bornabear 6,186 Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 It doesn't worry me at the moment, too early in the window. Teams have been offloading dross, which we don't want. Who knows, we may be selling or hoping to sell some player(s), in which case, depending on that money, we could sign a better class of player(s). Don't panic, stay calm. For now. bobbyrussell and Drunk and disorderly. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
d_nic83 60 Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 If we can get the Colak deal done and get a right sided attacker/winger before the CL qualifiers. Without losing anyone from the squad a think we would have fuck all to worry about barring any injuries. falkirkNS 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craiggybear 6,192 Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 Still not worried at the minute. CL qualifiers start 2nd August as far as im aware... If still nothing after next week I'll be annoyed. If nothing by the 2nd week of July, THEN I'll start shiting it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
the old guard 2,291 Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 With the goals we let in from December it's a commanding goalkeeper and another centre half that can defend cross ball's properly we need, get that done and I'll start worrying about a right sided forward and another striker then.

Vanoli 4,623 Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 One thing i’m holding onto is that i went into the 55 season with zero optimism. We’ll probably still move a couple on i think which hopefully frees up what we need to freshen up. Dont think we should be fearing anyone in the qualifiers either, hit the levels we found last season in Europe and we’ll make the Champions League imo which is massive. Its the quality of our scouting set up that i worry more about tbh. bluenoz and DiamondDan 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluenoz 30,287 Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 Atm, the team is pretty solid. We don't need to recruit anyone at the back. With Helander in full training today, it feels like a new signing. With the emergence of Lowry and McCann, the midfield is strong but we could still use one more. Right wing is still the problem although Gio seems keen on Wright. I can't remember the last RW we had who was good. It wasn't Candaeis. He was average. If we lose one of the big players (Aribo, Kamara, Kent or Morelos) then we need immediate replacements - like for like. I think that is what is delaying things right now. d_nic83 and One Jock Wallace 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brubear 2,880 Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 4 hours ago, Bears r us said: Not sure if this is correct but I think it probably is. Have the tarriers and other Scottish teams not already signing players? When does the transfer window open in Scotland? The summer transfer window officialy opens on Friday, June 10. Deals can be agreed before then, but a player’s registration can only be lodged with the Scottish FA on or after that date. International deals cannot be registered ubtil 1st July.

If you have the deal/s ready then registration from tomorrow should not have been a problem, I am sure I read the tarriers have just agreed a deal for the Argentinian guy and it was announced today. Anyway I am still hopeful we can get the players we need in and out in the next few weeks. bornabear 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven’t strengthened, and handed extensions to guys who’s best days are behind him. We’re back in preseason and don’t have a single new recruit there to take part. It is a worry, even if it’s the cool thing to tell everyone not to worry. It’s an exact repeat so far of us making a cunt of the CL qualifiers last season.

But known us we will likely only manage to sell 1 maybe 2 for a pittance and release the rest. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Drunk and disorderly. 14,208 Posted July 1, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted July 1, 2022 We should have an official flapper thread. Somewhere the panic merchants with no patience can meet and flap away like an echelon of geese. People who think that we aren't trying to extend the contracts of key players and looking to buy and sell/behind the scenes. Would also be a place where fellow flappers who go into match threads and implode when we lose the first goal/don't score within 15 minutes could meet. A place where a player can be wrote off 30 minutes into his Rangers career, a place where a game is lost before we kick a ball. A place everyone is happy to be proven wrong, where booing players is encouraged, where youngsters aren't given time to develop, where negative stats are repeated to death and positive ones dismissed.

Not a positive for me, the realistic money we take in could see us strengthen those 2 positions plus another 2 for very little outlay.

I don't know the names but apparently they have a defensive midfielder coming in and will spend almost all their CL cash to ensure the title. On too of that they are moaning like fuck that the season starts in 4 weeks and they are slow getting players in. Make of that what u like but personally I'm a little bit concerned that we will line up with the same team as last season, lose valuable assets for free and the players we bring in will be nothing more than squad fillers Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
