The Winter 2020/21 Transfer Window Rumours and Deals - Thread
Rousseau replied to der Berliner's topic in Rangers Chat
I think Reach is a box-to-box midfielder, that likes to break late into the box and shoot from distance. He mainly plays wide in a 4-4-2, but he's incredibly versatile. He's not the most technical, I don't think; he's more about pace and power, shooting from range, whipping in crosses or bursting into the box to get on the end of things. For us, he'd maybe play in one of the wider positions in the midfield three; where Aribo and Kamara play now, as opposed to the central position that Davis plays. There was a spell where Sheffield Wednesday were very good, pushing for promotion, and Reach was an important player in that push, but he's waned as the club's fortunes have waned. His versatility has worked against him here, as he's been filling in everywhere. -

I just know of his ability to score a peach... -

Great stuff! I think he looks a good option: good profile, for a good price. I wonder if the perception of a poor injury record is based on him missing almost the entirety of last season? Which sounds bad, but it was just one really bad injury ('Cruciate Ligament Rupture', according to Transfermrkt). A player can get a bad injury, but it doesn't mean they're injury-prone per se - although, we don't know if it'll affect him later. I might be a tad optimistic, though. -

He's not like-for-like: he's actually more suited to the position he'd play for us than Jones and Barker; and, at 23, he's younger than Stewart and Jones. I agree with giving youth a chance, but you need decent squad players alongside the youngsters. Wright is a stand-out player in a 'good' Aberdeen side, whereas Kennedy is still only 18 and hasn't done much in Championship sides. To bring in Wright on the cheap, is a no-brainer, for me. -
Really? You all got my hopes up for a Hibs victory, and to see them take the lead... I was fuming!

None.

He looks like a squad player for one of the inside forward roles - perhaps a younger replacement for Stewart? He's classed as a forward, but tends to play deeper for them, in attacking midfield. -
We do love a good 'keeper, don't we.

Scott Wright: Rangers to make approach for Aberdeen forward Steven Gerrard's side could offer Wright a pre-contract now as he is out of contract at the end of the season but Sky Sports News understands Rangers are looking to do a deal in this window https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11095/12185104/scott-wright-rangers-to-make-approach-for-aberdeen-forward -
Separate Entity FC Plan About To Come To Fruition?

Which first team players have they actually got missing, though? SSN only mentions Duffy -- which strengthens them -- but that could be through injury? -

Consume the content, but just don't enjoy it. I've solved my dilemma: I've got SSN on in the background; such passive consumption can't possibly let slip the bad Juju. -

Rousseau replied to ian1964's topic in General Football Chat
I'm torn. I want to read it, but I don't want to give them clicks. More importantly, I don't want to bring any bad Juju to the Rangers squad. -
My first thought was, 'aye-- but Goram won titles', but McGregor is actually not far behind.

Sorry - I don't know how I missed it. Amended. -
Sorry - I didn't realise you wanted it up so soon. I could have done it last night, but thought I'd wait until the next day.

I know it was against 10 men, but it's always tough against 10 men: teams sit in and give up the little offensive intent they may have had against us. -

I'm delighted with the result. It's a tough place to go. It's pleasing to see a increase in performance too, but results are most important. -

I know, I'm just having a laugh. I'm just pleased to see us get the three points - I don't care how they come. -

I couldn't give two hoots how it went or ended; three points is all that mattered to me. I thought it was comfortable in the end. I think we're good at managing games.
