I see Gerrard strongly hinting at new signings coming in! Well I am happy to admit I may have got that one wrong, let's hope so 🤠Can't help thinking we must also be moving some out at the same time, we'll see.

Hi Muppet,
I think that we forget how many players we actually have on the books and therefore how many we are letting go of that maybe fly under the radar.
Someone mentioned before the release of Pena and Herrera freeing up wages which is true. But there are more to consider.
Already left/ going - Foderingham, Alnwick, Flanagan, Halliday, Rossiter, Holt, Ojo, Kamberi.
So that's 8 spaces and 8 more wages (whether we paid some or all of these) before we let any more go. Having said that we most likely will let more go. Not because we are skint but it just makes sense and we need to make sense financially and for our future youth coming through.
I reckon we will still see 2 or 3 of the following go - Jones, Middleton, Murphy, Barker and Hastie.
Also things will come to a head this window or next for Barjonas and/ or Docherty.
This gives us at least 10 bodies out. Having only brought in 2 first team players.
19 Jun 2020 10:40:32
Of those mentioned as possibly going the only one I would like to see stay is Murphy since I still believe that he can do a job for us. I suspect that Middleton and Hastie will go back out on loan and being blunt, I don't think we would miss any of the others including Barjonas and Docherty. We do however need to bring in players of a significantly higher standard than those leaving.
19 Jun 2020 10:56:10
Get rid of Goldson and Kamara also. That will bring in some transfer funds.
19 Jun 2020 11:02:09
Ross Wilson ang SG are doing a lot of work behind the scenes. I am expecting a couple of blue chip signings. Hopefully, very soon.
19 Jun 2020 11:03:46
Hopefully we'll get Kamberi back on a permanent dealðŸ‘.
19 Jun 2020 12:11:11
I agree get kamberi back in, good squad player.
19 Jun 2020 12:22:54
Keep jones docherty middleton latter 2 prob o out on loan
Sell or release murphy hastie barker goldson
Katic i think is our best cb
Get another top striker in
Kamberi would just be a squad player others would be put in front of him same as jones but still think there more to come from jones.
19 Jun 2020 12:31:05
INTR, I agree about Katic, imagine what he would be like if he had someone like Davie Weir to sort out his positioning.
19 Jun 2020 12:55:11
Katic will get better with experience. A no nonsense defender like Helander beside him help matters.
19 Jun 2020 14:50:55
Coldo have to disagree I hope kamberi doesn’t come back he just isn’t good enough.
19 Jun 2020 15:54:33
Kamberi could do a turn for us! he's not a first choice striker but wouldn't be a bad signing.
19 Jun 2020 18:51:43
Agreeing pretty much with all comments above. I’m still unsure about Jones, he played well for Ireland and is definitely a decent player, like to see him again this season injury free think he has something to give. Seems Gerrard was very confident about the signings and I’m sure he has a definite or two already lined up which makes me wonder if Tapia is coming. What you think?
19 Jun 2020 23:22:04
Kamberi would be an easy decision for me.
I'd also agree with the comment on how many players we have on books. We have about 8 central midfielders and only 1 or 2 are good / consistent enough and if truth be told even those two wouldn't make a real Rangers team.
We need to rid the deadwood and bring in quality.
20 Jun 2020 00:04:26
I agree. Get rid of the deadwood but some are happy to pick up wages until there contract runs out. We do not want to return to the position of paying players to leave.
20 Jun 2020 02:58:18
Not good enough? He was our best player.
20 Jun 2020 00:47:10
From what I hear from a friend SG isn't happy with wide options. Hastie and Middleton will head out on loan and if suitable deals barker Jones and Murphy will all be moved on. 2 new wide men will come in. If possible polster will move on if we get a suitable replacement cover RB. 1 GK will be brought in with mccrorie twins both heading back out on loans, GK one will be challenging for no1 season starting 2021
There could be first team players sold with morelos (SG wants to keep but some offers are too good to turn down) and tav possible exits. Toney from English league 1 will come in weather morelos stays or goes. Look for us to use the likes of Patterson, Kennedy, kelly and other youth players when needed as they are getting closer to first team.
