On the topic of our defence, or serious lack of one, will we have the funds to replace the entire back line, will we even be able to attract the quality players we need desperately and then we have the added bonus of the Thelwell cartel pulling the strings behind the scenes.
Are you confident this can be achieved successfully, I'm certainly not.

If we don't make the European group stages (which we won't) or win the league (which we won't) then the board will struggle to balance the books, never mind finding 2 Lbs, 1 Rb and potentially 3/ 5 Cbs.
Meghoma - Loan
Djiga - Loan
Aarons - Loan
Cornelius - Loan W/ Option
Souttar - Out of Contract
Tav - Out of Contract
Nsiala - Out of the Picture
Fernandez - Never in the Picture
Sterling - Picture up in the physios room
We are chaos head to toe. I'm just glad the Yanks have deep pockets, they're going to need them.

Gogic and Bashiri from our league walk into this team. Tackle, win headers, a bit of pace and solid. Even Iredale of Hibs looks decent. International players as well i believe. The snobbery needs to stop. We have signed great players from our own league. Walter always picked a few up for his teams.

We won't have the funds to replace the whole defence and the manager may not want to as he may feel we need strengthen elsewhere also.
Left back and possibly a centre half but we currently have 5 centre halfs at the club.

We can if we stop being lazy, do. our homework shop outside of England. We have had a back four with players from Croatia, Romania, USA, Bosnia, Scotland and have done well but wherever market we shop in, Thelwell simply cannot be trusted with spending our money in the next transfer window and beyond.

I've just read Thewell's reply when asked about the 8 million for Chermiti. He said he was informed that this boy was going to be worth much more very soon so he'd better get in quick. Staggering answer.
24 Oct 2025 18:03:13
Short answer Shota, No.
Add to that list that January is even harder to get decent players in.

I'm sure Everton have an absolutely hopeless defender on their books, somebody who's only won one header in the last three years. It's okay though, you can't pass judgement after 200 hours of football so let's go all in and pay £10m for said player.
Or perhaps Thelwell mates a Peterborough need to top up the coffers, I'm sure they have although dud we could sign? Yes dud after 100 hours of football.

Would definitely take both, I've no problem in getting players from our league but sadly can't see it, more dross from down south most probably, would hope Rohl might know a wee gem fae Germany or two.

Amazing how we can see this Shota but guys paid hundreds of thousands a year cannot. We play these teams 4 times a year. Free scouting 1st hand. Unbelievable.

Doesn't matter how deep the pockets of the owners are, they can't just bank roll new players constantly with the rules in place.

They weren't that decent when we bet them the other month mate. Gawny need to aim a bit higher. That being said all the Rangers class attitude from some fans needs altered. Cany live in the past.
24 Oct 2025 20:54:03
Gogic and Bashiri, jeez oh, have we fallen that far. Both these guys would fit right into the mediocrity. We signed Souttar two seasons ago, supposedly the best centre back in the division and he doesn't even measure up to the level of Goldson, Balogun, Helander and co.
never mind our top level centre backs of the past. Its not snobbery its just that some of us feel we should aim higher than being second in a two horse race. Its not like St Mirren an Hibs haven't been battered in Europe by mediocre teams too.
24 Oct 2025 21:47:00
All about opinions wslgers and franco. Bashiri was class for Hibs in Europe imo. Gogic is a solid unit who reminds me of Big Marv. Body on the line stuff. We have powderpuff CBs who are worth millions apparently.
We are 6th in the league and have won jack s*** in years. Rangers class is a thing we are all holding onto. We are in the trenches.
