We're going to have some height in the team next season if we sign Barron, the South African boy and still have Yilmaz!
Trying to find the specific post in amongst all the madness would be murder but someone posted one of those data graphs people make of players when he was linked in January. He's purely an attacking fullback.I don't know anything about Jefte, but I know I want 2 full backs who are good defensively.

Asks Twitter but doesn't ask his mate who actually saw the guy
That news is going to travel rapid.
Albion Rrahmani bring him ....
In theory it could be today with Albion Rrahmani.
You'd think in this day and age the mate who saw him would be able to take a quick photo of Koppen.
Is this re: Butland leaving and £21m?!Think ive been given a bum steer, hopefully.
Shankland who had a hot 4 months from open play earlier in the year, a purple patch for him as far as top flight goals form open play goes. But has scored a single goal since the February form open play, in a period where Dessers has 9 goals.I think if we sold both Lammers and Dessers it might be worth going for Shankland given he has a year left on his contract.
Barron if he'll come would make perfect sense.
I like Miller and Watson, but I just don't think we can afford to spend millions on players not ready to be starters for us sadly.
I appreciate you have an opinion mate, but at least get your facts straight if you're going to air it.Shankland who had a hot 5 months but hasn't scored from open play for months now and has only once in his entire career scored more than 12 goals from open play in top flight football?
That Shankland? Dessers is a better striker.

The Butland figure was earlier in the thread.Is this re: Butland leaving and £21m?!
Sorry if I've got mixed up with posters.
A loan signing?Tbh Strider i’ve not seen much of Harry Souttar either but he has a higher pedigree than John imo . Played WCFs and played well too . Played in Premiership which is absolutely vastly superior to Scottish .
Probably the most import ant part is he is a giant of a guy and that is a massive ( oops ) aerial advantage in both boxes as they say these days .
On the major negative side he had a very serious injury and what is equally serious is his salary

Shankland would have a much better record playing for us. Would b a decent player 2 have in squad if hearts don't want crazy money. Certainly not at the 5m being quoted in JanShankland who had a hot 5 months but has scored a single goal since the February form open play, while Dessers has 9 since then.

He scored on Saturday.
I've edited the post, it's his first from open play I believe in a long time, in that time period Dessers has scored 9 goals.He scored from open play 2 days ago mate
Shankland over dessers any day of the week.Shankland who had a hot 4 months from open play earlier in the year, a purple patch for him as far as top flight goals form open play goes. But has scored a single goal since the February form open play, while Dessers has 9 since then.

The one who also is as slow as a week in jail, offers nothing other than goals, no pressing and can't play as a sole striker so wouldn't suit our tactical setup.
That Shankland?
I get your thinking too and tbh I dont think Shankland would be the best use of the money it would take to get him but i think you then have to thinkI've edited the post, it's his first from open play I believe in a long time, in that time period Dessers has scored 9 goals.
Since the winter break it's 9 goals for open play for Dessers and 2 for Shankland. Dessers is the top scorer in the league since then and is also the highest minutes to goal ratio into he league the entire season.Shankland over dessers any day of the week.
It’s not even a debate
Maby one of his mates stag do.
Too warmI'd rather be in Cyprus than Glasgow
Or both?Shankland over dessers any day of the week.

Slightly concerning then, as these YT reels usually make players look as good as Franco Baresi...Got to be honest, not the best YT reel I've ever seen!! Trust the gaffer with this one if its true.
playing for Rangers brings you more chances. When Shankland had his chance on Saturday you knew he was finishing it. if dessers had the ball 3 yards out with no keeper I still would half expect him to miss. Shankland is a finisher and even if not first choice can get goals from the benchSince the winter break it's 9 goals for open play for Dessers and 2 for Shankland. Dessers is the top scorer in the league since then and is also the highest minutes to goal ratio into he league the entire season.
Dessers should be a backup next season, but Shankland is so far form the answer it's unreal. He's an absolute plodder who had one decent purple patch his entire career and has delivered 1 goal in months now.
He phoned Cifuentes to ask about the weather & is now having second thoughts...Surely he'd come here rather than Apoel?
Looks a bit like Bambi and more of a left back.Got to be honest, not the best YT reel I've ever seen!! Trust the gaffer with this one if its true.
There's literally no point in comparing how many goals a striker scored for hearts in comparison to how many a striker scored for Rangers.Since the winter break it's 9 goals for open play for Dessers and 2 for Shankland. Dessers is the top scorer in the league since then and is also the highest minutes to goal ratio into he league the entire season.

He scored over 30 goals in a worse team.Since the winter break it's 9 goals for open play for Dessers and 2 for Shankland. Dessers is the top scorer in the league since then and is also the highest minutes to goal ratio into he league the entire season.

No. Even as back up imo dessers isn’t good enoughOr both?
He might be referring to Tav and Goldson in that regard.Clement has already said that he will have experience in the squad
Who's the south African winger? Missed that.A seemingly reliable poster (copeland front) on RR saying nothing in the Albion links and that the South African winger is happening for just under a million.
Undoubtedly this will go on and on. Shankland has one more contract at decent wages left. He needs to pick his move carefully.Shankland over dessers any day of the week.

Relebohile Mofokeng from Orlando piratesWho's the south African winger? Missed that.
Maybe he was on a stag do?
Haha that is defo made up off the back of the big striker rumours.
Mofokeng. Andy Devlin says deal closeWho's the south African winger? Missed that.
There's not a lot in it either way. If either of them is our main centre forward next season, then the window will have been a massive failure.Shankland over dessers any day of the week.

Well, his mate seen him in the airport but doesn't know why he'd be in Bucharest, so he's asking if anyone else does... Don't see the issue hereAsks Twitter but doesn't ask his mate who actually saw the guy
The experience that Tav and Goldson brought during this year’s title run in was priceless.He might be referring to Tav and Goldson in that regard.
Rrahmani did play yesterday vs FCSB. Maybe one last look at him in the flesh to tie in with the data on him.
Shankland for £500k in January when his contract has 6 months left is my prediction. 2.5 year deal.Undoubtedly this will go on and on. Shankland has one more contract at decent wages left. He needs to pick his move carefully.
Looking at his stats he should be moving to the English championship where he will get the wages he is looking for and play for a team with similar pressure for results as Hearts have.
There is nothing in this seasons performance or his track record that says he will come to Ibrox and score 20+ goals a season. Nothing to indicate he will thrive under the pressure he will face playing for us. He has had his best season ever and needs to cash in on that.
He is the wrong age for us, we need to invest in players with a resale value. He will not have that. Had he been 5 years younger then yes worth a punt. But he isn’t.
He is a decent player but we need to spend our money wisely. Signing a player of his age who isn’t the quickest doesn’t solve our long term finance problem.
This debate will go on forever but we must make player trading a reality. He is not the right fit for that model.
