kanjo 26,328 Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Say what you like about Kris but he's a Rangers man and a very talented goalscorer. It's a luxury to have someone like that who still loves us enough to want to come back.Hopefully anyway. Hoosier Ranger 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

scarkev 3,540 Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Do we need to strengthen anywhere though a lot of people comment about having enough youngsters who can make the grade See that's the thing many either get confused by or use to detract from the idea of using youngsters.....young players should supplement the squad as back up and those who progress should be given a chance but you still need a strong 16/18 and my point is do we really need 6 strikers when we lack options out wide and creativity in the middle of the park?

kanjo 26,328 Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Mmm not so sure your argument holds up when you look at the circumstances of how and why he left in the first place!He left in the same manner as Kenny Miller did. He wasn't getting a new contract and the club needed the money. We nee to read between the lines here and look at what was happening then, what we didn't know then and what we know now.The absolute ONLY thing i hold against KB his his comment on Strachan being the best manager he'd known. Whether that was taken out of context i'll never know. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cos88 283 Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Not sure what people are going on about saying this makes us top heavy with strikers, with Boyd I only make it 5 recognized strikers, Boyd, Miller, Daly, Clark and Gallagher, I suppose you could make that 6 with Shiels, I can see there being more rotation within the squad, we also have better cover should there be injuries/suspensions.As for next season, I don't expect the club to take up the option for another year with Daly and remember Miller is only on a year long contract with the possibility of an extension depending on fitness etc.As to the financing of the deal, McCoist was given a budget which he has to work within so the money side of it is already covered. Yes but how often do we play 2 strikers? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
G.E.C. 18,760 Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 I'd fancy us to win at least a cup with Boyd and Miller. Just need the bottle. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ibroxholm 2,276 Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 The sad thing is that we had a chance to build a young squad, but that has now gone. We are dads army with players with no sell on fee, and will come back to bite us as we try to move forward.Much as I would like to see this myself, I think the days of clubs like ourselves building a young squad have long gone. As soon as any youngster shows some promise nowadays, his agent will be touting him off to clubs in England. Even more so, if we can only offer them 2nd or 1st division football at the time. Ness, McCabe, Wilson, etc all prove this point.Also, from what I've seen we have maybe have four good prospects at most who would warrant a reasonable run in the first team. Hardly, the Busby babes waiting in the wings. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wearethepeople72 1,845 Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 How d'you know that?I'm pretty sure with Boyd, Miller, Clark and Daly that he won't get a game. Therefore, it would make sense to put him out on loan. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
