We're doing nothing unless we instil a winning mentality and we force the officials into treating us like the rest.
Since when did Murphy improve enough to be a starter? He wasn't great before injury and should be a fringe player at best.

I reckon, realistically, £18M is the max we're going to get for Tav and Alfredo.Quality players cost money. 4-6 signings say £3m each, potentially £18m, where’s that coming from?
RObertson said at the AGM at ORSA we wouldnt be accepting less than what they got for Dembele .I reckon, realistically, £18M is the max we're going to get for Tav and Alfredo.
Ostersunds.
Looking for your next ticket Mr. Bain are we?I reckon, realistically, £18M is the max we're going to get for Tav and Alfredo.
Young players on free transfers or development fees with huge potential should never,ever be taken out of any recruitment policy we have mate.It really is amazing the amount of posters crying about Hastie being signed, he is 19 ffs and one for the future, it doesn't mean Gerrard is going to throw him straight into the 1st team.
As much as some fans will only look at there here and now we still have to plan for the future and that includes signing young players in the hope we can make them better and ready for the 1st team one day.
Ravel Morrison said in an interview recently that he met with Gerrard with a view to signing for us. So unless he is lying we were clearly interested.
We should have taken a punt.
Isn't he a bit of a rocket?
If it's the guy I'm thinking of we dodged a bullet.
Just seen this on Insta from a Rangers fans page, i haven't seen any interviews or quotes from Gerrard saying this.
Yea i thought as much, really annoying thesw pages that make up quotes !Because he didn't say it.
From the OP "We’re a lot closer than people think but the next four, five, six signings are going to be so big for this club "
In the past yes.
But hes the type of player we really need.
He was worth a deal till the end of the season IMO.
Still a very promising quote though seems confident of some top talent coming in the summerYea i thought as much, really annoying thesw pages that make up quotes !
I dont think he actually said that mate, they have twisted it slightlyStill a very promising quote though seems confident of some top talent coming in the summer
Took the words right out of my mouth.No stupid loans please.
Another two class midfielders to play along side Kamara will do me! Oh and a class RW will be good to.

I don't know for sure mate.Has he signed mate?
Well that one remains to be seen! But hes looked great everytime he plays against us! So yeh definitely asap squad replacement for coulibalyI bet you a pound Graeme Shinnie will be at Ibrox this summer for free. Thoughts?
You're willing to stake a full pound on this?I bet you a pound Graeme Shinnie will be at Ibrox this summer for free. Thoughts?

Has he signed mate?
It's a massive summer transfer window for us and we need to get it right. My main worry for the start of the season is the European qualifiers though which start before the season. No matter what it is still going to be difficult as %^*& to qualify and the potential is there for people to go mental and start throwing the toys out the pram if we don't make it and there is every chance we won't. We got reasonably lucky this year with the draw so chances are we won't next season and everyone's expectations of Europe have grown. Europe next season should be treated the way it was this season with it being a bonus. The league is the main thing and we need to get off to a flier no matter what happens in the qualifiers.

Did he not just say that was our valuation ? Doesn't mean that's what we'll get.RObertson said at the AGM at ORSA we wouldnt be accepting less than what they got for Dembele .
So if thats 20 min ... then how are you getting 18 for him and tav .
Doubt our board will see it that way, they'll want the £ from EuropeThink most fans would take parking the europa cup next season to win the title.
If we add two to the midfield, one up front (two if we lose Alfie) and one at the back, that still might not be enough to win the league, but I bet you we’d be a damn sight closer.
That's not 4-4-2 it's 4-2-4.
Quality players cost money. 4-6 signings say £3m each, potentially £18m, where’s that coming from?
An African defender who is fast as fuk and also cheapIm still not happy with any of our central defenders mate, with hopefully Katic being able to develop & learn. So I’d suggest two central defenders to be honest.
We need to really be active in the OOC market mate. We’d be lucky to get 10m.
Some good suggestions on there mate but two issues:
1. We won't be signing that many players
2. Your values on some are well out I'm afraid:
; Petterson's club have a years extension which they're guaranteed to activate and given his form he'll still cost a few bob.
; Ivanusec will likely cost a bit more than that as he's very highly rated(the new Modric)
; Skov Olsen ditto will cost a LOT more than the figure you've quoted and probably be out of our reach (watched by biggest clubs in the world recently)
; Koljic will be three or four times what you've quoted
I'd estimate realistically we could get Shinnie,Halkett,Hastie,Petterson,Ivanusec and Koljic for about 6 million.And I'd take that then use whatever cash we have left for a number ten,no idea who that'd be though.
I'd agree and I'd hope these have been all but sealed already, not crap like Jones but genuine quality bosmans where wage wise we need to give them a fair wedge
An African defender who is fast as fuk and also cheap
Maybe Koulibally has a cousin
My worry is if Davis and Defoe are kept on next season how much that will take out of our wage bill, personally I would cut both short as we are not going to get the same value for the wages we are paying them as we could for someone younger.Agree SG. If we are really active here then we can dramatically change the squad for below 10m.
The only issue is how many we can’t move on of course.

We havent conceded a lot of the goals but we have conceded a lot of key goals in the last minute etc, thats not all the centre backs fault mind you but i do feel we need another proper centre back with pace.I think we'll keep McAuley as backup but I could see us going down the loan route again to replace Worrall.
We do clearly need another centre half in terms of numbers and a quality permanent signing would obviously be the preferred option, but if the money isn't there to bring in everyone we want this summer, I'd rather we focussed on getting in genuine quality middle to front.
We've only conceded 22 goals in the league all season. It's the one area we actually look reasonably decent in.

Regardless of what we do or don't need at that moment in time.
I'd think so mate,at the moment he hasn't been yet capped by the senior team just the U21's but according to @bobally who would know,it's only a matter of time before that happens and then his value will only go one way-still very young as well so if we don't get him in the summer,I'd suggest he will be out of our price range quickly otherwise.Koljic signed for 450k Cav, so as you suggest we would need to at least treble that given his success in Craovia.
You think 2m for Ivanusec mate ?
