Rangers Banter Archive June 02 2020

 

Use our rumours form to send us rangers transfer rumours.


02 Jun 2020 22:11:15
It will be very interesting just to see just how many clubs survive this cv, looking from my opinion the likes of Kelty, Brora, Bonnyrigg are more likely to survive than the like of Brechin.



02 Jun 2020 23:32:45
Let's hope it's Dundee and hearts don't, hearts played 2 games last season, both against Rangers.



02 Jun 2020 19:05:00
Can anybody explain the reconstruction with hot head red card Lewis Ferguson? Is it sentimental ? He would not be an asset to RFC.



02 Jun 2020 19:30:50
Sorry should say " facination "



02 Jun 2020 20:21:16
He’s one of the biggest assets at the 3rd best team in country. People said similar things about John Mcginn when he was at Hibs and we all know how that turned out.



02 Jun 2020 20:21:52
He’s a ok player in a poor team some folk think because he’s a rangers man he will be a good signing. But if that’s the Calibre of player people think will take us forward then your deluded.



02 Jun 2020 20:27:07
Totally agree. 👍.



02 Jun 2020 21:10:25
Some folk on here said the same about Ryan jack before he joined us🤔.



02 Jun 2020 21:21:51
Hes 2 footed, can tackle, can score from a set piece, good engine and on the ball strength and a born Ger. Whether he is good enough to step up to the required level at Rangers game in game out, we will never know unless we sign him. I would not be to down hearted if we signed him but not as a 1st 11 pick, if he was going to cost say 2 million I would rather put that towards a tried and tested player at our level. Rather see some real height and strength in the middle and LM. Think we need 2 solid midfielders for left and center. Kamara might go and when he's poor he's really poor, Davis is past his best, Aribo is not a ball winner and to much of a defensive risk at LM.



02 Jun 2020 21:28:05
Hes better than Docherty and be a great successor to the soon departing Davis.



02 Jun 2020 22:01:40
It’s not fascination it’s opinions people have imo he’d do well with us knows the requirements to be a rangers player from both Barry and Derek
He’s no more of a hot head in fact significantly less so than Morelos nearly a third of total games he missed last season with his antics
I think he’d add steel we just don’t have in midfield
But each to their own opinion.



02 Jun 2020 22:39:40
motherwell are the 3rd best team in Scottish football are they Not?



02 Jun 2020 23:41:39
Probably the people who want to sign him could explain to you mate.



03 Jun 2020 00:27:45
Folk debated if john mcginn was good enough look at him now. I think ferguson would be a shrewd signing.



03 Jun 2020 07:35:07
Well yogi, going by your logic Celtic must be the best team in the league. I made my statement taking into account the last time the league actually finished.



03 Jun 2020 08:05:04
SonOfStruth1872,I honestly don't think lewis ferguson is better than greg docherty. I'm not saying ferguson isn't a decent midfielder,
but i rate docherty better than him.
I personally would like to see docherty getting a chance and not sign ferguson at all, in the short-term anyway.



03 Jun 2020 10:46:40
I like docherty but I don't think he will ever be good enough, we have better players in midfield just now and we need better than what we have so I can't see where docherty fits in. 👍.



03 Jun 2020 11:00:21
After reading all your replies, I tend to agree with SGL. Docherty IMO is a better player than Ferguson. I don't agree with some, that just because his father and uncle played for Rangers then that makes it ok. What I've seen of Lewis Ferguson doesn't merit players for Rangers. We need to aim higher than that to succeed next season, unless Rangers are content with being runners up.



03 Jun 2020 11:32:53
can also head the ball. Kamara too afraid to shoot.



03 Jun 2020 11:52:22
There isn't any of our midfielders that I would drop to put Lewis Ferguson in team. I agree with Coops young doc better player in my opinion.



03 Jun 2020 13:16:37
I'd drop kamara (his form has been very poor)



03 Jun 2020 13:42:21
Mr grumpy, kamara has been off the boil lately, but i can see him being moved on, let's see what the buying club pays for him, just too see if the buyer thinks he has been poor, mate.



03 Jun 2020 14:35:30
If we could get the kamara that had the c*ltic midfield blowing out of their arses back, I'd like him to stay. Not sure what happened to him last season.



03 Jun 2020 15:29:35
I blame Gerrard for the drop in players form. He constantly tinkers/ rotates for no reason. Is it any wonder that player's confidence are shattered. Kamara was great when he finished the previous season and then he finds himself dropped for aribo who should be nowhere near this team. 👍.



03 Jun 2020 16:26:48
Stuck “ I don’t agree with some, just because his father and uncle played for rangers that’s ok “
Where did you see anyone say that? Ridiculous to even suggest anyone in their right mind would say that, it’s players we need not relations.



03 Jun 2020 16:29:45
Couldn’t disagree overly, I was dumbfounded by some decisions and team selection.



03 Jun 2020 16:35:33
Aribo will be a mainstay of our midfield this season coldo. Aribo suffered the same as a few players last season, playing out of position.
It's my big gripe with SG. Playing players out of position.



03 Jun 2020 17:25:28
Gerrard is guilty of that aswell mrgrumpy, aribo for me is far too slow in the centre of the park at moving the ball however new season clean slate, we'll see I suppose. 👍.



02 Jun 2020 18:35:42
Hearing a lot of names being touted on here which is something I don't do because SG boss and he succeeds or fails on his decisions. let's wait and see but 20m spend pie in sky. Of all names mentioned none from youth system. Is it void?



02 Jun 2020 19:04:21
Miller I have mentioned Robbie mccrorie, Kelly, Kennedy.



02 Jun 2020 19:25:10
Our youth system was neglected for many years so it is not too surprising that there are not many at the right age coming through. That said, there are a number of excellent looking young prospects albeit that they are unlikely to be ready for challenging for the league next season. Given some of the poor signings, not all on free transfers, that we have seen over the past three or four seasons it is not too surprising that we have struggled to field a quality side especially in the second half of the season when a quality squad is fundamental. Encouragingly, there are a lot of good quality players available in England and across Europe that are at end of contract and we have to assume that our new Director of Football will already have identified a significant number that would make a difference and are of the correct calibre, (i. e., have a winning mentality and are better leaders than we currently have) . All our quality Rangers teams, historically, were stacked full of players that were winners and would give 100% for the jersey. That is what we need to get back to!



02 Jun 2020 19:30:45
He certainly failed in his decisions since his appointment Millerb.

And please no comments about look where he got us in europe etc, he got us nothing no trophys no nothing.

He has one more chance next season, and that's from me a Stevie fan club member.



02 Jun 2020 20:23:41
Our youth system is just starting to bring through some talent who will be ready in the next year or 2. Unfortunately our youth system was neglected for years.



02 Jun 2020 23:45:13
I believe our system has never been better organized so let's hope some come to fruition and hope they stay for a few years at least.



03 Jun 2020 09:38:45
How many youths making it per year would be a success?



03 Jun 2020 13:29:59
Depends what you mean by 'making it' DEEB. If you mean lads who will come into the team and play for us for years, command a large transfer fee and become international players, like a Hutton, then one every two or three years would be a success. If you mean a Barry Ferguson then one every six or seven years would be terrific. If you mean a boy who would go on to play at some level somewhere else then you could have three or four in a year. Finding raw talent isn't incredibly difficult, moulding it and fine tuning it to our level is. It takes years and so far this current coaching regime has had just two years, so it wouldn't be disheartening to wait another year or two to see the fruits of their work.



03 Jun 2020 13:49:27
Berkshireblue, this c.v. has been a headache and then some, but it must be ross wilsons dream, so many players out of contract, looking for new clubs, a d.o.f., could do well, mate,



03 Jun 2020 15:14:52
That is a good post Covenanter.



02 Jun 2020 16:14:51
Taylor and Morelos up front (Kamberi
as sub) hagi, Jack, Ferguson, Arfield, midfield, barasic, helander, Skrtel, Clyde defenders and Hladky in goal. I like the look of that!



02 Jun 2020 16:37:05
I think that team is weaker than the team we have just now muppet. 👍.



02 Jun 2020 16:49:03
Kamberi returning to Hibs, probably be sold, but doesn't look like we're interested.



02 Jun 2020 16:49:13
You'd be better off with defenders from Clyde! 😂
And Ferguson? I don't get the big deal about him?



02 Jun 2020 17:26:59
Announce Lyndon Dykes forget Kamberi

Ferguson would add a bit of steel but not much else, so forget him as well.



02 Jun 2020 17:36:25
Irvger, i quite like kamberi but being honest i don't think we're interested in signing him permanently and the big hint on this was we didn't request any option to buy, when we brought him in on loan in january. To be fair i honestly think that some of the strikers names we're being linked to, are better options than kamberi, i feel!
I'll say this also and i know this very talented striker has went off the rails with both at west brom and stoke, but if he can get the right club that can get the best out of him, he'd be a terrific signing. The striker i'm talking about is saido berahino, who when doing superbly with west brom was subject to a spurs bid and was valued at £15million. If gerrard could get his head right, berahino would destroy scottish defenders up here. He's now performing well again, in belgium.



02 Jun 2020 18:03:33
Regarding lawrence shankland fellow bears, it may well be that gerrard chooses to wait and continue to monitor shankland's performances with scumdee utd, at the higher level in the scottish premiership, this coming season. He might wait to see if shankland continues his incredible goalscoring record in the big league, before deciding to possibly make a move. On the other side of that of course will lie the danger of another club's interest now, which may have to force a decision now from rangers!



02 Jun 2020 18:04:17
Kamberis not signing for us. He's off back to Hibs, then I think Poland. Taylor is a big maybe. Ex team mate Aribos talking us up. I think an English championship striker will be better than any we've got up here. Shankland, dykes included. We'll be signing some unknown names. Who had heard of Morelos before caixinha brought him in. He started on 2k a week.



02 Jun 2020 18:05:42
Taylor’s manager quoted as saying “ if it wasn’t for Lyle we wouldn’t still be in this division”. Strong words indeed so don’t see why that would weaken existing team, not to mention playing two up front which we really need to do. How anyone could fail to rate Skrtel a world class player I don’t know. Sure he is getting on in age but would still be immense at the back for coming season. Ferguson adds grit, energy and determination in midfield, and for me Tav is a weak link.



02 Jun 2020 19:11:27
Muppet, Ferguson would be another passenger, an average player, is that our limit to win the league. We need far better quality, we need to raise the bar.



02 Jun 2020 19:12:49
Skrtel world class? Aye 5-6 years ago. I genuinely don't think he would be an improvement on what we have.
I can see Tyler coming in.



02 Jun 2020 19:31:20
I am not convinced with that midfield, it still lacks a midfield enforcer and no wide players. I would like to think that we will sign a bit of steel for the prime midfield role and a quality right winger, (rather than rely on central midfield players playing wide) . I would hope that Kent starts to show the quality he has and similarly Aribo and I remain to be convinced by Ferguson!



02 Jun 2020 23:51:47
Rossco, thank God we got someone who knows everything about Morelos first wage and kamberi is away to Poland, oh and Taylor is a big " maybe" breathtaking.



03 Jun 2020 00:43:03
It's a banter and rumours page. Not a try and be wise and take the p"ss page. If you have nothing better to do except criticise or try to laugh at fellow supporters. P*ss off and join the Celtic page. Breathtaking is you wasting our time reading your crap. What do you actually know about any of us. Maybe we're closer than you think. Away and play football manager.



03 Jun 2020 13:51:35
The muppet, youde best keep away from the clyde, with that team, mate, lol.



02 Jun 2020 14:24:36
If option for new striker was between kamberi or Lyle Taylor or Lawrence shankland what would everyone's top pick be out of them bearing in mind they most likely back up.



02 Jun 2020 15:01:58
Taylor and kamberi will probably end up at rangers as back up to Morelos. If Morelos goes, expect another striker in.
Don't dislike shankland, just don't see him coming to rangers.



02 Jun 2020 15:02:06
I would prefer lyndon dykes to any of the 3 strikers you mention Sirwalter54,but from the 3 you mention i would prefer lawrence shankland! I still rate both taylor and kamberi though.



02 Jun 2020 15:03:46
Sirwalter54,none of them would be back up, if morelos gets sold and i have a strong feeling morelos will be sold for a decent size transfer fee!



02 Jun 2020 15:15:30
I agree mr grumpy, and if Morelos leaves would mb add dykes.



02 Jun 2020 15:46:59
Fellow bears its been reported today that hibs are currently in talks with an unnamed club, about selling flo kamberi. Its rumoured to be a club from poland, so i'm hearing from a hibee i know. I honestly don't think rangers will sign kamberi on a permanent deal.



02 Jun 2020 15:54:22
Shankland does not have the speed, physicality or guile to play up front on his own.
We need much better than this guys.



02 Jun 2020 16:51:31
I'm with SGL on this one, I prefer Dykes as the type of player who will do well for us.



02 Jun 2020 17:04:56
BAR72, Agreed but he knows where the goals are.



02 Jun 2020 21:16:22
Kamberi. Has scored goals in this league and Hibs desperate to get rid so easier deal to make.



02 Jun 2020 23:56:16
When you say " a hi bee you know " that means you read it somewhere, past history with director friends of yours tells us everything you read, you tell us it came from someone particular to you, like directos, long lost cousins who own kit manufacturers and the " prominent sources" in your head, anyone else notice these fantasies?



03 Jun 2020 02:55:08
If those three are the choices, I'd play Goldson up front.



03 Jun 2020 14:02:54
The covenator, i'd try goldson in goal, surely he must be good at something, mate, lol.



02 Jun 2020 10:37:45
I see scumdee utd have said they'd listen to offers for Shankland, personally I'd love to see him at Ibrox. He's got great finishing so if the service is there he will score at least 15-20 goals.



02 Jun 2020 10:45:09
So did Nicky Clark at a lower level and thay didn't work out. Don't have anything against Shankland but I can't see how he gets minutes ahead of Morelos or Defoe just now.



02 Jun 2020 11:42:26
If morelos gets injured or suspended I'm sure Shankland would be doing everything to make a name for himself not many people want to give him the chance.
Shankland ain't nick Clarke or ally Mccoist he's Lawrence Shankland and I hope that name doesn't come back to haunt us. Just saying.



02 Jun 2020 11:48:31
It good enough for us and I’d be very unhappy if we wasted money on him.



02 Jun 2020 12:18:10
Forget nicky clark mate. Because nicky clark failed to make the step up to rangers, doesn't mean lawrence shankland can't! Football just doesn't work like your assumptions Ger88,ie. if one player doesn't make it at rangers then that's a guarantee that another striker won't make it.
How do you, me or anyone know for definitely that shankland won't go on to be the next ally mccoist? You don't know and i think we just can't afford to miss out on shankland as i think this guy will be better than clark and i rate him as a terrific finisher with both feet and his head.



02 Jun 2020 12:19:10
Ger 88,morelos won't be with us shortly my friend.



02 Jun 2020 12:43:28
Good point sgl.



02 Jun 2020 12:48:12
We should of got Shankland from Ayr UTD fir nowt.



02 Jun 2020 13:26:31
I recon if we played to Shankland s strengths he would score for fun. But fans would also have to realise he’s a different type of striker than Morelos. Would probably be a wee gamble but I think he’d do well if we played to his strengths. Only thing is, I’d hate to give them a penny.



02 Jun 2020 13:54:42
bgate w I also hate to give them a penny, but I also don't want to cut of my nose to spite my face. I have been battering on about shankland's goal scoring exploits on here for months, and we should give the lad a chance, but the only person who is also seems able to see through the mist is SGL. As I said on a previous post, I used to watch the late great DAVIE COOPER when he played for Clydebank. If we had followed the same logic of HE PLAYS FOR A SO CALLED LESSER TEAM so we can't take a chance we would never have signed him. I am not remotely trying to compare Shankland with Davie Cooper, but the same logic applies. GIVE THE GUY A CHANCE TO SHOW WHAT HE CAN DO.



02 Jun 2020 14:05:07
Nicky Clarke also didn't have Kent, Tav, Hagi, Barisic, feeding him. The boy might have done better if he had.



02 Jun 2020 14:14:27
I think most people’s real problem with Shankland is that we know we could have had him for free last year and it would have been a reasonable gamble to take giving him a contract, however this sticks in peoples throats now with the thought of that gamble having a 1-1.5m fee on top when we could have had him. I personally wanted him last year but I am against paying for him now.



02 Jun 2020 14:36:50
Stephen Dobbie was a prolific goalscorer in that division his whole career and also played at a higher level down South.
Would you have paid £1 million for him 2 years ago when he out scored Shankland?
Shankland was a no risk gamble on a free - now at the price Scumdee Utd will probably demand it isn't worth it.
And in my opinion Shankland isn't good enough anyway. 👍.



02 Jun 2020 15:08:35
So if steven gerrard thought he was even better now and be the next scoring sensation in scotland, by your assumption coully, we shouldn't sign him because we would need to pay a very modest transfer fee? No chance mate. If the important people at rangers think shankland is the man, then go and get him signed. I would definitely like us to sign him!



02 Jun 2020 15:19:05
SGL as a matter of interest what do u value shankland and dykes at, I see both clubs say 2 million plus.
We scouted shankland at Ayr more than ten times and did not take him for nothing.
Makes me think we don’t rate him or we need to sack scouts.
I also think Taylor will be signed for nothing.



02 Jun 2020 16:00:00
I also think lyle taylor is a certainty to be signed by us, John25
Regarding shankland, i think the reason we've kept scouting him is monitoring his consistent improvement, each season mate, its a chance rangers are prepared to take because if we do move for shankland he'll most definitely want to come to us, as he's a massive rangers supporter. I think being honest shankland would now cost us around £2million because he's well under contract. I think we would get lyndon dykes cheaper at around £1million,
as he's going into the last year of his contract.



02 Jun 2020 16:48:58
Right, I would not pay two million for a player still playing in championship when we could have had him for nothing.
I’m told gerrard does not see him as a lone striker for us.
My research on Taylor could be a useful back up for little money in terms of wages
Being told two year deal.



02 Jun 2020 16:54:59
John25, I think Dundee United would be open to a player plus cash deal if we were interested, only problem I have, is, I don't know which player we would offer.



02 Jun 2020 17:26:44
anybody given any thought as to why scumdee are prepared to listen to offers for shankland, they have just been awarded promotion so it would be better to see how he does in the top league, i think they want to cash in on him for greed, rotten club with no ambition.



02 Jun 2020 17:26:55
John25 dykes is valued at £425k on transfermarkt obviously motherwell will try their paw abit.
But look at hagi deal we had set price but got cheaper due to the plummet in player values worldwide.

KPMG just did a audit on worldwide transfers/ players value etc and predict a 10 billion pound drop due to C. V. so good time to pick u a bargain👍.



02 Jun 2020 17:46:03
Guys there's a striker currently playing in belgium and his head at last seems to be in the right place again. He's very talented and his name is saido berahino and if gerrard could get his head right, he would be the one, no doubt about it, as he's a very talented striker.



02 Jun 2020 20:26:49
Instead of dykes, coop? 😁.



02 Jun 2020 21:14:09
Would take him as a punt on a free, expect utd will want more than I think we should pay with what will be a limited budget for transfers. Anything north of half a mill max not worth the risk and look elsewhere (that's being generous)



03 Jun 2020 00:01:48
Now, you have given shankland, dykes, berahino, and according to your guessing, Taylor is a certainty
How many more before the football starts mate,



03 Jun 2020 14:05:56
Ger4life, pay a couple of million for shankland, and if he gets a decent wage all the better, than he flops, what next, mate?



03 Jun 2020 21:22:47
Paulellen, pay a couple of million for Shankland and bangs them in left right and headers, what next mate.
You have no trust in the guy, I do.
But none of us know who is right or wrong. No one on this sit down and the theatre was packed every people might think they know, me included, that's our opinions.



03 Jun 2020 21:25:32
Paulellen,
Pay a couple of mil for Shankland and he bangs them in left right and headers, what next mate.
You don't know and I don't know, no one on this site knows if he's good or poor. People think they know me included but we don't.
My opinion is we should have got him b4 dundee utd, but would still take him now.
Respect. 😊.



02 Jun 2020 10:11:43
Despite my eternal optimism and love for the club, i can't believe that we'll be good enough next season to take on the those who play for the title along with those who hand them out. Fighting 1 enemy is hard enough nevermind having the people running the game also fighting you.



02 Jun 2020 10:30:40
If we are good enough on the park, it doesn’t matter what happens of the park.
Consistency will be the key. We’ve proved in spells we are good enough. 👍.



02 Jun 2020 10:49:38
It wasn't any enemy that made us collapse after Dubai.

Let's not make excuses before a ball is kicked.



02 Jun 2020 11:12:47
We were good enough on the park on many occasions and the officials consistency of being biased showed which cost us points also, Aribo getting his head burst open, arfield being broken in half, Cosgrove fouling more than 15 times with no card, 3 offside players and goal allowed to stand, fourth officials being ignored by referees, etc. etc. etc if I was a player it would do my head in. Tavernier should never return as captain and eff the spfl.



02 Jun 2020 11:24:02
No one to blame but ourselves hammerite. 👍.



03 Jun 2020 11:33:28
Rossco3001, i posted about the way our club have been cheated by officials on here in december, i got told i was parra, ha ha ha, now loads of rangers fc sites are moaning about the corruption, proven right again, mate, lol.



02 Jun 2020 09:49:56
Still deeply concerned about players we are linked with if we are to stop so called 10 in a row Rangers need to go all in here I've repeatedly said they need to bring in roughly four players at 4M or 5M one of them being captain material let's get real here we must spend at least 20M NOW to have any chance I don't know who will take care of the financial side or how secure we are but if i'm manager i'm going to the board with this mindset Rangers need to level up now or prepare for celtic to win another title no jokes it will happen I have given this serious thought for weeks what we can do but but one thing stays the same celtic do grind out results if we are to compete against that if we are serious we must respect there qualitys only quality will take that title from them we can't afford to have another light weight team with no heart anyone who is at ibrox and thinks i'm a Rangers player I've made it please just leave we don't need you we need quality with mentality to win the league.



02 Jun 2020 10:02:04
I think we will spend anywhere near 20mil unless we sell a player/ s for around that mark. I do agree that we need quality and mentality, I think if we get two or three with the right mentality then this will rub off on the rest. I think a rb cm tm are the 3 key area's we should be looking at. 👍.



02 Jun 2020 10:04:23
I think with the uncertainty at the moment all clubs need to be careful.

Imagine having no fans at grounds and the financial impact that will have.

I'd do anything to stop 10 but I want to keep following my team.



02 Jun 2020 10:11:34
We won't spend £20m this summer and we don't have to.
Plenty of quality players available out of contract this summer.
Being linked with players doesn't necessarily mean we're signing them.



02 Jun 2020 10:15:21
Not going to happen without sales, fans need to get real with the current climate, we have invested without return for a while it can’t just go on, player sales will depend what we buy. Expect us to look at out of contract players like Clyne (RB) and Lyle Taylor (ST) with the latter now refusing to play on for Charlton with contract expiring at end of the month. Taylor staying injury would jeopardise life changing move. it’s us or them he is bound for by the way some talkSPORT hosts are talking, club with scope to with trophies stated by goughie.



02 Jun 2020 10:26:58
There is no way in current climate Rangers will spend £20 million in 3 or 4 players.
Unless every deal is structured like the Hagi signing. 👍
On the captain issue, I would suggest everyone listens to Stuart McCall on the 4Lads podcast. When talking about captains, he said they had leaders all over the pitch.
And that's what we are missing just now. Tav maybe captain - but when the going got tough after Dubai on the pitch you expect your Davis, McGregor, Jack etc to step up and try and pull the team through.



02 Jun 2020 10:45:19
Well lads if its FREEBIES and false hope with tav as captain prepare yourself to loose another league simples.



02 Jun 2020 10:58:37
Maybe see who we actually sign this summer rfc98?
Love the positivity though 😁.



02 Jun 2020 11:05:49
* I don't think we will spend anywhere near 20mil.



02 Jun 2020 11:24:21
If we were to sign someone like Clyne I would like to see tav on right of a 3 in 4-2-3-1 formation, tav-hagi-Kent behind Morelos if he is still here.



02 Jun 2020 11:54:33
There is absolutely no way we can afford to spend 20 million in a transfer window unless as other posters stated we sell alfie or borna for around about that price. when are some bears going to wake up? We can’t spend like we used to. stopping 10 or 9.75 doesn’t matter as much as our long term financial stability.



02 Jun 2020 12:10:46
If folk think the current crop of players are good enough to win this league there heads in the clouds

And some of the players being linked simply aren’t good enough

To be honest it’s all getting very boring

Our club need quality players with fight and determination and without that we’re winning nothing it’s simple

Possibly Rangers football club at the minute don’t have the resources to pull in the quality we need and possibly behind the scenes there settling for being second over next few years

Even last season when we could see we needed quality in certain areas nothing was done.

WE as a club ARE not GOOD enough and Celtic will win 10 If Gerrard continues to play players out of form and stick to same formation etc

We will see what comes this season but if it pretty much stays the same forget it.



02 Jun 2020 12:57:03
No chance 20 million will be spent, Spending millions doesn’t mean they players will work out, money was spent the season just gone by. There’s a good few players on a free contract too.



02 Jun 2020 13:22:34
Another rousing post from thestigno1 😁
Haven't signed anyone yet (bar hagi), the coming season is more than 2 months away and he's all doom and gloom. 🤔.



02 Jun 2020 16:03:08
If I hear one more person suggesting Tav plays in midfield I will scream! For the umpteenth time the guy is not a midfield player he lacks the skills, flair, goal scoring ability (other than penalties) creativity and tackling to play in that position.



02 Jun 2020 16:59:25
The Muppet, where do you suggest we play Tavernier then, because he's a hopeless full back.



02 Jun 2020 17:56:01
Irvger, we don't play him👍.



02 Jun 2020 19:02:01
You mix it up a bit put tav as a 2nd winger role but not a full back drop someone from midfield into full back when we loose the ball this will confuse the opposition and over load there LB but the question is do we have the quality of player to do that? I think not we need QUALITY.



02 Jun 2020 19:07:05
Guys I’ve been saying for years won't win league with guys like tav.



02 Jun 2020 19:41:54
Right now no-one knows how much money we will spend this close season or who we will sign and who we might or might not sell. One thing for sure, we need to see an upgrade in a number of positions and we need a major upgrade in the squad! There are a number of quality players available across Europe that are available on free transfers. There will also be clubs looking to offload good players because they need the funds. In any respects it will be a perfect time to pick up good players without excessive financial outlay. We have to hope that our DoF has identified the right players and that the pull of Rangers and Gerard will be sufficient to see them at Ibrox!



02 Jun 2020 19:58:01
I’m mr doom and gloom yes I like to face reality and the facts are there no trophy’s under Gerrard as yet but a bucket of money being spent since he came

So carrying on with same situation I’m supposed to be happy

My question is why is everyone else on here so happy?

I really though this was a Rangers forum 🤔 and right now we have nothing to be happy about.



02 Jun 2020 23:32:05
I tend to agree with you stig, Gerrard has a lot to prove. He has wasted a lot of money and probably 60 to 70 % of his signings have failed. He seems tactically inept. 👍.



03 Jun 2020 03:44:38
Rangers are now taking a massive risk on gerrard when he first came it was gerrard taking the risk now its Rangers cause if we spend heavy again and he delivers NO trophies gerrard can walk but we are in a mess with celtic 10 in a row just imagine that for a minute so gerrard must step up now I still have faith in him but it's now or never .



02 Jun 2020 09:17:25
Me thinks the ex players, players and Rod are protesting a little to much and no 100% it's a TAINTED TITLE. Imagine guys the shoe on the other foot with us with a 10 point lead going into the last 9 games? They would have never accepted it and the campaign would have been Void with Liewell pulling all the strings! The next thing they will want is the Scottish Cup being played into the new season even though the teams don't have the same players and where is the sporting integrity in that my Mr Liewell! No title and VOID✌️🇬🇧🇬🇧.



02 Jun 2020 09:52:05
Lets face it yately, they were always going to win the league. Hope Gerrard has learned from his mistakes, I hope he goes 442, no reason to be playing one striker against teams that sit in. I hope he stops tinkering for no reason. I hope he picks a new captain. I hope he gets kamberi on a permanent. We need a target man and we need a few with a bit of fight. Thank god he let ojo go👍.



02 Jun 2020 10:16:00
A change of formation against the teams that park the bus isn't a bad idea. The team should have the flexibility to change things in a game.
We need a RB, LB, CM, Proper RW and a striker.



02 Jun 2020 10:20:19
Coldo mate, how do you sit with the possibility of us signing lyndon dykes? I said in january, i would have preferred dykes over kamberi and i honestly stick by that! Big dykes destroys centre halfs and is pretty quick into the bargain.



02 Jun 2020 10:40:45
Not going to change the team tho is he SGL? Poor goal scorer through out his career. Could only really play in a 2.



02 Jun 2020 12:19:59
Coldo, a question for you? Do you think we would have been awarded title in same situation? Liewell ran it through as quick as he could and the League could have been finished! ✌️🇬🇧.



02 Jun 2020 12:25:09
He's played himself up top for livingston mate. Dykes could easily play up top for rangers on his own and its very easy to see why. He has power and pace, can hold off defenders, can hold the ball up, very mobile and can score with both feet,
absolutely superb in the air. He could play easily up top for rangers on his own. Has all the attributes i mentioned Paul86!



02 Jun 2020 13:16:54
Coop, I remember big Dykes at Ibrox in the first game at Ibrox before he was sent off and he was totally unplayable and outstanding and all the guys about our seats were raving about him! He is worth a punt✌️🇬🇧.



02 Jun 2020 13:24:11
He's maybe all those things coop but does he score many goals?



02 Jun 2020 13:53:50
I’d like to see dykes at rangers
Mrgrumpy he pulls defenders all over the place and he’ll make space for other players.



02 Jun 2020 14:04:44
I think he's scored 12 at livingston with a good few assists also mate. If he signed for rangers with our better players supplying him in and around the box, imo you can easily add double the amount he scored at livingston!



02 Jun 2020 14:06:30
I remember that game well yately01.
We were all raving about dykes. Big dykes has also tore ajer and big julliet apart when he's played against them! They just can't handle him!



02 Jun 2020 16:51:13
Yately if the season was to continue then celtic would win the league so I don't think it really matters if the boot was on the other foot. They were marching towards the title whereas we were stuttering. We would have needed a miracle to stop them. We were against them being awarded the title and I'm sure they'd be against us being awarded the title if it was the other way about. I think we should be focusing on the real issue for us which is does Gerrard have the ability to turn us into genuine title contenders, has Gerrard learned from his mistakes? if so what players go and what players come in? We need to stop 10 as let's be honest we had no chance of stopping 9 the way we were collapsing. 👍.



02 Jun 2020 19:47:47
We need to have the players to be able to flex the team formation depending on the opposition and the tactics being deployed. That can only be achieved if we have a quality squad, something that we did not have last season. If we are to win the league then we need more leaders, we need winners and we need more quality. For me we need to hope that we can cash in on a number of players that are simply not good enough or have the wrong mentality for Rangers and we need to bring in five or six players, ideally at full back, centre back, midfield, right wing and striker that can make a difference.



02 Jun 2020 20:47:24
before being sent off sounds exactly what we need. and mark my words if he played for us he would be suspended more than he was playing.



02 Jun 2020 08:14:19
Players we could sell and actually make a profit on:

Barasic - Good games and bad games. One thing that's unquestionable for me though is he's not got the heart for it. He pulls out of 50/ 50's and he's a defender. End of.

Morelos - Good games and stinkers! We all know the fact he's a liability at times and his apparent preference to play up top compromises our ability to change formation, which everyone knows is needed at times.

Players we should release if we can:

Barker - Because we've seen him play.

Defoe - Could not be less suited to what we actually need. And he's ancient, and he's expensive.

Davis - A shadow of the player he was pre Xmas and age has caught up with him. You win leagues up here with physicality and energy in midfield. He's done.

Jack - A fit Ryan Jack is our best midfielder. He's always injured though and you can't win leagues when your lynchpin in midfield is in and out the team. We need the fittest squad we can possibly have and unfortunately players like him weaken you more when missing than others. We have no like for like who is anywhere near as good, so we need one asap. I wouldn't be against keeping him, but not as a first choice.

I'd use the £4m ish for Barasic and £10m ish for Morelos to bring in the likes of Lewis Feguson, Brophy, Dykes, Kamberi, Cosgrove. These are just suggestions from what I've seen on the pitch, not on a computer game. I fully expect our coaches and scouts to know of even better players, but these guys are all fit, all physical, and all of the mentality we need to start winning ugly games.

It's also leave us with money left over as well as far cheaper wages than those who I think ought to go.

Looking forward to the Barasic lovers going a bit mental in reply.

Stay safe. GRG.



02 Jun 2020 09:59:48
I stopped reading once you mentioned you'd like Ferguson, Dykes, Brophy etc. Those players won't stop 10 IAR.



02 Jun 2020 10:04:17
GRG Ryan Jack is our best mid.



02 Jun 2020 10:16:22
Lost me at Jack.



02 Jun 2020 10:23:18
Interesting opinions glasgowrangergooner. 🤔
I'll be honest I disagree with pretty much everything you've written.
We'll win f*ck all if we sell 3 of our best players and replace them with the players you've mentioned.



02 Jun 2020 10:38:35
I said Jack is our best midfielder. His injuries mean we often are without him. Teams that win leagues have their best players fit. We have no like for like. It’s a simple point.



02 Jun 2020 10:43:26
Thought you were joking after read the jack bit. Then i definitely knew u were joking when mention of brophy and cosgrove. Good 1 mate that's a cracker.



02 Jun 2020 10:48:25
I don’t know if it’s a windup or not but I’ll indulge!
So you’ll sell the Croatian LB but not bother buying another leaving the club with no recognised LB?
You’d sell Morelos and replace him with 4 strikers who if you took away their goals with penalties, their combined goals this season wouldn’t add up to Morelos!
You’d ditch Jack but sign an inferior Ferguson?
Now I would sign Kamberi but not at the expense of ditching Morelos.
But that’s the beauty of football - differing opinions👍.



02 Jun 2020 10:59:31
Dykes could be an option, he gave celtic a tough time and with better players around him he might just kick on. We do need a TM that's for sure. I like kamberi coop, he has strength pace, can beat a man and he can finish. He can also play rm lm and st, I'd be surprised if we don't make a move for him. 👍.



02 Jun 2020 11:39:11
One of the maddest posts I have seen on here, basically sell players for under their value and replace with players who are worse? Good laugh mate.



02 Jun 2020 12:29:54
We're mentioning all these strikers but the one striker i think we'll definitely sign is out of contract charlton striker lyle taylor! I truly think he's a stick on to end up at ibrox. To be fair he has a goalscoring ratio of 1 in 2 games which is a good rate.



02 Jun 2020 13:01:30
Hahaha let jack go, you best go see a doctor buddy. Jack, barasic along with Morelos are our biggest assets. As for Defoe yeah he’s old but when called upon has proved his worth and he’s still the best finisher at rangers.



02 Jun 2020 14:10:22
Defoe is the best finisher at rangers, i totally agree Deemc22.Wee defoe has never let us down when called upon. He most definitely still deserves to be at rangers, with hopefully a striker coach job thrown in! As fit as a butcher's dog still and a top pro and stunning goalscorer, simple as that for me anyway! 👌👍.



02 Jun 2020 14:44:32
Mr Tupacman. Those were some suggestions of players we could sign. Not the exact replacements. We need two left backs for sure. One to replace Barasic if he goes and one to replace Halliday. I personally would replace Barasic because I don't rate defenders who don't like tackles.

Weird nobody agrees on Jack. He misses more games than the guy who sits next to me and has to work alternate Saturdays. Arsenal spent a decade waiting on Diaby, Wilshire and Rosicky to be fit. When they were, they were superb. However when they were injured, second string players had to fill in. We need our starting eleven to be fit week in week out. Just a shame Jack can't be that player, because I'm 100% with this, him being in and out our team hinders us so badly.



02 Jun 2020 17:36:30
Jack has played 38 games this season
Jack played 46 games last season. 🤔.



02 Jun 2020 18:16:47
Ryan Jack has been immense for us since gerrard became rangers manager! A future rangers captain no doubt whatsoever! Although he's had this niggling injury at times, he has most definitely played, as you pointed out mrgrumpy, a lot of games under gerrard. So Glasgowrangersgooner jack has had this niggling injury at times but you must see he's played a substantial amount of games under gerrard mate?



02 Jun 2020 18:52:16
SGL I like Jack a lot. Maybe I’m being far too harsh if he’s played that many games. 👍🏻.



02 Jun 2020 19:54:00
Only issue with defoe is heis a very very expensive subby.



02 Jun 2020 20:42:40
Wish people would stop referring to 10iar. How do you go from 8 to 10? By rigging votes that's how.



03 Jun 2020 10:58:21
But if they win this year then it will be 10 in a row, the record books will say 10 in a row. I wish people would get in touch with reality and focus on our own failings rather than trying to deflect with this 'world is against us' attitude and that we were cheated out of a title that we had no chance of winning. let's focus on us, that's the real issue. We have no one to blame but ourselves. We collapsed after the break again from a position of strength, that's the real issue. If we fix that issue then we have a genuine chance of winning the league. 👍.



03 Jun 2020 11:34:40
Glasgowrangersgooner, i don't get you at all, your criticising jack, saying he is always missing, thru injury, then when people post his game stats, you say you never new he plays that amount of games? Surely there should be no criticism at all, its as if you guessed, guessed wrong, mate.



03 Jun 2020 11:36:38
Grg, there should be no criticism of a player you obviously never watched, mate.



01 Jun 2020 23:16:23
just watched a re-run of the 2015 play off final. with motherwell and was astonished at the lack of quality we had and how many players with no fight and desire wore the jersey. Gerard has made a massive impovement since then but we need players with a 'winning' mentality like the players who played in the 9 in a row years and those who played under Advocaat and to some extent McLeish. Still think we need a strong captain with a winners mentality. We don't have one just now and this has been proved too many times in the past and could cost Gerard his job. New captain and stronger players required for me. Not players like Brandon Barker etc and tav as captain.



02 Jun 2020 07:39:32
Barker Hastie Docherty Polster Stewart Middleton Barjonas, we have a few youngsters there but the truth in the matter is they aren't good enough for the season ahead glad we've already trimmed excess dead wood but more to go some maybe on loan tho.



02 Jun 2020 11:01:43
Agreed sos1872, we need much better quality than those you mentioned. Tav needs replaced aswell. 👍.



02 Jun 2020 13:04:23
I honestly thought pollster done decent the games he played would keep him as a squad player try get rid of the rest you mentioned.



02 Jun 2020 13:35:08
I don’t know why Hastie was signed apart from a couple of friendlies he never got a chance. Would he have been any worse than Ojo instead of being put out on loan?



02 Jun 2020 14:13:57
We know people who know the hastie family and although his family are celtic fans, his mum and dad told him they thought out of the clubs that wanted him, that rangers were the best for him. We also got told that both stevie G and gary mac rate young jake hastie highly. I think this young powerful winger will end up being a really good player for us!



03 Jun 2020 11:33:23
Sgl, yes., possibly, i hope so, i also hope we see more youngster getting game time, make the first team players fight to keep jersey, best way to so, introduce younger players, mate.



03 Jun 2020 11:34:58
Stevie, i agree with you, i thought jak alnwick was a good good keeper, one we should have trued to keep, mate.
