26 May 2018 20:20:59
ok holow 55,give me list of targets, our days of paying top drawer money is over, we can't compete with skys money with teams down south, that includes championship and epl. how high can we aim for, I've given realistic targets.



26 May 2018 23:53:58
totally agree man, sadly regardless off how big a club we are it is all about the money at the end off the day and until we get some billionaire who decides to invest and takeover rangers and turn us back into a household name which is probably never going to happen thanks to more profit from smaller teams down south that thay would rather invest in. then the days off the laudrop gascoigne cooper mcoist klos etc are over. Unless we get a world class player from our youth we need to be smart with who we sign! There still is people we can afford that would be great additions to our squad



27 May 2018 00:26:09
If we got a world class player from our youth bed be sold by the time he was 16. We just can't compete. Billy Gilmour was tipped to be one of the vestvplayers t9 come out of our youth system and he was gone before he could make a single first team appearance



27 May 2018 07:31:57
I don’t think we need much to be honest, I think we’ll sign Goldson and I think John Soutter, Steven Caulker, Sol Bamba, Andre Wisdom, Jon Flanagan will all be considered in defence (I’m not saving we’ll sign them all just these could be realistic targets) . John Mcginn, Harry Willson, Shevi Ojo, Corey Evans, Oil Mcburnie, Solanke.

I’m sure SG will have is own thoughts but I think this list is worth considering



27 May 2018 11:10:12
MikeGer, sadly you’re probably right but I’d hope with the next 4 years if we do mange to recruit a youth player who shows signs of being a world class player then we would show intent and keep them now that gerrard was boss, would’ve been interesting if stevie g was the boss at the time and seen if he was sold.



27 May 2018 14:34:18
Gilmour was not sold, he refused to sign a deal at 16. Chelsea then agreed a development fee with add ons rather than risk a tribunal.
We can't force out of contract players to stay i. e. Wilson, bates



26 May 2018 20:20:46
Come on the Pool. don't really have an English team but want them to win for our Stevie!

🔴⚪🔵.



26 May 2018 18:06:51
hollow 55,heres a list of players who could do a job regardless of age, james collins, kyle bartley, steve davis, charlie adams, jermaine defoe, james morrison, ryan shawcross, not interested in liverpool under 18s.



26 May 2018 18:59:28
Honestly mate, the only one I’d consider is Barkley, I think we should be aiming higher with regards the rest. I’m surprised you’ve not mentioned Wiess? This is usually the time of year where people refer to him as the greatest ever Rangers player just because he post some crap on Twitter!



26 May 2018 19:58:32
Charlie Adam, really? He is unfit and overweight. Have you watched him recently? Not good enough for Rangers now.



26 May 2018 20:10:55
hollow 55,adam still got it to sit in front of defence, how much do you think our budget will be, we can't aim higher because we can't pay the wages



26 May 2018 22:59:59
So what do we do with Rossiter, Jack or McRorie. All defensive midfielders



26 May 2018 23:32:17
Can’t believe people are ignoring Steven Davis - he is quality and would be a fantastic signing



26 May 2018 23:33:21
Hollow55, the only one you would consider is Bartley, so I take it you think he is better than Ryan Shawcross the Stoke City captain? sorry mate a strange one for me, Shawcross is a big strong, no nonsense, physical central defender who takes no prisoners, he has also been capped by England,



27 May 2018 07:52:37
He just sign a 4 year contract with a reported 80k per week, he only played 27 games last season through injury, why on earth would you think we can get him (financially) or want him (through injury)?



26 May 2018 14:48:31
Looking forward to the C L final tonight on btsport. & the famous getting a mention!



26 May 2018 12:53:51
Alfredo morelos retweeting transfer storys linking him with a move away sooner we sell him he better as far as i'm concerned.



26 May 2018 13:44:03
I agree, let's just dump our top scorer and (probably) most valuable asset with (probably) the most potential!

He's just as bad as our next best scorer (Windass) . let's dump him too!

FFS, get a grip. who cares what these guys do and say off the park - if the can deliver on the pitch and help us back to where we belong they can say whatever they like



26 May 2018 14:48:31
but that’s the whole point DK, neither of them have delivered on the pitch and they are not helping us back to where we belong, to my mind anyway

unless of course you and I have different interpretations of where ‘we belong’

we finnished 3rd, won nothing and got hammered in almost every OF game. again

if that’s good enough for you fair dos it’s not even close for me mate

morelos attitude ties in with his performances since all transfer speculation at xmas

utter barry white



26 May 2018 15:14:09
Well Trev

My view is that it’s the worst players that should get dumped, not our best!

However, I’m happy to let SG and my decide who to keep and who to let go. I don’t do FIFA manager I prefer to support the club and all of our players.

I’m a fan not a coach or manager. let the experts make the decision and be judged by it rather than getting all overheated by a tweet!



26 May 2018 16:16:59
If u think we should go into the season with a striker who constantly cuts about with a petted lip and is desperate to leave its you tht needs to get a grip i pay ny money year in year out so ill have my say



26 May 2018 16:22:28
DK17

Yeah but it’s the better players who usually move swag not the worst. Who is going to take our worst players?



26 May 2018 16:33:13
And hopefully our best players last season are our average players next season when we get our new recruits in . never mentioned dump him i said sell him



26 May 2018 17:15:20
I don't know why people are judging Morelos on his petted lips look because last time I was at ibrox he had petted lip at kick off, which means he is going to look this way most of the time, like it or not the lad is just a sour face it doesn't mean he's not trying or has a bad attitude its in his DNA let's cut the boy some slack and give him our support!



26 May 2018 17:50:46
How about he shows us some respect first how many times now has he spoke about moving to a bigger club he's only gave us half a season



26 May 2018 20:48:19
Our attackers are fine top scoring club in the league it's the defence that needs sorting



26 May 2018 20:54:52
Trev No7 your very very negative for being a bluenose, or does No7 ģive it all away.



26 May 2018 22:24:14
does no7 give it away wtf does that mean? no idea what your on about mate if you’ve got something to say spit it out

my favourite player when i was younger was trevor steven who wore no 7 you happy or do you want my season ticket no. that I’ve had for 30yrs

while you’re at it please tell me exactly what i’m negative about if you are happy finnishing 3rd that your perogative but i’m not

unfortunately finnishing 3rd getting hammered in OF games and winning nothing again ain’t negative mate.

it’s just a simple FACT

i know some fans don’t like to hear things like that - and shout you down as being negative when all you are doing is stating FACT but that’s what it is deal with it

in my opinion morelos and windass haven’t delivered but if you feel they have that’s fine - what exactly is it they delivered - 3rd place?

even stevie wonder cld see morelos attitude is shocking but feel free to blame me for being negative as opppsed to morelos spitting the dummy out since xmas

also have a look at his goals record before and after xmas must warn you though factually you might find the answer does not sit with your agenda of it just me being negative

i actually am very positive about nxt season and think stevie g will do far better than most expect and can’t wait to get started - just my opinion though



26 May 2018 23:47:11
I just don't get this petted lip thing with Morelos, I could understand it if the boy wasnt trying, but he is clearly not a prima donna, he tracks back to win the ball, he tackles, he is physical, he gives opposing defenders problems, he helps to clear our lines fronm corners, o. k. he misses a few sitters but let's not forget he is a young guy, footballers don't peak until they are in their late twenties, until then they are still learning and gaining experience, they are not suddenly experienced at 20 years of age although they will have potential, its really all down to a good manager coaching them and fulfilling the true potential, just look at what Alex Ferguson did with a load of raw young lads from the class of 92, they weren't experienced but he coached them and got the best out of them, and made them the best team in England



26 May 2018 23:48:21
There no denying that Morelos form dipped, but seriously he's 21 year old hardly had a break in 18 months cut some slack



27 May 2018 10:31:19
Trev

I’m sorry but you need to get into the real world.

If our defence had been strong we would have won the league. We scored more goals than anyone else but couldn’t defend from midfield through the back.

You are entitled to an opinion but please base it on some form of reality



27 May 2018 10:55:17
Whilst I agree with trev not being happy with last season's outcome, I don't think the blame can ultimately be put on windass and morelos. Football is a team game. We win and lose as one. What we have now is a man who knows the game, knows where we have to improve and who will inspire every member of our squad to be the best they can, every day!
We have to trust him and the players and give them 100% backing. One thing I'm fairly certain of, he will do the club proud, will be dignified and honest. And he won't talk pure sh*$e like we've have had to listen to from recent managers of our glorious club. #Let's Go!



27 May 2018 21:08:04
I totally agree about giving Morelos time. he could still be our talisman. therefore the boy puts in is phenomenal and wins well over his share of 50:50s. some of the balls he wins are outrageous and he has no right in winning . I believe he will come good. I am behind you el buffalo



26 May 2018 10:19:58
I know we have Steven Gerrard and had played in the millionaire playground, that being the English Premiership. Am I not right 8n saying we are shopping in the wrong market!?

You'd be lucky to be grabbing any bargain down south, there is no such thing these days Grabbing a bargain actually the going price before arms and legs and other extensions are added

We really are bathing in the wrong Sea If Gerrard can get a couple of players at a reasonable price great but I think we need to be looking at the lower leagues, which is also overpriced or any other European leagues to get a decent player with great potential at a decent fee

Its non existent in the EPL and more often than not most players aren't worth the buck!



26 May 2018 10:11:46
Further to my last post about cup winners cup I meant to put date of 24th May 1972 not April apologies for ginger slio👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧.



26 May 2018 10:17:59
Ginger slio! I'm taking off predictive text that should say finger slip😂😂



26 May 2018 12:00:21
I heard we're in for Ginger Slio. Apparently, he's like David Bates but skilful. Cheers for the laugh g11! Hibsboy, get a life



26 May 2018 12:18:32
Cheers Riffy



26 May 2018 10:07:32
Hope rumours about James Collins are just that! We shouldn't be going for 35 year olds . aye he was decent a few years ago but come on.



26 May 2018 10:52:31
Well he'd be FREE for a start and his wages will also be slashed to probably 10k a week



26 May 2018 13:43:38
To bgate and all who agreed with his post ---- we signed a 37 year old --- Davie Weir --- who played with us successfully until he was 42



26 May 2018 13:57:59
HujEss I don't think you can compare these two players, besides I'm concerned we are linkedrumourd to be interested in several mid 30s players! One or two maybe but we can't load the team with them



26 May 2018 18:47:58
Clint Hill anyone?



28 May 2018 09:35:36
As much as I would like to see Gerrard build a team for the future I also believe it doesn’t have to happen immediately. If he wishes to load the majority of the team with much older players that have ability and experience but may only have one or two seasons left in them then I am content with this. I would like to believe that this approach would only be to be more competitive instantly and after we have regained our rightful place #1 we would look to introduce the next generation gradually to the team. Of course this is just an opinion and I have no way of knowing what the management are planning but if it’s a team of aged players, young players or the perfect blend of both I think this might be a season to get excited about.



26 May 2018 10:03:49
James Collins is a dumpling another sendoros.



26 May 2018 09:46:24
Not a rumour but a request twitter inundated with timco fans usual Lisbon lions stuff
We won cup winners cup 24/ 4/ 72 3-2 against Dynamo Moscow nothing posted so please fellow bears if you're on twitter please post about one of the finest days in our proud history 👍🇬🇧.



26 May 2018 09:50:48
Gods are you the willie bunnet?
Why do you call them timco? Makes no sense!
If it’s in reference to them calling us sevco then please make something up to do with Pacific shelf, would be more relevant lol



26 May 2018 12:20:32
No its a shorter version of company of tims hence timco



26 May 2018 07:40:55
to hollow 55,its called no your football, collins exsperianced cb who would be good hard no nonesense cb, alves hasn't turned up. we need 3 cbs of collins stamp, bartley would be good addition, we need strenghth in our side, to many times we weren't strong enough all over the park. adams could still do a great job, i'd jump at kevin mcdonald of fulham, with wise signings we can get closer to the unwashed, i repeat we don't need liverpool under 18s.



26 May 2018 08:49:23
Not closer we want, overtake them is what rangers need.



26 May 2018 09:29:37
It's actually called know your football.



26 May 2018 09:34:09
‘It’s called no your football’ - not sure what this means, can you try again? Collins isn’t a bad player, I agree he’s as hard as nails. One experienced player at the back will help however we can’t have him and Skrtel in the same defence as they’ll be slower than a week in the jail, also not value for money paying these two £30k p/ w. Players over 33 will get injured more, especially playing 3 month of the season with temperatures close to 0. Not sure who Stamp is? Guys at 33+ should be our 4th or 5th options not the people we’re looking to shape our future with, not sure what’s tough for you to understand? Hopefully I’ve constructed a positive argument for you to consider, I’m looking forward to see what intellectual argument you can come up with? Best of luck!



26 May 2018 10:23:49
Hollow 55 your right mate. You need to mix up youth with experience. Who is Stamp? Japp retired many years ago and is now a manager.
SG must be looking on thinking already a circus and iv not even started 😂. Welcome to the goldfish bowl.



26 May 2018 17:53:59
hollow 55,skirtel we can't afford, get with it, collins is value for money, players of collins stamp mean quality. i watch football in england as i live there, davie weir was 36 and look how good he was as a cb. players will come for a few years then move on, that's football. this rangers team lacks fighters, would you say no to davis coming back to steady the team, he is 33



26 May 2018 18:16:18
I was the person saying we wouldn’t get Skrtel, the board knew this but made sure it was released to the papers in order to fast track the season ticket sales. Collins isn’t value for money as well need to change the way our team play to cope with his lack of pace. If we remember how deep we needed to play to allow Weir in the starting 11 you’ll understand that’s not the way we’ve been playing of late. We’d need to change both full backs to very defensive full backs again in order to cope - when Weir player we have Kirk Broadfoot at right back! No need for Davis again, what would he bring that we don’t already have? I wouldn’t been keen on losing McCorrie, Rossiter or Docherty from the starting 11 in order to accommodate Davis, it simply doesn’t make sense?



26 May 2018 07:13:52
Hibsboy, stevie G was indeed world class as a player, end of, with regards his budget, youll find out soon enough about that, as for his targets, has he came out and declared one target . no he hasn't, all we have right now is paper talk and agents trying to move there players, some no doubt using us to promote their own player, when rangers or Stevie G makes a comment then I'll listen, not to our one sided rangers hating Scottish media



26 May 2018 09:23:46
Good morning fellow bears. Loyalist. A first class post. I don't think any sensibly person could argue with such a concise and wise, bring us back to Earth statement.



26 May 2018 13:24:35
Good point LOYALIST. Begs the question why you read a rumours site. not all rumours are JUST Papertalk. And reading this beats the hell out of doung the garden!
