Don't change the subject.
I think it’s posted a number of times but this is a huge gamble from the board by not at least covering the injuries for a year at least.
For how long, before he pulls an eyelash and is out for another 9 months?
Over 40 million in upfront fees with more guaranteed add ons to come since the Gerrard compensation last November.
Do you think the squad is good enough to compete for every trophy available minus obviously europe? Honestly?
Why would he get banned for that?
Erm didn’t he play a massive part in getting us into the champions league? Or did I miss his heroic saves in Eindhoven
A previously linked striker available on a free. We have 3 first team strikers I’m not sure where you’re getting 4 from. We have Colak who’s fit and firing, Morelos who’s fighting to keep a place in the squad and only has 12 months left on his deal and Roofe who is regularly injured and we have no idea when he’ll be fit. I’d also be seeing Roofe as more of a right winger/attacker if he can maintain some fitness this season.
31 players if i’m not mistaken.
First of all you'll not be telling me or anyone else what to do or don't do.
We can't afford to wait long term, we need our best eleven now,
Well said short sighted penny pinching by a regime that I personally believe have “run their race” will gift wrap the title to the fat Aussie and see us in deep trouble in the CL. Gee thanks I’m so grateful, they need to understand that we are Rangers not Hertz or the sheep.
I’ve said earlier in the thread I thought we needed a midfielder and a RW, I have no control over that however and won’t work myself into a rage about it.
Trouble is at least 6 of them can’t be relied upon injury wise.
There's an OF matchday thread on Saturday to come.
Someone pls help us
Yeah so we’re short - a decision has been made with that in mind if you, I and everyone else knows it. There’s no immediate FFP concerns - this is planning for the future. It’s a conservative gamble rather than an (for lack of a better word) ambitious one. Which is becoming a theme over the last few windows.
Nine players on that list are injured or returning from injury.
You can put lines through, or question marks next to almost half of those in that list. And suddenly we don't look in quite the rude health the bare numbers would lead you to believe.
Let's see how he does in the champions league hees still very experienced in europe..
Aw naw,,
Mate I am trying to be realistic?
You nearly had me convinced then you mentioned Velicka and Beattie
If push came to shove, Sakala or Tilmann can play striker or very worst case, go to the B team. I will reiterate thats its just not feasable for us to have 4 striking options just incase we get an injury or 2.The guy makes very good and important points, esp the bit about part of the fan base being used to massive losses. The main point for me though is we have had 2 points in time 55 and this year in the cl group states to move the club onto a new level and both times we have failed.
A gk untested in Europe...?
We are Rangers mate so lets curb the chat about already giving them a title and wait and see what happens.
Any chance of a snapshot for the non twitterati amongst us.
The exact same point can be made to you in the opposite way.
Ffs let's see him against better quality
Skimmed it. Is the crux that we're shoring up our finances and keeping any money made for a rainy day?
Or lets not write him off when he’s looked good so far. Folk begging for him to make a mistake just to be proved right.
I don’t get the point on referring to previous years losses, a lot of which were fully converted to shares.
I'm the same as you regarding the squad, it's OK having a big squad but how many of that squad is fit just now when we need them as we have three big matches in a row coming up, sick of people on here saying he's to come etc,,, when? We need a full eleven first team players now.
I think we have to deal in reality. I’ll never surrender but you need to give yourself a chance. Still maybe we’ll sign a couple of free agents big Eck did that but in effect you are taking what no one else wanted.
