Im a bit more worried about you than McGregor :fish:

Pete Im really beginning to think your either a stalker or pervert, thats about the 3rd thread you've started with pictures etc. And werent you asking what time of day the lads train?

On the winning and losing thing Im totally with Barry here. Its not our job to impress the rest of Europe by any means - buggar that!!! But at the same time Id like WS to try and play more attacking football for me and the rest of the Rangers fans plus 2 reasons besides the obvious ones 1) I think if we upped our game especially domestically we would have far too much for any other team to cope 2) Teams dont seem to fear coming to Ibrox or playing Rangers anymore, they actually relish it and have a go at us now. We need to install a fear factor back into them like WS first era and DA reign.

Scott Carson is going to Stoke for 4 million Liverpool wanted 8 or 9 million in January from Villa. Strange one!! He isnt a bad keeper but not as highly rated as Ben Foster or Rob Green IMO.

This is a great point. There is so many comments about just making it into the CL is the purpose at times. IMO id rather 1 great season and win the thing than compete in it every year to extent. Obviously the cash situation and difference between the top leagues and the others has an effect on this where we simply need the cash more than anything else. It really depends on how you look at it last year. From a gradual stage process then last season was certainly a success. We got back to challenging domestically and won trophies again. But from another point of view it was thrown away. And Walters reluctance to use certain players and tactics could even have cost us the treble or quadriple. On a percentage scale (Calscot is probably the one to work out the facts here) then if we progress the same amount this season then Im sure it will make us Champions this time next year. However a few signings with quality and pressence is definatly required before the start of the season or we may see us dropping points in stupid games again on a regular basis.

As poor as that it, it is bloody funny But Cammy is right, unless we are buying players who will walk straight into the starting XI and are of higher quality then we shouldnt be wasting money on more expensive stop gaps. We're better off continuing signing the usual run of the mill SPL players to save the cash. As much as I am against signing SPL players id rather pay them peanuts than sign the likes of Faye again who would be on much higher wages. But a better solution would be to play some youngster, get a proper scouting system set up and find some real talent and spend whatever money we do have on higher quality.

I suppose you could add Webster, S Smith and Webster eh Juff

If he bags 15+ goals and creates a good few including winners against Celtic then Im sure he will begin to win

Im delighted McGregor signed on, but id also say Alexander is a very fine back up to have.

Cant agree more with Ian's post. I like Miller as a player and think he is the kind of player we needed in certain games last season. He is never a world beater but if he brings his Scotland for to Ibrox (which WS got out of him) then im sure he is going to play well for us.

Id rather sign the likes of Diamond for 750k and pay him peanuts compared to Shittu if he is just going to be a stop gap regardless of how much a cock he is. IMO we should be looking for another Cuellar or even a player half as good. I dont think Shittu was good enough now that Carlos has set the standards. Id draw the line at Lee Wilkie though

Fulham are getting 2 players from West Ham this week - Zamora and Paintsil. Paintsil is an attacking right back who I rated but Curbs didnt - maybe we should have looked at him! Rob Green stated he doesnt want to go but there is a personality clash between him and Curbs, but i expect him to stay and sign a new contract. Rumours are 50k a week, so dont think Alexander is going to West Ham

Pete your well right about Beasley - so injury prone. I think its coz he is too lightweight. But then Darcheville is too bulky and gets injured due to that. If we are going to get jinxed again with these injuries to add to the likes of Naismith and Burke who are out long term then Im baffled as to why we would let Buffel and Gow go. We obviously cant afford replacements.

Not managing to get a Watford player is embarrassing but its also no major loss. Id rather the money go to a midfielder. If we really need to sign another centre half then we should set our sights higher. If its a stop gap player then we should go for Zander Diamond or someone like that who wont cost nearly as much. But im hoping Webster gets fit

Put Carlos and Ferguson in that team for Dailly and Adam and it actually doesnt look too bad!!

I see it that you dont need 4 defenders in the SPL so going with 3 gives you an extra man further up the park. Just depends on if your full backs play as attackers aswell, but in some cases WS has played 4 centre halfs across the back and you dont need that.

I thought it looks more of a lighter blue aswell

Austria are not near as good team as others in the euros regardless what formation. But the 3-5-2 has been cancelled out with the 4-5-1 / 4-3-3 formations.

The Shittu one looks like getting closer

Quite like that aswell. Looks much better than last seasons top

Pete you stalker!! No sign of Boyd on a bike??

Agree with Calscot that we should be looking for a long term partner for Cuellar although I wouldnt class it as most vital as we have a few who can play next to him as a stop gap for this season. Also agree Fleck HAS to play a bit more this season. If he is good enough then he is old enough. It actually annoys me sometimes when people question playing him due to age. It should be irrelevant. How is the player ever going to get experience by playing the last 5 mins against Clyde in the league cup. Lennon certainly looked promising a few seasons back and should maybe have more of a step up by now. A loan wouldnt be a bad thing for him. I dont actually rate Fletcher for Man Utd but he would be a fine signing on the right for us. But id prefer Maloney or McFadden over him as they have that bit of creative ability.

The worst thing about WS's 3-5-2 was he played so many players out of position. Craig Moore and Alex Cleland in midfield :admin: But if you get it right then it can work out. MON got it right at Celtic. Cuellar, Weir and 1 from Webster, Hemdani, Papac or Dailly would be a good start at the back. We'd then get away with 2 holding midfielders, 2 wide players plus sign a creative central player. Then we also get to play 2 upfront.

It wasnt fuckn museli anyway!!! I bet he is washing his breakfast down with a Whopper meal

Apart from being an old bassa
