Might not have been as desperate as it is made out to be He could have said he's been talking to him since last summer, with evidence to back it up and it would still be labelled PR bullshit.

Smile 26,624 Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Good Luck to him has been a troubled position for a while now, We will just have to wait and see if he can make a difference. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly question marks over number of games he's played but he's played at a far higher level than any of our existing centre backs and is not old. He's slow, I would doubt his fitness after his injury history, and you need to be fit and big boned in this shitey league with the knuckle draggers and their stupid tackles - I don't think it would take much for him to be injured again. He seems like a quiet lad, not an over-bearing loud mouth who would take command of his defense. He's prone to making stupid mistakes - we already make enough - and he's not in amo's league before anyone wants to bring him into the equation. I think he's only a slightly better signing than Hill, I really do think we are clutching at straws now and all of them are short ones. Will King come oot wae a big smile and his big long straw dangling aboot? NAW - we have Hill and Senderos. I'll always support those on the field, but I'm pissed right off with this transfer window. We got too much of one good thing and didn't go near what we were crying out for. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

THE_Ibrox_Preacher 2,812 Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 I understand why some are underwhelmed/downbeat about this signature but there's no point on shitting on it because If he can head a ball and defend at crosses/set-pieces then he's an improvement on what we have; simple as that.

MW kept insisting that Senderos has an impressive CV. He clearly puts a lot of store in this signing as the long 'come train with us' courtship seems to me to indicate. Well he's signed, the squad is complete for this season (barring any last minute transfers out or any incoming loan players but no indications of activity on either front as far as I can see). Next question is how quickly and effectively can they gel and turn lacklustre (frankly, poor) performances and results into sustained winning runs. More to the point, can MW and DW now get this squad to elevate their performance levels to the point where they can win 55 this season. It's all over to MW now to get the squad sorted out and to get the best possible team on the pitch for each game. Its a big season for MW too - his biggest by a mile. I except that it's a big season for MW but as the weeks have past by I get the feeling his doing this job with one hand behind his back. You could say he's picked Senderos but he's 'picked' him within the clubs budget restraints. I've got a simple evaluation of any player rangers sign. I ask myself are you happy he's in defence when we go to the Stade de Gadd Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moody Blue 9,648 Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 I'd love to sit and say "Welcome to Rangers" but have to say I'm extremely disappointed with the wages being spent on the CH's chosen in this window to resolve our well known issues identified from last season. Without any doubt in my mind, we will be found out in this department for the weak decision making by management here. Simply not good enough but I do hope I'm made to eat those words.

weshallnotbemoved! 714 Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Warburton says repeatedly that he will only add to the squad if the player is better than we have. Hopefully this wasn't just a soundbite. We will know soon enough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kanjo 26,412 Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 All the people not happy or saying uninspired.... this guy has played for Arsenal, AC Milan, Valencia, Fulham and Aston Villa. Solid clubs who were all in their top divisons when he played for them. He is a lot better than people are giving him credit for and I would expect him to to well in what is probably the worst football leauge he will have played for in his career. Joining us is good for both parties. Really execited to see how he get's on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sporting Lisbon is bigger than Valencia IMO I'm not writing Senderos off I'm saying previous clubs doesn't matter - Kris Boyd played for us at the peak in CL and Middlesbrough in the EPL I think - would you take him back too?

He scored goals in a Rangers team full of players who were fast and could find a pass. I'd say the best comparisson here is David Weir. The similarities are frighteningly similar and the pedigree is almost the same, if not better in Senderos' favour given his international and mult-European experience. I think he'll be an improvement. I think we're all in agreement when I say we want him to be.
