reallyruff 622 Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 It's times like this that make me wish our club stopped holding press conferences. Each time I seem to get angrier and more despondent. We all know what is needed , we aren't blind, so to have MW and now DW feed shite to us is fucking frustrating .

CF2 WINNIE 1,006 Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 With no investment coming in from board level sadly our targets had to be loans which is an absolute fucking disgrace.

Dickie 12,905 Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Thank fuck we got our top 2 targets cause I'd hate to think what charity shop our next targets would have been from. Our aim is 2nd in league and European football but we went all the way to the UEFA final and allegedly made fuck all so what is the big deal. I couldn't even tell you when I last watched a UEFA cup game as they are total non events so if this has now become the holy grail then we are most definitely fucked. The tims haven't suddenly become the world beaters that the press would have everyone believing,all we need is a manager who is streetwise and has an eye for a player. How many of the many signings of Warburton have been a success? And the last dozen or so have been a disaster despite us having the messiah mcparland. Maybe he is looking in the wrong market and should try places like Gibraltar where I'm sure you could probably pick up players to give the mhanks a game.

There's just so much wrong with that. Yes they are welcome here, yes I will give them a chance but the issue here isn't those 2 as individuals. Our footballing department is a mess. Make no mistake. The worry is 2 young lads just getting started have suddenly become the difference between 2nd or 3rd, that is an enormous pressure to put on them.

I understand the signing of Toral but the signing of Hyndman is an on one for me because what we are crying out for in that area is a bit of physicality and experience. He's no world beater himself but I would rather have see somebody like Diagouraga come alongside Toral. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The previous regime(s) ripped it to bits. It's being rebuilt. You don't walk into a shop and ask for a new "football department" and ask for an extended warranty. Foundations are now in place with a philosophy from the youth up. At first team level it needs improving and we're learning the occasional sharp lesson in that. Next summer window is far more important than this winter imo. We will finish second, next year needs a step up in investment. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cushynumber 25,178 Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Its a bit deflating that those guys were our top targets. I expected loans to come in, because we have to consolidate second and some quality would give us a better shot at the cup - so some short term loans buys MW some time and there is I suppose the possibility they stay - though in Torals case at least that sounds like a pipe dream But equally, I was hoping they would be augmented by others: this is not a good team we have - they need an entire revamp - and that has to start now, not in the summer. If another transfer window goes by where we simply ignore our defence then we are setting ourselves up to fail. I'll be beelin if we dont sign a better quality CH in this window - or at least try to.

Only problem with next summers window is that we need to get the players, who we need for our Euro financed business plan, in immediately and they need to hit the ground running.

The lazy baseless paranoid rhetoric people use when the truth hurts. C'mon mate, get real. What have i posted since joining here that would have anyone questioning my allegiance to Rangers Football Club. Ffs. I love this club and i feel very much part of the fabric and family of Rangers. I am hurting, trust me, i am hurting. It's killing me being so honest and brutal in my opinion but it is very much needed. I have no time for head in the sand blind faith nonsense. That just isn't me. 26 minutes ago, Courtyard Bear said: The worry is 2 young lads just getting started have suddenly become the difference between 2nd or 3rd, that is an enormous pressure to put on them. 2nd isn't a worry for me. Over the season we will comfortably get 2nd. My issue here is these 2 weans from down south were our main targets when we all know how poor the first 11 is and how much we are crying out for genuine experience and quality, and goals and we all know how far away this squad is from being where we really need to be and were promised we would be by the chairman and manager. Where is the building and planning for the future? For next seasons title push? the signings to challenge Celtic? The players to make us highly competitive? The next batch of heros who are going to fire us to 55? This team is a shambles and 2 kids on loan isn't going to rectify our glaring deficiencies.

Yes more exposure so you might have more people wanting to buy a Rangers top but the only problem is we make fuck all out of it,and this is another thing Pinocchio King was going to sort out,or maybe he's been too busy digging up the floorboards looking for the £30 transfer kitty to pay for any targets we're not enticing at the moment Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
