BILLYSNOVO 5 Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 I am actually pleased at the way Whyte is not being held to ransom for players.Yes! We definately need an injection of decent players to a sparse squad but not in the shape of diouf again.Once the premierships 25 man squads are named which has an 8 homegrown players stipulation then is when moves will be made.There will be an embarrassment on talent sitting in the stands week in week out draining valuable resources fromthese clubs whilst bringing negative vibes to training sessions.I would be happy for us to bring in 4-5 decent quality player on loan for a percentage of thier wage.With the failure to reach the CL group stage prudence is needed to avoid a Kaunas style debt saddle.What do you all think?

CANUCKBEAR10 3 Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 If Bedoya, McKay and Cuellar come in then I think we will be finished. The only thing we might do at the end of the window is add a prem league striker on loan for the year if they become available. I mean why would we add another midfielder or defender when we will have quite a few RBBroadfootWhittyMcMillanCBWeirBartleyGoianCuellar (probs)LBPapacWallaceKerkarMidsDavisNaisyHuttonNessEduMcCullochWyldeMcKayOrtizBedoyaBendiksenFleckI still have not even included Ross Perry or Darren Cole. Strikers-Jela, Laff and Healy, Beattie are shite, Hemmings is young.Therefore, at the end of the window, I think we will focus on a decent striker if we have not bought one. We have a lot of players and although many might not be ready to start, we gotta get them out on loan or else these good young player will just rot.

StayWestFree 107 Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 Whyte said there would be money to spend on new players. We haven't saw much evidence of it. And when we have we have started offering paltry amounts then eventually losing out on said player. "He had initially committed to £5m of funding for new players this summer, with that figure doubled after complaints from the Rangers board" - On Craig Whyte.So far we have spent about £3m aye? Plus we got money for Bougherra. So we might have a net spend of over just £1m so far. Not what everyone was hoping for. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BritishBear 34 Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 Don't care whether it's loans or signings, Whyte and co need to get the finger out because so far their prudence and our managers tactics has cost us a hell of alot of cash.At least a loan signing won't become another Beattie.

We all recognise the importance of being part of the Champions League so players will be arriving, I'm certain of that."It might be all the ones we want won't be in for the start of the league season but they'll be here by the close of the transfer window."Craig Whyte said that on the 17th of July. Has it been increased? Doesn't look like it. Are all the players we want in? Nope and we have lost out on a fair few of them. These statements from Rangers of deals nearly done are doing my tits in as well. Just keep it quiet until they are fully signed. Its like these statements are coming across as "Hey! Look we're trying! Wooo". Its now time to step up and back the words he has said with actions. Not more press statements of "DONE DEAL....nearly".

Ibrox_Nights 429 Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 Definetly agree with prudence, after we have signed someone who will add real quality and enhance our team going forward. I'd prefer to buy than loan, otherwise next year we shall be in the same predicament if they are in the key positions we lack quality in. We were supposed to be having a marque signing and were going to shell out around 3.5 Mil on the big Hungarian. Would we not be better served in putting that money towards a quality wide man who can provide service to Jela and inject pace going forward. Really hope we do get someone like that in as we have little to no width, or decent delivery in the team at present. Super knows this judging by his radio interview after the ICT game.

Jocky Broon 207 Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 It will take a lot more than 1 transfer window to build a mid-long term squad.Loan signings have to be part of the strategy whilst we are getting signed Players in.Long term contracts are also part of that Policy to tie down obvious assets (although Whitts has started badly).Whyte will deliver on his promises.
