BlueSuedeSambas 53,775 Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 We need a new keeper.Bell shits himself if he gets to the edge of his six yard box so there's no way he's going to manage to effectively be a 'sweeper keeper' playing behind two ball playing defenders who could quite easily be stepping into midfield.

AlBear. 8,499 Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Smith has gone....McCrorie is still too young, maybe he will be loaned out! Kelly from what I have seen of the U'20s looks average at best! Perhaps I'm wrong thoughNo worries mate.Plenty on here assured us the last 2 years that these boys could step up and we had no need for 2 first team GK.Sure they'll be on soon...

BigAmo'sThighs 848 Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 A right back, a creative midfielder, a holding midfielder, a striker, a wide man or two, then a keeper. You can mix them about in a different order, but Keeper always comes last behind these positions. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kcd1983 25 Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Jamie McDonald is a poor keeper.....that would have been a McCoist type signing which I hope we have moved away fromJamie McDonald or cammy bell Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheQueensEleven 1,355 Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Our top priority should be building a team capable of competing at all levels of competition we're in and I think a new keeper should be included in that. Bell has been stinking since he came back from injury. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smile 26,600 Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Get a keeper in as the defence will always struggle with Bell behind them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
simplythebest 11,453 Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 I doubt anybody would even suggest Bell is to blame for everything but he simply hasn't proven to be good enough, at the very least we need to bring in a good goalkeeper to challenge him Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlBear. 8,499 Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 I can understand why many could think that a goalkeeper isn't a priority, a new defense should mean we lose less goals, Cammy prior to joining us was a good shot stopper who on his day was a cat against them. The issue is though,....well watch any game he's played - his communication is non-existant hence about 7 games from the last he is shouting at Mohsni for headering clear when he didn't call for it then just minutes later all the defense leaves it for Cammy and Cammy doesn't go for it either, his distribution is piss, doesn't comman the area or organise his defense, how often does he save nevermind make a good save?, he picks it out more than he saves regardless of who we're playing unless you count pass backs and fluffed efforts.If the thinking is Cammy's here so he'll be the keeper, then you could say the same for Miller and Clark- does that mean we don't need a stiker/targetman? Clark was basically our top scorer afterall. A keeper that saves shots and does the basics is worth points to your season and gets you through rounds in the cup - can we say Cammy does that for us? He must be the only keeper in football that fans say "awh well there was nothing he could do about that goal" in reference to EVERY goal scored in at him. He's been rotten and I think a new keeper has to take his place to get him to get his shit together at least.Ideally we'd get both sorted.However for me, a proven goal scorer is a far bigger priority than replacing Bell right now. Nicky Law was our top scorer last season. That needs addressed. We are addressing the defensive frailties currently. A better defence takes pressure off the GK and a more relaxed Bell should be more than adequate for this season. IMO. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlBear. 8,499 Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Like MW has said on numerous occasions. We won't be rushing signings, we'll be bringing in the right players. Not panicking and bringing in 'someone'.If the right GK is not available right now, then we won't just be bringing in someone to 'challenge' Bell. We tried that and it garnered wide spread criticism.

muldoon1690 151 Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Cierniak at Dundee Utd is out of contract. if be quite happy with Bell and him fighting for a place. Then look to strengthen when we get back to the premiership. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlBear. 8,499 Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Well that's the situation for me.We needed two CB's that can head, man mark and defend - we've got that. We need two central mid's that can dictate play, be a brick wall to the opposition and pick a pass - Eustace may be one of them. We need a target man & a goalscorer/whippet. We need a good goalkeeper.That's only 7 players so I see no reason why we can't get both - we need both. We've released 10 players, ideally we'd get rid of more, we have investment, we have a new and inspiring management team - is getting a goalkeeper on free that's capable of making a decent save and that can do the basics so out of reach? A spine is the most cost effective transfer signing list we could have as we don't have one, we've started on it - we even had a supporting CB, a goalkeeper should and I hope is on the list. We may need to wait until early to mid July on wrapping up some free signing or getting a loan but Cammy Bell picked it out more often than he saved last season and that's simply not good enough if you intend to win the Championship and even just win the games you are playing better than the opposition - how many times did we lose goals against the run of play last season?!Ultimately I don't see it as being a Striker OR Goalkeeper situation, I think we need and can get both. Make Cammy number two.Are you Reformation Bear in disguise?Like I said earlier, it depends if the right candidate is available. If due to circumstances MW is content to go with Bell and an academy back up, I'll support that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlBear. 8,499 Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 I somewhat know the name but I am not sure if he is a prick or not and thus I'm not sure if i should be insulted by the comparison. What I will clarify is that I have always been on this name and only use this name, I float about here and RangersChat.You'll know him. He's the guy who frequently posts huge essays on his opinions. Wasn't meant as insulting. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tumshie 205 Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 If Eustace comes in this week then I doubt we will have any more signings coming in until Warburton and Weir fully assess the squad in pre-season training. Wouldn't mind seeing Liam Kelly sent out on loan and MW has already said he would use the loan market when necessary so could see a keeper coming here on a loan deal.

YouStayClassySanGovano 57 Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Rather see us give one of the younger prospects a chance rather than Cammy the fanny.Bit risky though so prob bring someone in.

bluenoz 30,821 Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 We are stuck with Cammy's contract, so unless someone is willing to take it, it's either him or one of the youngsters. Can't see any newcomer getting signed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
