Kind of has to happen this coming week considering its the 22nd JanuaryFantastic news
With all due respect to Souttar, unless someone is imminently moving out then don’t see the point in pursuing this now. Defence is looking more solid and we have priority areas in midfield and wide right that need addressing first
Correct, bring in Bain. He could pay off Barker, Simpson and Bacuna to free up space. (I'm being sarcastic as Bain only did what Murray told him to do).Still not got rid of the (deadwood) players that are not good enough yet still here, I’m not convinced Ross Wilson is the man for the job maybe I will be proved wrong.
Various sources close to Rangers reported a week or 2 back we would be looking for a RB and a RW.I’m not so sure infact I’d be surprised.

I want to bury the bastardsWith the tim injury list building, we have to push boat out this week and finish them off
That would be a bitterly disappointing window if so.I cannot see us doing any business other than perhaps bringing Souttar in early, and Sands who's already signed obviously. I guess all we can hope for is players like Roofe, Jack and Helander coming back from injury and getting a run of games under their belt, I do feel we are short on the right wing though, unless Gio tries Sakala out there?
Aye but champmanI don’t get this criticism. We could easily get rid of the deadwood. We could pay them off and get rid. It would hardly represent Ross Wilson ’being the right man for the job’ though, would it?
To move them on someone has to want them. They also have to meet our valuation. If we are over-pricing them then it’s fair to level some criticism. However, we haven’t even had a rumour to suggest anyone wants any of our deadwood, so I’m not thinking it’s that. Maybe they are just that shit nobody wants them! January isn’t a window where too much happens in all honesty, and that will be exacerbated by clubs funding issues from CoVid.
You can only sell if you have a buyer. We can’t even get someone who wants them on loan FFS.
If we aren't receiving offers for players then what you wanting Wilson to do? Get Robertson to pay them off?Still not got rid of the (deadwood) players that are not good enough yet still here, I’m not convinced Ross Wilson is the man for the job maybe I will be proved wrong.
He could get 40-50k a week in the bottom half of the EPL.Will likely be linked with Sam Johnstone again pretty soon. The interest there is real.
Possibly, and I saw he has previously said he wants to play in the EPL but we are after him.He could get 40-50k a week in the bottom half of the EPL.
I understand what your saying mate but he came in with a pedigree as his job is to over see the squad ins and outs.I don’t get this criticism. We could easily get rid of the deadwood.

Can’t see it tbh! Guy will go the EPL and be earning £80k a week at least. Money down there is off the scale especially for England internationals.Will likely be linked with Sam Johnstone again pretty soon. The interest there is real.
How do you know?Possibly, and I saw he has previously said he wants to play in the EPL but we are after him.
It’s his job that’s why we brought in a DOF, as we were paying off the deadwood in the past.If we aren't receiving offers for players then what you wanting Wilson to do? Get Robertson to pay them off?
His job is not to hypnotise people into buying our players, if they don’t want them then what do you want him to do?It’s his job that’s why we brought in a DOF, as we were paying off the deadwood in the past.

Aye ok lolHis job is not to hypnotise people into buying our players, if they don’t want them then what do you want him to do?
Oh to find another magnificent bastard!!He means we need a Kevin Thomson! He’s correct too!
Goalkeeper?Will likely be linked with Sam Johnstone again pretty soon. The interest there is real.
Would likely be a McLaughlin replacement. Siegriest that is.Sam Johnstone would be such a good signing and with the potential to earn the club £10m+ with a future sale. I can’t see it happening but he’d be guaranteed first team football and chance of CL football. I don’t see him announcing his new club this soon.
It’s all gone quiet around the Siegrist chat. Perhaps he’s just been lined up as a fall back option.
No chance we get sj, hes epl bound.Sam Johnstone would be such a good signing and with the potential to earn the club £10m+ with a future sale. I can’t see it happening but he’d be guaranteed first team football and chance of CL football. I don’t see him announcing his new club this soon.

If we do get him he's 28 doubt he'd have much resale valueSam Johnstone would be such a good signing and with the potential to earn the club £10m+ with a future sale.

That’s young for a goalkeeper. If we did somehow land him, two good seasons and he’d 100% command a £10m+ fee from England. Exactly the type of ambitious signing we should try to make. I get the feeling SJ would have been more likely with Gerrard still in charge.If we do get him he's 28 doubt he'd have much resale value
A few pages in and folk mentioning Celtic players already ffs!OK, let's try this again, and keep the nonsense out of it this time.
It would definitely be welcome, but a box to box midfielder would help enhance those around him.I am really hoping for a first choice RW if nothing else - like everyone else it seems. It is a position we have needed to strengthen in for several windows now and not with a project player, a player ready to better the starting 11. Hopefully this week sees some movement on that front.
Ok so you want to spend how many £million on a player PLUS the associated wage. You think they come with a smaller salary than anyone at the club? How are they going to be paid for when the club is running at a loss?You think McGregor, Arfield, Aribo, Davis are cheap lol
Don’t get prestige Bosmans mixed up with players on the cheap - they are all on healthy wage packets
Suppose Sakala and Lundstram are the same as above as they were free but decent wages
Generally when it comes to spending money you get what you pay for. That’s my point. It goes without saying if you want to push the boat out financially and put together a package for top Bosmans you can
Kamara is another one where folk seem to like to think he was worth 50k and use that to make an argument fit.
If we spend more than 25% of the up front fee I'd be very surprised.Do we have the money to go all out on a quality RW?
Genuinely not sure.. the Patterson money plugs the financial hole in our account does it not?
Not sure if we'll have much left over.. unless I'm missing something?
I hope so. Also hope it’s not just someone that improves the squad depth rather than improving the 11 right off the bat.I am really hoping for a first choice RW if nothing else - like everyone else it seems.

We got £4.5 million for Gerrard and his team.Do we have the money to go all out on a quality RW?

Aye, a CM and RW are top of my shopping list but if I could only have one it would be the RW position, I think our midfield can get by till the end of the season.It would definitely be welcome, but a box to box midfielder would help enhance those around him.
Both the positions mentioned here aren't cheap either!
If Lewis Ferguson was doable within £2m & we could make it work, I'd change it. With every passing game against the Sheep where ever was once quote anonymous, he is slowly starting to show he has a lot of the less popular qualities needed for playing up here.
Reality is the Sheep wouldn't want to do business & would arguably sell him to England for less than they'd take from us so probably a waste of time.
Not really. Calvin Bassey and Joe Aribo came to us on cross border fees. Iirc Leicester valued Bassey around £3million and Charlton over £5 million. I don't know the finances of Bassey but Stewart Robertson said the cumulative cost for signing Aribo was around the £2 million mark. I assume the costs for Bassey would be significantly less but that's a guess. Their wages would be given a boost but not by the millions we saved in fees.I think you’re completely misunderstanding what I’m trying to say here
You get what you pay for - even the good Bosmans you need to pay top wack for as they’ll command substantial signing on fees and wages
Going on your logic, Messi was a cheapie because PSG didn’t pay a transfer fee same as us with Arfield, Davis, McGregor, Aribo - relative to us obviously
They have contracts. If nobody wants them what do you want him to do?Still not got rid of the (deadwood) players that are not good enough yet still here, I’m not convinced Ross Wilson is the man for the job maybe I will be proved wrong.
We have enough of those squad type players already.I hope so. Also hope it’s not just someone that improves the squad depth rather than improving the 11 right off the bat.
Messi to PSG is just silly. PSG have all the funding they need to sign anyone. If they had to pay £100 million and they still wanted him, chances are they would do that too. Other than FFP money means nothing to them. We will never be in that position.Going on your logic, Messi was a cheapie because PSG didn’t pay a transfer fee same as us with Arfield, Davis, McGregor, Aribo - relative to us obviously
