Our best transfers ever?

[Punpun]

Read through the ‘worst transfers ever’ thread and it put me in such a shiter of a mood that I’m making this for therapy, and for hope that our recruitment is still excellent.

My contribution is Joe Aribo. Found him knocking about in the lower leagues of Engand, brought him up for a paltry £300k (1 week of Pogba’s wages), and he came within a scuffed penalty from being the hero that delivered us our first European trophy in 50 years. And is also someone we may still flip for an outrageous profit.

 

[Zwingli'sSausages]

Tav

 

[Ataturk]

Morelos for a million quid.

McCoist cost £185,000 but would have been a bargain at any price.

Boumsong made us £8 million in six months (don’t ask questions).

David Weir was the cornerstone of Walter’s second spell and cost us nothing.

 

[Gazza no8]

Rod Wallace must be up there.

 

[Jorg Albertz]

Davie Weir first name that sprung to mind

 

[Koist-El]

Bassey considering what we could end up selling him for

 

[Commander Bjorklund]

Bet this thread gets nowhere near the amount of responses as the other thread, such is the negative nature of this forum.

Great shout with Aribo, continuing the theme of more recent times Alfredo for 1m, Tav 200k and of course Kamara for 50k have all been incredible bits of business.

 

[SDF]

Klos - A Champions League and 2x Bundesliga winner for £700,000.

 

[calderbear]

Mo Johnston for what he did on the park and how, even now, his transfer messes with the beggars heads.

 

[Originalmacc]

Kamara for the 50k price tag has to be the biggest value for money spent

 

[deBoersHeader]

Davie Weir was the corner stone for Walters second success story.

Morelos and Tav have been instrumental in getting us back to where we belong.

 

[JayDee]

Jim Baxter, Alan Morton....

 

[scoot4nat]

Outlay vs return then the likes of Aribo, Kamara, Tav, Morelos from this team.

For me going back a few years guys that lit the jersey up - Lovenkrands, Prso, Albertz.

Even though he was only with us for one season I absolutely loved Tugay and he was criminally underused. Although to be fair what a midfield we had at the time.

 

[coolatballet]

Super Ally.

 

[Madjid Moments]

Kris Boyd in terms of goals v cost was great value

 

[Zwingli'sSausages]

Although not a transfer as such, Steven Gerrard has to be up there with the best signings we've made. From what he inherited, to what he left still amazes me. From bringing in players that were Rangers standard, and actually had value, to the modernisation of the whole club.

A huge gamble by King that paid off and then some.

 

[Sticky Fingers]

Allan McGregor for his second spell.

Brought in for free, with a wealth of new found experience playing abroad and down south. He came back fully ready to be the main man and he was. He was utterly sensational for us when he came back, right up until last season.

His signing of a new contract might not please folk, but his experience, his attitude and his general love for Rangers will help other young keepers no end.

A brilliant servant to the club in his second spell, and a European finalist in this spell also.

He’s gotta be up there for me.

 

[southfork loyal]

Alex Macdonald
Neil McCann
Coisty

 

[Dick Donner]

Most anticipated in my recent memory, suppose its another question altogether, but Jelavic has to be up there with the rare occurance where we expect a lot from the player and aren't left massively disappointed.

 

[LoyalRanger86]

Sasa Papac

 

[TheFrenchTank]

Rod Wallace must be up there.

Wee Rod, one of my favourite ever strikers for us.

 

[scoot4nat]

Klos - A Champions League and 2x Bundesliga winner for £700,000.

Yep agree with that great shout

 

[Malakai Blue]

For the financial aspect the boumsong signing was pretty decent.

 

[giogaddi]

Tav is the pound for pound King.

 

[Davidsmith1]

Flo
Goals to games ratio brilliant and we recouped more than half the transfer fee. Of course I’m joking just pointing out he should be nowhere near a worst signing thread. Baxter first time Stein even though he cost 100 k a record at the time.

 

[Bearsden_Ger]

Souness

 

[DerekSSR]

Tav has to be up there, Boumsong for a quick 8 million quid.

 

[CooperBlu11]

Davie Weir by a distance.

Sir Walter came in and knew our defence was a shambles and brought the big man in. He went on and won us 3 titles and a UEFA Cup final appearance on the basis of having a strong defence.

 

[Jamiegatami]

Stuart Munro - signed from Alloa for peanuts, fantastic servant, in many was the retro Sasa Papac

 

[DarthVader]

Klos - A Champions League and 2x Bundesliga winner for £700,000.

I'd discount Klos based on his ridiculous salary.

 

[Johansen]

Colin Stein
Alan Morton
Jim Baxter
Jimmy Miller
Brian Laudrup
Terry Butcher

 

[Grant K]

Alex MacDonald

 

[JW1988]

Financially
Boumsong

Value
Klos & Boyd

Best all round
Tavernier

 

[RossS1872]

For 450k, no one pound for pound scored more big goals and contributed in more big moments in his time than Nacho Novo.

 

[CalebBrodie]

Mccoist , Laudrup, Weir and Tav

 

[Johansen]

For 450k, no one pound for pound scored more big goals and contributed in more big moments in his time than Nacho Novo.

Think you'll find that Colin Stein did

 

[dt17]

Pound for pound a lot of our recent signings have been unreal, especially considering what they've given us and/or what they could move on for...

Tav
Morelos
Aribo
Bassey
Kamara

A couple of million combined yet will fetch us all sorts.

[Captain_America]

Tav easily for me; guy has been awesome for the club and hope he is here for a long time still.

 

[kramer]

Sonico Aluko payed his own transfer fee

 

[crmpicco]

Ally McCoist

 

[JMCK]

Too wide a criteria, because this club has made so many innumerable great signings; each of those greats contributing to rich thread of success. No one signing stands out from others; not in a team game spanning decades.

 

[Mackania]

Mark Hateley second time round

 

[RangersEasyOK!]

Gough, Baxter, Cooper, McCoist and probably quite a few of the earlier era players.

Only Tav comes close. Kamara isnt anywhere near the conversation for me

 

[GazzaLegend]

The scope for this question is massive, era, cost etc… but Dado Prsos is up there

 

[TheMarbleStaircase]

The most recent ones for me have got to be tav, Morelos, kamara, bassey, aribo. Didn’t cost all that much and have contributed so much, great talents and a joy to watch and I think if we sold them we would make a fortune on them.

 

[LoyalRanger86]

Lundstram, those goals against Dortmund and Leipzig I'll never forget them

 

[John MacKenzie]

Was going to mention a couple of the unsung ones,but they have been mentioned, so will do so again ---Stuart Munro and Sasa Papac,both held on to their positions despite pressure.
Also from further back Dave Smith who had the unenviable task of filling Slim Jim's boots who was also a bargain signing.

 

[Paisley-1872]

Klos
Novo
Weir
Boyd
Tav
Alfie

 

[BattleFeverOn]

Kris Boyd did no bad first time round
