Depends who you choose to believe. From the Scottish side, probably through leaks, then yes, we did think we’d met the asking price and had a deal in place.
The point is until there is a proper agreement, then there is no deal.
If this squad is as good as most people seem to think then we should qualify.
We still needed in January 21, what we're still looking for now.
Clearly there is no ‘deal’ at present but Rangers obviously thought it was ‘deal done‘ when they leaked it. Direct your ire on this one at the Greeks mate. Acting the twat it would appear.
It's one that maybe could have been structured differently. 2 years with extra year if he reached x amount of appearances. Anyways, we have him for now, most clubs have a Simpson or two in their squads.
Ok so just for argument sake we have met their valuation.
Hindsight 20/20 we should've got a CF in. We also shouldn't have got a EPL academy player that had played less than 10 1st team games in middle of a title race. Ramsey I won't even play hindsight as nearly everyone imo would've taken the gamble with him.
I’m not directing anything at you mate.
And piling on anyone who expresses reservations or a lack of excitement over players we are linked with. You’d think we were the best in the world at recruitment with some of the responses you get.
A big spend doesn’t “cement” anything, seen this said a few times. Who covers the shortfall if we spend out with our means and fall short?
At the end of the season? And is no longer here now...
We are losing millions every year. We are being kept afloat by loans. They aren’t ‘free’ anymore and need to be paid back. We might just about break even this year. And folk want us to spend millions every transfer window. It, literally, doesn’t add up.
Either way I imagine our target lists look different based on either scenario.
The season after we won the league, it was clear some players had thought they achieved all there was to do here at Rangers.
Makes the failure to implement the ‘player trading model’ all the more worrying then.
Our starting 11 needs refreshed, we were all saying it last season
Precisely this
It didn't stop the other lot spending the guts of £30m last year though, did it? We're standing still here.
Can only sell a played if a) you get an acceptable bid and, more importantly, b) they want to go.
So we are risking CL qualification again it seems
Are we though? See post #4191.
Exactly.
Gerrard signed Ryan Kent? A left winger...
Who we had offers for mate? Must’ve missed it.
Does it ever occur to anyone, that when you buy Bosmans, maybe they're content with being Bosmans again? You can't force anyone to sign a contract unless it's in their best interests
We have a squad that were in a EL final 6 weeks ago.
