Rangers Banter Archive July 25 2016

Use our rumours form to send us rangers transfer rumours.

25 Jul 2016 23:29:30
Enjoyed the game tonight not sure about 3 subs at the one time thought kinda lost our way for 10 min, looking forward to the season now can't wait!

25 Jul 2016 23:20:41
Did anybody else think waggy let slip when interviewed about new signings and answered "they will be great to learn from, help us challenge for the title then move onto bigger and better things". I know this is what happens and is football, but surely you don't say it out loud.

26 Jul 2016 00:57:37
I think he was meaning the club playing in Europe next season mate.

25 Jul 2016 22:13:37
Tell you what the manager is going to have a headache picking the starting 11 specially in midfield and up front.

Barton and Kranjcar look like they are going to stroll it up here in Scotland and if both fit should be in starting 11. Also young rossiter looked good in the last 30 minutes not afraid to get stuck in I think he's only going to get better the more he plays. Also windass who didn't feature tonight has caught attention in previous games he's going to be some player as well McKay I think is a no brained def in the starting 11 along with waghorn. So yeah think Barton Kranjcar McKay and waghorn for me should def be in the starting 11 but would like to see rossiter windass and Dodoo get chances. What would fellow gers starting 11 be based on the 4 games in the cup so far.

25 Jul 2016 22:50:57
Don't forget forrester.

25 Jul 2016 23:06:22
Thought Forrester looked lost and poor tonight thought he would be one of the subs.

25 Jul 2016 23:22:06
Just wanted to add, I've been reading some posts about Warbs lookin at some Mids and people sayin that we don't need them, but, Barton and nico are only signed up for two seasons, both may stay for another especially Nico (age) if their fitness levels are good and Barton has said he wants to keep playing for as long as poss. So if Warbs is lookin at Mids especially young players then yeah getting them in the now would be good for development whilst we have these guys or could be loaned out if Warbs thinks that by not moving for the player now would mean losing out on him completely, Timing for some player for us is vital regarding their contracts, that said I really hope we get Stewart at Dundee, not sure about Crawford at Accies? Again if we were to get him on a free maybe worth the gamble, but again the two players who are as far as I'm concerned first picks may only be with us a very short time. Trust In Warbs.

26 Jul 2016 10:51:24
Totally agree OP. Spilt for choice already and another striker still to come.
I don't think we can really say we have a first 11 anymore for all the right reasons.
Only person who seems to be certain of a start is Wallace!

26 Jul 2016 11:21:38
I honestly think Holt and Halliday will be the long term solution for the midfield. This year I think Barton, Rossiter and Niko will start most big games, but I think Halliday and Holt will be rotated with them over the season and when Barton and Niko's career winds down they will be 1st pick again. That's why they got signed to long term deals.
To be fair to Haliday he's looked great in pre season, Holt not so much. I think Holt and Forrester are struggling a bit with all the new competition, but I hope it's just temporary and both can push on and regain last years form in time for the season starting. Both need a goal or something.

25 Jul 2016 22:11:21
Great start to the season but Miller should be used sparingly no matter how well he did last season. His strike rate is relatively poor compared to others. We must go with Waghorn and Dodoo in particular to get the goals and use Kenny as a supersub. We must learn from last season when we had so much possession but didn't always get the goals that deserved. I think the new signings will be great, especially Rossiter, Kranjcar and Windass.

25 Jul 2016 22:03:00
Good performance tonight, kept the ball well and lots of good movement. Think Harry Forrester needs a goal to get his confidence back looked a class act before his injury last season. Can't understand why we bring on Kenny Miller before MOH we all know what Miller brings to the team and MOH has so much pace to burn and against a Stranraer team that's been chasing shadows for 60 minutes it would have been an ideal substitution.

25 Jul 2016 21:50:55
Mariappa could still be on cards to join Rangers
Our games so far have been a canter in the Betfred Cup but our defence will be fully tested against Premiership opposition

In my opinion, we still badly need to build at the back!

25 Jul 2016 23:02:48
It's also the way we play tbh. We are going to give teams chances as we press high and leave the defenders exposed at the back. Don't think it really matters who plays, we are going to lose goals against the better teams. Fine, as long as we score more. Bring it on!

26 Jul 2016 11:11:10
Perfect example was big Nade winning header in our box from a free kick, virtually unchallenged in first minute of the game. Not being picky here because we have looked excellent at times. Its just worrying because I'm certain we'll be going with Keirnan and Wilson again as first choice CHs.

25 Jul 2016 21:49:13
Really happy with the squad, and how it has performed in this league. I know except Motherwell it's been lower league opposition but we've been a joy to watch every game, and for all our moaning about the defence have yet to concede.
Plenty of options everywhere on the park, numerous line ups and yet the quality remains.
Every new player looks as if they've been with us for years, slotting in perfectly. Last years players also seem to have upped their game, we are definitely title contenders with this squad. Anyone who thinks otherwise is deluded.
Special mention for young Rossiter, thought he was magic. What a player this boy is going to be, reminds me of Barry Ferguson the more I see him and looks born to play for us. Tenacious. Him, Barton and Niko will be far too good for Celtic and the rest. The management and FMcP have really done us proud this year, as well as the fans and board for funding it. Delighted!

25 Jul 2016 22:04:07
Agree, the whole squad just just seems to click. I can't wait to see krancjaer when fully fit!

25 Jul 2016 22:10:16
Well said reco, I was totally impressed wi rossiter, I remember seeing gerrard at that age and he was exactly the same, we have a 10 mill plus player on our hands.

25 Jul 2016 22:10:43
Totally agree recbob, we looked great tonight throughout the team with Barton and Nico particularly eye catching. Yes the boy Rossiter looks a find. Great comments from MW post match, he and Sir Davie will be sure to keep our feet on the ground. Total class, this feels good.

25 Jul 2016 22:34:13
Agree recbob - if anything Rossiter was neater and sharper than Barton - could see them both playing in tougher, away games. Starting to see more forward ambition from Halliday too - I really rate Forrester but seems to me that he is in a similar place to where he was after joining last year - maybe trying to hard, everything is a bit desperate - one he scores a couple will be fine - so many good choices to make.

25 Jul 2016 22:03:54
I recon it will be Rossiter Barton and Crooks . Wouldn't like to be Broony Australian Broony or Israeli Broony this year.

25 Jul 2016 23:06:18
Don't care what the dark side say, our midfield is far superior to theirs. And now Rossiter. He certainly looks a real player in the Barry Ferguson mould.

25 Jul 2016 21:38:26
Jordan rossiter impressed in 30 min showing looks a hungry player.

25 Jul 2016 21:54:30
He was switched on and looked a positive player.

Good to get four wins, four clean sheets and ten goals. I would say that's better than playing friendly matches.

The team looks good, each different line up Warburton has played has looked a step up from last season.

25 Jul 2016 21:22:38
Never mind Barton vs Brown. i'm looking forward to seeing Rossiter vs Brown!

25 Jul 2016 21:43:59
The boy looks good and ain't afraid to put a tackle in! I know the opposition ain't great but he looks a hungry lad that wants to impress and his 30mins did impress!

25 Jul 2016 22:06:43
I personally can't wait for the first Old Firm game. The more I see our squad developing the more confident I get that we are shaping up far better than that mob. I just can't see them being able to live with us. Rossiter, Barton and Niko will dominate any Midfield battle and Mckay, Waggy and probably Windass or Doddo will be too hot to handle as a front 3 with that service.
Celtic struggled to contain us last year with Shields in the team, and a 4 man bench made up of boys. This year we are a different animal altogether. I think Rodgers has vastly overrated his squad and his management capabilities. If it was MW going into Celtic this summer he would have had a mass exodus and started from scratch, any decent manager would have. Rodgers seems to think his "genius philosophy" that he's won nothing with and Toure and Sinclair are going to transform Deila's mess into world beaters. I just don't see it.

25 Jul 2016 19:38:54
Anyone else think MW may think that tonights squad may be the strongest line up barring halliday for rossiter?

25 Jul 2016 20:44:52
Forrester wouldn't b in Ma starting line up squad player that's it.

25 Jul 2016 18:56:38
Looking forward to seeing what a midfield of Barton, Krancjar and Halliday can do tonight.

25 Jul 2016 18:31:49
RossW what are you talking about do you think lafferty is worth spending a million on i don't think so and for barton always rated him best signing in a long time so don't be quick have a go at me just think we could do better than lafferty.

25 Jul 2016 18:39:38
Yeah because I was clearly rating them directly on quality and not how they're both notorious arseholes. I didn't actually share my personal opinion on either player so where this fabrication is coming from I don't know if I upset you by sharing my opinion on what I would say is just negativity then you're in the wrong place. The point I'm making is if he comes in and is prolific you won't care anymore and its not like you'll come back on here and apologise. Trust the management team.

25 Jul 2016 19:08:37
I agree. Lafferty is not the answer based on footballing ability. Could only do it first time round when it suited him and buggered off and left us in the lurch along with the others. No thanks.

25 Jul 2016 19:12:03
I agree, no1 will sit on their seats and keep their mouths shuts if he signs and scores goals for fun.

25 Jul 2016 21:39:46
Fat chance of that happening.

25 Jul 2016 23:49:40
For me I really hope Lafferty does not return to Ibrox, but, I a long with the rest WILL support him or anybody that plays for the team. In my opinion the player not only has to show the ability hunger AND score but his signing WILL be looked at differently to say Dodoo's. Due to his past he has a road in front of him with many potholes! IF he doesn't hit the ground running as I don't think he will be given the same time as any other signing, then he will get slaughtered, hell mend him if he misses a sitter! So in my opinion this player would should do himself a favour and stay away from Ibrox, I don't even know if a fee would be involved? I think 3 more in all loans and poss Ball being 1, read on here that Warbs didn't see Ball as a CB as he played DM in games but I think that was due to what we had available, he could and does play CB so getting him in would work, the other 2 I think will be a striker and an AM I think a lefty. All in all I'm really buzzin about the season and look forward to seein Ibrox bouncing.

25 Jul 2016 17:51:19
Kyle lafferty you must be having a laugh don't ever want to see him back at ibrox.

25 Jul 2016 18:00:18
You're the kind of person who said the exact same about Barton before he signed. You can't have it both ways if he's good enough for the gaffer he's more than good enough for me.

25 Jul 2016 18:22:59
Lafferty walked out on us when the brown stuff hit the fan. I don't buy into this 'they've got mortgages and families' stuff. Rangers would easily have sold Lafferty and the rest for 250K or so and recouped some money for the creditors who lost out. Each of them would have been a steal at that price so clubs would defo have bought them. Instead they jumped ship when the club needed them. Now Lafferty wants to come back once the hard work of getting back to the top flight is over? Eff off mate. Wallace stuck with us thru the hard times and helped us back up and will deserve his status of Rangers legend when he hangs up his boots.

25 Jul 2016 19:09:39
Great post Parky. Agree with every word.

25 Jul 2016 20:24:35
You actually think the creditors would of got any of the money from selling the players get a grip green already had the club by the time the players left. He would of took the money.

25 Jul 2016 21:41:41
Got nothing to do with that. Lafferty effed off when he saw the chance. Do you think he knew what would have happened with any transfer fee we got for him? Exactly.

25 Jul 2016 22:18:39
If mw wants him it's fine by me. I'll trust his judgement.

26 Jul 2016 11:09:54
Parky good post mate, we all know the story with lafferty, but in my opinion he done nowt or next to nowt, until he was looking for a new contract, he thought he was brilliant, but my thoughts on his football ability was he was an average player, and is nowhere near good enough for our club, mw won't sign guys like him, because he knows he could upset the apple cart, so i hope to never see him in a rangers shirt again.

25 Jul 2016 17:51:01
I said a few days ago about our young players, if their not really going to have a realistic chance of breaking into the 1st team, then i would get them out on loan to St Mirren so they can put up a serious title challenge and come back to Rangers Winners.
Game Is On Bt Sports Tonight Btw People.

25 Jul 2016 20:08:41
Thats Tom Walsh + Ryan Hardie away to St Mirren Now Btw.

26 Jul 2016 00:02:18
Better to see our players going to same club imo, also always thought it would be a good idea if we could loan our players out abroad, you would think Holland would be the place to go to not just because of distance but style and their history of developing youngsters. I'm sure teams at bottom half of Lge or 2nd div would be ideal, we want our players to get game time and if their knocking on the first team door at Ibrox then should be in with a shout at some of these clubs, that said I hope the lad Issiah comes from Chelsea can't remember who they loaned him out there to but seems to have worked!

25 Jul 2016 16:30:44
Looks like lafferty is going to happen, I do not think he improves our squad at all. Hoping the guy that told me is wrong but he usually isn't.

25 Jul 2016 16:45:28
I think most of us will trust MW and his judgement. If he thinks he can get something out of lafferty then I'll accept that. He may have grown up now, last time round he was a liability and he'll need to do a lot to get the majority of the support onside.

25 Jul 2016 18:10:49
Lafferty is a much better player than 3 years ago! He seems to have sorted his head aswell. If Warbs and Weir say he's worth another punt then I'd give him another chance. At least for him to show us he f****d up last time by leaving.

26 Jul 2016 00:03:32
Is there a fee involved regarding Lafferty?

26 Jul 2016 00:15:49
I don't think he'll improve on our striking options but being 6'6" you'd think he'd add another dimension with an aerial threat, but he can't head the ball. I trust Warbs but I'd give this a body swerve.

25 Jul 2016 16:08:13
My guess for team tonight, haven't been far off with previous 2 games, 1 or 2 players wrong.

Foderingham

Tav, Kiernan, Hill, Hodson

Barton, Holt

Kranjcar

Dodoo, Waghorn, Forrester

Subs,
Rossiter- Barton
Windass- Kranjcar
O'halloran- Forrester.

25 Jul 2016 16:30:56
Rossiter not playing until burnley game I'm sure mate. I'd play dodoo through the middle but him waggy and forrester will probably all rotate during the game.

25 Jul 2016 17:05:44
Mw has already stated that Barton kranjar will start as will waggy.

Foderingham
Tav Hill Wilson Wallace
Barton Halliday
Krancjar
Doodo mackay
Waghorn.

25 Jul 2016 15:34:24
Ryan hardie goes on loan to st. mirren until January, best of luck to him.

25 Jul 2016 15:12:59
Ryan Hardie sent out on loan to St Mirren. This is good news IMO.

I just don't think the timing is right to give young Hardie a chance for us this season, especially since there is lots of competition in the forward areas already and if he couldn't force his way in, would be sitting it out for another season.

This gives him the opportunity to show us what he can do, improve on his strength and match awareness, and help a team expected to do well within the league fight for promotion.

If things go well for him we will be receiving a quality addition to the squad next year.

25 Jul 2016 16:30:27
He'll be like a new signing next season, completely agree.

Should have went to a quality league one English team though. No real quality in St Mirrens league.

But he'll get game time which is ideal and alongside Walsh, they might develop together and be stronger when they return which is all you can ask when sending players out on loan.

25 Jul 2016 13:37:48
Where does Dom Ball play if he signs on loan?

Wasn't good enough for a consistent place at CB last season, so why would he be good enough for that role this season?

There's no way he'd start ahead of Crooks, Rossiter or Barton. So what's the point of a squad filler if he comes in on loan?

If our final two signings are Dom Ball who's best position isn't centre half and someone like Isaiah Brown who's best position isn't centre forward then why say we're after a CB and a ST?

Just say we want one more holding midfielder and another winger. Think we would all agree we have plenty players for those positions.

25 Jul 2016 13:45:57
Spot on thorn76.also we need a striker that al play on shoulder of last defender if that is dodoo remains to be seen.

25 Jul 2016 13:56:56
Dodoo had one half chance in the last game and took it.

Kenny had three decent chances and didn't take one.

Doubt Dodoo will play week in week out but a striker and a defender in before the Burnley game should be a certainty.

25 Jul 2016 15:07:54
Mate he was a LOAN fs not a permanent signing of course our players who are there on contract to our club will get more game time. Dom Ball is a centre back who MW played in midfield, for me has the potential to do anything in football and would certainly add value on a permanent deal and can only get better. For me was the standout unsung hero from the C****c game last year. Extremely versatile knows what Rangers are all about, loves the club I'd take him in a second.

25 Jul 2016 15:18:48
We only have 3 recognised centre backs, of course we need another one in for, at the very least a bit of cover. Dom Ball is at least on the same level as Kiernan and Wilson, so I'd be happy to take him back.

The big thing in a defensive sense was getting some players in who can protect the defence, we have done that in abundance. Now get another CB in to provide competition and cover, and we will be all set.

Before anyone says it, yes Crooks can cover at CB but for me, he is a midfielder. That's the position he played consistently for Accrington and that's the position that earned him a spot in team of the year.

25 Jul 2016 15:40:30
RossW

Everyone would agree Dom Ball has got a lot of quality and huge potential. As for him not playing as much because he was on loan. Don't buy that. If he was a much better defender than the two we have he'd have played week in week out.
He wasn't an unsung hero against Celtic. Everyone is singing his praises mainly for that one performance.

Just2see

Same level as Wilson and Kiernan isn't going to get us anything this season. Competition and cover? When the transfer window opened every fan would agree priority was strengthening the defensive side of our game. Holding mids are great but they'll not do all the defensive work. A quality CB is an absolute must.

25 Jul 2016 15:54:10
Sorry but I think you are underestimating the team. It's our first season back and this year is about bedding ourselves in and obtaining some form of solidarity.

I agree signing a top quality CB would be great, I am personally really disappointed our interest in Toure was unfounded, thought he was exactly what we needed, but that being said I firmly believe we have a team and squad capable of playing most teams in the league off the park this season, and the defence will cope better giving how dominant we will be during the games while still having the players in midfield positions who are capable of putting in a good defensive shift.

A quality CB costs money that we are unlikely to spend, so I think Ball is realistically about as good an option as we can expect this season.

25 Jul 2016 16:26:07
Every part of our team has quality. The midfield is the best in the league by far, no doubt. Plus Waghorn and McKay are showing from early performances this season that they are improving and will be our strongest players on the flanks this year.

Every team sheet put up on most Rangers sites has Waghorn moved up front when his partnership on the right with Tavernier has been terrific. Of course the front three can interchange but a striker of top of the SPFL quality is needed and we don't have that at our club just now, great wingers, great creative players and strong midfielders but a decent front man is required to take that step from comfortable second to finishing ahead of the other side.

Our defence needs to be stronger. Doubtful that we're going to score fours and fives as much this year. Therefore a CB who doesn't break the bank but who's better than Ball, Keirnan, Wilson and Hill should be a priority.

26 Jul 2016 11:02:57
Dom Ball is not considered as a CB or anywhere else. He's not good enough.

25 Jul 2016 12:00:25
Ball or Marriappa are tipped for a move but the striker we are after is an exciting one who is a current international.

More to follow on this.

25 Jul 2016 13:12:33
Might hear how close deals are tonight when Warburton gives his interviews.

The Clint Hill deal was out of the blue. Hopefully the final two captures will be the same.

25 Jul 2016 13:57:43
Nae bother pal.

25 Jul 2016 14:51:42
rangers will not pay money for international striker only 2 players that come in will be 2 loans.

25 Jul 2016 14:50:16
Where are the mariappa rumours coming from again? The deal was assumed dead for weeks now.

25 Jul 2016 14:49:14
Dont be surprised if its Lafferty, tho could easily be someone from Iceland or Scandinavia, or maybe Dave has pushed the boat out for a signing from EPL? U never know, in Mr King 👑 I trust
Tommy.

25 Jul 2016 14:59:18
The poster is full of it.

25 Jul 2016 16:26:16
We were assured the Kranjcar deal was dead as well although this time we have heard from MW himself but we can't say its dead till he signs for another team he is clearly someone we are after and really would like to have and for me would take us to the next level defensively (Mariappa) . As for the striker could be anyone not going to try and pretend I have any idea.

25 Jul 2016 11:58:26
I think Halliday may either keep his place or still be very involved next season. Holt on the other hand, I'm not sure depends how good Niko becomes, Niko's fitness concerns me slightly but he still has class, so fitness should be okay, class being permanent and to be fair he's trying hard.

Just have that feelin that we'll still see a lot off Halliday, it will be up to probably rossister to take it away.

I have watched a lot off rossister during the unders England games. And looks really good will push Halliday all the way.

But if I had to pick 1 off the 2 to play a old firm game at Celtic park, I would go Halliday just at this present time.

Now I know u all might disagree, but everyone's entitled to there opinion lol.

25 Jul 2016 13:35:30
Have you seen Niko? He looks in good shape and will only get fitter.

25 Jul 2016 13:41:58
That's true jay, each to their own mate
As for halliday i agree with you, I think he will get plenty of pitch time this year, although he might not start all the time, I think the midfield 3 when everyone is fit will be, crooks, Barton, rossiter.

25 Jul 2016 14:12:44
Can't wait to see Crooks play. If he does his job defensively as well as well as Windass has going forward then we'll have our best defensive acquisition of the transfer window.

25 Jul 2016 14:51:04
I have a feeling someone will attempt to split niko in two, if he embarrassed them, and having watching him in My favourite haunt Croatia, he is a fantastically skilled player, I will be back in Split in a month, looking forward to getting my new Hrvatska top with Nico on the back,
Tommy.

25 Jul 2016 08:52:33
Just a thought regarding the kit situation. Surely Puma would be more than happy to renegotiate a deal with Rangers directly, they can't be happy that they have paid money to sponsor a team, only for the kits not to be sold. I get that it's not that simple with Mike Ashley involved but maybe there is an incentive for them to help Rangers in this battle?

25 Jul 2016 09:17:43
The fat man is under a lot of pressure and I think he'll renegotiate eventually. He may be the hamburgler in a suit but he is also a successful businessman and the current situation doesn't help him much either!

25 Jul 2016 11:18:07
As things stand Ashley's deal with Rangers is as follows:

Duration: 7 year rolling contract. We handed in notice to terminate this contract in February 2016, so the contract still has 6.5 years to run.

Terms of Contract: Sports Direct given sole rights to sell Rangers merchandise, which means no one else can sell it unless Sports Direct allow it. On top of that, Sports Direct are guaranteed 4 million a year from the deal. Therefore, if less than 4 million worth of merchandise is sold, we need to make up the shortfall. By not playing ball with Ashley we are actually hurting ourselves as we are going to have an unnecessary bill for 4 million and that is not even factoring in the lawyers fees, which will also be significant.

Obviously the deal is bollocks for Rangers and mainly benefits Ashely. However, unless we win a court battle to have the contract ripped up we have two options:

1. Prevent Sports Direct from selling any of our merchandise and in doing so cost ourselves 4M each year, not to mention the fact that we are probably violating the terms with Puma and Red 32.

2. Allow Sports Direct to sell the merchandise for the next 6.5 seasons.

25 Jul 2016 11:40:26
Put RRL into liquidation as it has no products to sell, I think this is the line we will go down. Not sure how this will happen and the implications but surely it must now be a loss making company with no hope of making a profit so the directors are duty bound to do what's in the best interests of creditors and that would be liquidation. Not sure what happens then but just my thoughts.

25 Jul 2016 11:55:30
Disagree if you want but these are the facts of the deal. The crap we see in the Daily Record is just spin, no doubt placed there by James Traynor's PR company at our behest.

25 Jul 2016 12:05:00
Gaxliverpool the only incetive puma will have is to sell jerseys for money, at the moment they are selling none of our shirts, but i don't think mr king would be happy torenegotiat the deal now, he will only do so as a last option, imo. due to mr. ashley being so greedy.

25 Jul 2016 12:11:45
Think he may well have a personality problem, I believe he hates Rangers now because Dave King has done him up like a loch fyne kipper! Dave has fought long and hard to get our club back from the thieves who tried to end us and Imo there is no doubt that was their ultimate aim.

I believe that to be the case, the problem now may be fatty's hatred of King 👑 and his greedy, grasping personality, he could hang on for some time, causing Rangers real financial difficulties in the coming years, hopefully Dave and the board have plans to take him out of the equation.

whatever happens, Dave King should go down in history as a far bigger hero than David Murray, whose silence is deafening?

I think Ashley has shares in Puma. Been
Reading up on him, he has been fighting
With Adidas about kit contracts since 2007.
makes interesting reading about the way he
operates manipulating the system.
Also read that West Brom and Sunderland
produced their own shirts to sell to fans.
Ashley is devious as they come so unless
DK's lawyers can find a loophole and going to
court where the judge sides with Rangers
we're stuck with Ashley for a long time.

The problem is is that it is only a minority that are refusing to buy any goods, there are plenty of people wearing last seasons tops and people who bought merchandise from the megastore in match days.

HITC website mentioned Rangers and Wigan are both interested in Joe Garner, Wigan said to be thinking about 1m bid. The website does post a lot of nonsense at times but that´s usually when speculating who they think we should get rather than who we are actually interested in.

Could be some truth in this, if so I think Garner is a good player who would do well in SPL, capable of that little bit of magic at times, can finish from both feet and is an accurate finisher with his head also. Not as prolific in championship but has scored lots of goals in league 1.

He'd be a decent squad player but would he want to sit on the bench? Dodoo should be a starter, if he is that talented then let him prove it!

25 Jul 2016 11:34:43
why should dodoo be a started he's done nothing yet. he has more work to do than anybody in the team. he's only played 4 league games in his career.

I know I might sound stupid here, but can someone tell me what hitc is please?

Don't worry you're not stupid -hit stands for here is the city and it's a website regularly quoted on the news now rangers site. Mainly it gives a rehash of what Rangers players and staff say on the club website or elsewhere in the press, social media etc. as well as stuff like here's someone Rangers might be interested in or should be or whatever a lot of which is as likely as some of the rumours on here-so you make of it what you will- hope this helps.

Cee because if he is that good and he doesn't play he will leave. Capisce.

He is of a good/ equal standard to the current players in the squad, and he adds a different style to the strikers we have. Miller likes to drop in and get involved in the play, as does Waghorn, while Dodoo would run the channels well. Garner is the type of striker who likes to stay central and work the space in behind or linger around in the box. He would give us a different option.

Would love us to go for Bradley Wright Philips! He scores goals for fun. Would be great value for money! Anyone have any other forwards they think would be value for money?

25 Jul 2016 06:19:53
You obviously don´t realise the kind of money he is on at NYRB if you think he would be good value.

25 Jul 2016 09:40:06
He'd also have zero sell-on value.
