If he keeps up the performances like he had yesterday, it won't be long before teams down south and abroad start sniffing. Young Scottish players with potential are becoming sought after due to the successes of Lewis Ferguson, Hickey etc and the relatively low outlay compared to England. There's some obvious young talent in the league at the minute, I really like Cameron at Dundee as well, Watson at Killie looks promising too. I don't know why we aren't going all out to get these players in the door. Agree. If he has a good season we won’t be able to afford him unfortunately. We’ve missed the boat on multiple good young Scottish players in recent years. PromDeAnglais 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Diomande has been poor for the most part but you can't compare the two signings. You can when it's suggested that any player that age will be inconsistent. And had we signed Barron from Aberdeen when he was under contract I doubt we'd have been paying anything close to 4 million pounds. And my initial point is that for the money we've spent on Diomande, we've had nowhere near enough in return. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this is the hard pill to swallow for a lot of our fans, 4M is buttons in football in 2024 and you get what you pay for. when you think for instance we paid 5.5M in 1998 for Kanchelskis maybe not in his prime but that sort of money got you a real quality player. we are a bang average europa league standard team, mainly because too many at the top have excepted that as the standard, most Rangers fans over the age of 30 anyway were so used to seeing top quality, so it’s tough to watch players who can’t pass a ball 5 yards without it being a hospital pass. we royally fucked up moving up another level after EL final. we’ve went backwards and it’s like 1 step forward 8 steps back NixonRFC 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie0202 13,140 Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago 2 hours ago, Vision said: I'm happy with the win. hibs has always gave us a difficult game. Here's the problem, we always seem to prioritise Europe. To me the league is the most important, we should always be playing our strongest team. As they say leagues our bread and butter. 100% mate but we can't play our strongest team every game because fatigue will make our strongest team on paper far less strong. Agree about prioritising the league but it's a difficult one because we wouldn't accept sub-par performances in Europe either. Today's weakened team after Europe picking up all three points is actually best case scenario. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blueshoff 12,857 Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago 6 hours ago, DrLaudrup said: Agree. Hagi isn’t the second coming but I think an explanation is needed as to why he’s being marginalised. He’s fit and doing well in the B team. When you’re bringing Dowell off the bench I just feel we can do better and set up to be more positive in the final third. You have got to ask what is worse - paying Hagi 20k a week for nothing or paying an extra 10k for something. Maybe do us a turn and /or put him in the shop window. The transfer value will probably drop more than the extra salary, especially if we sell in January.

Should never be though and I don't know what they need to do to the rules to make it less subjective. Has Souttar to chop his arm off? It was point blank range. In the replay it looks like Souttar moves his arm towards the ball but I refuse to believe his reaction time is better than an F1 driver in order to move his arm in such a short space of time. A VAR pen. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paying and playing Hagi would cost about an extra 100k til the January window. Instead of that we'll pay him 20k perweek to play for the B team. And that's before taking into consideration the fact he said he'd be open to renegotiating towards what we wanted. Blueshoff 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
