When Mark Allen joined in 2017
He signed 34 players
When Ross Wilson signed in 2019 he signed 29 players I think it is
Between the two that's 63 players ?
Now we have Koppen who is currently around 10 players signed so far
that's a hell of a lot of players over the period of time to end up with a squad with what we have now is it not?
Did the first two really do great business ?
I think overall as I've said many times before I don't think they did and a lot of money has been wasted
Their has been a few successes but not for outlay and what squad we are left with it's very dire reading ?
Anyone think I'm wrong in assuming the first two weren't as good as some thought please give your reasons
Koppen is still under the microscope for me to see what happens with his current signings.

our biggest failure wasnt so much the ones we signed it was more the ones we didn't move on at the right time. Gerrard should have sold Morelos and Kent before he left. we wanted to, Morelos wanted to but Gerrard demanded we didn't then he left anyway.
18 Nov 2024 10:22:00
Koppen's signings so far have been a joke for the money spent.
18 Nov 2024 12:11:43
Diomande 4.5m, Bajrami 3.5m, Jefte 800k Igamana 1.8m, Barron 500k/ 1m let's see what we get in return for them once sold it will definitely be far more that payed westender, Koppen has been top notch at his job at all his previous clubs making them a fortune just hope he continues his great work at Rangers.

Gees, Gerrard didn’t make the decision on Morelos. We valued him at £20m and Lille offered €20m. The negotiation didn’t progress (much to our surprise) and that was that.

Allen was criticised at the time and there were a lot of strange free transfer signings, mostly wingers, like Barker, Jones and even Stewart and the odd flop like Grezda, but he and Gerrard did at least build a team to win the league. There were a lot of good signings who stayed with us a few years and helped drag the club back to being competitive . I`ve always described Wilson as a myth although he seemed better at selling players than buying them. You forgot to add in the 8 or 9 signed by Beale as well.
The jury is out on Koppen with so far only really Barron and Jefte being successful but there is still time for a few others to come good .

Ok Star, let's see. I have a funny feeling that this will end up like your previous predictions. Just read Propper already wants out in January. Could be clickbait but it wouldn't surprise me in the slightest.
18 Nov 2024 14:30:12
They cost around 12m westend we get far more in returns for they 5,would be very happy with Propper going in January can't see us losing any money if he goes back to the same club they weren't happy with the fee received.
18 Nov 2024 15:07:09
No we won't star. We'll lose money.
18 Nov 2024 15:13:52
Not even a remote chance of that.
18 Nov 2024 15:37:17
Heard it before, only last season infact.
18 Nov 2024 16:22:53
We ain't losing 12m on they 5 just not a chance.
18 Nov 2024 16:47:25
hope proper wants out he’s Horrible, Break even would be great struck me as a panic buy we couldn’t run with what we had into the season.
18 Nov 2024 16:50:23
No one said we'd lose 12m did they, but we won't make more than we paid and we'll probably lose a quarter of that 12mil.
18 Nov 2024 17:04:38
What players don't we make cash on? Bajrami for 3.5m was a great buy, Barron 500k/ 1m, Jefte 800k, Diomande 4.5m, Igamana 1.8m, were selling a couple of them for more than fees paid.
18 Nov 2024 18:16:53
Bajrami, Dio, Igamane, Propper, Cortes we won't make cash. Barron and Jefte maybe, but I think Barron will be here for his career.
18 Nov 2024 18:26:58
I reckon you will be wrong with both Diomande Bajrami, we're not losing anything on Igamana and can't see it with Propper either if he returns in January, Cortes was wanted by Rangers before Koppen was even here, they 5 players I mentioned bring in more than 12m and very easily at that.
18 Nov 2024 19:32:43
Not sure the story is that Propper wants out, its just wee Derek Ferguson saying that we should get rid of him in January .
18 Nov 2024 20:36:29
I reckon you'll be wrong again.
18 Nov 2024 23:47:01
I doubt we make any. Money on Diomande. He's been nothing short or pish.
