Official Tom Lawrence announced

[Belfastblue85]

A new striker only comes in if/when Roofe goes (imo)

Agreed. Would still like another one though

 

[HMS.Temple.Garden]

35 goals in 180 appearances.. no idea about this guy, but these numbers are very poor for a striker!

But in Gio we trust! Good luck son!

he has more goals than Kent over similar number of games at Derby and he isn't a striker

He is no a striker ffs.

 

[PeterMSVO86]

Great Signing for us

 

[Jamiek1992]

Personally I think he's a cracking signing. Done well with Derby and another leader in the dressing room.

Welcome to the gers!

 

[Helensburgh True Blue]

Great signing. Welcome Tom I’m sure he’ll prove the doubters wrong.

 

[renfrewger]

Roughly in his peak right now, not too worried about lacking too many goals in his whole career, 16 goal contributions in 38 games last season is pretty good. Playing at Rangers is a different beast compared to Derby too, he will have far more chances. Freshens up our attack too, especially as he can play a few positions. For a free transfer I think this is a great signing

 

[Bathgate Bear]

Welcome to Rangers Tom

 

[MO_TxTruBlu]

2 signing in a day!

Feels like Christmas Mr Lawrence

Ground Control to Major Tom
Watch That Man
Dancing With The Big Boys

 

[Barca Bear]

Was it Mikhailichenko that was called Tam by some?

Buffel for me.

 

[Pirlo]

I keep an open mind. Apologies for my quote to yourself.

I'm sure he will be a superb asset to the squad though.

Fingers crossed mate! Haven’t watched him too much so looking forward to seeing what he has

Is he not more like an attacking midfield type guy?

 

[CooperBlu11]

This doesn't scream a guy Gio would have his eye on. Smacks of a cheap board signing. Hope to %^*& there isn't trouble behind the scenes.

 

[Grimsdale]

Confession time. Never heard of him. But plenty caps and experience what can go wrong ? Welcome aboard, make us proud.

 

[Odin1972]

All these critics in the transfer thread, wonder if they are happy now, probably not.

Rangers doing their work quietly and efficiently.

Hold onto your hats !

They will never be happy. Football is a continuum like most things if you start negatively no matter the interim highs, your negative outlook will be justified on a long enough time line. Staunch c unts vs entropy should be the name of every transfer window thread.

what a weird take!

 

[CooperBlu11]

Well a player he's scouted and requested and see's as a key part of the way he wants to play. This smacks of the board saying 'here you go, do what you want with him'

No harm but what a load of tripe

Would take that for second and third choice if Roofe goes IMO.

Super would probably still get near to being top goalscorer.

We'll see.

Calm down Poirot.

Nothing like a 2+2=5 post.

 

[IbroxForever]

Nice one, welcome to the club.

 

[niceonecyril]

Reckon Tom Lawrence will surprise many on here. A good signing who will do very well.

 

[Swinton Ger]

Welcome to the Greatest Club in the World Tom WATP!!!

We'll see.

Bundle of joy

[Odin1972]

Can all the moaning bastards please leave the forum and let us happy supporters be happy please?

Draining bastards.

Welcome to Rangers Tom!

People on this forum and I have to say particularly the new money ball breed. Look at a set of stats, analyse a footballer and simply state how good or bad he is. There is no correction for league position or expectation, time with the ball, role in the team. By their own admission these “stats” show that Ryan Kent is poor defensively. Anyone who watches football knows that’s bollocks. De Boer wouldn’t have been near Rangers given their metrics. I know there will be Lawrence isn’t exactly De Boer rhetoric which to an extent is understandable, but on the other hand I say that you prove entirely my point. Football isn’t a collection of statistics. Even moneyball itself may have been an outlier. How shit would Ray Wilkin’s stats have looked. Could control a game by taking up positions. We’re they challenges no. We’re they contests. No. Did he win aerial duels? No. Was he good enough for peak AC Milan and England yes….. Enough with the FIFA graphs please!

We've had a Director of Football for five years now.

 

[ThumpThumpThump]

Always at the exact hour timed. (announcements).
I'm excited for this player.

You can schedule tweets

 

[104Bear]

I have similar feelings to this one as when we signed Nacho. A wee priceless, gold nugget.

 

[ThumpThumpThump]

Contract length?

Standard A4 paper. 297mm x 210mm.

Gid lad Tam. Welcome.

 

[Guerilla]

Snide articles in the red tops coming in 3, 2, 1.......

Luckily none of us should see them

 

[The Lone Sniper]

A very decent, versatile British player in his prime who scores and creates - on a Bosman.

Job's a good un!

 

[tazzabear]

Edit. Fucking going loopy.
Too embarrassed to even tell you lot what I did.

Go on, you’ll feel better getting it off your chest.
And, I need a laugh!

 

[rossgers]

Good to see another British player in the squad.

 

[Kelpie]

Should I be excited by this guy?

 

[dunn1872]

35 goals in 180 appearances.. no idea about this guy, but these numbers are very poor for a striker!

But in Gio we trust! Good luck son!

Mental that you would go and check his stats and post them but not check up on what position he plays.

I haven’t read the full thread but, are you suggesting Wilson is due some praise?

 

[Burton blue]

Superb signing!!!

How long before the rhebel press drag up the story about the infamous Christmas party at Derby county

Not shocking, just a poor show.
