Probably not in the clear yet mate, we've had a very good 2 transfer windows regarding fees in but maybe there is too much risk and we still need a good guarantee of funds. I think even if we fail to make CL we should bring in a high calibre players be it CM or GK.
What price a young Steven Davis?
We’ve already got the best on earth.
I get all that, I get that we’re probably being financially prudent and thinking about the medium to long term picture, which is correct, but at the same time, if we fail to qualify for the CL and then lose the title to the Yahoos once again, the knives will be out and inevitably fans will ask why we didn’t add greater quality when we had the chance.
Sure he does, but if you’re the board and Gio is coming to you saying, “I’d like us to try and push the boat out for Billy Gilmour”, you’re going to be asking why we’ve just handed Steven Davis another year’s contract.
Needs to be playing in midfield to influence games more. He is a goal threat as well, that's what humped us that last game IMO
We've brought a fortune in from last season, sold out season tickets and brought in close to 45 million in transfer fees in the last year, we shouldn't need to be relying on that 5 million quid you refer to, if it's what the manager needs within reason he should be allowed to spend that.
True mate and I thought that with europa run gerrard compo everything but then a few pointed out the last 10 years and why we won't go hell for leather... it was said there would be no signings unless of outgoings ? So I believe if kamara went we would invest. That 5m from the play off could be invested without an outgoing is what I'm trying to get at
Fear you are right. McLaughlin will make a mistake at a shot and fans will say, "McGregor would have saved that" and then McGregor will make a howler with a set piece/cross etc and it will be "McLaughlin would have came for that ball"
I wasn't having a dig at you mate.
McLaughlin will be fine, the fans need to get behind him and give the guy a fair crack.
Does Gio want another forward thinking midfielder? He has signed Tillman and Lawrence for that role as well as having Hagi to come back.
Miss the quality Hagi brings, I knew at the time we would miss him even if it was an option off the bench.
I absolutely get the already crowded midfield argument but Gilmore is one who could perform in that position for years for Rangers and save us a lot of money long term.
I'm fine with him but you can just see what is going to happen. We're 2 games in and it's already starting.
Absolutely, but 1) I don’t think we should be trying to meet his likely wage demands, 2) I suspect Gilmour will be more partial to other EPL offers anyway, and 3) I actually doubt the club have any intention making a move for him.
Yep, much though I wish it were different, I can't see it happening either unfortunately.
The problem is no-one knows where Tilimans best position is.. including Tiliman.
I think Tillman is a progressive no.10, a sort of attacking midfielder / come additional attacker.
For me Hagi isn't a starter.
Id rathe see JL as the holder/destroyer and Lowry given some freedom
Interesting indeed mate and anyone with “nacho” in their name will have a head start at Rangers.
I don't think that's controversial Davis is/was a great player
Yeh today has me convinced now if I wasn’t already, we need a new and convincing No1. I’m surprised we didn’t try and get Kasper Schmeical in the door….rumours it was a small fee that was accepted.
You got the £120,000 a week he was earning at Leicester?
Do Nice?
Being bankrolled by Jim Ratcliffe. Think they can manage.
Spent £100m + the last 3 seasons so obviously they do.
I don’t understand this way of thinking….because he made one bad pass the whole game? I’ve been quite happy with his distribution generally since he’s signed. Think the whole back line got a bit sloppy yesterday.
What a player he would be for any other SPL club.
Not a peep from the situations with Helander, Roofe, Katic , Kelly , Simpson all guys we need to move on. Maybe no news is good news.
Can only move them if the players agree to move.
Do you know where Malik Tillman plays? You know the boy who's gone straight into the team and has been one of the shining lights so far of our new signings? He's improved the 11?
Everything we know suggests yes. Man U don't release a player who is a prospect like Gilmour. That's not to say he won't have a top career and isn't highly rated.
Kamara £50k
Or if clubs are interested
