TheCutch 4,340 Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Did the window shut and I missed it or something?Can't believe people panicking already with almost 2 months of the window still to go. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianferguson 2,619 Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Mckay ?, Walsh?, Templeton certainly has the ability, Of the three Templeton is the least likely to feature as he may have ability but is made of glass and is not a team player. If Warburton makes a player of him then by fuck we've got ourselves a manager. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickygers 5 Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Badly crying out for a striker and a creative midfielder Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmcf 33,940 Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Not too worried about the standard of signings so far . I feel the quality of player in some of the lower / middle English divisions is higher than that of most spfl players. I do worry though , that , for MW to say he's going to play attack minded football , we're no further forward with midfield / striker positions as I don't think most of those already here , are good enough. I'm sure , though , in time , that will be addressed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigAmo'sThighs 848 Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 It strikes me that some fans would rather have McCoist back and just fill the squad with ageing ex players or bang average players we've played against that can "do a job" We've been crying out for years about a lack of foresight... Warburton comes in with nothing but foresight, a promise to bring the average age down, utilise the youth system, play attacking football and develop players. Yet because we haven't spunked 7k a week on Jon Daly or Ian black, they think we've got a poor calibre of player. I think it's pretty obvious but a good manager, with some right ideas that can coach his team well is going to do better than our last attempt, which was picking 11 players with no gameplan Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drunk and disorderly. 14,208 Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 I think we need to add to the squad. A good srriker and a right back at least.I trust our management team, but not having seen our new signings in action, I don't have blind confidence that our present squad will win the championship. As things stand if we don't sign the right players we may have to rely on the January transfer window to boost signings. Always an element of risk there.

Blueshoff 11,530 Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Irrespective of peoples opinion of the signings, the way MW has gone about them and the trialists is a refreshing change. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WilliamFyfe 1,438 Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 I think we've done well so far Warburton will be looking at the squad and seeing who he'll probably use next year Some players might surprise us from last year under himI hope we sign another 5 players I feel we need RB, CM, CM, LW, ST, ST Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan_1 1,136 Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 The defence is much better than last season. We've improved there. We do need a couple midfielders and a striker to be happy but I'm sure they'll follow in due course. Patience is a virtue. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zulu 981 Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Wonder why Rangers went to England to get a manager when there fukin ten a penny on RM Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tontospal 1,116 Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 I think many are falling in to the old trap of defending everything Rangers without being objective, totally understandable as that is what supporting your club is often about.I agree with the points made about signings to date. Apart from Wilson and the keeper (who has played a lot of games for his age) to date there is little to get excited about.Those brought in May prove to be excellent acquisitions or duds whilst those left over from last season may improve or may fail to deliver again.All we can do is wait and see and trust that the new manager knows what he is doing and delivers. Time will tell so no need getting too excited or despondent now before a ball is kicked. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
quabba 440 Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 We need to see how the team plays before coming to the conclusion that their pish already. I trust MW and DW and I'm willing to give them time.There's still plenty of time and I'm sure MW is aware of what we need.We will be fine Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMax399 3,631 Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 I think we will be alright. I'm sure MW knows what he is looking for to be honest, given the time available to build a team. Granted, we are not signing big names for big prices but we can't go down that route right now (and possibly not in the future) but he is strengthening our defence which is a must based upon last year.We need someone up front, so I'd like to see someone coming in, unless MW feels he can employ somebody already on the books to do this? I'm not sure who this would be. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NetherburnBear 173 Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Ball not even been kicked, transfer window still open, players still being linked to us, Warburton going to London to look at Strikers.Folk still no happy.Its the Rangers fans ( big ?) Way iam happier this close season than iv been in a long while ,I like the look of the defence and i like the way hes setting us up to play still a while left in the transfer market and at a guess one or two more will be added, along with the young players already at Ibrox who everybody wanted to be given their chance things are looking good. I get the impression a lot on here are dying for them to fail. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thehost 11,061 Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 I would have thought that we would have had a couple more bodies in by now. Kick off is less than 20 days away. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STEPPS BOY 73,142 Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Happy that we've sorted out the problem positions at centre half and keeper..Still miles short in midfield, wings and strikers though.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
trueblueal 2,117 Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 I'd expect 4 more first teamers and maybe some youngsters. Happy with the standard so far. If we get a striker and a creator ill be much happier Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Number5 2,096 Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 For the ones who aren't overly excited by the current standard of player, what are you actually expecting? Do you know anything about the new signings other than a few clips on Youtube?I am looking forward to this season more than any for a long time, this is the first time in many a year ( about 8yrs) that we have had a total re-shuffle with a footballing style/vision that differs from Walter/Ally. It might not take off instantly but I think in a few months we'll be a totally different side to ones we've seen in many a year. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bears r us 30,561 Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 I will be waiting to see how the team is set up and play before getting too concerned, but would expect some more signings before long. A striker whould be a priority I would hope. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClydebankBearWATP 877 Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Lmao ffs. Our biggest problem last season was conceding stupid avoidable goals. Mark Warburton has went a long way in trying to adress that issue building from the back with basically a whole new back 5 that have played a lot higher level than championship in Scotland and are young enough to improve. We still have plenty of time to bring in attackers and I have absolutely no doubt we will. In fact I can see a decent fee being spent on a striker as goals win games and we have been able to put together a good back 4 on paper for next to nothing.Chill out people give our manager some room to work. It's not all about signing players. A good coach can get more out of these players I'm sure of that Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gooseman 889 Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 We got pumped 6 1 and I don't think the squad is any better yet u fudPerhaps this comment explains why you are a fan and not the manager of club. give him time to get players in and at the very least play a couple of competitive games before making snap judgments.

Ryan_1 1,136 Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 People seem to forget that the Hibs game is the 25th of July, there's still over a month of the transfer window being open.Ideally having people in before the Hibs game would be a better situation but if not, then it's not the end of the world.

BlueSuedeSambas 53,548 Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 By now I would have liked a couple more players to have been brought in, but I'm happy with the standard of players we've brought in so far.I'm confident that Warburton is working hard on deals behind the scenes and we will see a couple more join before the Hibs game.
