Potential targets

Expected Lafferty done by now tbh so we could have him in the squad v Ufa as a wildcard.

Not sure when the cut off for that is.

Yea agree with that, would be a good asset to have in our arsenal if we could get him in. UFA are a bit of an unknown quantity as are a lot of the teams at these stages, so we dont really know hoe good they are. I'm aware they got beat of Zagreb there at the weekend, however anything can happen in these ties. Was there anymore word on the Bosnian lads were were looking at?

Think it is becoming obvious Lafferty isn't a first choice target. If he was it would be done by now.

Gerrard has said a couple of times he would like to wait until the English squads settle to take advantage of any potential availability for players on loan, plus if we are in the groups there will be a change in who he could get.

Unless he is waiting until the last minute to see if Hearts drop their stance on valuation. After 31st August they essentially lose any right to get money for him, so perhaps we are hoping they end up taking a more modest fee rather than risk losing him for nothing.

Lafferty would slot in well and do a job for us. However it would be an underwhelming signing. Would prefer a younger more exciting striker to be brought in preferably as our player, not a loan. If we did hold out and tried to get Lafferty further down the line, I would understand. No need to be throwing money about if we don’t have to

Wonder what the odds would be on that DH?

posted on 21/8/18

Yeah I’d like to see lafferty brought back. He’s a big dafty but he knows what it takes to be a rangers player.

I’d actually rather him than any potential loans from down south as say Solanke comes up, we dropping Morelos and making him unhappy for someone else’s player to get development.

Not for me thanks. Even Kent, I’d rather see Middleton in there .

If El Buffalo picks up any sort of knock then we are in big trouble.

With Murphy out and windass away we are also a bit light in the wingers positions.

CB
CF
Winger

Agree Kaiser - Aye defo still a few signings away I think. Also agree IbroxE - would like to see more of Middleton, however Kent is playing well.

posted on 21/8/18

I'm sure 2 more was mentioned by Gerrard and since then we have lost Windass and pos Murphy
We have also taken a giant step closer to the group stages of the Europa cup

It appears the board are trying to get players in and supporting Gerrard and if they keep it up it could possibly be up to 6 still to come in
Sounds alot and a wild guess but it makes sense i think lol
4 more 1st team players for sure and who knows if we qualify for the groups ?

Bif Laff would be a good start and I would take wee Naismith as well

Gotta be at least another two for definite. We need another centre forward. Morelos is out we are stuck with the big flute from Roma and he looks patchy at best. Same at centre back, Goldson or Katic go off and we’ve got only young Mcrorie and after Gerrard slating Murty fur playing Mcrorie at centre back we don’t need the media circus that would follow should Gerrard pitch Mcrorie in at centre back

Naismith can smell my hole.

We need another forward, a winger and 2 cbs.

Gerrard has said McCrorie is a DM. Doesn't see him as a CB.

Reading there we are in for Jordan Jones.

Less than thrilled, nothing but a speed merchant. 4 assists last season playing behind the leagues top scorer is garbage.

Would rather see Middleton get more time than get Jones

Whats the situation with Jordan Rhondes these days?

posted on 21/8/18

On loan at Norwich, started the season well.

2 goals in 3 appearances.

Way out of our price bracket i'd imagine.

He did say that, that’s why we need a centre back rapid cos on Sunday there with Goldson hobbling we’d have no choice but to pitch Mcrorie in there. Then that leaves Gerrard looking slightly daft

New board member Julian woldhart.

Think it was him along with c1872 that bought out Ashley. A Hong Kong based investor

Totaly agree on the McCrorie thing
and the CB situation
Both those positions CB and CF had been mentioned by Gerrard last week
I'm calling a spade a spade here
Murphy is fekd could be feb19 before we see him again
we need
Replacement for Murphy
Cover for Morelos and Sadiq
Replacement for Windass
CB cover for Goldson and Kattik
If we make the group stages we will need cover for the Windass replacement and cover for Candeias
By my counting that's a possible 6 new players IE if we make the groups

I hope it is 6 as I have no faith in the likes of Kent Ejaria making a full season as the first choice
we have had players like that in Hyndman and Goss who when go off the boil they go OFF the boil lol
Cover is needed IMO

this time last year people on here were praising mccrorie at cb.

what happened?

posted on 21/8/18

Naw we wurnae !

Dembele destroyed him

posted on 21/8/18

March ageeed on Kent and ejaria. I said on here I thought Gerrard would play ejaria every game after giving him the number 10 shirt and that’s what happened . He’s gave big sadiq the number 9 shirt , let’s hope wee Morelos has changed his mind !


Jfk - I said he was a dm before it became hipster. Pfffft

Couple of bears on other forums talking about Richards and Terry, wages might not be a problem as they are both getting on a bit? Think they are both still out of contract.

posted on 21/8/18

Not a route I’d like to see us go down with terry. Who is Richards?
