Poetry_In_Blue 1,043 Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 who is Efreem?(i've been on holiday and missed the news)He's a youngster, and don't think he'll be chapping on the door of the first team yet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frankie 505 Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 I think we have made a lot of signings with probably another 2 or 3 to come.Sure, that may suggest we have too big a squad (compared to last season's threadbare version) but I'd like to think it's because we're building a team for the future whilst making sure we're fully covered in case the younger guys struggle initially.The point has already been made in previous threads regarding the relatively young average age of the squad and the costs incurred of having more players may be offset against the potential we have of these guys.At the same time, we still have a few experienced players to nurture the younger guys and if we can make another 2 first choice signings then it's up to the fringe guys to perform well enough to get into the team. Competition is always healthy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLUE CYCLOPS 26 Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 I always welcome lots of signings but when some of them are donkeys like McCulloch, Gow, Carroll and Broadfoot etc it means hee haw Saw him in his games against us and a few against other teams and he just looks like any other run o the mill player and thats what youz saw also.....Not RFC standard just Falkirk standard and nothing else---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------If I remember correctly, wasn,t Davy Cooper only a Clydebank donkey at one stage.Wasn,t Jim Baxter only a Raith Rovers donkey as well.FFS give the guys a chance,everybody has to start somewhere,if they don,t make it,so what.On the other hand we might just be talking about the next Baxter,Cooper,Law etc,.If your attitude was typical we would only sign one player every 10 yrs. when we had enough money saved for Ronaldo, Pele, Best etc,.

Steely 58 Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 I think it is important to have a big squad.The problem over the past couple of years has been when a player is injured he's been covered with complete crap.Now it looks brighter. When one of our players is injured it is looking likely that he'll be replaced with cover of equal quality.The future looks bright lads Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saudibear 0 Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 8 in. Klos, Prso and Rae gone another keeper out on loan. Sionko will probably go with perhaps Buffel and Papac all of a sudden our squad is not much bigger than last year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've yet to see you show any worth whatsoever to this forum.But explain further who wont be of equal quality. Of course you can't, because you don't know.Why not stop stop posting silly things and actually take part in the debate. Silly, silly boy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sionko will probably go with perhaps Buffel and Papac all of a sudden our squad is not much bigger than last year.but we're still looking to buy more. And with Klos, Prso, svensson gone. Probably Sionko. Not heard anything other than Buffel being in WS plans nor have I heard anything on Papac leacing.That's four gone. Eight brought in so far and by look of it still looking for another twoI think that is a big squad Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poetry_In_Blue 1,043 Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 People also seem to be forgetting the youngsters like Furman, Lennon and Shinnie who are currently chapping on the first team door.Give them some experience in the League cup and you never know how they'll progress.

rfc_no1fan 13 Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 Just throwing this one out there...Chelsea have discovered last season the problems of having too many players. They ended up with guys not performing, such as Shevchenko and Ballack, and a real lack of obvious spirit on the pitch. Guys like Ferreira, a WC right back, were dropped in favour of Bhoularouz, likewise the excellent Bridge dropped for the mediocre Cole.Is there a danger of bringing in too big a squad and having an awful lot of unhappy players? We've brought in 7 players, and we want more. We're going to have a lot of unhappy forwards; Novo, Sebo, Boyd, Buffel, Gow, JCD and McC can't all have a game at the same time.Is this the way forward? Or is the balance about right?Too many average signings, Added to what was already an average bunch of footballers.Still, the only real quality player Rangers have is Barry Ferguson. I just hope Cueller, Beasley and JCD do not fail to deliver, Or we are in big trouble. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gid 46 Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 If anyone should be worrying about this it's Celtic and not us. IMO our squad has been weak sizewise for years and only now are we getting near the size of squad we should have.How are Celtic going to keep all their strikers happy for example???
