EPL and had a good season with them. Seems to have lost his way recently. If he was coming in he plays left of midfield so I would think a replacement for Kamara. Is he any better, not sure ? If Beale can get him rediscovering his form we could get a really good player.


5.) 08 Jan 2023

Both of them will be in our team.


6.) 08 Jan 2023

I'd have to say I can't see Davies being a starter, if we get the Cantwell of 2 years ago he would be a starter but he's been a shadow of that player recently. I do hope it's that Willock as it's clear we need more wingers and he looks a good shout for a relatively low fee. Would also take that Algerian boy we were looking at but hopefully we don't have long to wait till we find out.

They could go straight into 11 if we are to sell a few mid? kamara jack arfield and with hagi davis out injured.


8.) 08 Jan 2023
08 Jan 2023 10:20:04
Cantwell can’t get in the worst Norwich side for years which is worrying.


9.) 08 Jan 2023
08 Jan 2023 10:24:49
Sweep so replacing Jack and Arfied with better younger players is going back the way? Jack Arfied out Davies Cantwell in does it matter they will be out of contact? you lose me on most of your posts.

Our midfield has been horrendous all season why do our fans act like you need to be pogba to walk into our ageing midfield.


11.) 08 Jan 2023
08 Jan 2023 10:35:57
Don’t see why they can’t.


12.) 08 Jan 2023
08 Jan 2023 10:40:11
There is nothing to lose you with Beale, if we continue to work with free transfers only Rangers will decline as a team. I honestly don't know how that is hard to understand. Proper money needs spent on this team and filling it up with free transfers won't cut it imo.


13.) 08 Jan 2023

Storm there was lads wanting and 5 year past it aaron ramsey. can't be any worse than him.


14.) 08 Jan 2023
08 Jan 2023 10:55:07
So replacing them with better younger players is the step up for me, but because there cost zero money there not good enough for you, both are valued at over 10m but because we got them for free there not good enough deary dear sweep.


15.) 08 Jan 2023
08 Jan 2023 10:55:12
Agree sweep.


16.) 08 Jan 2023
08 Jan 2023 11:00:05
Cantwell and Davies would be great players for us.


17.) 08 Jan 2023
08 Jan 2023 11:01:47
What part of my post did I say they are not good enough? I said if this is our transfer policy in general we will suffer. Again its my opinion yes we might get one or two good free transfers but we require money spent on this team or we will decline. Again this is my opinion your opinion seems to be your happy to spend 600 bucks on a season book to watch a team of free transfers which is fine by me if your happy. As I said I'm not happy with it and I don't see the problem here.


18.) 08 Jan 2023

Well sweep replacing older player's with better younger player's even tho they cost zero cash will do for me.


19.) 08 Jan 2023
08 Jan 2023 11:11:42
Sweep absolutely nonsense. Lundstram free and is our best midfielder. Spending money doesn't always work. So do we leave rankin if he's a free? The thing about free transfers is if it doesn't work its not a great financial loss. Have some optimism and stop being negative!


20.) 08 Jan 2023
08 Jan 2023 11:11:59
Sweep what about our final appearance in Europe, we got to a final in Europe with a squad we got put together for under 15m.


21.) 08 Jan 2023
08 Jan 2023 11:20:04
Sweep is spot on, we can't rely soley on free transfers if we want to progress. We need to spend to progress and compete.


22.) 08 Jan 2023
08 Jan 2023 11:23:09
Jon Lundstram has been got for 6 months between Jan and June of this season. He was rubbish the 1st 6 months and his standards have dropped the 1st 6 months of this season.


23.) 08 Jan 2023
08 Jan 2023 11:24:49
Kirkcaldyloyal there's nothing really to be positive about we are 12 points behind celtic in a 2 horse race. Rangers fans standards have dropped over the years imo.


24.) 08 Jan 2023
08 Jan 2023 11:29:34
If Kent and Morelos don't sign new contracts they will be available to other teams as a free. Sometimes decent players just reach the end at a club and go elsewhere. To think they're not good because they're a free is wrong in my view.


25.) 08 Jan 2023
08 Jan 2023 11:30:45
King Charlie if we bring in better younger players that will do for me, i doesn't matter to me how much we paid for them along as they make our team stronger.


26.) 08 Jan 2023
08 Jan 2023 11:33:42
I'm not happy with our current position and lundstram yes hasn't been on form it happens. He has also had injuries he has played through. Say we are going to buy tillman that's money we'll spent and I think we will. Also in my opinion the leagues not over yet. Also we spent apparently 7 on yilmaz 4 on Davies 2 on colak and only one has been a hit so far. So spending does not always work does it?


27.) 08 Jan 2023
08 Jan 2023 11:39:19
So basically our midfield 3 will be Lundstram (a free from Sheffield utd) Davies (a player who can't get in a bottom 6 EPL club) and Cantwell ( a player that can't get in the Norwich side) Celtic must be quaking in their boots for next season.


28.) 08 Jan 2023
08 Jan 2023 11:44:34
Cantwell and Davies could be very good signings and for free would be great business - hope it is true.


29.) 08 Jan 2023
08 Jan 2023 11:44:53
Colak is the best 2 million we have spent, just unfortunate for him that we have a manager that prefers his striker to be outside the box rather than inside it scoring goals.


30.) 08 Jan 2023
08 Jan 2023 11:46:53
Paul I ain’t saying he won’t work just a bit worrying that’s all, if we do sign him I hope we see the cantwell of a couple of years ago and we will have a serious player in our hands. A lot of people have been saying the same about Alfredo that you can’t go with that he use to be a player but are quite happy to do it with cantwell and they contradict themselves in doing so.


31.) 08 Jan 2023
08 Jan 2023 11:54:06
I’m actually agreeing with sweep here, to an extent. iF we are looking ONLy at free transfers then we’re really narrowing down the pond in which we’re fishing in for new players, and yes we might unearth a couple of gems. If we do that but also are prepared to spend money too, we’re then fishing in a much bigger pond and have a greater chance of success. I’d hope our signing policy is the latter.


32.) 08 Jan 2023
08 Jan 2023 11:59:21
Sweep let’s try address some of your points

Colak has been injured and like roofe won’t take jags to play, Alf has

Lundstrum valuation 8 million playing with ankle and rib injury
Davies 10 million
Cantwell 8 million. Three seasons ago Liverpool bid 30 million for him, spurs Man U man c Newcastle all wanted him

So represent fantastic business, especially as we need to remain prudent
I’d be delighted if this was our three.


33.) 08 Jan 2023
08 Jan 2023 12:02:10
It's all just press speculation. We do our business in secret and the press just throw names at the wall in the hope one or two will stick. So far I've see us, linked with about fifteen players, Beale says 3 or 4 so most of it is nonsense.


34.) 08 Jan 2023
08 Jan 2023 12:05:04
lundstram was not rubbish for his first 6 months, his quality was clear, he just had to settle in.


35.) 08 Jan 2023
08 Jan 2023 12:21:05
Why would we be looking at only frees alloager? did we not pay cash for player's in the summer? we got to a European final with a team we assembled for under 15m, Lundstram Davies Cantwell would be a great midfield sweep, probably the best we had since our times playing in the lower leagues.


36.) 08 Jan 2023
08 Jan 2023 12:26:35
Who says we are looking at free transfers only? That’s sweep just putting his usual spin on things without fact . Knows nothing .
Also to say manager prefers a striker outside box rather than inside scoring goals is nonsense in my opinion. Apart from the fact Colak has been 1. Injured 2. Had a dip in form last three / four games .
So please don’t start kicking the manager already for no reason
jeezo didn’t take long …. in my opinion.


37.) 08 Jan 2023
08 Jan 2023 12:27:37
We should never discount players at end of contracts - just as other clubs do.
However the right blend of signings should be attempted - ie - few free signings and perhaps then spending some cash on maybe a marquee signing - we are not flush with money and the Jan window is not always where value or quality of players are available so I would rather the right players are sourced if not Jan then summer.
No panic buys please! We can hopefully see our OWN youth given a platform too. blended into the team as required.


38.) 08 Jan 2023
08 Jan 2023 12:37:48
In the end it is all conjecture anyway. Did anybody say that we would only be swimming in the free transfers only pool? If not then everything is hypothetical. People seem to be getting their knickers in a twist about things that may or may not happen. I'll reserve judgement on any signings until they actually sign.


39.) 08 Jan 2023
08 Jan 2023 12:46:49
I’ll also add that anyone signing Kent or Morelos on a free would be getting a great bit of business.


40.) 08 Jan 2023
08 Jan 2023 12:50:54
There's lots of people who put their spin on things on here that as you say know nothing Molsgoals. This is a fans banter page and a forum in which if any fan goes against the wee are the people way of thinking we get abuse for it.

08 Jan 2023 13:18:32
So Raskin is available on a free, fo you think that means we should steer clear. I don't think both cantwell and davies would be signed. 1 or the other but can't see both.


43.) 08 Jan 2023
08 Jan 2023 13:24:07
I think both players would improve our midfield and bring some much needed drive and energy to the middle of the park.

The midfield is the one area of the park we need to improve.


44.) 08 Jan 2023
08 Jan 2023 13:32:22
Sweep3 just think about for a minute mate ?As John27 states in his post above, tom davies was valued at £10million and todd cantwell at the minute valued at £8million which was much more several years ago when a lot of the big guns in england were prepared to pay £30million to sign him ?So if we do manage to sign davies and cantwell and the perform as we know they can, do you not think that's terrific business by our club, i most certainly do because they're both very talented, young midfielders mate ?.


45.) 08 Jan 2023

Correct sws and could be sold for millions in a year or two, I honestly believe sweep just bad months anything Rangers do.


46.) 08 Jan 2023
08 Jan 2023 14:13:35
Sir Walter, Kent and Morelos were valued at 10 and 20m respectively and some folk would get rid for nothing and be happy. Previous values are only a small indicator.
