Strange one this. Isn't Forrester a winger as well?

Although I suppose in the end his name makes it worth while if if it has Declan foaming at,the mouth.

Forrester, King, McKay etc can play numerous positions. That is the type of players MW wants.

[Bearsden bear 2,376]

I imagine the gaffer thinks that Billy boy can play on either wing and wee bazza or the Wagster could play centrally as and when.

Tbh if this is the case then we can forget about signing real quality players from down south or in Europe who are still on a fair contract.

Aye, we'll primarily be about signing young, exciting players with potential. Have you just woken up? That's what MW has been on about since day dot.

What about Charlie Austin? He is a £15m player and went for a third of that. Kagawa, went to Dortmund after failing at Man Utd for only £8m. If we value a player at say £1m, and we get him for that or less then it is a good deal for Rangers.

As MW says its like buying a house.If theres any doubt about the asking price move on and look at something else.Bit like buying a car in a way.Do you just give the seller the asking price or do you try and negociate a better deal for yourself.

I've came to the view that if this young player does well then we will hopefully sign him permanently

[BlueSuedeSambas 53,854]

I think people are a bit premature to be moaning and condemning the board and the lack of investment when the window still has four days to go.

l know Warburton has talked about how he likes getting business done early but circumstances change and he's also talked about how one deal going through somewhere else can have a domino effect on several clubs.

For all anybody knows Warburton had a midfielder lined up and he might have been out of reach a week ago (we've been linked with Corry Evans in the past couple of days for example) and maybe he is available now and Warburton can only afford either O'Halloran or the other guy.

Maybe he's done some wheeling and dealing because signing King on a cheap loan frees up more money in his budget to invest in a position we are weak in. Maybe it doesn't, I don't know but the reality is that neither does anybody else so why not wait and judge how good or bad our business has been after the window shuts rather than moan about it when the window is about to enter its busiest period?

I'm jumping down the line a bit here but how are we supposed to get into the CL without spending money on quality?

[TMB 14,167]

I've just been reading about this on JKB and there's mixed feelings.  Hearts are apparently after another one or two players this window and getting King Billy out frees up a wage.  One guy hinted at them going for Osman Sow.

Theres no option for that as Neilson stated he wants him back.

Well Malmo did it without spending anywhere near the money the scum had so it can be done.

By developing players, Ajax can do it, Porto can do it, why can't we?

And there's the Catch 22, eventually at some point we will have take a punt and hope the the manager and team can get the job done and get us to the group stages.

There are teams in the CL group stages this year who haven't spent multi-millions on their teams. It's not easy but neither is it impossible. We've spent 10's of millions on our teams in the past and not made it into the CL.

 

MW whole philosophy is about taking exciting, young, hungry, talented players and moulding them. Building a team and work ethic. If this isn't what people want/wanted then they either need to learn quickly or demand a change.

Rangers supporters always want instant success that's the reason we have been so successful as well.

We have never been a team that's stood still even when developing a squad.

Welcome to rangers King Billy i think this will be an excellent loan deal for us. Hope he gets a run out on Saturday and the Bears get right behind him and he can live mine and thousands upon thousands of bears dreams.

Where does it end? When do we say no we won't pay what you want because we don't think that figure is value?

Who decides what value a player is? Fans or the manager and head of recruitment?

When you get the likes of Cosgrove stating that Rangers should just pay the asking price, then you know they are at it.

The player has an 18 month contract still so he's not going to say that.

But they got there regardless of how bad that shower of shit are.They also knocked us out ,a Rangers  side costing a great bit more than them as well so it proves it can be done.

That's the dream obviously.

But we aren't going to reap the benefits of the youth academy for years to come yet.

Like Smile has said,eventually we are going to have to spend money,to sustain ourselves in Europe and be playing in that group stage regularly we have to splash out on proper quality.

We can still be successful whilst developing, its not the La Liga we will play in next season, Scottish Football is dire and if we get this footballing ethos correct then we will be even more successful than we could ever imagine.
