The Godfather 72,436 Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Miller is fit and fast Aye 3-4 years ago.When was the last time you seen him? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creampuff 22,628 Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Miller is an improvement on what we currently have. He's a typical Rangers signing in that he'd not as bad as his detractors are claiming and not as good as his fans are harping about.He's better than what we have, but that money could absolutely be better spent.

RockwellGers 14,759 Posted May 7, 2014 Author Share Posted May 7, 2014 Award for the most depressing thread.Can we not for once look forward long term and find a solution instead of always looking back at the glory days.I didn't pluck it out of thin air, it's clearly a very real possibility. Also this thread is nowhere near to most depressing on RM Personally I'll wait and see if he can do the biz for us. If he can and on a reasonable wage then good. I too yearn for fresh talent and youth prospects but if he does sign I'll certainly cheer him on. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gooseman 889 Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 I don’t see why there is such difference of opinion about bringing back Miller and Boyd. As it stands we cannot spend money on better players, the players we could bring in are either untested at this level or are simply not good enough to warrant a starting slot. If the rumours are to believed Daly is set to call it a day, Shields is ready to be punted and Clark is our only real striker. We need to realise that getting two proven goal scores for free, on a small wage (both have made their money and have an affinity with the club) gives us better options up front. Boyd and Miller might be older but they are definitely better quality that what we currently have. Sometimes you have to go backward to go forwards.

AlCapone 7,678 Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Miller and Boyd no brainer in our current situation.Available , free and guarantee of goals energy and experience.And most importantly less chance of the tree getting a game.Free? as in no wages?

BlearyEyedBear 4,148 Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Hopefully we get him and Boyd for some much needed know how.With Hutchinson and Gunning shoring up the defence,we should be well covered to push on and win the Championship.Is this the same Gunning that missed a back-header to allow Aberdeen to score their third goal last night?

LaudrupsPatrickBoots 13,540 Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Is this the same Gunning that missed a back-header to allow Aberdeen to score their third goal last night?Ah so you're after a defender that makes no mistakes ever? Let us know when you've drawn up that short list. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
siddiqi_drinker 14,635 Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Don't want Boyd or Miller but a 35 year old Miller is probably fitter than a 30 y.o pie-eating Boyd.Wish to fuk Rangers would stop trying to go forwards by looking backwards., Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coop 654 Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Are there no good young strikers out there? Complete myopia from McCoist overpaying on someone's pension who then has no resale fee. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STEPPS BOY 74,692 Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 I dont agree with The Miller signing..What i will say, knowing Kenny as i do, The players who underperform every week, swanning about park doing just enough are in for one almighty shock as he's the moaniest guy i've ever seen on a park.He was gobsmacked at some of their effort when he was in training.

WadeWilson 4,670 Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 We need to realise where we are and who we can bring in. I keep thinking back to the chances Shiels and Daly had in the semi final. Miller would have put at least one of them away.And Boyd would have scored all seven. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boyd actually looks like he's improved his overall game since he left us. Miller is considerably worse. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaudrupsPatrickBoots 13,540 Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 And Boyd would have scored all seven.True cos he always takes his chances in big games. Mind that cracking finish against Villarreal that put us into the last 8 of the Champions League? And all those goals in the Old Firm games as well.

Muz333 361 Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 I'd be happy with Nicky Clark up front feeding Boyd, but a no to another stint with Miller who's past it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Educator 1,572 Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 skarkev - "Both are short term solutions to long term issues and we can't continue to operate like this!"So where will the cash for all of these long term solutions come from? Or are you suggesting we should hang about the championship for a couple of seasons where we hopefully get enough quality young players cheap to develop into an SPL winning side. I have no doubt further down the line that there will be a better development system installed at the club, but at the moment we have to concentrate on getting back to he top table a.s.a.p., anything else would be disaster. Long term planning costs both time and money, things we don't have either off. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not naivety to think that because the players have stated that they would love to come back that they have an affinity to the club and that they have also been reported as saying that they wouldn't be difficult to negotiate with over wages.

Misteral 2,932 Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Miller should be offered a PAYP contract with a goals bonus factored in. Boyd, okay, if the price is right. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
