Do you honestly believe our transfer policy should be to pay what clubs want no questions asked or should it be based on the knowledge of the manager and his team? No I expect our transfer policy to be to strengthen weaknesses in our team. Currently that would be a holding midfielder with experience, of course we could sign someone in the remaining days of the window and my comment would look pretty silly.

The manager doesn't currently see it as weakness. Quote “We have the likes of Dominic Ball and the likes of Rob Kiernan who have both played there. We have Dean Shiels, we have Jordan Thompson, and we have Gedion Zelalemto give us lot of different combinations. http://rangers.co.uk/news/headlines/well-get-andy-loss/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have replaced Oduwa essentially with King. I agree we need a DM. but it really isn't essential at this point in time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one thing he can actually be quoted for with regards for what he was looking for in the transfer window was experience to help the young lads along. Add to that the fact that he tried to sign the Brentford guy suggests he thinks we need a defensive mid too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe we were interested in the guy and probably did bid with a valuation aided by MW. Again its speculation and if the papers are to be believed then this is the one missed transfer target out of 13 Ive referred to. I honestly believe people are going way OTT with regards to transfers at the moment. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can you loose out on a player when the parent club refuse to sell to suit their bigoted agenda? If we offered £1m for Allan they still wouldn't have taken it.

Yes but none of that is our fault which was the point of the poster, Allan is a scumbag who sold his soul for the money, he was never a Rangers fan. Hope he fucking rots with the rest of them.

That's you drawing your own conclusions. Not being able to afford a player is not the same as not willing to go over our valuation. But, that argument has been done to a tedious death on here. So, I'll leave it here with a welcome to King, Billy and wish him good luck. loyalfollower 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GWR1979 1,964 Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 We should definitely get a picture of him and put it on the wall. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Figo 91 Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 King Billy was rated above Holt - one of the best players we have seen in this "journey" pull on a rangers top. We wanted him on here before so why don't we want him now ? If he does the business we can buy him after the loan. Proven to be good in the prem this season and was great last season. Like has been already said if he wants to come and we want him they will sell. Player has the power Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom English on Radio Scotland said tonight basically that our bids for players were based on what we could afford and not on our true valuations based on ability so at least he has some on here that agree with him.
