Improved analytic approach combine with bolstered scouting teams. The failure rates ruin the cost effectiveness. We made £16m off one sale from the academy. magic8ball 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Specky Forum Organiser 66,588 Posted May 16, 2023 Share Posted May 16, 2023 Only other club I can see he's been linked with is Burnley. Would be tough to get him and a bit of a coup but if we are going to push the boat out on someone next season that's probably the level we need to be looking at. 6superbarry6 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tao 5 Posted May 16, 2023 Share Posted May 16, 2023 Just now, The Specky Non Liar - Sometimes said: We made £16m off one sale from the academy. 16M is debatable. The 20-year-old moves to Goodison Park for around £11.5m plus add-ons - which is a record fee received by Rangers. NP In how many years though? What does it cost to run? Funds are always at a premium. Some clubs are ditching their academies in favor of a more mature B team structure...which may be an option. I personally think Rangers would be best served employing better analytics. The club is not a community charity. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had a 'b team like structure' with the international friendlies and clearly didn't think it was working. Have absolutely no clue what the charity bit is all about.

A guy who’s scored that number of goals is probably going to attract interest from a number of clubs and move for a fee that’s a lot higher than we can afford, even if we take his contract situation into account.

OrangeRab 3,069 Posted May 16, 2023 Share Posted May 16, 2023 I think it would be a massive gamble for the club given the fee would likely be 7 million ish. His record is decent but not exceptional. There are 12 players with more goals per minute (with over 10 goals). And he has basically the fewest assists out of any of the top 20 scorers. Looks like he’s very much a player in the mould of a Colak. Theres a bit of a tendency to overrate the league imo. There’s obviously a few guys who are class like Gyokeres who will move to the Prem. But also quite a few average players who can bag 20 goals a season playing as the main striker. We should continue to try and use the cross border loophole to sign out of contract players like Bassey and Aribo. But not convinced spending large chunks of the budget is a good strategy in such a saturated market toolongawake 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends what the top fee we can pay this summer is tbh, if we are going to push the boat out on any position this season then it should be a striker, I can’t see him going for much more than £5m given his contract and Swansea financial situation tbh.
