Signing announcements within the next week - SR

[Guyzer34]

I really would love it to be Armstrong.

Would shake the game up here.

Cant agree more mate, Armstrong is the type of goalscoring midfielder we need, plus won trophies so knows what it takes

 

[BruceyBalboa]

Unlikely as it may be, signing Armstrong would be a serious statement of intent.

 

[ShaggersGloves]

St Mirren Keeper for starters

 

[CaptainCourageous]

I'm hoping we stay well clear of ex bheggars.

 

[stephen ferris]

@DocStone Any random clues on this?

 

[BluenoseAL]

so from names im seeing banded about, folk are hoping for some of these?

GK - Hladky
LB - Douglas
Mid - Armstrong
FWD - Vydra, Taylor, Toney, Weissman

not sure about Douglas maybe good for cover i guess, same with Hladky, Armstrong unlikely but wouldn't say no, with the forwards i'd have to go with Weissman based on his stats/age and that he's played in EL - however IF Alfie is sold i'd go for Weissman & Vydra

 

[Mview83]

Weissman is linked with the Tims

 

[NDC bear forever]

Weissman is linked with the Tims

Seen that mate. Reckon we’d only get him if we sold Alfie

 

[DJ_RFC_1872]

Hladky
Liverpool Loan
Douglas?
Dallas?
McLean?
Toney?
Tapia?
Kamberi?
Dykes?
Would take Armstrong but doubt it.
It'll be an interesting window and we need to lay down a marker to win trophies next season.
No more quantity players, Quality and better squad players.

 

[Delboy Trotter]

I’d take Armstrong as he’s a goal scoring midfielder that can play and graft. Type of midfielder we’ve been needing for years

 

[DCFC Ger]

Come on down Vydra

Think that's a good shout. He's a quality player and different to anything we've currently got..

 

[Eddie Doc]

Good shout. He's in his prime is he not?

Just needs a pre season under his belt.

 

[cjayn94]

Lyle Taylor & Hldaky are stick ons for me, too much stuff around them.

I like Hladky think he's a really good goalkeeper and a steady one at that.

Am still not convinced on Taylor.

 

[Nerf Herder]

Surely we haven’t got a cat in hells chance of signing Armstrong - for a myriad of reasons.

 

[Lemmy]

John Eustace

Still about 14 days away mate.

 

[LD5]

Lyle Taylor & Hldacky are stick ons for me.

Probably in the minority but I think those two are great signings on frees.

 

[Bathbear]

Oaft. I'd definitely be happy at that.

What position he play?

 

[Bigbluebear]

Ex Newcastle now at Peterborough.

That it?

 

[NDC bear forever]

I really would love it to be Armstrong.

This. If Stuart Armstrong is available then we should absolutely be trying our hardest to sign him. We aren’t in a position to turn our nose up at a player the quality of him.

 

[JDC]

Where has this Stuart Armstrong rumour came from?

 

[Herbie53]

Really hoping Taylor is headed elsewhere, Hladky seems smart and cost efficient but bringing Taylor in seems really short sighted and a waste of the budget imo

 

[CaptainCourageous]

Toney is an interesting one he's quick and has an eye for goal and can mix it up a bit but he's built like Aribo looks a tad lightweight not convinced he could lead the line for us tbh.

Toney is any thing but lightweight. He's strong and aggressive and absolutely batters into people. Good at holding the ball up.

He's got a good bit of pace and intelligent movement.

 

[A1bertz]

‘Within the next week’ suggests it’s a deal that is done or almost done. Most likely St Mirren goalie.

That's like announcing your having beanz on toast for your dinner next week. You'd just keep your mouth shut with that news!

 

[Kingdom Bear]

Toney is any thing but lightweight. He's strong and aggressive and absolutely batters into people. Good at holding the ball up.

He's got a good bit of pace and intelligent movement.

Yeah from what I’ve seen on YouTube he’s superb in the air ... the kind of striker we don’t have to throw on when we can’t break teams down

 

[Main Stand]

Any basis to these Armstrong comments or just a person posters would like us to target ?. I can’t see us forking out the 5-10 mil I imagine Southampton would want.

 

[ChildOfGoth]

Why would an Israeli sign for the filth ?

 

[IbroxForever]

Defo sounds like pre contract signings, looking forward to seeing who it is.

 

[RangersLad1983]

Since the media don't get told about our signings. What if we sign players nobody knows anything about?

 

[Boab4]

Would have to be free agents surely

Why?

 

[CaptainCourageous]

Since the media don't get told about our signings. What if we sign players nobody knows anything about?

Hopefully as some of the names banded about are not exactly the most inspiring.

 

[KGR98]

Why?

that's the way it's worked in the past few seasons other than Hagi as we had to activate or right to buy but the likes of Jack Alves Arfield and McGregor were all announced early on before the window opened in recent seasons and they were all free

 

[Geez it]

Where’s this armstrong nonsense came from.. are people forgetting we just signed our goal scoring CAM

 

[KGR98]

He didn't say Next week looking back at the interview he said in the not to distant future

 

[ElectricRobbo]

Toney is any thing but lightweight. He's strong and aggressive and absolutely batters into people. Good at holding the ball up.

Fucking hell, the new CR7 then. I know nothing about him, but sign him up

 

[Mr_Miscellaneous]

Armstrong plays wide-right.

 

[A1bertz]

i hear willian will be looking for a new club could sort the RF position

Him....

 

[Guyzer34]

He didn't say Next week looking back at the interview he said in the not to distant future

On the email the club sent out he says " we will update on further incoming players within the next week"

 

[Bangersbc]

I hope its quality players over quantity. Players in the calibre of Ianis hagi

I like the sentiment, however we do require a backup left back and keeper at minimal cost to allow for quality acquisitions elsewhere in the first XI! If it was just these 2 and mildly underwhelming signings I'll deffo take it.

Just the fact we are the only club in Scotland looking to bring players in is promising.

 

[giogaddi]

Seen that mate. Reckon we’d only get him if we sold Alfie

They're only getting him if they sell Edouard.

Where did this Armstrong rumour surface?

 

[LoganBear]

If we’re paying that for a player who’s only done it in League One and not someone like Shon Weissman who’s scored goals in the Europa League, is available for the same price and has sell on value I’d be disappointed

You seriously think were paying 7/8 million for a player in todays climate?

From peterborough in the english 3rd tier?

From

 

[RTamID]

Him....

He's definitely a RF - Right Fanny lol

 

[NDC bear forever]

I mean no but loan with an option to buy is a thing

 

[KGR98]

Interesting might just be an oversight but who knows

 

[Main Stand]

Tbf no sense in loaning a star player.

 

[NDC bear forever]

I know mate but didn’t feel as if it’d make sense to include that.

Armstrong rumour has floated about since last summer, was offered to us, Celtic and a few other teams last season. Wilson asked about his availability earlier this year and continues to monitor his situation according to an admin on here

 

[NDC bear forever]

Tbf no sense in loaning a star player.

In normal circumstances absolutely but the markets going to be a lot different this summer. Teams will have to be more flexible

 

[Guyzer34]

Interesting might just be an oversight but who knows

Think it might be a player or players out of contract but u never know mate

 

[davmcc]

Rangers alongside Celtic and a host of English clubs were offered Armstrong on loan at the start of last season as he had struggled during his first year at Southampton and wasn't really in the manager's plans.

No club interested would pay the wages that Southampton wanted them to so he stayed at the club.

Since then he has become a regular for them. So it is very unlikely to happen now because
1. Southampton won't want him to go
2. Rangers aren't now going to pay the level of wage they refused to last season

 

[LoganBear]

I mean no but loan with an option to buy is a thing

Im not sure why peteeborough would loan us there 7/8 million rated prize asset.

 

[Sebo1872]

Armstrong speaks too well to be a bitter rat.

Not saying we will sign him but at the same time he would walk in to our starting 11 imo.
