East London Loyal 420 Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 I've seen a report saying you're taking Reece Oxford on loan and who better than the Rangers? Doubly interested to see how he stands up to the physical task of Scottish football and the upgrade to competitive games regularly. He comes with a lot of hype, so eagerly awaiting if anything comes of this and whether the hype matches his ability. He plays primarily as a centre half, but he's comfortable as a defensive midfielder and if required a right-back. Needs to add more names to his pocket other than Ozil, although it showed he can play. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he is half decent he should get a game, not a lot of competition for places in the heart of our defense Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
East London Loyal 420 Posted January 25, 2017 Author Share Posted January 25, 2017 He's just signed a new contract with us and he's being touted as the next big thing. If he can put Brown in his pocket where Ozil's been, I'm confident he'll be a bit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

loyalfollower 1,543 Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Guy could be brilliant, but looks just another chance for a player to gain fitness with us and then we lose them Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ger77 742 Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Potentially a fantastic signing, however we urgently need a poacher (dare I say, like McCoist) who will attack the 6 yard line for a tap in at crosses and also pick up the spills.

What chance of continuity do we have if we are building for half a season at a time? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senex 20 Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 If it's just for six months what is the fucking point? Seriously. What is there to get excited about? The best case scenario - one where he comes in, strolls it, holds down a first team place and looks like an absolute superstar - is also the worst case scenario as it leaves a giant, gaping hole to be filled at the end of the season (in time for the Europa qualifiers, remember) once he inevitably fucks off back down south. It has to be for 18 months or no deal. Absolutely has to. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has to be for 18 months or no deal. Absolutely has to. every manager has a long term plan - be it 3 years or what ever - where they want to put things in place that may take time. In our specific case there were a number of things that had to be addressed, such as scouting and youth development and assembling a team that could "compete" in the premiership. However, with that long term plan in mind, it goes without saying that managers could be out the door if they dont get instant results. In MW's case this year, he is looking to consolidate second, and has a chance at the scottish cup - so he also has to have an eye on some extremely short term goals as well - because they are what is keeping him in a job and buying him time If the players being on 6 month loans help us win the cup (for example), thats an excellent result in the short term, and gives MW some breathing space while he plans for next season and the longer term. I really dont see what the issue is - as long as the longer term elements are also being addressed. If we are simply jumping from short term pillar to short term post, that would be a different story altogether. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could come in and be outstanding then like you say he's gone in 4 months and then more than likely sold for a few million. im more bothered that we keep signing players who are either injury prone or coming back from injury.. Rossiter, dodoo windass crooks then we have this lad and hyndman from Bournemouth. Are we becoming a club that just gets other clubs fitness levels up?? Surely a fit MOH or a lad from the u20's is more of an asset than some 50% guy coming back from injury. It's becoming nonsense and not what Rangers should be looking at Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeventyTwo 1 Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Hoping this turns out to be true. If he was played at CB then him and Hill could have potential for a good central defence pairing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perth_Campsie_Ger 18,108 Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Certainly the most excited IV been about a player for a while. He has been touted as a star for a while now. He is a player I have heard hype about for a few years and not one that just gets hyped up by the Scottish press when they hear we are looking at a player. Would be good if we could sign him for longer than just 6 months like the.tims did.with roberts Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cushynumber 25,178 Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 its another one though, with a name where a good rhyming song doesn't spring readily to mind. I dont think MW should be signing this type of player. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here, another young loan just to fuck off in a few months, when is that tight fisted cunt king going to actually start building a team and start spending money.
