Danny 9 Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 Right now we're mostly feeling pretty low about our chances. With the exception of that nugget of joy Oleg, we are for the majority quite negative about what will happen next year. The thing is, I was also feeling totally the same about my second team, Milan, who recently signed Ronaldinho. From the pits of despair I am now entirely optimistic about next season and their chances in the league. One signing has completely changed my outlook. From being underwhelmed about Zambrotta and Flamini, I now see Ronaldinho and the other two are suddenly great additions. All Rangers need to do (not guaranteeing the league of course) is make ONE really exciting signing and suddenly guys like Lafferty and Velicka look like decent players and worthy additions rather than the average and uninspiring fodder they look like right now. The fans need a major pep up - DMB, Smith and Lafferty all injured, Webster fit (just kidding), Boyd being threatened with an offload to Cardiff. It's pretty depressing all round. So if we can bring in a, as DB puts it, 'blue chip' signing. A real exciting one like maybe in the Dado Prso ball park, then you'll see a lot better feeling among the fans. It won't solve everything, but we do need a pick me up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
papaguy51 912 Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 Oleg truly is the nugget of joy. I look up to him when I feel down One creative midfielder - I agree Danny. Is it really too much to ask?! Depending on the draw, I doubt whether this team is good enough to make the Champions League. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rfc_no1fan 13 Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 A Dado Prso would make me cry. A player at the end of his career, injury prone and looking for a final pay day. Dont give WS ideas. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it really too much to ask?! I hope not PG, I hope not. Depending on the draw, I doubt whether this team is good enough to make the Champions League. It struggled to beat a 4th division German side. That's chronic beyond words. We need a stark injection of excitement just to give us something to look forward to. Sign us a sexy name for God's sake - otherwise there is literally nothing for us to be cheery about. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedWhiteBlue1872 407 Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 Yes were low with some of the recent surroundings. I believe we will bring in a couple more players, one which will please us. Dont look into pre season matches, considering nearly every key player in the team has been missing. But C'mon Walter give us something to be fookin encouraged by, we need to pump these mhanks next year! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScotBear 144 Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 I agree that one good signing could certainly lift the mood. Although it may only temporarily paper over a few cracks. We were told to expect quality, and I took that to mean 2 or 3 quality players. We haven't signed one yet in my view. P.S I reckon Ronaldinho is going to be a huge let down for Milan fans Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allanger 625 Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 I was very critical of Walters formation last term, made to eat my words on more than one occasion though, but what I did notice was that 4-5-1 can be an effective system if you have pace from the midfield to support the lone striker and speed on the wings to get in behind. For me a quality midfielder would make a difference going forward but we really need another couple of quality signings to make an overall improvement and to get us all more upbeat.

nvager 498 Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 We need three quality signings but most of all a top drawer attacking midfielder. At the moment I can see Whittaker, CA and LM as our midfield and that is enough to make one puke! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrandSuckMaster 1,775 Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 I'm very positive and I am sure we will make at least 2 more signings. We already have a better squad than them in my opinion and they are not looking too active at the moment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueSuedeSambas 53,781 Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 What is a "big signing" though? Plenty of people on here say that they watch very little football outwith the UK, so are they really going to be aware of players who are maybe good players, but they don't play for massive clubs? Is it going to be a case of us blowing a massive sum of money on a player who is well known, for our fans to say do you know what he's a good signing.

It would obviously give us all a boost if we did manage to sign some sort of quality. Still wouldn't change anything with me until we have sorted out a CH, RB and AMF...
