This is my take on transfers based on what the manager has said in recent past, the club is looking to get back to a player trading model that didn't happen under Beales reign for whatever reason, in January we brought in three young players two of which will cost us I think around 4 or 5 million each, they are players with potential at a young age and after two or three years can the club make them better players, improve the team and sell on for a profit. This will be the aim with a striker as well, that in itself will rule out going for the likes of Shankland (if he is a target) unless he was a small fee or out of contract, striker, centre half's probably will be where the main budget is spent.
Would expect to see the continent being targeted for out of contract players as more scope there.
The turnaround in players will depend on who we can move on or who leaves.
I know in the past we have targeted young Scottish and British talent and I'm sure we will continue to do that if the manager wants them and they suit the model.

someone somewhere seems to be forgetting to win the league before buying up young talent fir future sales
we could lose next 5 titles while buying young players, , we must win before we start this, we seem to have forgotten about that at rangers, its beyond ridiculous we have somehow threw another title away, and it looks very much like we have now,
talk of buying youngsters fir future sakes is great, if you just won the league.

Tom are you expecting us to buy tried and tested senior pros? That ain't gona happen mate. We need to buy young, improve them, hopefully sell them at a profit.

Tt football is a business. Would you like us to win 56,57,58,59,60 then go back to 2012 again. we don't have a magic wand. trying to get a player trading model whilst winning the league is hard. in my opinion live within our means and grow and hopefully in the future we can propery expand with our team.

jesus, thanks fir that advice david, i never knew football is a business
heres a business tip for you, you need to grow from a position of strength, we cannot afford to buy young foriegn talent without cash coming in, that cash must come from cl or europa, that means the league is the uppermost thing
to win a league title you need a combination of experience and youth, with the emphasis on experience. , then when your flush, and in a position of power can you reach out to more youth and more experience, so you can continue to be strong while trading in the world market, i only played for 25 years and only in business for 40 so maybe i'm completely wrong, but ta fir letting me know,
celtic will be doing exactly what I've just said, and they win titles doing exactly that,

blue, if we only do what your saying
be prepared fir your next 10 years of total domination,
19 apr 2024 22:54:06
davie, i'm struggling to understand any of that
your actually asking me if i would like to win 56,57,58 and 60 titles
then suggesting somehow we would go back to 2012,, highly unlikely mate innit?
so yes, i would love ti win those titles,
19 apr 2024 22:55:53
tell me, how do we manage to go back to 2012, after picking up over 200million in cl money and selling all thise youngsters we bought, not very well thought out that argument davie, your better than that.
20 apr 2024 00:08:38
yes blue, that's exactly what i expect, this is rangers, not albion ricers, so yes i do expect us to buy experienced players, very much so, do you expect us not too?
