Orange and Blue 1,173 Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 Rangers MUST SIGN CUMMINGS THIS SUMMER Rangers’ business in the January transfer market has been a mixed bag, with some standout successes and other disappointing flops. It is probably fair to say that the acquisition of Jason Cummings can be rated somewhere between the two, with the striker impressing in some ways but flopping in others. The Light Blues have a big decision to make on Cummings this summer, with his short-term loan from Nottingham Forest set to come to an end. According to the Daily Record, Rangers have the opportunity to make Cummings’ loan deal permanent this summer, with Forest looking for £1million for the 22-year-old. And, if this figure is true, then Mark Allen and the Rangers hierarchy must take up the option to secure the striker permanently this summer. Cummings has shown during his short time at Rangers that he has what it takes to lead the line for the club in the future, and he must be given that chance next season. As stated in the same report, Rangers are set to cash in on fellow striker Alfredo Morelos should another big-money bid come in for the Colombian. As long as Morelos keeps up his goalscoring streak between now and the end of the season, the likelihood of that bid arriving remains high. Cummings’ failure to make a massive impact at Ibrox so far has simply been down to the presence of Morelos, who has been in scintillating form all season. The Colombian is quite clearly Graeme Murty’s number one choice up front, and there is not much that Cummings will have been able to do about that. However, with Morelos likely to be gone this summer, Rangers must take a £1million shot and give the Cummings chance to step into his boots. The Scotland international is still just 22 years old, and his record of five goals in 12 appearances for the Gers so far shows that he can be the man to spearhead their title charge next season. £1million is a small price to pay, especially if the club are flush with money from selling Morelos, and a swoop for Cummings is a no-brainer. Would you like our team to sign Cummings? I would like to see him at playing for the teddy bears Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Courtyard Bear 41,357 Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 He’s not shown enough, (not all his fault) to warrant 1mill (if that really is the right figure). If we are going to buy him we need to change the entire way we set up to suit him, hopefully a new manager can see this.

Prso's headband 35,459 Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 If we’re going to have a manager that plays 2 up top then I don’t see the problem. It certainly won’t be for £1 million anyway Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueKnight87 17,286 Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 Cummings has potential but it would take a change of system to get the best out of him. If a new manager plans to play with 2 up front he's worth a punt. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeoGeo7 10,518 Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 Only going to comment on the prospect of signing him not the content of that article from that shit rhag. I said he’d score goals for us but it’s clear he won’t as a lone striker or out wide. If we are getting a manager in that’s going to play 2 up top (at least some of the time or even knows of a formation with 2 up top) then fine. If we are going for FdB he’ll play 4-3-3 and again I think Cummings won’t be a good fit for our setup. From the training pictures and pre-match footage etc. He seems to have fit in well with the squad and I believe he is an excellent finisher if he actually gets chances in the box.

Would rather him over cummings Moult and Cummings as a front 2 or Morelos as the lone striker. Two very different front lines and gives us plenty of options......options that murty wouldn’t take anyway so not much point in debating it until a new manager is announced.

He is a proven goal scorer and we should be building a system to get the ball into the box more and a lot faster than we do at the moment. This trying to walk the ball into the box is far too easy to defend against. theweebluenose 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

hammer93 15,057 Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 I think it's a no brainer to sign him, he needs a chance to show what he can do mind you but with the amount of players who will exit in the summer I would like some kind if familiarity with the squad.
