That's who I think is good enough to be part of a title winning squad. (shambolic that it's the pensioners who have been passable this season). It's a good thing we're fucking minted enough to replace the entire team... To roughly fill your numbers. Boumsong, Weir, Cuellar, Hemdani, Novo, Naismith, Boyd, Prso types. How much did they cost collectively? McCulloch was only £2m, Steve Davis not much more. KT £2m. There are so many examples of quality coming to Rangers, and Celtic for not much money that it is ridiculous people just want to spend tens of millions for the sake of it. Even the beggers with Nakamura, £2.5 was an absolute steal. Griffiths, all they goals, £1m. Dembele, bosman and a poxy £20k a week. I am sure Celtic one year won the title or took us right to the wire with a team which cost slightly more than what we paid for Mo Edu and Kyle Lafferty! Warburton shopped in the wrong markets for the wrong players. He wasn't interested in loaning a Steve Davis, just kids to massage his development ego, he wasn't interested in signing a Boumsong or Cuellar, just guys he knew personally in the game. He wasn't interested in finding another Dado Prso, he wanted an Englishman, someone he could spend money on just to say, i think, we can spend money. Or maybe he just wanted someone else, he knew. His transfer business was appallingly bad and he has wasted the club genuine millions and 2 full years of time too. There is no doubt we need an injection of quality but it doesn't have to cost the earth. The right players are out there if we look hard enough.

The boy does fuck all for weeks and months on end. His good games are so few and far between it's unreal. That may change under a new manager but we'll need to wait and see. Rangers title winning teams have always carried passengers. Both old firm teams have. Who's to say McKay wouldn't improve himself playing under a proper manager with a far better quality of player? He has undoubted ability but what i would maybe question about him, is his attitude. Perhaps a real football manager would know how to use and handle him better. It can't help any player playing under such a useless manager and with such uninterested and mediocre group of team mates. Our teams and set up of the last 6 years hasn't helped any of our players. Extremely tough circumstances, and i don't mean off field issues or level of opponents, i mean our own doings, we make life so hard for ourselves. Even Naismith and Jelavic looked distinctly average playing under a poor manager. Look how far Wallace has regressed since joining Rangers. We really don't help players at all. That has to change.

Sorry mate but your about 10 years behind with they prices. A Davis, Cuellar, Prso, Nakamura would cost 5-10 million in this day and age.

I agree there are bargains out there but some of those guys were bought a decade ago. Prices have shot up. And we would have to get every one bang on. For every Davis there's a Mladenovic. I hope we get some cash in to spend because I can't see us getting a decent manager otherwise. We needed 10m this season to put 4 or 5 players straight in and form the backbone of a team. Instead we have no backbone at all. We are spineless in every sense. Cobham 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingKirk 25,658 Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 My only worry would be this board regardless of manager they need to allow a manager to punt 15/16 players this summer and will they really back that Tenerife Bear 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swagger 8,090 Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Can't help but think we will be sorely disappointed with whoever they take in. Any decent manager can see the state the clubs in and I don't believe there's anything like the funds available to overhaul an entire squad of shite. Reckon we'll see 3 maybe 4 players added in the summer but the bulk of the squad will be the same Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

saintbob1969 1,473 Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Celtic may be way ahead of everyone else on points but don't tell us they are that much of a quality team. They met a few teams in Europe who put them in their place and those teams didn't all have masses of funds. Rangers will need some quality players with a lot of fight in them but a manager with genuine talent and cunning should be able to give them a run for that money.

Who is good enough to start in our first 11 for next season bar McKay? Our best players are hitting near 40. Even 6/7 players is the best part of a new team. You say 5 or 6 quality players....you would be lucky to get that for the £10 million I suggested, have you seen the market? 10 m doesn't go far these days ?
