He was told that his place was no longer guaranteed, bit of a differenceHe did because he was told his playing time would be reduced.

Flop is a bit harsh.Completely agree, if Gerrard had known what a flop Ojo would turn out to be he wouldnt have let him go imo.
Agreed. I think we need one more real quality attacking midfielder signed but he has to be able to put pressure on Kent too, not just Aribo. Aribo created more goals than Kent. 8 assists, Kent didn't get any.As it stands, Aribo and Stewart would be the options.
Aribo has done well at times, piggery as an example and Stewart has done well at Ibrox against the deep lying defensive teams, with Aberdeen being the prime example.
I don't have any suggestions for someone to be signed in that position, but it wouldn't suprise me if we brought someone in.

This is just an absolute myth that Tav somehow needed Candeias to play well, the first half of the season Tav was on fire and done perfectly well defensively apart from the YB away and Tynecastle games.But did Candeias not leave of his own accord. Wonder if he regrets it. Tav hasn't been the same since and we've missed that link up they had.
Not at all convinced that wide right is how we should use Aribo. Also Kent can play more as a winger when on the right.

New Signing Hagi Kent
Aribo New signing

Guys like Arfield and Davis (given his form since January) should be on the bench or used for rotation or loss of form.
We definitely need at the very least 2 starters, ideally 3-4.
Is Berghuis a RW?
Maybe Messi and all, dream big mate, aren't we getting Poch in?Yer man havertz from leverkusen wouldn't be a bad shout
Similar chance of signing him to beghuis
Berghuis is way more realistic than Havertz tbhYer man havertz from leverkusen wouldn't be a bad shout

I would like to have seen Candeias in the current teamWe’ve never replaced Candeias for me
He was underrated and I know folk will look at his goals and assists but he offered much more than that especially the defensive side to his game
IMO Tav hasn’t been as effective since Candeias left
A huge mistake by Gerrard,I loved the Candyman.We’ve never replaced Candeias for me

Jones, Barker and Stewart really don't make sense at all in hindsight.The thought of Stewart, even as backup, gives me the fear.
Just never struck me as good enough to be with us, he seems as athletic as Jack Duckworth as well
We've missed our chance on him now.Not sure if we are still interested but possibly vydra playing off the right could be an option.
I’ve only seen him a handful of times but he seems technically good and quite powerful. I don’t think he’s ever been a prolific goal scorer, wether that be playing as a number 9 or off the front but I do feel he could thrive at playing for a big club like us.
Wages, would be worried he’s never held a place anywhere he’s beenWould Ibe on a free transfer from Bournemouth be worth a look.
I know we don't play with wingers but I still think one of our biggest problem areas is a right sided attacker with pace. We don't create enough in the final third and we also need someone who can chip in with goals. Pace is a necessity in Europe and against the tims.
Against the teams that sit in, we hopefully have the creativity to unlock in the likes of Aribo and Hagi but we still need players from wider starting positions to contribute.
Who would you like to see us try and bring in?
Candeis ?Would be delighted if they were signed as they would bring the extra bit of quality that is needed!
He played a handful of games and scored a few goals but that was only because of injuries Burnley had.We've missed our chance on him now.
He'd be bad value considering that Burnelys asking price will have gone up, he was starting to play for them and quite well

Also, Candeias was on fire in pre-season aye, but last season particularly the second half of the season he was absolutely dreadful and I don't get why people have just forgotten about it. There were numerous times he done this but the one I remember was Aberdeen at home in the cup, through on goal and all he had to do was slide it across for a goal and he fucking rifled it head height at 100mph. He was far too inconsistent going forward, he might have provided more defensive solidity but if we want to win a title we need goals from our RW, not defending.
Can we also get ryan hedges for a double act?Manuel benson
We don't play 442 or 352 which would suit Candeias, in 433 we need our two wide player in the front three scoring and making goals. It's a problem we have still to find the solution to

Skov Olson’s a great shout, doubt we’d get him though, I said that about Hagi though!Mentioned before but I’d like Skov Olson on loan from Bologna.

A left footed right winger no doubt.We supposed to know how that is?
Not sure we can use anything from Dubai onwards as a barometer for where we should be thoughBit harsh mate, as he did well in the games at Ibrox, when he played.
He also improved his fitness dramatically and was in the top 5 in the endurance runs in Dubai in January.
I wouldnt go mentioning anything about Dubai in a positive light....Bit harsh mate, as he did well in the games at Ibrox, when he played.

Not a dig at you mate but it’s a myth that we let him leave. Candeias wanted to leave as we couldn’t guarantee him a starting place every week. That certainly isn’t the mentality I want from a Rangers player who had won nothing.It still annoys me Candeias was dumped from our first European squad. The writing was on the wall for him after that
Folk will claim he left us as he didn’t want to fight for his place but IMO there was no way Ojo was going to be bombed out for DC so early in the season regardless of performances.
Criminal to think we allowed DC to leave and his replacements have been Ojo, Stewart, Barker.
I’d love to see the boy Adama traore that’s at wolves. A flat track bully, Physical,I know we don't play with wingers but I still think one of our biggest problem areas is a right sided attacker with pace.

Burnley chairman came out and said there struggling for money due to covid19 so I wonder if they'll have to let a few players go maybe theres a chance we can get him Burnley aren't one of those cash rich epl teams with a billionaire ownerWe've missed our chance on him now.

Bit harsh mate, as he did well in the games at Ibrox, when he played.

He looked out his depth upfront at tyncastle in the Scottish cup but to be fair the whole team was poor that day
He should have been utilised far more than he was, certainly against the dross teams at Ibrox.He's never a striker in a million years mate.
He was totally out of position.
When he's been played in his right position he's done well enough for us.
