Was told earlier that we are interested in a CB will fish. He was on loan at hibs but have no idea of his current situation.
27 Dec 2024 17:48:23
He signed for Cardiff on a 5 year deal
In the summer. not a good sign if they would ship him out already.
27 Dec 2024 18:07:30
He can’t get game time at Cardiff. Involved in three games, total 175 minutes, unlikely to be match sharp,
27 Dec 2024 19:04:58
Hope not he’s very average.
27 Dec 2024 19:06:50
Surely nsiala gets in before fish?
27 Dec 2024 19:08:51
We should go and bring in simon kjaer on a short term deal, as i'd imagine he's kept himself fit.
27 Dec 2024 19:50:39
Sws he's same age as balogun and not kicked a ball this season i just don't see the quality you do.
27 Dec 2024 19:57:27
What does King and nsiala need to do to get a game as propper has cost us too many games. I also agree we need experiance CB in short term i am sure there is still a few who are free.
27 Dec 2024 20:05:02
If we are looking at somebody of the standard of Will Fish it really is time to chuck it . He was hopeless up here with Hibs.
27 Dec 2024 20:34:24
Sir Walter… keeping himself fit is not the same as ready to be throwing in right away. Hopefully the will fish rumour is a fake.
27 Dec 2024 20:37:31
It's been painfully obvious for a while that Proper cannot be relied upon. King or nsiala should be given minutes over him until we sign a reinforcement. They'll only get better with game time, and I honestly don't think they'd be weaker than proper has been. He needs to go back to Holland where the game seems to suit him better.
27 Dec 2024 21:00:58
@John2561 - you mentioned Johnly Yfeko on another thread. Can Rangers take him back at end of loan as Bayern did with Tillman or is he lost to us if Exeter take up option? No idea how this one was structured. I see Caldwell rates him very highly (at least before his injury) .
27 Dec 2024 21:11:31
We've Ben Davies that should be brought back in.
27 Dec 2024 21:22:08
Told you before that we were in talks with Kjaer but I haven't heard anything since. He's maybe not played but he could probably do better than Propper.
27 Dec 2024 21:31:18
Will Fish - Cockney rhyming slang.
27 Dec 2024 21:46:41
King has never been a good centre half, I know some people have spoken about him perhaps playing a defensive midfielder. I have to say, I’d prefer him playing centre half before Proper, I can forgive King making mistakes more than a seasoned pro like proper.
27 Dec 2024 22:09:50
King isn't good enough or he would have had a chance (again) already and Nsiala is obviously not ready.
27 Dec 2024 22:21:37
Can only remember of Fish playing a few games but did think he'll play at a higher level (league wise) still only 21 but think we'll sign a better cb in January, we need to.
27 Dec 2024 22:55:31
Given that the league is now totally dead following yesterday’s result I don’t see the benefit in bringing in a short term signing (of the Kjaer ilk - wasn’t keen on him specifically in any case) .
If we have already identified a CB who is starting 11 ready and with potential to improve then happy days but if we aren’t going to achieve that this window then save the cash/ wages and utilise in the summer window when deals are generally easier/ cheaper and instead recall Davies from his loan, giving us a rotation of soutar, balogun, Davies and blood in Nsiala with proper hopefully being sold back to a Dutch team (if the rumours are to be believed) .
27 Dec 2024 23:59:24
We should sign Fish just for the halibut. although it might give P. C. a selection haddock.
I'll get my coat.
28 Dec 2024 06:46:53
The league is over? A few days ago people on here said it was all to play for because Celtic drew a game against Dundee United. People were also laughing at Aberdeen dropping points. I think the St. Mirren result has brought many crashing back to reality. That’s a good thing because I’m sick of hearing talk of progression when this team is clearly going backwards. Third place, the regression in Butland is staggering, Scottish Cup all that’s left to play for. Rangers could finish this season 20+ points behind Celtic and in third place. What progress? We are worse now than when Clement came in.
28 Dec 2024 06:56:03
Wowreally, sorry, but you really haven't got a clue about the game if you can't see the progression.
28 Dec 2024 07:29:42
wowreally, bang on the mark there is no progression, all we have done lately is paper over the cracks. Standards have fallen drastically and to many are willing to accept them.
28 Dec 2024 07:46:44
One of the obsessed my star. Best ignored.
28 Dec 2024 08:22:50
Really fife lol, so you can't see any progression either ?, tells me enough.
28 Dec 2024 08:28:37
only thing it tells you my star is that I expect more from Rangers than we are getting from them, that includes players management and the board.
28 Dec 2024 08:44:24
Fife the progression is there though, wiped 6m off the wage budget in one window and buying future talent with very little cash we have and we can see the upturn in form the last 6 weeks, yes a poor result against St Mirren but we'll have many more bumps in the road but far to many throw in the towel far to quickly and success never happens instantly like many fans want not even with 100's of millions involved.
28 Dec 2024 09:02:52
my star I get what you are saying but we are going backwards on the pitch falling further behind the east end mob. St Mirren was bad but even the win against Dundee was a hard watch, people were leaving Ibrox at half time in that game (3 in the row in front of me and the guy who sits next to me), our best performances have been in Europe as that seems to suit our style of play but league games apart from Killie have been poor to watch. I know we seem to disagree but that is fine as we can't all agree all the time ?.
28 Dec 2024 09:08:45
I agree Dado ?leon king is a much better defensive mid that's his best position.
28 Dec 2024 09:27:19
Sorry fife, the football is going backwards, I must be watching different football from you the last 6 weeks mate.
28 Dec 2024 09:30:16
Falling further behind them but very unlucky not to beat them in the final,10 shots on target against 6,Butland 3 saves Schmeichel 7,that doesn't look like falling further behind to me fife.
28 Dec 2024 09:54:10
Dado/ Coops, John informed me a gd while back that Leon King was a natural DM converted to a CH, think it was a needs must position at the time, as we were light on CH's.
28 Dec 2024 10:24:37
Walter has king ever played defensive mid at first team level, or r u referring to him in the academy at 15/ 16.
28 Dec 2024 10:58:56
OWS, this age thing especially for a centre half is only words mate ? What age was big davie weir when he signed for us and how superb was he for us, over to you ?Simon kjaer is a quality centre half my friend and could easily play in scottish football with his eyes shut for a couple of seasons ? If he's got no injury issues, get kjaer signed ?.
28 Dec 2024 10:59:38
king and fish not good enough. Surly we can set out sights higher.
28 Dec 2024 11:50:28
Sorry no point in we nearly
Truth is we are crap
Proper is crap
We are nowhere near them
So we nearly won one game against them
N people think we have progressed we ain't
We dot cut it in Scotland
Hard truth
We struggle to much against
Dundee
St mirren
Motherwell
It's the facts n it's the truth
We play two good games then lose
No consistency hard truth.
28 Dec 2024 12:01:24
SWS are you Simon Kjaer's agent? ? were you the guy in the photo with Dessers last week? he was decent but we don't know how match ready he is. 1 game not fit and he'll join the rinks of Balogon and Kasanjwiro.
28 Dec 2024 12:26:03
Krajer has not kicked a ball since May water please explain how he would be match fit, or fit as you call it, given hen has not trained with any team since May
Fork, yes a dam in our 16s. A good player at that level,
28 Dec 2024 12:51:24
We need too get a Scottish core
N really good spine in our team
Dominate in out league
Win week in and out
Then we can say there progress
We ain't one 5 domestic games in a row for God knows
Let's stop kidding ourselfs on
We are a mediocre team with more money than others
We ain't feared no. more
It pains me too say this
But it's fact x.
28 Dec 2024 13:29:32
I`m not getting involved in the sack Clement or not debate but to be fair what progression were fans really expecting this season . If Clement was given money like the previous managers he could have built on last season gradually but instead we have let too many players go and not had the finances to replace them. Some of them looked like their times were up and we criticised them but there is no doubt we were a stronger team and had a stronger squad last season than we have this season.
28 Dec 2024 15:22:37
Seen him play it once or twice John, 16s and B, liked to stride fwd and has a gd passing range. I may be wrong, but I'm sure he got 5 or 10 at DM in the first team. I think it may have been an injury switch.
28 Dec 2024 16:11:21
Good info fork, I can’t remember.
28 Dec 2024 17:29:07
Progression my star, really? The games won v Killie, Ross County and Dundee are games that every Rangers team should be winning with ease. Yet some were getting far too ahead of themselves and excited about those wins. Clement is a dud and should be gone if we lose on the 2nd.
