I wouldn't have been starting Silva at Dumbarton or Paisley, mainly due to the pitches and generally poor conditions.

 

I don't think that means he's behind Dessers in the pecking order, it's more to do with suitability.

 

 

and goals ...

Is saturday not the first game he hasn't started recently?

no dumbarton too. Don't take what i said too literally. I just mean another striker in and him or dessers become 3rd choice.

If we somehow have millions to spend i am not sure i would spend it on a striker with dessers form. Right now silva cant get a game for us. might depend on roofe and his return or non return. 

I would go with further quality in attacking midfield.

He’d be almost impossible to replace without spending really serious money

True but you could get a really good SPL keeper for peanuts.

Dessers goal must be a contender for goal of the season. It doesn't need to be a 30 yard screamer of an acrobatic cart wheel. His goal was simply sublime.

beautiful

Put away the cash box and soldier on with what we’ve got bringing back the injured should do it only one team to better and if we can’t do that then we deserve nothing keep the dosh for the summer signings 

Mon the gers. 

a league win this year will be worth maybe 60 million or more in CL revenue

Ffs, is that really the basis of your proposition?

The UK government decide work permits, not the SFA. There are some African countries where it's easier to get a UK work visa, and some where it's quite difficult. 

The real problem a  club like Rangers has when it comes to academies, be they Scottish players or African ones, is the culture around the club. If Nordsjælland never win a trophy no one will be surprised, so they can blood young players, introduce them to their first team, allow them to make mistakes and learn their trade, safe in the knowledge they are only there to be developed and sold. Our support simply won't accept that. Young players will get a couple of games at most to prove they belong in the first team, then they'll be fair game for the crowd if they aren't pulling their weight. 

We can set up as many academies as we want, but good luck getting them first team football at Rangers. 

So we buy a smaller team or get a b team in the league.

West Ham are in for another Nordsjælland player for £15M.

great set up they have. 

we should absolutely have academy's in Africa. 

SFA will stop us mind you

Multi-club networks seem to be the future. 

 

I wouldn't be against us being part of some network, but you wouldn't want us taken over completely.

I don't think that's right. I think it's a partnership. 

no they bought Nordsjaeland in 2015. they are a support club to the academies in Africa and Denmark. 

A route to market if you will 

ooooooft boy must be brilliant in fairness.

Joe Aribo played 49 and 43 games for us in his first two seasons and then played 57 in his third? Ryan Jack has played 40+ once in 7 seasons.

 

In terms of availability, it's a non contest.

yeah as i say missed a lot in those early seasons

For a team who can conceivably play 60+ games with deep runs in Europe and cup finals anything less than 35 apps (available for) a season is pretty unreliable imo, negligible even. Especially for a first teamer.

 

I didn't rate Aribo half as much as Ryan Jack as a player but I'd take him over Jack if I had a choice because he'll put down 90 minutes 2 or 3 times a week for the full season.

 

I don't mean this in a disparaging sense but Ryan Jack would be brilliant for a Kilmarnock or Motherwell just because of how much r&r he'd have between games. It's 3x a week for a full season with us - and then we schedule two bounce games during the winter break too.

Aribo was injured a lot. especially in his first couple of seasons. 

celtc will sign shankland we have no interest. neither would they if rangers fans weren't obsessed with him. 

surely it can make a fortune as a wedding venue. 

if that hasn't been sorted it's negligent

I'm sure you're correct stat-wise, but his passing and and closing down has very little to do with who he has on his right hand side, and both of those parts of his game looked alien to him. I'm far from a Barasic hater, he's been a good servant for us, but I'm afraid his time is over.

also been injured for weeks. 

anyway i suspect he will go 

between injuries and rumours this camp looks like quite a bad idea. 

Hopefully Big Phil got some value out of it. 

They sell tennents at the shamedome too

The prices they charge it shouldn't take too long to pay it off!!, and they sell fucking Magners!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, fuck is that all about?.

Tennents put a lot of money into rangers. 

Same company.

Insanely overrated...limited skill set, phoned it in for large portions of his Rangers career.

His level is Blackpool, or Wigan. 

League one, two...some smaller Championship clubs perhaps?

Never cared for him. 

TBF Liverpool fleeced us. 

 

 

yeah EL team of the season suggests that.

Barasic looked like a rabbit in the headlights on tuesday night (in a friendly!), this has to be his last season. 

statistically the best LB in the the SPL and second best full back behind tav this season. 

I am sure we can get better but that is by no means certain. 

He was not playing on wednesday with our normal defence.
