Let’s see who he brings in before lavishing him with praise. His record on incomings is sketchy at best.
Off the wage bill, I suppose.
It’s not being scum it’s being realistic. He’s a footballer being paid to play football, if he cannot do that then he is unable to fulfil his contract.
Well a replacement is required.
Players obviously need to go out too I should add, as the squad is bloated.Just the five more signings then...
Reported earlier,
This thread and others are full of people saying we need to be signing £4 or £5m players and thinking the players we’ve signed are backups. That we still need a quality centre back, goal keeper, striker, attacking midfielder and left back! When everything our club, manager and board says and does shows otherwise yet still they expect it!
Don't agree with this at all tbh but will wait to see where we are come late August before throwing the toys out
he may stay put and go for free when his contract expires, hope we're sniffing about when it does
Colak should be third choice. If we’re replacing Roofe it’s as a 2nd choice behind Morelos (and hopefully pushing Morelos).
Sound him out for a pre contract in January don't see us bringing in another winger this window
my tip for the next player to rise under Gio, he's to Goldson. Watch him go
Maybe I'm in the minority.
That's not how you put it to a player obviously and it isn't how RW will put it to them either.
Wtf??
Who will my profile picture be now
He misses far too many games, which is a shame cos he’s a brilliant player. With him,helander, souttar and jack all having alot of injury problems we need to look and try and move on from them type of players
It’s exactly the same mate.
In terms of actual quality I think Roofe to Colak is a downgrade (not based on anything he has done for us far too early to make an judgement) but Colak’s availability is so much better which is very important and negates the quality differences the two have, as Colak is still a decent player
If roofe stayed fit then he'd break the league 1 goalscoring record playing for derby. The staying fit part is the sad bit
Decent but not for Rangers , its Rangers transfer thread and he is so far off what we need.
think Gio would have noticed his showing yesterday, hope we get him for the next season
I would call if a refresh and not a rebuild. When I called out those expecting a “rebuild”, McGregor, Goldson, Bassey, Balogun, Barisic, Helander, Katic, Davis, Arfield, Aribo, Kamara, Alfie, Jack, Kent and Roofe were all going in their view! So far only 3 of that list have gone, 4 have had new contracts and maybe 2 more will go. Our starting 11 yesterday only had one new player. That’s not a rebuild
He's so much better than league 1. It's his availability/reliability that's screwed his career. A better finisher with his kind of movement you'd struggle to find at that level.
Think they’re going to go straight for promotion this year so maybe a loan to buy and if they get promoted he’s in the championship. Was said a while ago Gio didn’t see him in his plans this season but you’d imagine we would want another striker in rather than just Morelos, Colak and Sakala. (Unless Tillman will be used as a striker but I thought he was more AM)
There are still some who would sell Alfie, Tav, Kent and Goldson for virtually nothing.
That’s not enough. We definitely need another quality option if Roofe leaves.
He can get medical care anywhere.
How is it strange? He was one of the best players in MLS in the 2021 season. Only just turned 22 and has 7 caps for a strong USA team. He has been solid for us and can play a few positions. He came in halfway through the season. Time will tell wether he kicks on again but if not what have we risked?
