delranger 39 Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 Not seen much of McGregor this season but still looks better than Wes will ever be. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, I wouldn’t have McGregor anywhere near Ibrox again (a different conversation) but we do need a second good keeper to push Foderingham on. I think Wes is as good as he's going to get unfortunately. I rate , even at 36 , McGregor higher in every aspect . He's better than anyone else at the club . I'm still undecided whether to go for him or not - his manner of departure still rankles and despite everyone saying 36 isn't old for a goalie , you just have to see how many 36 year old goalies there are out there to see that's not necessarily true . I definitely think we need a goalie and , ideally, one a lot younger that has already established himself , but they don't come cheap though , which ultimately , may well see the return of McGregor .

KBOO72 4,382 Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 Replacing Wes, yes. He's had 3 seasons now to convince me he's good enough and hasn't despite making some great saves along the way. Replacing him with Mcgregor, absolutely fucking not. Another horrible Judas rat bastard who isn't quite as bad as Naismith but runs him pretty fucking close. A career ending injury before this season is over would suit me just fine. The eagerness of our fans to look backwards always amazes me, especially when it's to cunts like Mcgregor.

Gaffbear 4,096 Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 We need a keeper who is as good as Gordon at the beggars...McGregor could be that keeper but only on the short term .

Gazza1212 1,212 Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 Foderingham is never a Rangers keeper in a million years and needs replacing urgently as a matter of priority. That is so obvious to me I'm truely surprised it's even up for debate. His shortcomings are right up there as glaring as our other defensive woes. In fact I'd go as far as to say big Wes is indicative of the kind of mediocrity we've been forced to endure. Should we replace him with Alan McGregor .............. Absolutely not! ronniescu 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deanzmeanzheinz 4,312 Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 On 20/03/2018 at 11:54, K.A.I said: IMO no. Wes weakness is the long range shots. His positioning is awful for them. McCgregor was exactly the same and he's not the same goalkeeper as he was. He peaked with us before he left. I'd just play Alnwick until the end of the season and see what's what in the summer. I would have agreed with that last sentence until I seen Alnwick’s distribution on Sunday. Bomb scare also if we we looking to maybe cash in on Wes then dropping him only lowers his value However, in the final analysis a better keeper is required.

WilliamMunny 3,242 Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 Of course he would. But I'd like to look at at a different option Tbh. Foderingham isn't good enough. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gersandy 594 Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 Even at his age, McGregor is twice the keeper Foderingham is. Fods goals against tally is diabolical. He makes a couple of wonder saves now and again that make him look good. WilliamMunny and Deanzmeanzheinz 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do keepers always take that extra touch. If I was manager I would be telling them to always smack it as far as they can 1st time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
the old guard 2,323 Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 He is marginally better than fod, we do need a new number 1, we have limited funds to spend and I think signing him on a free gives us more scope to spend money on two proper centre backs which we desperately need if we are to stand any chance of improving, this must be our top priority imo. gmcf, WilliamMunny and BlueKnight87 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we are going to be working with a fairly limited budget that requires us to be shrewd I think somebody like McGlaughlin from Hearts would be a better signing purely because it would leave money for other areas too. I get where you are coming from with the budget. Carson would have more of an upfront cost than frees however his wages would be much less than McGregors. Even at 30 he would also have a sell on.

Swagger 8,119 Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 Macgregor is a better keeper. Regardless what happens though Foderingham is a back up keeper at best. Never been convinced by him Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaudrupsPatrickBoots 13,510 Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 If people don't want McGregor back then that's understandable but if anyone is claiming he wouldn't be an improvement on Foderingham then they're either lying or just delusional.

GOAT 30,449 Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 Probably but that’s not the point. We might aswell just bend over and take it if we’re signing these cunts back. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GOAT 30,449 Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 McGregor of 2012 miles better and Fod btw, miles and fucking miles. The guy was our best goalkeeper since Klos. You had could always rely on him, penalties, one on ones, long shots. Maybe his weakness was crosses but he always made up for it elsewhere. But as I said in the post above, he is a rat. Fuck him.

eejay the dj 31,964 Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 On 20/03/2018 at 11:53, DBBTB said: These sort of threads usually end with people moaning about living in the past and I know we’ve been over it already with Lafferty, Naismith & Davis but I think it’s a topic that can generate a decent discussion. There are still a lot of people who question Foderingham’s capability to be our number 1 long term and think we need a better keeper if we want to win the league so if we do decide to look for a new keeper should we be looking at McGregor? He’s kept Marshall (who cost Hull 5 million less than two years ago) out of the Hull side this season, he’s still playing international football and he’s out of contract in the Summer and has said he would “potentially” be open to the idea of coming back up the road. On top of that you have the usual about knowing the club, having that winnng mentality and knowing what it takes having been the course before and so on. The one obvious drawback (aside from him being one of the players who refused to TUPE in 2012) is that he’s 36 now but at the same time plenty of keepers seem to be able to play until they are close to 40 now so if everything went well we could get a few years service out of him yet. Is a move for McGrgeor something that you think we should consider this Summer? Imo . Any keeper would be a improvement on Fod . Anyone................ For a start . We might actually stop losing so many big games with him in goals with few additions clearly Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigsasasfloppyhair 13,310 Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 Yes a huge improvement but very short term thinking. Carson at Motherwell would be better and longer term. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
