I read that more as in we don't need a replacement as we've already got people that can play there...

Definitely, Defoe is a class act but its just lazy from the guys there...

The questions that some of these people ask....jesus suffering! 3-4 questions about him being old, his age, advancing years... Boring as fuck!

Shambles

Never mind half back...half wit is appropriate for you...would probably be for the best if your carer limited the time you spent on here now...

This! I know its harsh and Tom is liked by many, does loads for charity etc and I wouldnt want him to lose his job, but I think he is a terrible commentator. Knows a stat and that but his voice is like a shrill/screech at times...

Not sure how many will be there, but we have 4ST's that have bought tickets but cant make it today and we couldnt give them away to friends and family!

I think there comes a point where people need to play football every week. Learning from other pro's and watching them do stuff in training is all very well and good, but he needs to be making decisions for himself in match situations. Like the red card he got in the cup a season or two ago, hes never going to be able to "learn from that in training" or deal with a striker who is fighting like fuck to get a goal in against him. A loan to another premiership team or championship team in England, maybe the time away from home would help him like it did with Docherty, and then see how he does. There are 100s of examples of players going on loan before coming back to cement a place in the team, maybe not Rangers specific examples, but I think thats more to do with the clubs we send them to!

Shame there isnt a stat for "number of times shat it in 90mins" Theres no doubt he is a talented player but he hasnt shown that he has the fight for it yet!

I think Ryan Jack will be crucial next season and I dont see his position within the squad changing, Gerrard has said time and again that he knows he can trust Jack! Traditionally the deeper CM in a midfield 3 is the more defensive one, but in the last month or two of the season Davis played that role and was almost like a deep lying play maker with his passing and I think that Jack will do that next season. Jack/Davis Kamara Aribo Thats what I would go with!

Again another post full of conjecture portrayed as fact... Aribo will be a higher end salary for us, he will be one of the "quality signings" but to give a comparison to last season, we had to get players in early in order to compete with the early rounds of the Europa League. Guys like McGregor, Arfield, Goldson and Katic were all done by this time last season, but there isnt a need to do that this time. We have a squad that should be able to negotiate the earlier round, probably most of the rounds, but we still have 2 and half months of transfer window left and some of the transfer kitty might depends on if we qualify or not. Any player sales will add to that but we need to chill out and give the club time to deal with this, as with Kent and Liverpool, some clubs arent even back in yet and are still on holiday!

You said hes not bright enough to play in another system... To which I asked how you came to that conclusion...not whose more intelligent, or who is better in what system, or are we better with or without him in the team... If you had said that then I could perhaps have agreed and it wouldnt have been bizzare but to say hes not bright enough to play in another system is just simply unfounded and daft!

This has got to be one of the most bizzare posts I've seen on here... He isnt bright enough to play in a different formation or style of play??? How on earth have you came to that conclusion...

I get it now 😄

I dont understand the 3 from those players part... Arfield and Kent wont/shouldnt be competing for the same positions as the other 4 you have listed...

I don’t understand the hate that Wes gets, he’s a very good GK! McGregor is better but if he had the defense in front of him that Wes had the past few seasons, he would have conceded loads as well. He’s already shown that he can step in if needed, celtic last season, and perform. I wouldn’t want to have someone like Firth or McCrorie in that position. Won’t be on a huge salary either and with McGregor only being here for what, 1-2-3 years max, I would keep Wes as back up/competition!

I agree with most of that but weve signed too many out and out wide players for me to think that we will be so narrow. As you said, Ojo in for Kent but we have Jones, Stewart, Hastie, Candeais, Muprhy who all play in those wide areas and Kent could be added to that as well. Will be interesting to see who plays where.

Reading this thread you would think that half of you had never watched us in the last 2-3 months of the season!! Arfield is not and has never been played as a winger, the manager confirmed this... The guy who made our midfield tick in those last few weeks was Davis...as the deep lying defensive midfielder...

I agree with you to an extent, but last season we were limited to spending £1-2m on players, like most of our signings last season, and having £5m to spend on a player would surely make a better quality of player available to us?

I dont think we can view Kent as "losing him" he was never ours and it will be a massive bonus to get him back but we need to be looking at other players to fill that position...Jordan Jones and Jamie Murphy are two that can do it but even as a big Murphy fan, we have no idea how he will be after such a long lay off or if JJ can cut it. I would be "happy" to sell Morelos if we got a bid of £15m+, in the past 2 seasons we have spent approx £10m on players and I would expect that level of investment again, regardless of player sales, but to have £10m plus what we make on Morelos would give us a massive pot to invest in 3-4-5 players of real quality! To be able to go out and buy 4 players at £5m each is something that we havent been able to do for a number of years! I wouldnt sell Tav unless the bid coming in was £10m+ as he is crucial to the way we play.

He plays as an attacking midfielder, normally on the left hand side, but he is being linked with Man Utd and Watford for crazy money! Looks a real prospect!

Im pretty sure you are the same bunnet that started the thread about Lee Wallace calling him a rat and to get out the club... Definitely missing something upstairs...

No worries chief, glad I could help!

Thanks for that! i was wondering what Follow Follow thought about the subject...

Is that you Mr Bain???
