Anyone else think that the hold up in transfer business is down to the money we may get after qualifying things being good?

Dragging on a bit now with nothing solid coming out. Cards being held closely to chests. The qualification money could determine what standard of player we get.

Hope jones can fill that void on the right as I felt it gave us a balance v Motherwell.

29 Sep 2020 19:01:11
Yes 12 th man. Even getting to group stage with no crowds will severely limit our budget.

29 Sep 2020 20:07:58
May I ask, what's being dragging on a bit? Unless you are privvy to stuff we all don't know then how can you possibly say its dragging on? Didn't we sign our players pretty quickly? Why do folk think signings happen over night?

29 Sep 2020 20:08:05
I don’t think it’s a surprise that the 3 main players we have been linked with, Zunga, Lundstrom and Johnson are all in the last year of their contract. Clearly there isn’t much money left to bring in the midfielder we need so we are looking at players Who are still of a decent level but who will be cheaper due to their contract situation. I reckon you’re right though, get through on Thursday and we’ll see someone coming in on a permanent deal. Don’t get through and I have a feeling it might just be a loan deal. Either way I still think we’ll bring someone in.

29 Sep 2020 20:21:13
Was about to ask that question if we get through we will sign another midfielder to boost the squad but if we lose we’ll stick with the players we have, leaving one question will Alfie be sold? 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧.

29 Sep 2020 22:10:27
of course it does 12th, and it will be the same across Europe,

29 Sep 2020 22:12:25
gers, I could be very wrong here but who has linked us to those players, Rangers may have mentioned zungu, but i'm not sure.

Welcome back Supercoop.

30 Sep 2020 02:10:38
heres what gets me about sgl mate, before he went to lock down he correctly told everyone every game, which channel, which time and indeed how to get the Rangers game on TV, yesterday he had to ask " if us season ticket holders " can get the game on Rangers TV? My money would be on him knowing that wouldn't yours?

29 Sep 2020 16:20:12
SGL

Good to see you posting again. Don’t always agree with you but you always make a strong case. Look forward to debating again soon.

What about alex mcleish's article last night
that sir alex ferguson was toying with the idea of signing barry ferguson, when he was at blackburn rovers, after consistently playing superb for them and dominating the midfield area. Sir alex was very interested in signing baz for manchester utd, what a compliment that is 👌Just my opinion, but i truly think barry had the undoubted ability to play for manchester utd or any top club, in the english premiership at that particular time, when he was playing for blackburn. He was a fantastic midfielder, who absolutely dominated games in the engine room 👍
What's our thoughts fellow bears?

29 Sep 2020 08:16:42
I think everybody knows what I think of Barry, coops. He could have played in any team in the world. Brilliant player.

29 Sep 2020 08:35:11
Don't think he'd have got in that Riga team, they are something else.

29 Sep 2020 08:57:55
liverpool tried to sign him on a few occasions.

29 Sep 2020 09:14:23
Definitely feel he was underestimated, probably due to the fact he didn't come from South of the border. Magnificent player who could have stepped into any midfield of the time.

29 Sep 2020 09:33:56
His performance and free kick in the 2002 Scottish cup final was one of the best I have ever witnessed in all my years going to the games. That performance alone is enough to prove his class and why he was so highly thought of as a player.

29 Sep 2020 10:40:24
Legend👍.

29 Sep 2020 10:40:53
Barry was truly outstanding. I always think there’s maybe a place for Barry at rangers as a coach or something as he knows what is required at our club.

29 Sep 2020 10:44:29
Welcome back Supercoop. I agree with everything you say. Barry was a fantastic player, a great engine, 100% never-say-die attitude and could score goals too. An inspirational figure who could have played for any of the top English sides at that time.

29 Sep 2020 11:10:40
Love to watch bayern Munich at home when wee bazza ran the show what a player he was superb.

29 Sep 2020 11:12:39
I remember seeing him for Scotland playing against England at Wembley and he looked as good that night as any of the English midfield, which was incredibly strong at that time. Absolutely fantastic player.

29 Sep 2020 11:29:31
Bang on the money ballochblue3 regarding barry ferguson and liverpool 👍Before rangers sold baz to blackburn for £7.8million,
liverpool were looking to sign ferguson, but were trying to offload players first. Baz should have waited and not decided on blackburn as quick as he did and he would by all reports probably have been a liverpool player, which would have been an even better move for him👌
Liverpool and newcastle utd again were showing interest in signing him before rangers came in to bring him back up the road! He could have played in any midfield, as he was that good, for me anyway!

29 Sep 2020 12:20:47
Ferguson was a top player. Should never have went to blackburn imo.

29 Sep 2020 12:21:54
Welcome back Coop. Baz was in his prime right when I was growing up. Remember being so proud one of our own was leading such a star studded team and there 100% on merit.

How long before Scotland produces a player of that class again?

29 Sep 2020 12:42:40
That is sort of midfielder we need now.

29 Sep 2020 13:17:36
Coops, maybe we should have one of your legendary polls. Barry Ferguson or Scott Brown. Wonder how that one would go?
😁👍🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧.

29 Sep 2020 14:29:21
It would be sabotaged by the Tainted Town residents, Seeker👍.

29 Sep 2020 14:38:11
I wouldn't even bother with a poll for that one snell! Its an absolute NO contest pal, as baz was planets ahead of that overrated baffoon, scott brown👍So easy for baz when he played against that wannabe!

29 Sep 2020 14:53:52
SGL good to see you back on this site. Haven’t always agreed with your posts. But the heart is in the right place. Sometimes the head ain’t. Just like us all. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇦🇺⚽️😎👍.

29 Sep 2020 15:20:15
Buzz bum would be on the Baz/ Brown poll stats and he'd find a way of manipulating the data for Brown to come out top, sure he's done his stats on them a while back.
As long as we know in our hearts Barry was smiles better we don't need a poll no one on here is going to say Brown was better a way are they.

29 Sep 2020 15:25:15
Best CM to come out of Scotland in the last 20 years or so without a shadow of doubt.

29 Sep 2020 15:31:44
Welcome back coops.

29 Sep 2020 15:45:30
I remember Gerry Mcnee going off on one when other journalists were spouting that Barry was the best Scottish midfielder since Mcstay and Collins and Mcnee put them firmly in their place by saying Barry was on a completely different level to those 2 and there would be no comparison. Now, if he was on a different level to those 2, how many levels above Brown must he be?

29 Sep 2020 15:56:58
Guys, I know its no the same but I took my wee man to the Hydro for one of these old timers 5 asides a year or so back and Barry was the best player on show by a country mile. Absolute class and looked like he could still have played to a decent level. For me in my 30+ years of watching gers only Gazza and Laudrup are ahead of Ferguson.

29 Sep 2020 17:38:44
Following on from you there Cambiger, the only 2 midfielders that played for rangers that i rated better than barry ferguson are paul gascoigne and ian durrant pre injury and take it from me, that's some compliment i've paid baz here 👌Like i've said many times, barry ferguson is easily IMO, the best scottish midfielder to come through, in the last 25 years bar none! I remember in 1997 at tynecastle, a young barry ferguson made his debut and you could see then he was as many had predicted, was a special talent 👌I was at that particular game and although we had clinched 9 in a row we lost 3-1 to the jambos that day.

29 Sep 2020 18:28:38
Bmg Gerry Mcnee was a great commentating, he was bang on re Mcstay and Collins, brown not even close.

SGL samedebate Baxter up there.

29 Sep 2020 19:42:14
SGL I went to school with barry he was year above and we played in same team at school and you could see then he had something about him and he wasn’t that big but was class on the ball then.

29 Sep 2020 22:51:39
I remember that one too coops. We were in Ibrox watching the game beamed back onto the screens and players flown back by helicopter after game at Tyncastle finshed. Then off to the Glaswegian, remember doing a conga from there under the bridge to Huttons, remember a wee sing song on the karakoe. Great days.

29 Sep 2020 07:37:11
Well as the days and weeks go on its appearing just how poor quality the Castore strips really are. Letters and numbers peeling all over. I do like the look of the strip but the quality is without doubt now very very poor. They even have the cheek to charge 170 for a hoody. Disgusting imo taking advantage of supporters loyalty. Even borna training kit the castore and gers badge looked like it had peeled off.

29 Sep 2020 13:23:16
I can only comment on my home top. Not a thing wrong with it. Have you got one of castore hoodies? Yup there expensive but you don't have to buy one if you think there expensive 😉
If you've got something wrong with one of there tops, return the item? 🤔.

29 Sep 2020 13:25:33
All I can say is I've had mine since day one of release! And no problems! But like I've said before, I remember problems with all strips rangers have ever released! These things happen to all clubs.

29 Sep 2020 14:07:11
I don't have a top. My kids have got them. Couple issues. Not half as bad as the daily posts on follow follow. Also if am spending a lot of money on clothes it won't have rangers printed across the front of it am not a teenager.

29 Sep 2020 17:43:55
Every bear to their own paul86!Its a personal choice and doesn't matter what age you are, as to any gers supporter wanting to buy/ wear their rangers top, or not for that matter.
Many middle aged older rangers supporters love buying and wearing their rangers replica jerseys!
Nothing at all wrong with that pal🤔.

29 Sep 2020 18:00:48
yeah each to there own you are correct . Just my own personal opinion, i like the strips just think the fans have been let down by castore quality sure i read an article from castore sayin 3% of strips sold had issues? that's probably over 3000 returns? That is shockin really. And the 170 pound hoody os a joke imo ofcourse.

29 Sep 2020 18:03:50
Also there was a women who posted on follow follow had the top few days over 2 weeks. All writing had peeled off. Castore emailed and told her shes outwith 14 day period and there's nothing there going to do about it.

29 Sep 2020 18:12:35
i also was not referring to the strips SGL. Its the hoody with massive castore wings and RANGERS FC sprawled rightnover the front. For 170 notes you maybe want it to be a little bit more subtle and better put together.
