The whole subject of this is a joke. I have had a number of discussions with the club about this subject and have received a pass for a number of years. Every year around this time they send a new one out, however the last 2 seasons (not including the covid one prior) the pass hasn't arrived so I emailed them. Each time they have apologised for the delay, said there is a backlog and that if it is not issued in time, to use my old pass....no issue. This year, I done the same, to be told that I would need to apply again and then be put on a waiting list like the poster above. If that's the process then fine, I get that, but at what point was anyone going to tell me I had to apply again? It not looks likely that I wont be able to attend the matches until the issue is resolved, either that or gamble on a space at the surrounding business car parks, which is a lottery and if none are available, will have to go home.

You can learn a lot about a player and summaise the managers intentions for them with a little bit of research mate.... Or failing that, you can put your opinion and other people can comment on it, like its a football forum! That might just me that does that though?

In that case, we should start planning on how to spend the $20m now, since a left back who hard barely kicked a first team ball until he played at centre half sold for that... No matter what might have happened before, as I said, the guy has played a handful of games at CB and I wouldnt be relying on him to be 2nd or 3rd choice.

Even if he is injured, by mentioning Souttar and Davies I am assuming you are counting him as potentially playing CB... He played once as a CB last season, twice as a CB the season before, prior to that at youth level he played there 7 times in 3 seasons. I really hope we arent relying on someone who has played there 10 times at the age of 23/24 to be our 3rd of even 4th choice CB!

See I agree! I think that £30k should be our top end, maybe 1-2 only slightly more £35k for the likes of our best 1-2.

He was on £40k a week at Palace, but I was asking you what is massive? Of the figures above, what would be too much do you think?

How much is "massive wages"? £15k? £20k? £25k? £30k?

This has got to be one of the worst takes/opinions I have seen on here in a long, long time! He conceded 1 goal in the 5 games he started after the split...the goal was scored by Hibs from a corner, after a very good save by him, but I dont think theres any blame on him for that goal. On top of that he made a number of very good saves and was decent with the ball at his feet. How you have watched those games and felt he was like "a rabbit in headlights" is beyond me.

We shouldn't ever be to be honest, well over and above our limits. In this example, there is absolutely no way Reiss Nelson should be signed and be one of our top earners. Played around 100 career games at 23, was bang average on both of his loan spells and looks like he's going to be signed by a lower prem team to fill out their squad, the exact sort of market we need to avoid.

This pissed me off so much! Its not the size of the man in the fight that matters, its the fight in the man and once again Borna proved he's just not cut out for it.

Gunn was touted as potentially being a Man City number one and had a very good season in the Championship with Norwich, before they sold him for a lot of money. Hasn't been able to establish himself at any club he's been at since and if he has been axed/dropped at Norwich then it would make me doubt his ability to come here and be our number 1! Not convinced by this and thought we might be looking further afield than a 27yr old who has only played more than 15games in a single season once!

Got a lot of time for McCann but this is way, way wide of the mark! The Hearts fans gave him abuse all game, he scores, celebrates as normal but gives them a little bit back and hes an idiot? Total over-reaction from McCann.

I don't think this is too bad to be honest! There could easily still be 1-2 in before the deadline but I also remember him saying that it needs to be 1st team players, no loans etc. plus we have players coming back, a few more finding some form. Would obviously rather we got people in the door now, but they need to be the right people, not stupid loads, short term shite, signings to actually build our squad.

If anyone at Rangers has half a brain we would have been looking at and shortlisting GKs for a couple of seasons now. McGregor and McLaughlin's age, combined with McRorie's lack of experience, must surely put it at a priority position for us. Unfortunately, the exact same could be said about 3-4 positions on the pitch! I don't care what anyone says, when McGregor came on as a late sub against Hearts, that was meant to be his farewell then at some point there's been a u-turn either by the player or the club but I can only think that him coming back was a stop gap until the next window/season until we improved other areas, but we cant get away with it this summer!

I turned it off!

Sakala is fucking rotten!

A lot of you have probably heard of the SE Dons or maybe seen their GK on Soccer AM but if not they are a Sunday League team that do an episode on YT for each of their games, I love watching them! Anyway, I noticed today that there was a video of Big G and JD training, ended up watching it and I am not sure when it was filmed but it was uploaded a week or so ago and Defoe is just a hero man, look at how sharp he is and doing this off his own back during pre-season???

Have you seen the goals weve conceded...shockingly bad!

Struggling to get out of 2.undesliga but still top as thing stand, hopefully they can keep hold of it and get back up!

Based on what? You only need to look at our record in the biggest games, games that for the most part Gerrard doesnt select Katic. I struggle to think of any games where has been very good defensively, but that doesnt mean he had a bad game, so I cant really argue that at the moment, but cant seriously think that Katic is as good on the ball as Goldson and Helander?

I mean, you have said that he has shown he can do it in Europe yet when it comes to the games that matter, Gerrard doesnt play him. He played 2 games in the Europa League proper last season, the 1-1 draw against Young Boys where he was poor and then the home game against Braga where again he was poor, so much so that he got dropped for the away game and Edmundson thrown in ahead of him. He also only play 90odd "top flight games" which at 24 isnt great in my opinion and even if Balgoun does leave in the summer, we would look to bring someone else in ahead of him for me.

Katic is getting better week by week on here! He is nowhere Goldson and Helander either defensively or with the ball. I think Balgoun is just as good a defender as the other 2 but not quite as good with the ball and even then he is still better than Katic. He is a very physical defender but is very raw at the same time. As I said earlier, if something had to happen to any of the other 3, we would need to bring someone else in as Katic isnt at the level of those 3.

That sums up my opinion of him quite well to be honest, although I also think he lacks quite a lot with the ball, compared to the other CBs we have!

Nae shit sherlock...shut the forum down boys and girls because thankfully only Gerrard's opinion matters, no point giving an opinion...

I love the big man but is nowhere near our best CB, potentially or otherwise! He often gets caught out positionally and for someone so good in the air attacking set pieces, seems to get caught under the ball a lot in open play, its something thats always concerned me about him. He is still 24 and has a lot of time to improve but if we lose Balgoun, Helander or god forbid Goldson, we would really need to look at bringing someone in to replace them.
