I've just seen nothing from him that gives me any confidence but he can start by trying to get a performance against a shit hearts who have embarrassed pump us twice at their midden.

wearethepeople1 3,897 Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 This transfer window is huge, if we fuck this one up then its pretty much 10 in the bag for them I think. Still not convinced by Pedro, but it's happening so just need to put some faith in him. Just hope we don't end up with a power of foreign misfits who chuck it when the going gets tough. Hopefully some homegrown type players get signed who know the script playing for us, get a good mix of the 2 and we should be ok Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep up to date with ALL the latest news, transfers and goals from Scottish football plus fixtures, results and live match commentary “We already have some of the players that are out of competition and are already on vacation. “One important thing is all of those players are really keen to come and play for Rangers. “It is not a question of them seeing what happens if maybe they have other options All of them want to come and I know them as well. I appreciate all the efforts and work these players are doing to come here to us. “So it is a question of getting the deals done and then making the announcements.” We need it done early. Going by the wording he uses this sounds like guys from his last club/league. So there IS light at the end of this tunnel? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've been linked with some decent players but also some shite and some unknowns that don't really fill me with optimism. Hopefully we've a few gems lined up. I don't ever want to see the likes of Kiernan, Wilson, Holt, Halliday, Waghorn, O'Halloran and pretty much the rest of them in a Rangers shirt again. Agree about the standards needing to be right.How many times on here though have we banged on about needing someone who knows a wider network of leagues.Someone who can unearth unknown gems from abroad at sensible prices rather than overpriced journeymen from the UK.Hopefully this may be the case here.A mixture of tried and tested players we have heard of with some exciting prospects we haven't.Can but hope but trying to stay optimistic.

Sounds good in principle mate. Maybe I'm being unfair but can't shake the gut feeling of Pedro bringing in all these guys he knows from South America and the Gulf-states and they're all clowns some of them maybe even the worst players we've ever seen. I know I shouldn't but can't shake the idea from my head. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wearethepeople1 3,897 Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 I'd imagine most of the names we will be linked with over the next couple of weeks will be pretty much unknown to most tbh. Just need to have faith in Pedro. I certainly don't think he will under estimate the game in Scotland, I just don't think he will be able to grind out wins etc consistently enough to win the title, with average players from foreign leagues Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not surprised you can't shake the idea.Think the majority of us feel the same after this season.My hope is Pedro has a different mentality to MW and will demand more from his squad.If he can source the right players with similar standards and mentality then that's already more than our current squad possess!

Bears r us 31,038 Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 As few have said this transfer window is huge. I cannot believe the standard of player MW brought in, he did not realise how difficult the task he was taking on obviously and could not have listened to anything DW said (if he said anything). Will Pedro get his signings right ? I have no idea, but we need some really good additions for us to have any chance in the EUROPA qualifiers and to challenge the beasts from the east (and the ). We can only hope he gets his main targets because I think that will be really important. Strap yourselves in because the next few weeks will no doubt be a rough old ride I think.
