You aren’t going to get anyone that’s that great in this window anyway. Kamara, Davis and Defoe last year, but that was a very unusual opportunity, A lot more difficult now though the team is at least 1 level better than it was last year, You just need to look at us taking an EPL winner coming in on loan in the summer and he couldn't get near the team Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albertzz 975 Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 Guaranteed if we took a punt on shankland last season and loaned him to say dundee united and he was scoring the way he has been, does anyone really think the quoted price tag would be anywhere near 3million. doubt he would have an international cap as well. fuck scottish football.

highlander05 53 Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 Yet we wonder why barely any youth are making it in to the team... Instead of having a younger player being the 3rd choice we all want 3 layers of starting depth not an ideal financial model for running a business either having players on high wages sitting as the 3rd choice. We are always going to be playing one up top, whether that be against celtic or St Mirren its just how the rest of the team lines up dictates the formation. Don't get me wrong I realise this is our ideal chance to win the league and break their run of dominance but I just think if we throw the whole bank balance at it we risk a lot if it doesn't work out: - financially - squad harmony/match sharpness (no point having a great 3rd choice striker if he isn't match ready or is moaning his arse off) - youth opportunities Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not good enough off the ball and doesn't have the intelligence of Alfie or defoe He’s really improved off the ball. It’s one of the areas he’s been praised for alongside his goal scoring.

Colin Traive 22,741 Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 19 minutes ago, SeparateEntityMyArse said: One of the problems we have is that despite all the promising youths we have none seem to be nearly ready for the top team squad as a number 9. Even someone training regularly with the 1st team squad and banging them in regularly with the development team would be better than what we have. Dont think theres anyone even close in the current youths squad. This is one of the few areas where I’m critical of the club. We should have a couple of promising youngsters bursting to play anywhere across the front three and I thought Rudden and the like would provide that. No sign of a real prospect coming through.

Rlm 408 Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 What really troubles me is look at Harry kane....out for possibly until may..possibly could miss Euros with Grade 2-3 ,torn hamstring consequently Spurs have completely dropped off because they rely so much on him. It ain't worth thinking about if this was to happening to alfie because defoe just cudnt carry us to the the title, So am wondering if Gerrard is looking in the market for loans...but just isn't making it public who's on his radar.

M0NTANA 494 Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 Shankland is Jason Cummings 2.0, don’t think he improves us and sitting third choice would only hamper is development. I would like to see us get a left back because the thought of Barisic getting injured and being left with Flanagan/Halliday scares me. But if we bring anyone in their attitude has to be right, can’t have someone affecting the morale of the squad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also there's no way they'll sell us Shankland for a non-ridiculous fee and I'm not sure he'll want to come and sit as third/fourth striker! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually feel quite bad for being vocal against the boy as he's one of us and I actually don't mind him but for me people are only seeing his goals. Let's no kid on here Alfredo is miles ahead of him, defoe is also on another level and the debate about him is pretty ridiculous when you consider that unless they two were out injured or we had Elgin at home in the cup he wouldn't start for us.

Them across the road haven't brought anybody in that's going to strengthen their best 11. The problem we have is that we need a stronger bench but it's unlikely you're gonna find that quality for a reasonable price in January. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TMB 14,167 Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 Vuckic is available on a pre-contract. He’s doing well in the Dutch top-tier this season. A guy who is left footed, plays on the right, can score goals. I’m sure everyone on RangersMedia agrees with me on this one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

billscott 2,463 Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 3 hours ago, Ted E Bayer said: Are we making a mistake not bringing in a player or two to add some more creativity and depth middle to front? Our rivals look to be adding another couple of players obviously recognising that they need to strengthen following our domination in the last two games. I would like us to bring in another striker for cover if either Morelos or Defo are injured. Obvious suggestion would be Shankland and someone to open up defences should also be a must. Specifically for those types of games against the likes of St Mirren that park the bus. It would be hard to take letting them pip us to the title knowing we had the opportunity to strengthen while we are ahead but instead we sit back while they improve their squad. shankland would cost around 3 mill for a striker with no record in the premier league also utd will not let him go till end of season for the same reasons we have with alfredo it is not easy to get the type of player you suggest and they cost lots of money Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
