Matt Polster possibly away?

[Leo_Ger]

That's a really good fee for him.

He isn't good enough to be a Rangers plyer.

 

[sw26]

Is that how it works? So will you be subtracting Morelos wages from his transfer fee?

Need to make sure you include his share of the laundry and catering costs at the training ground also just to get the full picture.

 

[ShotaShuffle]

Strange one with Polster. I doubt its attitude or fitness. And he looked like he was more than capable whenever he came in. Maybe the coaching staff just dont fancy it

 

[Valley Bluenose]

Maybe we are gonna go for the other Leicester City full-back as well?

 

[55 and counting]

I'm hoping this means Paterson is becoming a genuine member of the 1st team squad.

 

[EE-Bear]

I always find it amazing when someone with no connection to the club can come here from a foreign country and have such a meaningful relationship with the fans and the club then leave a Rangers fan for life. She’ll be sorely missed!!

Matt seems a good lad as well so all the best to him for the future and well done Ross Wilson for getting a fee and not paying him off like we used to do.

 

[EverGer]

Hopefully. A decent bloke but a ridiculous signing.

Why? Squads need decent backup players and he was that. Could play a few positions also.

 

[DamBuster72]

Is that how it works? So will you be subtracting Morelos wages from his transfer fee?

Will we make a profit in transfer fees? Yes

Will we make a profit overall? No

That's not how it works though.

See above. It's good that we're recouping some of what we've outlayed on wages but overall we'll be down £.

Good luck to the lad in future.

 

[prenzlauerbear]

A guy coming off the back of a serious injury who sat in the stand collecting a wage for the best part of 18 months. When he did play he looked poor. There was no need in his signing at all.

 

[PT98]

Will we make a profit overall? No

Does any team ever make an overall profit when selling a player then?

Profits and losses are based on transfer fees. The wages are paid to him because he is an employee and he is paid for working, they arent factored into whether we make a loss or not.

 

[The Lone Sniper]

Wilson again showing his credentials.

 

[ArfieldGer]

Will we make a profit in transfer fees? Yes

Will we make a profit overall? No

Literally nobody takes wages into account when discussing transfer profit/loss. Weird.

 

[Scottm1872]

Right that’s fine but have we offered his wife a new contract

I had high hopes she was going to be involved in the revamped RTV coverage

 

[govantrueblue]

Leaves on Monday.
Best wishes to Matt and Brittany never really worked out however wish them both well.

 

[JeffreySpauIding]

Decent enough back up for a position that back up is rarely needed. Good to get a fee for him.

 

[Kentbear]

Refreshing to get a fee for a player rather than paying to get them out the door.

 

[CanuckBear]

300k is great business for Polster.

We have heard about the Leicester kid Gyamfi-He could be a good shout.
Not sure how he compares to Patterson but I just want the best squad so if Gyamfi is better then get him in and loan out Patterson.
Either way though we need to get Patterson playing to keep him progressing

 

[Wilbour]

Oh well at least when he hangs up his boots he can say " I played for the famous Glasgow Rangers "

 

[DamBuster72]

Does any team ever make an overall profit when selling a player then?

All the time.

Boumsong, Hutton, Cuellar for ourselves.

Any of RB Salzburg's sales in recent years.

 

[Supermac1872]

Shame, would liked to have tried Polster in a number of positions.

Matt will be missed also.

 

[Blackpool Dave]

Best wishes to him I'm sure he enjoyed his time with the famous.

 

[Main Stand]

11 minutes and no likes wtf.

 

[Laudrup11Cooper]

Hopefully. A decent bloke but a ridiculous signing.

Another completely baffling signing, who wasn't give much of a chance to dislodge Tavernier, who seems once again to be bulletproof!
There was talk before the shutdown that Tavernier, and possibly Goldson would be for the off.

Now I know it's early, and there may yet be some more to leave...but if we start off the season, again with the same defence including Helander, and Katic...pretty much the players, apart from Helander...who played the last part of the last season, then we are going to have the same issues as last time. Why wouldn't we?

They are who they are ...

Only time will tell...

 

[HamiltonBear]

McGregor will be gutted.

 

[GranvillusClutterbuckus]

Need to make sure you include his share of the laundry and catering costs at the training ground also just to get the full picture.

And find out if his car was a company one or not and if it included a mileage allowance.

These things can tip the scales.

 

[Mcnovo]

If polster goes, a think another rb will be signed as back up to tav, Patterson should be back up but tav plays almost every game so a think he will go out on loan

 

[47blue]

Decent enough player, however we have too many blocking the path to the first team for our youngsters.

 

[Clubdeckg]

Makes sense for him to move on

 

[47blue]

Tav had a poor season last year, but I think he was over played.

 

[Subway Bear]

Played out of position, looked better in midfield. Didn't cost a lot, stepped up when asked, had a mistake against Leverkusen (plenty others made similair mistakes in other games) but seemed to really enjoy being at the club and being one of us. If he stays I'd be happy, think he has something to offer as a squad player, if he goes, best wishes to the lad.

 

[Mr Wilton]

If we’re to be honest we can’t really have a player where we want his Mrs around more than him! Good luck to him if he’s on his way.

 

[bloodandfire]

Good luck to him if true.
He never let us down when called upon.

 

[Tractionman55]

Good deal, but never really had the level required.

 

[IbroxForever]

If confirmed imo its a great deal for us. For me his biggest problem is he lack of fitness.

 

[Coatbridge Chancellor]

Let's face it, it's never a good sign for a player when his wife is more popular than he is.

 

[Coplandbear]

A baffling and questionable signing since day one.

Essentially a utility player with no role which I found bizarre even then in most of his rare appearances he was never up to the standard required. All this neat and tidy patter doesn't cut it for me.

The more mediocre players we move on the better this summer imo.

It's not just the first team that needs quality the squad badly needs competition and players who we can bring in and do a job when required.

Hopefully more will be moved on in the coming weeks like Barker, Jones, Stewart and a good few others.

 

[SDF]

The positive thing is that's £300,000 banked for a player clearly not in the plans.

That's also £300,000 we would never have gotten under the previous Director of Football.

 

[MarkWalters11]

Folk on here saying it was a baffling signing. It was low risk, he was a probably on low wages around 2 k a week , and would have played had flannigan or Tav got a bad injury. The club always needs back up and I don’t see why the singing was baffling to some people.

 

[dickadvocaat]

Wish him all the best, didn't get much of a chance in the first team but he didn't seem anywhere near good enough when he did get gametime. Will miss Mrs Polster though.

On my time on FF I've learned one thing, a large percentage of our posters still think its the 1980s where you have a first 11 and 2 subs, they don't seem to be able grasp the concept having a squad

Polster was just a signing for signing sake. We had Flanagan who could cover at right back and last season we also had Patterson too.

Central midfield was also our most populated area in the team too.

He was an utter waste of money on wages.

 

[William Of Orange]

Loss when you factor in wages for the last 18 months.

Likely getting our money back after wages.
For us thats unusual ,

 

[CooperOnTheWing]

He was a very decent player who contributed in various positions when asked to. Can’t say more than that. His natural gift is lower than many others who have worn our colours but he used what he had, something that not all do. Won’t be particularly sad to see him go but he goes with all my best wishes and the hope that he can excel at a slightly lower level.

It does make the right back slit interesting though. We now would have really absolutely no senior cover for Tav. Jack is probably best suited if needed. So the question is whether we think Patterson is ready or whether a senior deputy will be acquired. I’m happy to trust the management either way. Patterson looked pretty decent in his few run outs but also had enough question marks that I wouldn’t be upset if he’s not considered the answer at present.

I would think McRorie will also challenge for that spot. Plays there for Portsmouth and Scotland u21s.

There was talk before the shutdown that Tavernier, and possibly Goldson would be for the off.

Now I know it's early, and there may yet be some more to leave...but if we start off the season, again with the same defence including Helander, and Katic...pretty much the players, apart from Helander...who played the last part of the last season, then we are going to have the same issues as last time. Why wouldn't we?

They are who they are ...

Only time will tell...

Maybe, because it’s not the defence who are the primary problem.
Perhaps, it’s viewed that a bigger issue is the defensive midfield or, more likely in my opinion, that is the front of the team and the lack of goals from midfield and wide players that is more a concern.

Goldsoms superb when he plays with helander , he looks more comfortable and can play his game without worrying about covering Katic

 

[punk]

Could hardly tell you what he looks like, but his wife is blonde and, well you no the rest

Your right, they then need to be transformed into winners via the mentality route. Souness did it with an addition of 3 players.
2 years down the line, with most of the same players.
I have my doubts.
Hagi isnt going to be the difference imo.
For a start a hurlock, souness or buthcher type is needed.

How do you know Paterson was ready then? How do you know the club weren’t considering selling Tav at that time, you have no idea what was going on behind the scenes and I doubt very much he was a signing for signing sake.

 

[Rod The Prod]

I liked the look of Polster. Never got a chance in the midfield and rightly so at times tbh as our midfield for the majority was on form. Wish him well though if he does leave.
