R. I. P David Hagen one of our own ❤️🤍💙.



24 Jul 2020 23:49:37
Very very sad.



25 Jul 2020 09:43:50
Terrible news about David Hagen. Gone too soon. I was lucky enough to be at Falkirk at the same time as Hagey for a couple of years and he was a great player and a great guy. He was great with all of the young guys like myself on the YTS and spent a lot of time with us trying to improve us. He was such a funny and whitty guy with a big heart. RIP Hagey.



25 Jul 2020 14:40:41
Terribly sad news. RIP.



25 Jul 2020 13:46:25
My thoughts go out to David Hagen's family. MND is a terrible disease which took my brother in law in 2002 after 5 years of brave battle. RIP David Hagen.



24 Jul 2020 22:05:06
Hearing some very sad news that former rangers player david hagen has so sadly passed away, from this terrible disease MND! 😞I pass my sincere condolences on to all davie's family and friends, god bless every one of you 🙏God bless davie hagen and sleep tight with the angels. Another taken way too soon and still young, RIP davie hagen 🙏🙏.



24 Jul 2020 22:25:56
Terrible and Sad News Coops. My thoughts are with David’s family at this time. Smashing player.



24 Jul 2020 22:39:17
Here here SGL very sad news tonight RIP.



24 Jul 2020 22:47:30
Absent friends 🍺.



24 Jul 2020 23:00:15
Well said SGL, a great loss and a very sad time. My thoughts also for all his family and friends. U.



24 Jul 2020 23:10:34
So sad R I P.



24 Jul 2020 23:23:02
Very sad news indeed, condolences to all the family, RIP David.



24 Jul 2020 23:35:15
Im at that point of my life where instead of things given to you things get taken away in the form of your: Grans, Grandads, Aunties and Uncles. Its a sad but an inevitable part of life. I try to remember the good times and to enjoy my life going foreword but find it difficult at times. At the moment like no doubt a number of posters are going through their own set of bad news, we are trying to come to terms with the news a close family member has days/ weeks left and has been keeping it behind closed doors since early 2020 and is now a shock to all but I won't judge, until your in that that position you don't know what you would do.



25 Jul 2020 00:52:35
yes sgl, no words.



24 Jul 2020 21:45:08
A lot of folk on here saying (without seeing him play) that Balugan will be 4th choice defender. I disagree, I can see him playing alongside Goldson as first choice. Let’s see!



24 Jul 2020 21:55:08
Muppet, in absence of Helander I think you could be correct.



24 Jul 2020 22:03:32
Hes barely kicked a ball in 3 years and we are a step up from wigan.



24 Jul 2020 22:28:55
Very decent addition, good experience and has good turn of pace.



24 Jul 2020 22:40:17
Sons of struth according to Wigan fans he has been great for them and the championship is a better stronger league than the spfl.



24 Jul 2020 23:20:27
Sonoftruth I've never heard of this lad but you say he hasn't played for 3 years and we got him for free, doesn't sound that great then. So what's the reason he hasn't played for 3 years? Has he been injured or is he mince? As I say I've never heard of him.



24 Jul 2020 23:24:32
You don't get 32 caps with the Super Eagles if you are not good.



24 Jul 2020 23:35:05
Irvger, Efe Ambrose has 50 caps.



24 Jul 2020 23:49:58
So why he not played for 3 years apparently ? Only asking, as I've said I've never heard of him.



25 Jul 2020 03:10:50
We are his 9th club in 13 seasons. The apitomy of a journeyman.



25 Jul 2020 09:22:38
He was at Brighton to be fair was probably back up never broke into 1st team picture went on loan to Wigan where he was a stand out performer in Wigans eyes still lacks match sharpness and the season is a week away but i hope he steps up to the challenge.



25 Jul 2020 07:56:45
Most of the Nigerian International Team would walk into the Scotland Team if available, so, Balugan, and yes, Effe Ambrose, are in reality probably better players than anything in Scotland, just my opinion. I prefer also to trust our Manager and wait and see him play before commenting, I said in a post a while back, that I was at Rugby Park the day Colin Jackson made his Rangers debut in a 2-0 defeat, he got pelters that day, but, look how turned out.



25 Jul 2020 08:27:49
J1985
I've been saying on the rumours site that he is a poor signing and been slaughtered. Some folk on here are blinded. We keep buying guys coming to the end of thier career, all be it greegs is different. We bought Defoe and Davis. Both done well but are prone to injury. Look at Defoe. Out already. Being saying it for months. We need more youth and energy in our side. Our young guys have no chance. Then folk say "oh but thier not good enough for the first team" well when are they going to be food enough? Never? We've bought journey men since getting dumped in to Div 3. Sorry rant over.



25 Jul 2020 08:57:20
He doesn't need to be better than Katic etc ut needs to be better than Brophy, Watt, etc etc.



25 Jul 2020 10:43:23
The lad has played 3 competitive matches in last 10 days, should be match fit and available for selection immediately.



25 Jul 2020 11:12:14
As1974
I've not seen him play, anyone who says they have is talking nonsense and as for trusting the manager on signings, there isn't one at the club right now, with the exception of Arfield and McGregor, that has turned out a huge success in his two seasons. Gredza, Jones, Davis, Ojo, Worrall, Sadiq and Barker have all been pretty poor signings. Goldson, Kamara and Defoe haven't been consistent enough and both Goldson and Kamara have made horrendous mistakes to cost us important matches last season. Helander can't be judged as he hasn't played enough football, Kent hasn't done it (yet), Aribo falls into the same category, Hagi has pass Marks this far and Katic too, Barasic has had a good half season and needs to improve on where he left off before lockdown. The crown jewel of our team is a Pedro signing (Morelos) which is mind boggling considering the time and money Gerrard has had.



24 Jul 2020 21:43:50
Question chaps, who do you think our first choice keeper will be this season? Without a doubt McGregor is class but McLaughlin is certainly pushing for that no 1 spot. What I've seen of him he may deserve it. What's your thought lads? Is Gerrard undecided ?



24 Jul 2020 21:53:27
The Stuck, I agree, he has looked top class so far albeit in empty stadiums where AM has proved his worth for years.
IF ever we get back to normal I think he will definitely be no1 eventually.



24 Jul 2020 21:54:27
I said it last year that McGregor has lost his vavavoom. This year he should start as 1st choice but will have to be 100% to retain his place.

I think age and arthritis may have caught up with him.



24 Jul 2020 21:59:13
Stuck, believe McLaughlin is slightly ahead of McGregor. Someone on here said he is what McGregor was 5 years ago and kind of agree with that. Age and ailments catching up with McGregor I’m afraid and I love the guy.



24 Jul 2020 23:08:33
Yeh, McGregor has been great but I did notice a bit of slacking last season, his kick outs were sometimes a bit rash which resulted in him giving the ball away or kicking it out of play. I also noticed he was losing the rag a little ( that's maybe down to frustration as he was watching the players in front of him under perform ) I don't think McGregor will be automatically 1st choice keeper. Healthy competition though, that might spur McGregor on.



24 Jul 2020 23:25:57
Alan is the No 1 it's up the McLaughlan to depose him.



25 Jul 2020 09:21:21
McGregor is Rangers goalie and only a minor injury is stopping him from taking part in pre season games. Gerrard is in no way undecided lol. I’ve been impressed with McLaghlin tho and if and when he gets the no1 jersey it will then be his to lose .



25 Jul 2020 10:17:48
Same here Irvger its Greegs jersey and we’ve got a capable deputy waiting.



25 Jul 2020 11:41:23
McGregor is having ongoing issues with his physical fitness.



25 Jul 2020 12:27:31
Bankie his issue is severe arthritis of hands and wrist. This is why he stopped playing for Scotland.



24 Jul 2020 20:40:46
I think Rangers are in as good a place to challenge this season as they've been in a long time. There is no doubt the jersey is a heavy one for some players to wear and a seasons experience means a hell of a lot. Guys like Aribo, Kent, Edmondson and Kamara have had a full season now to acclimatise to playing at this level.

The biggest question to ask is the Alfredo Morelos one. There's no doubt there is a brilliant player in there and when on form you wouldn't change him for anyone. Problem is when that form dips or he's suspended. My view is if we get an offer upwards of £15m we accept it and try to bring in 2 more strikers to vie with Defoe for a starting berth.

At the moment the rest of the 11 pick themselves with the exception of the centre of defence. Goldson is a must starter, which might not meet universal approval with a choice of 3 now to choose from. A couple more bodies in the door in the next few months and I really expect us to go close this year. Let's get behind them and cheer them on to 55!



24 Jul 2020 22:44:30
Defoe will not be a 1st team starter he doesn’t do enough running to play that all season great of the bench or coming in for the odd game here and there but that’s it.
If fredo goes we need one striker that’s straight in and another that will be different from Defoe.



24 Jul 2020 23:36:29
One more striker needed.



24 Jul 2020 20:29:23
Hi guys, first time poster. Seen a few comments about balogun signing. I’m sure a lot of supporters felt the same way when bougherra and weir were signed and look how they turned out. So let’s get behind the big guy and give him a chance and a warm welcome when he plays.



24 Jul 2020 21:37:27
Blue monkey, totally disagree regarding Davy Weir, he came with a big reputation and left with a huge reputation so do know what your thinking.



24 Jul 2020 22:45:20
The stuck the blue monkey is correct a lot of people writing the guy off and never seen him play it’s ridiculous.



24 Jul 2020 23:33:24
Kja9, I'm not commenting on Balogun because I've never heard of him. He was commenting on Weir which I corrected and stated he came to Rangers with a big reputation and left with a huge reputation.



25 Jul 2020 08:45:07
The stuck a lot of people were writing off Weir because of age likewise Christian Daily.



24 Jul 2020 19:55:56
I know a few including Coop and myself have said big Dykes could do a job for us but reading today they want £2million or he won't be allowed to move. I don't believe for a minute that a club like Livi have nocked back £1million from Barnsley and as far as I am concerned in a C.V. transfer price the deal is now dead and the guy is worth £600k at a push!



24 Jul 2020 20:09:15
Like yourself yately01,i rate big dykes and really think he would be a really good signing for, but i agree with you and here comes the BUT. I also wouldn't pay livingston £2million for him and also taking into account he's going into the last year of his contract. I've said all along that i would pay 750k max with maybe add ons taking it up to the £1million through time!



24 Jul 2020 20:27:12
SGL, you are torturing yourself my friend. Lyndon Dykes is not coming to Rangers. Get over it and move on.



24 Jul 2020 21:05:14
SGL once again I’ll point out to u dykes contract expires 31/ 5/ 22.



24 Jul 2020 21:19:14
Yes my mistake John25,big dykes still has 2 years to run on his livi contract 👍.



24 Jul 2020 21:38:33
Hmm I rate the guy but only value him at £750k. Is that not a contradiction in terms?



24 Jul 2020 22:32:12
Well The Muppet, i Certainly wouldn't be paying £2million for big dykes!
Overpriced at that for me.



24 Jul 2020 22:47:52
Did SGL get something wrong 🙈

We will never get him for under a million just can’t see it.
We are wanting top dollar for our players but when it comes to other teams players we want them for less because of C.V. the mind boggles it really does.
Some people on here are really mental.



24 Jul 2020 23:28:49
We certainly need to sign someone, I really think Alfie will move on.



24 Jul 2020 23:47:20
Just wondering guys when was the last time we actually sold someone.



25 Jul 2020 09:47:40
The stuck from what i've heard lyndon dykes will be signing for rangers.



25 Jul 2020 08:46:53
We sold polster a few weeks ago 🤔.



25 Jul 2020 09:00:24
Did the VAT on transfers drop when the other drop was announced?
This would bump up the available £££££ so prices could increase without it costing the buyers more.



25 Jul 2020 13:44:06
Polster 300k.



25 Jul 2020 16:59:45
Oh how did i miss that polster sale 300k i meant actually made any money.
how to you get those emojis not very c savvy on technology.



24 Jul 2020 19:43:48
Fantastic comment by Balogun about "the Hammer" in is first interview.



24 Jul 2020 20:28:26
Bankie, what was his comment my friend ?



24 Jul 2020 20:52:18
Stuck, says his best friend back in Germany was big fan of Albertz and goes on to reference “The Hammer”.



24 Jul 2020 19:40:42
Any update on the Defoe injury and when likely to be fit for selection?



24 Jul 2020 20:31:04
Bankie, haven't heard anything about Defoes injury. Good and bad news I suppose. Good news is he's remarkably fit for his age bad news is, doesn't matter what age you are, the older you are the longer the recovery.



24 Jul 2020 16:55:59
Bangolum?

Really?

Did not see that one coming!

Underwhelmed?

By a country mile!



24 Jul 2020 17:13:39
Who would you prefer for fourth choice CB that will be happy as a squad option while Katic is out?



24 Jul 2020 17:31:29
Underwhelmed by a 32 times capped Nigerian international defender? Can we maybe let him play for a wee while before passing opinions
On a lighter note anyone wanting full intimate details on the new guy head to Celtic rumours they’ll be on the case by now.



24 Jul 2020 18:00:06
welcome to the warlord!



24 Jul 2020 18:25:07
Honestly Blue blue sea, i totally agree pal, as some of our supporters are just not real, they can't be. Give the guy a chance will you!



24 Jul 2020 18:26:36
Logged in.
Read first post.
Sighs.
Logs straight back out🤦‍♂️.



24 Jul 2020 18:32:44
listen guys i don't know much about the guy but my wee mate that works with me is a wigan season ticket holder and he reckons the guy is absolutely fantastic, so maybe a wee bit less negativity.



24 Jul 2020 19:03:28
Give the boy a chance who were you expecting true blue? Ramos.



24 Jul 2020 19:36:13
The poor guy hasn’t even seen Ibrox yet and some of our fans have got him down as a dud. Welcome to Ibrox big man.



24 Jul 2020 19:47:27
We should probably have went for laporte and pique, maybe folk would be happy 👍embarrassing some of the reactions on here.



24 Jul 2020 20:23:50
Here here jaws. I totally welcome big leon balogun to rangers the most successful institution on the planet! I for one totally back the big centre half and i give him my support 💯%! He's left footed i believe so that gives us good balance in our centre half area again, with our other left footed centre half big filip helander injured. Big balogun also seemingly has a turn of pace, so this could be a very good, astute signing for us.
Thats us got 3 right footed centre halfs and 2 left footed centre halfs, when big katic comes back 👍👌.



24 Jul 2020 23:33:51
well said sgl he has my 100% backing to just like the rest of the squad. wrtp.



24 Jul 2020 16:55:28
Centre half cover sorted now wee really need/ should have another striker signed before the sheep game imo.



24 Jul 2020 17:29:22
I would normally say, we're in bother if Morelos gets injured. A fantastic goal scorer of late but we have others who have stepped up and scored pre season. Yes Defoe got 1, Morelos scored a penalty against Hamilton. Am i bovered, a little.



24 Jul 2020 19:48:12
Defoe injured as well tho. Definitely a bit light up top.



24 Jul 2020 23:38:01
I agree sir walter and i just can't see past kemar roofe i may be totally wrong but i just believe we going to sign him, not so sure it will be this week though.



24 Jul 2020 15:22:53
Always willing to give new signings a chance but try googling the new lad "leon balogun Madagascar" Doesn't exactly fill me with hope.



24 Jul 2020 15:40:29
Cth. Try googling butcher. Gough terry van dyke et al everyone makes a mistake in career.
Read Klopp about the lad, I take his view before yours pal.



24 Jul 2020 15:40:35
Aye because any player that has ever made a single error in their footballing career deserves to be written off immediately 👍.



24 Jul 2020 16:53:33
Jurgen klopp seems to think he's good player that's good reference for what's likely to be 4th choice centre half welcome to most successful club in world leon balogun.



24 Jul 2020 17:13:06
Some on here are unbelievable, so they are! Give the guy a chance cthulu bear! Because he's not a familiar name to some, doesn't mean he'll not be a good signing for us.
Like John25,i read what jurgen klopp said about leon balogun and he spoke highly of the centre half 👌! It was also good to hear ross wilson saying rangers had tied the signing of balogun up, before we left for the tournament in france, but kept it from the press and everyone else for that matter, allowing balogun to concentrate finishing the season with wigan! Just goes to show how professional our club is in keepin'
deals quiet, until we have the deal done 👍The media hadn't a clue we were signing balogun and haven't a clue who we're chasing which pleases me as a rangers supporter, greatly 😁.



24 Jul 2020 17:38:48
Best defender in championship according to Wigan scout.



24 Jul 2020 17:54:54
One thing I can absolutely 100% tell you, he’ll be better than Katic in his current condition.



24 Jul 2020 19:49:21
The media doesny know nothing, but all your pals at the academy do coops 😂😂😂😂.



24 Jul 2020 20:25:42
Superb Herewego55,i appreciated that 😂😂.



24 Jul 2020 20:47:10
Sorry big chap, couldn't resist 🤷‍♂️ all in jest mate lol.



24 Jul 2020 14:19:50
I wish everyone at St Mirren all the best and hope every member of staff is ok.



24 Jul 2020 15:21:01
How auld they r fine only one tested positive they got six results wrong.



24 Jul 2020 15:34:11
False positive results.



24 Jul 2020 16:17:18
Or ther denying that ony 1 te sted positive so they don't have to go into lockdown cause that would finish them.



24 Jul 2020 13:15:32
Leon balogun in as back up CH now c'mon rangers announce a RW and a striker today.



24 Jul 2020 14:12:32
Why today? Do you think we just walk into a shop and buy them?



24 Jul 2020 14:17:15
Hope we wore a mask lol.



24 Jul 2020 14:54:11
Time is running out that's why today. Aberdeen away next week and we have 1 striker who is at best 35% fit.



24 Jul 2020 15:35:28
Hopefully a striker will be signed shortly guys 🙏. I know a few on here wanted us to sign flo kamberi, but that's not going to happen! He's away over to switzerland to finalise a deal to st. gallen. There's also interest from 2 other swiss clubs,
YBB and basel. I must admit i'm not in the least perturbed, that we're not signing kamberi. He was decent for us and that was it for me, but i still wish him well with his new club👍. I've nothing against kamberi, i just didn't think he was good enough to what we need in a striker atm.



24 Jul 2020 17:25:22
He was never of the standard required SGL but we need someone.



24 Jul 2020 11:39:48
Hi
I really like the way Rangers are playing at this moment and I absolutely love the way Celtic are playing even more.

Celtic fans can't be happy the way things are going, even if Lennon thinks every is fine.

The only thing that worries me is the way Morelos is playing, he needs to scores goals soon, or he will suffer with confidence issues when we need him most.

Time will tell but I trust Gerrard and he should know how things are with him.

We need a back up Striker just in case.



24 Jul 2020 12:06:45
Don't get carried away by how they are playing. PSG are no Motherwell. My worry is they can just spend 7/ 8 million on a top quality player.



24 Jul 2020 12:27:28
Did we not make that mistake last season by writing lennon of even b4 he had been in charge of a game. Came back to bite us big time.



24 Jul 2020 12:39:01
Pre season means nothing it’s only to get guys fitter so I don’t think it matters that much in my opinion next Saturday is the 1st big test against the sheep and 3 points is all that matters.



24 Jul 2020 12:51:16
Goes for nothing at the moment. Its the league and Cup that's matter. Who cares about septic.



24 Jul 2020 13:27:45
Southend I would be very surprised if they spent anywhere near 7/ 8 million on a player, They have to keep funds for a bigger issue Tick Tock 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇦🇺⚽️😎👍.



24 Jul 2020 13:34:47
Come on folks, let's worry about ourselves and not look at that mob. We made that mistake last season (myself included) that Lennon was our best signing - look how that came back to bite us.



24 Jul 2020 11:39:08
Seeing that some St Mirren players have tested positive for C.V.. Is this going to delay the new campaign?



24 Jul 2020 14:03:50
It's not the players it's the backroom staff.



24 Jul 2020 14:04:34
As where u read that. No player has tested positive. Seven of coaches alledgedy tested positive.
Now reporting only one tested positive other six were mistakes, that is more worrisome.



24 Jul 2020 18:12:10
That's the bit I don't understand. If a team get a test of 9 players say positive that morning and can't play. Are those games rearranged? Are a team awarded points? I know us and some of the other bigger clubs have a large pool of players. But what if a team is short? I really don't think the spfl or SFA have thought this through.



24 Jul 2020 11:28:03
I just read on the BBC that we fielded 9 players against Scumdee United that were not C.V. cleared.
I want to get back to the games however we clearly have morons in charge of organising stuff at our club and they embarrass us. We are meant to be professional, if this is the case we need to sack the responsible individual that's making us look like Glasgow Mickey Mouse and not the famous Glasgow Rangers. Mistakes like that are no on. The Scottish Government could end up on our case, I am shocked.



24 Jul 2020 14:20:10
Nice piece of fishing, Chooks, glad to see no real supporters took the bait.



24 Jul 2020 17:23:44
I wonder which one of the usual suspects you are 🤔.



24 Jul 2020 17:42:14
Yeh chooks, you read that hot from the press, the daily rebel.
Sk must be true😅🤣😂.



24 Jul 2020 18:13:50
It's just a report handed to SFA to see that all players came back negative. Don't let 'them' twist the facts.



24 Jul 2020 11:01:02
Rangers will sign Leon Balagun as cover for Katic. Nigerian international brought up in Germany, who is leaving Wigan and will join on a free.



24 Jul 2020 11:26:04
Hope not. No more journey men.



24 Jul 2020 11:49:21
Will only be in to boost numbers until katic back fit. Wont play.



24 Jul 2020 12:48:58
Why sign him then? Total waste of money if that's the case.



24 Jul 2020 15:00:43
Leon Balagun comes with good pedigree. Over the past couple of matches i think its highlighted how much we need another CB due to katic long term injury, the lack of Helander appearances and cover incase goldson picks up a knock. I think Belagun will likely play beside goldson at the start of the season as i rate him more than edmundson from what I've seen.



24 Jul 2020 17:25:21
Shored up Wigan's defence with 5 recent clean sheets. Decent signing. Big lad who will not be bullied. Only 32 and a free agent.



24 Jul 2020 18:16:17
Seeker. I know only reading about new ch, I suspect he won’t be fourth choice, I have worries re helander fitness.



24 Jul 2020 19:52:19
And if the reaction of Wigan fans is anything to go by, I think it may be him and goldson. Big edmundson still looks a bit like he's got a howler in him for me.



24 Jul 2020 23:24:56
Well go55 i can't believe you just said that its exactly what my wee mate {wigan season ticket holder]said to me said he's even better than goldson although ill wait and see on that one.

What other striker we've been linked too can get us 30+ goals in a season. I couldn't name you one. No Alfie no title.



24 Jul 2020 11:05:19
Agreed.



24 Jul 2020 11:15:31
Vydra and few others i think could. Keeping in mind there playing in scottish football.



24 Jul 2020 11:28:19
Shankland could and will prove it again.



24 Jul 2020 11:33:04
Dykes won’t get us 30+ goals, however, he would get 20+ I reckon and be a good fit for the 3 in behind him. The balls flung into the box by both Barasic and Tav would provide him with plenty of chances and likewise fir Hagi, Kent and Aribo (who I reckon will really step up this year) on second balls. It would give us another option esp now we are getting balls into box from lots of different angles compared to last year and the interchanging of Hagi, Kent and Aribo should lead to a greater goal return from midfield. I’d happily not have a 30+ CF for a better spread of goals throughout the team.



24 Jul 2020 12:33:27
How many goals did Alfie score in the friendlys so far.

If we can get goals other than wi Alfie in the domestics we should be OK surely, although he has played well so far.



24 Jul 2020 10:47:59
Just read the paper and Aberdeen are cutting all salaries for players earning 30k and above by 20%. There is a good opportunity to grab some players on the cheap. We could Nab McKenna, Ferguson and Cosgrove. Offer the sheep 6 Million for the lot and that's our problems fixed.



24 Jul 2020 11:17:01
failing to see how that would sort are probs? We need 3 players that will improve the starting 11. None of them are the answer. Mckenna also has zero interest in joining us. Tims only side he would go to but prefers move south.



24 Jul 2020 13:59:08
Aberdeen won’t let them go on the cheap I don’t think especially to us.



24 Jul 2020 14:22:47
Another nice try at the fishing, Chooks! Only Paul bit this time, so you reeled one in, you old timmy you!



24 Jul 2020 17:26:47
Earning over 30k at the sheep! 😂😂😂😂.



24 Jul 2020 10:27:19
I Hope Alfie stays. Without him we can kiss league goodbye.



24 Jul 2020 10:35:48
Yeah Alfie from last year. Not this new one that's appeared.



24 Jul 2020 10:36:10
The one post Xmas is shocking.



24 Jul 2020 10:36:23
And Xmas was 7 months ago.



24 Jul 2020 12:17:44
Looks like Morelos has zero interest in being here from what I’ve seen so far this season
Hopefully the real Morelos shows up soon
Love to see him getting a few against Coventry on Saturday 🙏🙏.



24 Jul 2020 15:44:31
This season? You mean 3 pre season friendlies? 🤔.



24 Jul 2020 23:28:07
put kemar roofe in there with hagi kent and aribo kammara and jack in midfield and we will have no problems against the anti football teams.



24 Jul 2020 10:25:33
If we want to maintain this challenge I think we need 3 players to walk into our first team.
A right back. Tav just can't defend and lost us to many goals last season. Going forward he is decent but he is first and foremost a defender so I would buy quality to replace him
Centre mid as Davis has passed it. We need a box to box midfielder dynamo. Davis will be good to keep around and do coaching but to maintain a sustainable challenge we need more in the middle of the park.
Upfront speaks for itself. We are light. Alfredo is as reliable as a chocolate fireguard. We need a couple in and we will be sweet
Goalie I am happy with. 2 good keepers.



24 Jul 2020 10:32:32
I think Tav is a weak link. Never a captain and SG should have sorted that.
Agreed with 3 players. Another 1 possibly 2 strikers, a defence splitting MF passer of the ball with energy and a RB.



24 Jul 2020 10:50:45
Yip Tav is the weakest link down that side and teams know that. Plus he is certainly not worthy of captain. Unfortunately stubborn Gerrard has his favourites and won't change anything.



24 Jul 2020 10:54:32
Id like to see Tavernier as a RW and as part of the RM in a 442 or 352.



24 Jul 2020 11:07:58
I had hoped that Docherty might have been the energetic midfielder we need, strong and young. Unless we spend large amounts of money (these days are gone aren't they? ) why settle for bang average players like Cosgrove, McKenna and Dykes? Better to promote one or two youngsters and give them a chance, like Barjonas and Patterson.



24 Jul 2020 11:25:56
Why sons? He can't cross either👍.



24 Jul 2020 11:51:50
Same old Tav bashing.

We conceded the same number of goals as the champions and yet it is our defence that is blamed.

We lost the league because we didn’t score enough goals especially from midfield.

Face the facts and support our captain.



24 Jul 2020 12:30:22
We need a right winger beforw a right back or a centre mid am afraid.



24 Jul 2020 12:31:06
docherty not even close to being good enough.



24 Jul 2020 10:09:09
New season nearly here and I am excited. I hope we can maintain a challenge this year. The manager needs to sell Alfredo get the cash and get someone else in. He is too unreliable. How many goals has he scored in last 6 months. Not many. I watched the Motherwell game and he was running about like a headless chicken. I would definitely get Sykes signed and try and loan a premier League striker that's down the pecking order at a big club. There are plenty 20-30 million players bench warming in EPL and the unwashed have been doing it with success.



24 Jul 2020 10:30:14
Eric Sykes would crack us up.



24 Jul 2020 10:53:35
Eric Sykes - The Plank. A classic. The younger generation won't get this one.



24 Jul 2020 11:09:36
Yes, and sign Hattie Jacques as well. She'd do well in the centre of defence along side Eric. You're right The Stuck, anyone below the age of 60 won't get it!



24 Jul 2020 17:29:14
Need to dig them up first.
