Just a wee appreciation post for some of our bargains that have paved the way to our title success.
Allan McGregor - free
James Tavernier - £200k
Leon Balogun - free
Steven Davis - free
Glen Kamar - £50k
Ryan Jack - free
Scott Arfield - free
Joe Aribo - £300k
Alfredo Morelos - £1m
We've spent good money on others who have contributed just as much but some of these names/prices are proof that even in modern football there are great bargains to be had.
When you go through the squad it's got such a great mix of experience, youth and talent that it's no surprise they've learned from previous seasons and got the job done.
👍🏻
Some absolute gems

For some reason I thought we paid about £3m for Barisic which is why I never included him (even though he'd be worth every penny of the £3m).
But £1.2m is just ridiculous.
£1.4m for those goalscoring, assisting full backs is madness. 😂

It was I think a confusing transfer as it included Grezda
Quoted as 1.75 grezda 1.25 Barasic
Doesn't matter now but Barasic has been a stand out this season

Well even at £3m I'd repeat my earlier comment....a steal.
Brilliant player and exactly the kind of character you want on your team IMO

Of any Scottish team not just Rangers.

Don't get me started
Aye.
But across a swathe of players from a financially disadvantaged start.
I reckon the best.

I agree, though Duke's figures illustrate just how much of a lottery transfers are. In this case Rangers seemingly valued Grezda higher? Not always how it works out.
A club needs the right mix of raw material, work environment, development, team & squad dynamic to help make it all click.

Buying anyone for less than 5 mill is a massive risk
Crazy as that sounds
And paying around 2 mill probably has as much chance of working as a free
Blindfolded and chucking darts

A lot of fortune and chance in transfers as well.
Many who seem to stumble at the start win through.
Many Great Hopes crash.

I still find it astonishing that we've done as well as we have by only spending 400k in the midfield.
Also I think the times we have spent big has been worthwhile.
