It has to be players better than what we have that can impact right away. Quality over quantity. It's out midfield that needs cleared out for me first. We have to many average players who do ths same job. We need creativity and flair in their. Players that we can use to get joy through the middle when our wingers aren't playing well. Top of that list a playmaker with goal threat and defence cutting passing. From the manager after todays game hopefully the penny has dropped with the gaffer going by this it may of The Ibrox boss made six changes to the side that lost to Aberdeen in midweek knowing a win would take his side level with celtic at the summit. But they fell behind to a Kenny Miller goal and, although Andy Halliday levelled after Nathan Ralph was sent off, Rangers could not find a winner. "It won't happen again," said Gerrard. "It is a reality check today that we are not good enough to make six changes. When you are given a chance, go and perform, give me a problem and a headache. "It should make my job a lot easier because there will be less knocks at the door because, if players are honest with themselves and watch that performance back, I don't think they have a leg to stand on."

So who is he talking about? Worrel, Halliday, Rossiter, Laverty, Kent & Grezda were the six changes I think. All of them or some of them?

STEPPS BOY 74,032 Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 Mcgregor, Tav (sell if proper bid), Goldson, Katic, Barasic, Arfield, Grezda, Jack, Morelos (think he’ll be sold in summer) The rest can go. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So we are 4/5 first team starters away from having a championship winning squad No project signings or youngsters.

Blue Avenger 22,567 Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 Bringing in 3/4 players of the desired and much needed quality will have a positive effect on the more average, as the whole dynamic of the game changes, as the game will become more fluent with less stray passes, better positioning, better through balls etc. I expect quite a few of the current squad to be still here and win that title with them.

Courtyard Bear 41,357 Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 Everyone that we have signed, with the exception maybe of Mo who will go if the right money comes in. If anyone thinks we are ripping this squad apart in the space of 12 months for a whole new squad they are onto plumbs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZZed 4,510 Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 If the price is right anyone of them could be sold. I think Morelos will go next Summer but I would like us to shed a lot of the loanees and most of the ones we have loaned out. We need to be rid of people who are taking up money but with no positive benefit to the first team such as Wallace. Buy a attacking midfielder who can pass and attack would be nice, and a goal scoring striker. If we could it would be good to get a proper winger who can cross the ball, run at defenses and open up two banks of 5. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smile 26,610 Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 McGregor, Morelos if not sold Tavenier if not sold, Arfield. Not seen enough of Barasic or Katic or Grezda to form an opinion on them yet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have enough squad players I’d have tav in before whittaker, lafferty surprisingly is a better player than he was when we last won the title so he’d get in ahead of himself, I actually hope we don’t sign Davis, too old an not a patch on the Steven Davis we used to have in his hey day. we need experienced players with some life left in them who have a winning mentality that’s what’s required, they are pricey tho and we aren’t the only club looking for that type of player Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have seen him play on 6 occasions live and on tv a handful of times. He would walk into our team in the 10 role and would be a star in our league Solanke I am not sure about and I bet most on here are the same no one has saw much of him to make a judgement. Davis is not the player he was due to legs beginning to go in fact he is now operating as a sitting midfielder and we are overloaded with them Jones is an upgrade on our wide men much better than Candais Grezda and Middleton Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both of these players wouldn't make the scum squad. So why should we be taking them and demanding they win titles and cups etc We need 4/5 first team ready players of quality Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
