  1. Hagi had played a few sensational through balls leading to great chances.
  2. I see Dumbarton and ICT are in administration (or financial difficulty of sorts). I wonder how difficult it would be for those running our club to spin up a mysterious shell company and buy them over, use them as a farm team to send young players on loan too. Remember all those strange entities that owned shares in us that was never made clear who owned them during the spiv era, just registered to some lawyer somewhere.
  3. He should be moved on in the summer, will be down to his last year of contract and given his injury issues not sure giving him a new contract would be worth it. Look at Sterling for example. That was a waste, hope we didn't give him much of a wage rise. Hopefully we can move him on in the summer. Basically a right sided Ridvan.
  4. That guy Pete O Rourke hasn't got anything right when it comes to transfers Footy insider reporting it too, not sure if they can be trusted either, but its something. Let us hope.
  5. He might replace Dowell, but we could replace Dowell with a dead horse tbh. He's probably going to replace Lawrence who is out of contract at the end of the season.
  6. Sky Sports reporting we are in talks to sign Lyall Cameron from Dundee. Bring him home, scarf above head etc
  7. That's not how it works. The plan is always to try and build a winning team on the park. How you construct that team, with specific player profiles is what is important. If you buy young players, you get cheap wages and potential to improve (in theory). As a result these players have high value, as a buying club can buy a player with an upside and who should be looking for a modest wage. Look around world football. All the money is being spent on players 23 and under. Teams aren't breaking records buying Zidane and Figo at 28 anymore. The Goldson scenario was another example of how not to do player trading. We spend 3 million and 20k per week on a solid to good performer for 4 years. If he left for free and the end of his contract, that's good business. The key part to any player trading model is to sell high (after success) and sell at the right time (before any new contracts / wage rises). We did it with Aribo, Bassey and Sakala so it can be done. The issue is we didn't reinvest it properly after that. Its not about selling a player as soon as you make any profit, that is counter productive.
  8. Stevie Clifford said on the Rangers review this morning he has heard we are interested in Abdel Abqar of Alaves (free at end of season) and Liam Lindsay of Preston. I'd take Lindsay on a free if he is running down his contract, would be a good squad player. Big strong guy, good left foot. Know a guy who was assistant manager when he was Barnsley and he raved about him, said he was much better than they expected when they signed him from Partick.
  9. I think if we are looking at a centre back we should be looking at a similar profile to Nikola Katic when he first signed, a young player from a Croatian type league or Scandinavia, perhaps on a loan to buy. Give them 6 months to assess. We have 6 months of breathing space until we will be expected to mount a title challenge again (realistically or not) so its a good opportunity to roll the dice.
  10. The Rangers Review understands the club are not active in talks to sign Burnley defender Hjalmar Ekdal on loan, however Although Ekdel is a profile known to the club it's believed that Rangers are pursuing other targets in defence at this moment in time. Rangers are committed to not selling any players making an impact on the pitch in the January window. However, as previously reported, they remain open to offers for others such as forward Cyriel Dessers, as they continue to rebuild their squad.
  11. Looks like Bayern are interested in bringing back Tillman from PSV. They have a 35 million clause. We supposedly have a ten % sell on.
  12. Just punt him and play King or young Hutton at RB. Nowt to lose.
  13. Only the good lord can work such miracles I suspect.
  14. I thought it was Skov Olsen the Danish international. Widely linked to us that they were bringing in? He's injured all the time so kind of good we didnt get him.
  15. It should be football people doing the review, not a company. However. I thought the whole point of appointing someone like Patrick Stewart was to have someone with the skills and experience themselves who can identify areas of improvement and implement changes and course correct as appropriate. How much is this external review costing? Hopefully its not a deloitte / KPMG etc
  16. Just seen the St Johnstone goal, how was a foul not given for the jersey pulling on Hagi??
  17. I think it will be the same problem then that it is now and it’s not that people don’t care about protesting. Id guess the likes of us on Gersnet, other forums and social media are a small portion Rangers fans who are engaged online. I bet you the vast majority don’t bother with twitter or forums and had little to no idea any walkout was happening today or even the tension that was bubbling under with regard to the boards mismanagement. The rank and file fan who still reads the news papers and listens to radio Clyde phone in. The guys who had no idea what Murray was up too. The reason the spivs got a free reign for so long.
  18. Protest might just end up being counter productive if this was the outcome. People will focus on the supporter disagreements rather than the protests, which was part of the issue around any protest against Murray.
  19. *Taps the OP* Stewart confirms what needs to happen but no one wants to hear it.
