Buy another then, as Roofe can't be relied upon due to injuries and Morelos will probably miss games due to international duties (*havnt checked)and who knows when he'll fully recover from the current injury.
If Roofe goes then he’d get replaced.
No chance we are buying a third out and our striker. Someone who can play there like Sakala or Roofe possibly but I we won’t have another out and out. To think so is as crazy as those who believe we’re gonna sign a new first choice goal keeper!
I was slaughtered on here the other day for objecting to the sale of Bassey, I completely lost the argument; it was explained to me, very well, that we need the money, outwith Europe in order to function- I hadn't had such an amount of posters against my point since the early part of last season when I suggested Lundstram was a far better player than given credit for. I now buy into this, so spending any significant amounts on transfers makes absolutely no sense. If Bassey needed to be sold now, two weeks before a CL qualifier, bearing in mind he was a main player against Dortmund, and The player in the EL Final signifies not only the priority of the model, but the essential need for it. We cannot spend big, and neither can we necessarily keep our best players, and if I've to come to terms with that, then so does every other fan. We have a good enough side, and we have good young players who have at least proved that they have huge potential; winning things is one thing, but we have to juxtapose that with fairly moderate spending compared to income, or else this whole "model" makes absolutely no sense.
I would probably add a CF to that.
That must have been some haul.
At best this striker would be third choice if not fourth. And since there would be virtually no chance he’d make the euro squad because of our quad size, what type of striker do you propose for this?
We’ve only lost two of that squad and have added 5 players to it. I’m sure there will be a 6th added as a left back so I think that’s pretty good business. Players brought in seem decent pedigree and not project players.
Really, have you watched our current strikers in games? we need better quality.
Striker and left back
We’ve not had them for months because of injury. But Alfie is coming back, and Colak has been signed for a few million. Add in players like Lawrence, Sakala, Tillman, Roofe who can play there and other place, and only 17 non home grown players slots in Europe and I can’t see who we would get in? A free transfer at the end of his career? A very raw youngster who has the ambition and confidence he can dislodge Alfie? We certainly aren’t spending any decent money on that position.
Morelos needs to be replaced as he doesn't score enough goals domestically, Roofe is also injured and attracting interest from Derby on loan, we need, clinical finishers if we are to kill off games, Colak could work out and I hope he does but too early to tell.
I think your on your own with the “Alfie needs replaced” unless he doesn’t sign a new contract. Thankfully I believe the club will have the same view but for those expecting another striker it’s going to be a disappointing summer.
Not on my own at all plenty of Rangers supporters say it, domestically he's an 11-12 a season striker that's not good enough for the chances we create, that's why we need another striker.
Many on here, myself included, would not allow Alfie to go for anything under £16m. To get someone in who is instantly better than him would therefore cost more than £16m which we don’t have. We might get someone who CAN be better than Alfie but it would be a gamble.
But you are not the one selling him it's the club. In the last year of his contract, we are unlikely to get 16 million but I hope we do.
A 20 million rated player who we bought for 1 million. I’m suggesting we scout well and lay out, perhaps 3-4 million on a reliable partner for Alfredo.
Yea he can and he immediately is our first pick at LB
Could use a striker.
Early pre-season fixture or not, it was telling (and horrific) to finish that game on Saturday with Glenn Middleton up front.
If Morelos and Roofe are out for an extended period, a striker becomes vital.
You are going to be disappointed then my friend
If we could tie up Morelos & Kent I'll be a happy bear.
