Steven Davis another year.

[Bluekev 44,132]

I think it’s always good to have someone with his experience and knowledge of the club in the dressing room and on the training ground. I don’t think this is a reflection of how the transfer window will go I just think it’s a sensible decision giving the squad a good balance of experience and youth.

Davis and Arfield taking up two spaces in squad. Good players over time for us, but I feel they should of been moved on.

Can see where this transfer window is going now! 

You know where its going , the two of them should have been punted.

No brainer, ultimate pro.

Embarrassed for you .

Dont be

Personally Im embarrassed for the love in for a player clearly well past his prime.   

As I said if he hasnt taken a significant pay cut this isn't a positive move and again takes up a place in the squad ahead of a youngster or new signing.

Changed the cup semi.

[Brackley Bluenose 4,479]

He’s a class act and can still offer something. Having said that I hope this isn’t a reflection of our window and time is most certainly up for McGregor though, will be worried if he is offered. 

[NorthernLights 2,526]

Wonder why he was barely used when Gio first took over

Think he’s worth another year.

Would only have him come on as a sub in games though. He still offers us something in that role 

That and the guidance and experience he can offer to Lowry in particular is for me a positive.

[Big Al 55 9,275]

Love the guy, but don’t get it at all!

[hammer93 15,057]

Not entirely against it as he has proved he is still good enough when asked, my worry would be if he is getting game time that perhaps McCann should be getting, we seriously need to use McCann and Lowry more this season, I would like to see a good balance of youth and experience 

[Guest]

Anyone who thinks he doesn’t offer anything is honestly an idiot. He could play against literally any team domestically and still run the show in midfield consistently and, in the cup semi, he showed that he can be an impact sub too. 

Folk are clamouring for McCann to take his space but McCann needs an SPFL Premiership level loan next season IMO, a club like Ross County would be good for his development. 

Obviously, this is on the basis that he is staying as a secondary option and is on reduced wages. If Wilson doesn’t sign a 1st XI quality midfielder in this window we’re genuinely fucked again for next season because our good players can’t stay fit.

To me we’ve waited to see if we won Europa and if we got CL entry.

Now that we haven’t Plan B is to offer deals to our old players who were out of contract i.e Davis, Mcgregor, Balogun.

People thinking we will spend significant money in transfer market, without selling first, are living in cloud cuckoo land.

Asked a few times at the time.  Badly missed.

Gio addressed this when Davis first came back into the team. Says it was the first time Davis was fully fit since he took over.

[RossS1873 1,669]

He was interesting St Mirren and Motherwell, he won't be on a fortune fs. A great asset to keep around. He's barely played under Gio so he won't be inhibiting other people's development

Yeh agree with all that mate, what makes thing worse is the timescale involved. I really fancy us to enter CL through the qualifiers but there’s not much time in between knowing if you’ve qualified (24 August) and the end of the window (1 Sept). Works against us massively but fuck all we can do about it now.

Still a full week for Wilson and Scoulding to find us a gem from Belgian league and an EPL loanee.

[BlueKnight87 17,314]

He's showing he can still come in and offer us something. I wouldn't expect him to start every week. 

It is a bit worrying but we're resigning both Arfield and Davis. I thought it would be one or the other. 

We really need to freshen the team up this summer with first team ready players.

Hopefully as it's still early days they will come. But can't help but think it's going to take a sale like Bassey before money gets spent. 

[esquire8 42,955]

Big gamble.

[Mor3los_1 3,672]

Just need McGregor for the trifecta and I might start drinking earlier than usual, going to be a long fucking season at this rate.

[Bears r us 30,816]

If he is on less wages and not a starter every game then it does make sense to have someone with his experience around for another season.

Davis
Arfield
Jack
Lundstram
Kamara
Aribo
Hagi
Sands
Ofoborh
Lowry
McCann

11 midfielders, 8 of them defensive minded.
 

Where exactly do we fit in a new midfielder now?

[esquire8 42,955]

Rangers squad training in 2025.

[Mor3los_1 3,672]

Our midfield is in dire need of freshening up and we keep hold of him and Arfield, honestly.
