RANGERRAB

But don't expect the same player who left in 2012

He's only played something like 3 games for Norwich this season. I doubt he's the player he once was.

Ha ha brilliant. Tell them that's fine for the deposit

I hope not. Don't want either

£1000 seems very lenient indeed. No comment from Sheep FC ? Will Skinner surely be resigning as a non-exec director as a result of this ?

Had this been a Celtc player at Ibrox you can be sure there would have been constant reminders from the mhedia about it during these thirty years. However because it was a Rangers player at Celtic Park their silence has been deafening. Almost swept under the carpet alongside all other misdemeanours throughout the vile history of this vile club & its vile support

His form these past few months has been magnificent. Not surprised he's attracted interest

Mark Walter's Rangers debut at Celtc Park was probably the one of the worst examples of racism at sporting event of all time. Ranks alongside Hitler's refusal to present a medal to Jesse Owens at the Berlin Olympics in my opinion.

Yep heard this too. If so Windass will be gone. And Tavernier attracting interest from Sunderland too by all accounts. I hope we can hold onto Morelos. Remember he only turned 21 last summer. If he's still here this time next year he could fetch us a fortune

This is where the DoF earns his dosh. I was sceptical at first about this role at our club but can now see why it's necessary.

They were supposedly trying to punt Dembele to the EPL for £25m in the summer but no one was interested. Why would anyone pay crazy money for a forward who's scored just 4 goals in the SPFL premiership this season ?

If we are now attracting bids for our players then we are heading in the right direction as far as I'm concerned. There is no money in Scottish football. All Scottish clubs must develop players & sell them. We are no different in that respect unfortunately. And if we are doing things properly we'll have identified replacements for them.

Warburton wasn't what he appeared to be. Questions should have been asked why Brentford seemed keen to get rid off him before he came to us

All we can do is try to copy what they're doing. Get young players in, develop them & sell them onto the bigger richer leagues because there's no money in Scottish football as WS infamously warned when he stepped down in 2011. We've now got younger player such as McCrorie, Morelos, Windass, Foderingham, etc whom we could sell. Not many but it's a start. And if we get Tyler Roberts that's another. What we mustn't do if keep getting players in their thirties who are well past their best & have no resale value. The ones we've had these past couple of years have been mostly disappointing. We must learn from this.

£18m....looks like lots of timz have been getting Seville calculators for Christmas

It's Brighton & Chris Hughton. Is that a consideration here ?

Anyone seriously think anyone would pay £18m for a striker who has scored just 4 goals in the SPFL premiership this season ?

LOL our goalkeeper is better than the majority in the EPL. Just my opinion.

His contract is up at WBA in June next year I believe. Presume we're trying to sign him with that in mind

£18m for Dembele who has scored just 4 goals in the SPFL premiership this season ? They were trying to punt him in the summer to the EPL but there were no takers. No difficult to understand why

Tyler Roberts is exactly the type of player we should be signing. Develope him & sell him on for profit.

Let me explain what I mean by progress. When the transfer window closes at the end of next month, I hope the likes of McCrorie, Morelos, Foderingham & Windass are still Rangers players. Young players we've developed who have the potential to move onto a bigger & better league than the SPFL. Unfortunately it wouldn't take massive transfer fees to get these players but it shows (to me anyway) we're heading in the right direction. Of course we will need more than these players, I don't dispute that but hopefully we'll soon see an end to signing players in their 30's who are past their best.

I don't agree with your view on DJ. I think he is still a young player who could develop into a top class player for us. I also think Windass & Foderingham are also assets we have got as well as McCrorie I do not share all the doom'n'gloom on here. We now have got young players whom we have developed & can sell on. Perhaps not as many as we'd like and not for as much in fees as we'd like but we are now slowly but surely moving in with the right direction. And at long last we're beginning to see some sort of scouting system & youth development structure being put into place. Whether it's as successful as we need it to be remains to be seen. Overall I think we are progressing but perhaps not as quickly as some would like

So where is the funding going to come from to get all these players to take us to the next level?

Merry Christmas to all Gernetters. All I want for Christmas is a Rangers manager who understands the importance of playing three in Central MF
