He’s not a master sales man or master anything ffs are people forgetting the shite he’s landed us with so far? He drove away McInnes and also if you listen to what Gerrard says the reasons he came here was fans, size of club, tradition etc stuff that Allen has nothing to do with 

He has got to be congradulated for driving that useless fukin loser away

James Tavernier is one of the best attacking full-backs in the league.  The only guy that is possibly better is Tierney.  Suggesting he's one of the worst in the league is complete nonsense in fact can you provide me a comprehensive list of all the full-backs currently in the SPFL that are better?

Emm, try most of them. He is NOT a full back.

Going forward isn't the issue. Defending is. He is not what we need. To win this league we need to be btter than the scum. You did witness his performances ahainst them and to even say that the only guy possibly better than him is Tierney. Not even in the same breath I'm afraid.

Whether you rate McInnes or not Is irrelevant - it’s a scary set up we’ve got with him

Which is why we set up to contain them was baffling. Have an actual go at them with there full backs pinned in and they can’t defend.

 

Sitting in trying to counter was never going to work.

When Izaguirre first joined celtic he was constantly attacking and ran riot in Scotland eventually lifting the POTY in this country.  He couldn't defend worth a fuck but it didn't matter because his team were always on the front foot and never sat back.  Here in Scotland we should look to dominate possession and attacking full-backs who can make things happen in the final third are going to be key.  In an ideal world we would run a 3-5-2 system and not put too much pressure on John or Tavernier from a defensive point of view but rather let them be our width shuttling up and down the park.

Tavernier is the best right sided full-back In the Scottish top tier.  He would walk in to any team in the country, even celtic's ahead of Lustig, he's more than good enough at this level.

Tavernier has had a hand in 15 of our league goals this season.  The quality of his delivery at times is first class.  If the guy could defend as well as he could attack he'd be worth £10m+ and currently play for a team in the EPL.  In fact, he has EPL sides sniffing about him anyway and may end up there in the summer.  Rangers have been subjected to incompetent managers for years and we've lacked solid options at CB or CDM who can cover and protect our full-backs when they go forward.  With a better manager, with better players throughout the team, Tavernier can be one of our biggest playing assets.  Broadfoot, Whittaker, Foster, none of them were better than Tavernier.  You'd need to look back about a decade to when Alan Hutton left to find a better right sided full-back.  

What teams?

This summer is going to be massive for our club since there is as much importance of selling players (or mutually termination of contracts) as there is for the players we bring in.

The gaffer has already spoken about the qualities he is looking for....

When pulling together this image and going through the squad it makes you realise just how much work will need to be done in order to clear out the squad this summer to allow the manager to get in the right people. I have no idea how Allen (and agents) are going to convince teams to take on some the majority of the players.

Some might be easier to sell than others such as Morelos, Windass and Wallace and I think its something we need to look at doing as these three players could generate a fairly sizeable addition to the transfer kitty.

Other like Pena, Herrera, Alves, Halliday, Hodson, MOH, Forrester and Dodoo might be more difficult to move on especially if they are on decent money here they may just opt to run their contract down (or wait for that compensation payout from the club).

Mark Allen had better be a good salesman as well as having an eye for talent if we want to give the manager a clean slate to work with.

SG won’t be getting a clean slate - we will lose 1 or 2 and the loan players will go back and that will create space for the 4-5 that will come in - there’s no way we are looking at a massive clear out and replacements
