RM Monitor And Standards Officer 112,934 Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 GRAEME MURTY insists he hasn’t given up on signing Sean Goss long-term — even though QPR have issued a ‘hands-off’ warning. Midfield ace Goss has been a big hit at Rangers since his loan move from the Championship outfit last month. Goss, 22, starred as Gers dumped Hearts 2-0 last weekend, and he will be a key man against St Johnstone at McDiarmid Park tonight. Boss Murty said: “Sean Goss is one of a number of players we are looking to bring in on a permanent deal. “The evolution of the squad never stops, and we are always assessing people as to where they would fit in to what we do. “Goss has made a really good start, and has shown he understands how we want to play and the demands of playing for Rangers at Ibrox. He looks quite comfortable doing that. “He kind of goes under the radar a bit because at the moment the players getting the headlines are the likes of Jamie Murphy, Alfredo Morelos, Josh Windass and Daniel Candeias. “They are the guys who are maybe the flashier players, but Goss brings stability to the side. He has a lovely range of passing, and he’s always willing to take the ball. think Sean’s added a control to our play that we’ve needed. “I’m really pleased with his contribution so far, although I still think there’s more to come from him. “QPR have said: ‘You’re not having him, keep your hands off’. But football situations like that tend to be quite fluid.” Rest of the article is about Scotland so left it out. Good to see he's being looked it for the summer. It will take pena money possibly even more to make it happen though imo. Yes a very good player and he has a bit of dig about him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobham 1,569 Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 We’d be mad not to try and sign him if we can afford him. I’ve been saying it for years but we haven’t had anyone to help us control games for long periods and we were constantly guilty of trying to force the play and ultimately give the ball away time and again. We now have the ability to dominate games in the midfield even if we aren’t creating chance after chance and it’s mainly down to Goss and his ball retention.

pcbear 10,932 Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 QPR got him for 600k, if Mark Allen had been in a bit earlier that could have been us, i bet he knew about him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your really having a pop at Allen for not signing Goss earlier. Edit. Read it again mate, picked you up wrong apologies. ?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Courtyard Bear 41,357 Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 No brainer for me, the player has a lot to say about it as well. I’m sure playing for Rangers beats qpr any day of the week, and if he shines at us he will get a move to better than qpr down the line. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

the brown brogue 1,961 Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 They're looking at a £40 million fine for breaching the leagues FFP regulations, so might not be in a position to turn down an offer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cp9 753 Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 If we lose him and Morelos for the start of next season we will be in a poorer position than we are now. Equally, I think they’ll be two players who are going to be really difficult to replace. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MurrayWilson 3,726 Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 Would we be willing to lose Morelos if it financed a deal for Goss and the other loan signings plus another couple of decent players? This could be the dilemma come the summer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's his target, one I think he'd push for more than he did last month, and one that would probably make sense for us to accept once we've squeezed as much out of it as possible. Such an offer coming in really wouldn't surprise me. Plenty MA could do with a good budget too I'm sure. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to agree, if we could get players of the calibre of Goss in with the proceeds then we are on a winner. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cb72 105 Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 Absolute no brainier that we should be trying to sign him up this summer. Has really imposed himself and has made himself one of the first names on the team sheet just now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
geneva_ger 9,682 Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 Great news cause the boy's a star turn. Could finance him by getting shot of the deadwood. Keep Morelos too and see an improvement in him next season, even just by shaving his wooden head in to a better shape. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gers 198 Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 QPR are utter tripe just now and they never played him. He's worth the effort to push a permanent transfer through. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TMB 14,167 Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 "QPR have said: ‘You’re not having him, keep your hands off’. But football situations like that tend to be quite fluid." Sounds like they've definitively told us no. I'm sure there's no harm in asking but if they've no intention to sell there's very little we can do about it.

Smell the hotdog 4,129 Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 We've been crying out for a midfielder who can put their foot on the ball and dictate play. Goss gives you that, sign of a good player is one who always looks to be in space and Goss does that too. Only way it happens is if he goes down there and demands the move. I think he's played more games for us in 6 weeks than he did for QPR in a year. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimfanciesthedude 25,637 Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 Even if its a no to a permanent signing, get him on loan again for a year, the more he enjoys being up here the more he'll force a move away from qpr Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
