Juat my opinion but I don't see us buying a lb as I don't think Rm has the cahones to drop his captain and let max play in his preferred position. Obvs he is a loan so ad imagine he has something written in contract to play games. This is possibly why he's playing in front of Jefte. can't drop the captain regardless of what you think of him. Don't get me started on him lol
As much as we hope that lb is position that will be addressed. I just don't see it.
Imho of course.

Lb will be signed 12th man.
01 Aug 2025 17:58:01
I think we should hive RM till the Celtic game to see if any of his tactics make sense. I for one think the players look as confused as me at times. Motherwell will be a very good first test and I think a few of our lads ( RM) are in for a shock at the intensity of the game up here.

Literally said today aarons not long term LB option.
01 Aug 2025 18:04:45
The manager has confirmed that Aarons playing at LB is only temporary, we'll be bringing a new left back in before the window closes.
01 Aug 2025 18:05:37
You're entitled to your opinion 12th man, but I don't agree with it. RM said in his press conference today that Aarons can play LB, but it's not his long term position. I'm paraphrasing here, but he also said that Jefte has potential, but areas he knows he needs to work on. He said Ridvan knows he can leave and he's considering a few options. Hopefully, we sign a new LB asap.
01 Aug 2025 18:07:35
12 man don't know if you heard rm tonight, arrons at lb is short term,
Says jefte has to improve, and basically Yilmaz has options away from the club. He said a number of players know what their future holds
I actually think we will bring in a lb.
01 Aug 2025 18:18:53
A proper LB is a must. Aarons RB, Tav drobs to bench surely.
01 Aug 2025 18:27:46
Thought that jefte did exceptionally well in greece wonder if we could play a 5 - 4 -1 with Tav moving just inside of the right back position and max takes the spot--or vice versa.
01 Aug 2025 18:32:37
John i thot he said jefte had options away from club. maybe i misheard and ads kept popping up. Ridvan would make more sense.
01 Aug 2025 18:39:28
So let me get this straight. It has now been said that Aarons has to play as it is in his loan contract. I think John alluded to it so I trust his opinion on this (as well as lots of other things) . the easiest way to fulfil that contract is to drop Tavs and play him in his correct position.
however rather than doing that, which would be easy as Tavs is rubbish and over the hill (surely the manager can see this as all the fans do) he has decided to drop our left back to give him those contracted games. the answer will be he doesn't want to drop our captain but Martin has already said he only gets to play on merit.
Wrexham documentaries have nothing on this. someone call Netflix and give them this story as it is a chart topper. if only we had thought of it sooner Coady would be here.
01 Aug 2025 18:49:59
No John. Not had a chance to catch the presser. I will go give it a listen, I take it he has stated he is buying one then by the replies?
Part of my post is abt the Tav issue. Do you see him dropping Tav amd playing max rb to allow new lb and Jefte by looks to fight it out. ?
01 Aug 2025 18:54:07
IMO, a left back should be a priority signing.
01 Aug 2025 19:00:03
Why would Russell Martin be scared to drop Tavernier? such a stupid post.
01 Aug 2025 19:00:27
Can maybe see us bring in an older more experienced lb for a season or two to aid Jeftes development . He has huge potential imo would really hate to see him wasted or sold.
01 Aug 2025 19:01:05
Not sure why you think we wouldn't it's pretty obvious we will 12th.
01 Aug 2025 19:05:46
Chz troops. Just watched it. Thanks for keeping me updated. I don't do social media and usually I get a you tube pong to tell me sumhin been pit on the Rangers you tube Channell.
Still got the rb issue though. Does he drop Tav for max if max isn't going to be playing lb.
Buzzing for the game tomoz. Bit of a weird time for an spl game but sky rule the roost at that end eh ?.
01 Aug 2025 19:10:07
We'll sign a left back 12th man i'm confident martin will ???.
01 Aug 2025 19:32:13
Quite a fair few captains at big clubs have not been regular starters some seasons for various reasons.
01 Aug 2025 19:53:37
Why would he sign aarons if he's got no intention of playing him.
01 Aug 2025 20:04:18
Boy blue. It's more abt the problems at rb mate
That it would create with max playing rb. That what I mean. Personally thought rm would be creating a headache he don't want by moving max to rb. It's clear and obvious that it is off balance with max at lb so keep playing him lb A long as he's getting mins that are no doubt included in contract.
Tav. Great reply ma man. ?Chz for yer input x.
01 Aug 2025 20:33:36
Normally i'd agree but being fair tav has been the most steady out of defenders in the two games.
