ElBufalo20 7,871 Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Yeah the signings are exciting to an extent but are all loans. Cummings who hasn't even played in the premiership here. Dont want to get away the feel good factor but just looking for a bit of realism. 3 guys signed 2 from the lower leagues in England who haven't kicked a ball and another who hasn't in the EPL. I hope I'm proved wrong but it's performances on the park that count and we had all this optimism in the summer too without seeing anyone perform.

The guy can't get a game for a team 15th in the championship and only scored goals in the second tier here. So yeah a loan is good but too much expected of him already.

DESGER 241 Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Realistically our squad is far better than it was for the last game versus the scum/first half of season. Plus we have potentially another few to come in with some deadwood heading out! Realistic and optomistic LOYAL!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A.T.G 10,773 Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 I don’t think it’s unreasonable to get excited at the direction the club seems to be heading. I think just some are relieved to be going for players who have shown potential and know what Rangers are about. Murphy and Goss I thought played well so it’s a positive start. Cummings, as we all know, can be deadly. He may have scored all his goals in the championship but there is real potential and has done it against Prem opposition teams. Tav and Foderingham were also decent in the championship and they have managed to make the step up so why can’t the Cumdog ? If I’m being honest, I think he will be better than Morelos, and that is some praise. As ever, time will tell Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at what he did in the championship then was completely out of his depth when we got promoted. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ritchieshearercaldow 22,123 Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 I’ve no problem with loans at this point in the season, if they perform we keep them, if not we get rid and spend in the summer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gman36 3,455 Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Realism is signing someone like cummings on loan and the fans being pleased with it. That's the type of signing we should have been striving towards for years. Aye eventually we'll be looking for better than him, but for now he's a great signing for us. A lack of realism was how we ended up in the situation where we gambled millions of pounds on a ridiculous experiment in Caixinha. A gamble that by any measure was highly unlikely to pay off, and indeed ended nearly immediately in disaster. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
