well done gers, a welcome break from the noise of the playground, we are 3 players away from a decent team, a string centre half, a shooting mid and a supersub striker, along with losing a few, its time to concentrate in europe and Scottish cup.
We must go forward in europe and must get into cl quals. we will, and we will probably sell igamane and raskin in summer for plenty, the rebuild has begun, ignore the children.
12 Jan 2025 17:22:25
Tom we need more than 3 mate. 2 ch an attacking midfielder a winger and another striker that's only to go into the 2st team but guys like dowell matondo dessers Lawrence all need to go to bring in money I'd also look for a keeper imo Kelly ain't the level needed.
12 Jan 2025 17:26:58
I agree Tom we're not far away but we need to win away constantly, Diomande will bring goals from cm but agree we need a goalscoring cm good for 10+ a season and very good cb, think we're fine for cf's just now, in the summer yes, we need to give Lovelace some game time.
Don't even want to post about them today, just a pure disgrace.
12 Jan 2025 17:34:45
Absolute tosh.
3 players away what games do you watch?
We are dreadful and three players will not solve it.
12 Jan 2025 17:51:26
We need a lot more than 3 players that's for sure. Tho Cortes may grow like a flower ?.
12 Jan 2025 18:03:48
We lost the 2nd half 1-0. I'm sorry guys but we need more than 3 players if we are to mount any kind of challenge next season. I agree Dessers, Dowell, Matondo etc all need to go. The strength in depth just isn't there plus Cerny won't be there next season.
12 Jan 2025 18:10:39
I'm meaning a cb and goalscoring cm that's the 2 I'd like this window, seemingly a few ooc players we're trying to get signed for the summer, we definitely need a stronger squad, once players are back fit we've got a good staring 11 a good players on our bench.
12 Jan 2025 18:17:15
Three players away from a decent team? We beat the bottom of the league side 3-1. They won the second half. Then we sell our two best players Igamane and Raskin! Exactly how do we improve whilst doing that?
12 Jan 2025 18:24:04
Need a class keeper, was a Butland fan but the more I see him the more I think we need a keeper, as for kelly he is shocking.
12 Jan 2025 18:29:00
3 players my backside. Christ, we'd need to replace the two players you've mentioned (our two best players) and Cerny (our next best player) but yeah we're 3 off turnover a 20 point deficit, Jesus Christ.
12 Jan 2025 18:33:41
Recruitment has definitely improved in the last few windows.
12 Jan 2025 18:43:56
We definitely have a goalscoring winger in vaclav cerny who'd hit double figures every season for us and it's a pity we more than likely won't be able to sign him permanently ☹️.
12 Jan 2025 18:45:51
Butland is a better keeper than kelly, i've absolutely no doubt about that? Still to see it myself but heard the man utd keeper was immense against the arsenal this afternoon ?.
12 Jan 2025 18:49:29
Twoleftfeet we hammered the team at the top of the table 10 days ago. say 5 players signed before next season.
12 Jan 2025 18:54:19
Thank goodness finally discussing football again. Think we're a long way from just 3 players away but as we only likely to get possibly 2 in I'm with Mystar CB is essential and a goalscoring mid is something we've lacked for a long time.
12 Jan 2025 18:54:51
I think what today showed more than anything was really a lack of depth. Our 1st 11 has at time played very well (I know there are injuries), but at this moment it feels a definite drop off when we bring on subs. Which is why for me at least 3 more 1st 11 players are needed. It's a squad game and our squad is a little too thin, even when all fit.
12 Jan 2025 19:03:39
Can someone explain to me whose decision it was for hagi to be marking one of st Johnstone biggest players?
12 Jan 2025 19:07:44
My Star, Celtic didn't turn up that day, wouldn't read too much into that result and in any case followed up with a draw with a weakened Dundee side? Are you serious suggesting we have turned the corner?
12 Jan 2025 19:14:21
We can't be as bad as some make out and maybe a few quality additions will make a huge difference - you don't do as well in Europe as we have been doing - currently 8th is Europa league I think - if we don't have some good players - also took them apart albeit little too late but still
Shows what we are capable of - since souttar went off injured we have struggled and with no balogun it's propped and a guy from the B team or Sterling - we need a strong CB pairing and we will notice an improvement ??????.
12 Jan 2025 19:34:58
We need in the region of 9 players before next season. It's not just the starting 11, it's about building depth, replacing the likes of Cerny and improving the overall quality. That will have to be a combination of hopefully 2 players now, 2 or 3 youth players stepping up between now and end of next season and then good transfer business in the summer. I am not confident we'll achieve all of this before next season as outgoings need to be achieved for those poor high earners who need to move on.
12 Jan 2025 19:44:01
I must have missed the rule change as well. How many points do you get for winning the second half these days?
we were cruising and once again took our foot off the pedal. first 25 minutes we were 3 up and difficult to keep going when they are so poor.
TT means adding 3 players to our first team this season now and then we would add again in summer depending on what the manager thinks we need and to replace anyone leaving. It is about finding consistency away from home; no-one really believes we will reel in a 20 point deficit.
12 Jan 2025 19:49:52
The won the second half? That's not a real thing.
12 Jan 2025 20:05:12
Lucky the game is 2 half's then and a think danelio is the super sub striker could use a third choice as dessers be away.
12 Jan 2025 20:12:42
we have a decent first 11 but our squad isn't strong enough once we take some of that 11 off we struggle as the subs are poor, yes we lost the second half 1-0 but the game lasts 90 mins and we won the game 3-1 plus all that went on in second half it no wonder it affected the players this idiots did nothing to help the team, we need players in and those players need to be starters or good enough to impact games.
12 Jan 2025 20:14:17
2 left feet. i'm surprised I was at the game and celtic were definitely there. they also definitely seemed to be trying until 5 minutes in when our press and counter-attacks had them on back foot. also in second half they had a spell where they were on top. however you keep believing that if it makes you feel better.
12 jan 2025 20:26:29
yet again reading the post isn't your strongest point
we need to concentrate this season on europe and cl qualification
nobody said we only need 3 players m, this january windo2, we ain't going to get mor3 than three are we?
for clarification, , we need to get to cl, its a must, we are imo 3 players we need as back up
a centre half
a mid who shoots and gets goals
and a striker who can come off the bench and get goaks when were struggling, , honestly its like some people just can't read properly, nobody said ir would be daft enough to say we only need 3 and were sorted, this league is gone, but rangers must get into cl qualifiers,
star, danillo doesn't and never will score a lot of goals
i have very little hope in lovelace, and iggy can't carry rangers himself, he isn't a poacher and could be gone at any minute, these are football facts
rangers right now need a ch, mid and poacher, to ensure we get into those champions league qualifiers.
12 jan 2025 20:29:05
dado, i get your hate i really do, but at least try to understand the post first mate eh
champions league qualification is paramount, nobody saud we only need 3 players
but we need back up because anything happens to iggy and we don't score goals
anything happens to anymore defenders and we lose goals
that explain anything to you ir you want to carry on with your hate?
12 jan 2025 20:32:27
thats at least 4 people who just didn't get it
we ain't getting any more than three in january
we must get champions league chance
, i never said we need three to be world champions, i said we need three now to get this season done n dusted,
12 jan 2025 20:38:26
monty, its about getting to next season mate, qualifying, we, at this moment in time are one or two injuries from utter disaster, that's what i mean by three players,
next t week let's say ie
soutters injury worse than feared
igga gets sold/ injured
raskin sold/ injured
dio sold/ injured
dessers gies
lovelace injured/ no good
anyone getting my point yet,
12 Jan 2025 20:38:46
To be fair to rangers TwoLeftFeet, it was a bit of both IE. rangers were superb and clement got his tactics bang on and having bajrami squeezing mcgregor stopped their playmaker and as i've said before, you stop mcgregor and you go a long way to getting a result against them ?Yes celtic had a few players below par but i have to give my club credit and we were superb against them and it most definitely should have been a lot more than 3-0?We allowed them a lot of possession in their own half and a few yards into our half and then hit them with the press, which worked a treat ???So common TwoLeftFeet, give rangers some credit mate ?.
12 Jan 2025 21:11:51
So play brilliantly against Celtic then canny beat a depleted Dundee side?
12 Jan 2025 21:18:13
I don't understand the pile on.
I got what you mean Tom. We need 3 just get through this season. And I agree with that.
As you state, a few bad injuries or players leaving and we are caught short it could end our season in a bad way. And have a knock effect next season.
It's absolutely paramount to make the Champs league qualies and give the fans something to cheer by hopefully lifting the Scottish cup.
12 Jan 2025 21:59:25
We ain't getting 3 in January either maybe you missed what PS said TT eh? He said one two max so that means less than 3 hope that helps ?.
12 Jan 2025 22:53:15
Twoleftfeet, lol 100% nonsense, never turned up ??? never turned up because Rangers played them off the park, should have beat them in the cup final as well, 100% tims patter ?.
12 Jan 2025 22:56:56
Twoleftfeet that just about as bad as Diomande being an awful player cc.
12 Jan 2025 23:05:19
I'm sure Tom was only talking about this window, I was, then after ows post, I felt i needed to explain I was only talking about a cb and goalscoring this window.
Tom i like Danilo just behind the striker mate.
13 Jan 2025 01:18:56
Raskin, igamane and Cerny are our best player and one is on loan , Jefte could turn into a really good player and if Soapy was injury free would be Scotlands best CB, every other player could be transferred out and we would gamble on the replacement being better.
13 Jan 2025 11:51:27
Storm I believe we will see three, reason I say this is ps not daft, if he said 3/ 4 incoming and we infact only get two or one fans will slaughter him
On Friday we had a meting recruitment team Stewart clement kloppen, they have i'd three positions to try and fill, ch, midfield and winger and have determined targets for each position numbered 1-3, now kloppen role to get whoever in
Also storm do u think pre contract count in numbers for January if we don't bring in right away
Also told yesterday that, we. Have received further offers dessers Lawrence Matondo Dowell and enquiry re yilmaz but no offer.
Also chatter re propper returning to Holland, twente
This does not include Stevens Lowry Devine Budanaukas
Looks like Lovelace and Curtis going out on loan.
13 Jan 2025 12:48:25
Coopersdad! Possibly some of the most over dramatic cr@p I've read on here for some time.
13 Jan 2025 15:05:29
Brilliant John, cheers for the update.
I would imagine we will see at least one sign before the end of this week. I won't ask you to name names John because I know that people love to point out when reliable posters are wrong but if you do know some names, do they excite you to any degree?
