TheBloubellsAreBlouie 209 Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 It's obvious we're still short on quality and require an absolute minimum of 2 decent players to come in because quite frankly I'm not convinced what we have is good enough to make it 4IAR - certainly not on the evidence so far.If we don't sign anyone else how would this impact on your opinion of Craig Whyte?

PaulRFC1 115 Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 Quite rightly.We are going to make no profit this season and we will need to minimize that loss as much as possible.And if you're Craig Whyte how can you trust Ally to bring in the right players and win the League when he cant even get by Maribor and Malmo ?Who knows but I wouldnt be against waiting till January to sign players.Our squad is more than good enough right now.

theweebluenose 4,332 Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 No chance of getting any quality injected into the side at the moment, clubs will take us for a ride when it comes to transfer fee's after we embarassed ourselves in the transfer market. A loan deal or some past it journeyman is the best we could hope for in the next few days, can't evensee that happening. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colonel Mustard 380 Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 We can't afford any more signings now.It's up to the management team to get the best out of what we have until next year, and bring in 4IAR.It's disaster management for the rest of the season.

But I'm hoping once I've seen Bedoya and MacKay play they do enough to change my opinion. I still think we need a Centre Half and a Striker.

thebooler 4,509 Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 We need a striker. I doubt we'll spend the money on one now that we're out of Europe. It may well be that we'll run with what we've got until the January window opens.If this is what Craig Whyte has decided in order to keep the club within it's limits financially, then so be it. It's his money that's at stake, so he has the right to make such a decision.We're well enough covered in other areas to cope with the demands of the SPL.

caseyjones 3,009 Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 The time has gone for spending big money. Let McCoist go with this squad and see what he can do. If it's not good enough, so be it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it is.That's not to say there won't be players offered before then right enough.They lodge their squads with the League the day after the window closes, but any clubs who have players surplus to requirements will make others aware before the window closes.It wouldn't make sense to wait until after the window closes, as this would mean good players not playing competitive football for the season.Incidentally, how does this 25 man squad work if a club decides to bring in another player in the January window? Do they have to drop someone out of their initial squad to make space for him? I've never thought about that before. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirWalterSmithLegend 206 Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 Wont change my opinion of the owner who has made an outstanding start to his Rangers ownership. I cant thank him enough for giving Ibrox the facelift it so badly needed, giving Ally so many new players and tying up so many important players on long term deals, 3 things which would never have happened under the old regime. Its just a shame Ally has let him down on more than one occassion already. One would need to be fucking idiot to demand or ask for any more spending given our current situation.13 new signings, 7 new players, 3 key players on 5 year deals and a hot prospect on a 5 year deal also. His commitment cannot be questioned. Its just such a shame due to our coaching teams ineptness that we are going to post a loss in Mr Whytes first year in charge. He doesnt deserve that at all.Thank you again Mr Whyte Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as im concerned Whyte has saved us from the shower of bankers who were hell bent on selling anyone for any amount just to get money back.

nimbus1 1 Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 gotta laugh at thanking mr whyte.... if he had put his hand in his pocket sooner then we would not be in such a state..... our transfer dealings have been nothing short of shambolic, and what has he actually spent?? we got 1m for adam, and reported 1.7m for bougie,...weve spent 400k on boganegra,about the same for beydoya, and mckay.... Ortiz, no conmment!you do the maths, seems we have blown the money we had on securing deals for Davis, whiti and sha**er..... ok these needed to be done bar whiti, who single handedly cost us 10mil...wish he had went to Turky!!!!!only saving grace is that they are also struggling..... it will be a case of whos the best of a bad lot this year!!!!AGAIN.....until we get itno the EPL then this will always be the case i'm afraid.......but as long we we win 4IAR _ Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
