caseyjones 3,009 Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 Can we please have an end to all of this 'there's still 2 months left, stop panicking' pish?Like everything else in European football it is in place for the larger nations whose top teams don't need to play qualifiers and start their leagues 4 or 5 weeks later than ours. We have a pre-season starting today due to when our season commences and, so far, our dealings in the transfer market have been naive at best. We have a skeleton squad, and while I most certainly don't want us paying over the odds for pish, some basic homework should have been done before making any public comments on targets.Get it done, Rangers, and pronto.

BeautifulSeas 10 Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 26 days until the season starts, which isn't long. I'm not panicking yet though. Maybe tomorrow. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

caseyjones 3,009 Posted June 27, 2011 Author Share Posted June 27, 2011 Casey if there was 2 days and not 2 months left i would be panickingI'm not in a panic. Just pissed off at the amateurish way in which we are going about our business. We have 9 competitive matches before the window shuts, including CL qualifiers, so comparing us to the English, Spanish or Italians is senseless as they will have 3 at most.As I said in the op, September 1st is a virtual irrelevance to ourselves. Our season started today and to maximise our chances of it being a successful one, the bulk of our squad should have been in place. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davie2909 21 Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 If you look at all the other SPL clubs most have a few signings made already. We only have 26 days till the season starts and they will need time to get to grips with the rest of the team etc. Its really not a good situation IMO Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a core team of champions who the title last year.The team doesn't have to gel and settle in,a few players need to get used to their new surroundings and teamates.Whyte said 6,they won't all be straight into the first team IMO.

Amac9 2,060 Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 I hate our dealings in the transfer window. We never seem to do things easy.We need at least 6 players and so far we are nowhere near getting players in. Add into that the pre season tour of Germany and there is 7-10 days were we are unlikely to sign anyone.As each day passes with us missing out on targets then the more you have to wonder what is going on.

Jocky Broon 207 Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 The bulk of our new signings then if you want to nit-pick.Its not nit picking.Its responding to your panic.And how do you know it is the bulk of our new signings.All McCoist has said is that we have a list of Players we would like of which some are more a priority than others.Hemed,Danns etc may well have been close to the bottom of these priorities and became newsworthy because they were on a free.Where we have to pay a transfer fee we are still in the hunt.I think everyone knows we need to build up the squad but we are nowhere near the panic stage.Our first priority is to tie up the Players we have and bring in some quality to the squad.If we sign Cuellar and Goodwillie in the next 2 weeks I bet you change your tune.

Last season was not a great standard to aspire to and McCoist obviouxly thinks the same or he wouldn't be attempting to recruit players for the key positions we struggled with. didn't we have the best defence and the best strikeforce last season ? not so sure about the defence but positive about the strikeforce , he was looking to add depth to positions but that by no means alludes that Ally thinks this , maybe just maybe signing a Bosman to add the depth in the middle and Wallace with only 12 months of his contract left , put out a feeler , let Lee know we are interested and 6 months later we sign him for fuck all , rather than just watch and hope that he doesnt accept a new deal at Hearts ... Cuellar is different as Boogie has stated time and again that he would leave if an offer arrived , guess what none yet and he has come out saying looks like he is staying ... but still this move would replace boogie so again i fail to see key positions and Ally panicking like the fans are Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
