The Spring & Summer 2019 Transfer Rumours Thread
Rousseau replied to der Berliner's topic in Rangers Chat
I tend to agree. His club, Girona, were just relegated, but even so, I see a Spanish side snapping him up. -
New strip looks okay, going by the leaks...

I agree: I don't see it happening. He's knocking on the door of the England National side. -

Nonsense. Ajax have the best Academy in World Football. No--I always appreciated your views on this. I don't think your data is right, though. Klaasen signed for Everton for £24m, and a few players still play for both clubs (e.g. Veltman and Vilhena). I still think it's something we should be copying--obviously alongside developing the technical ability of our youngsters and the tactical ability. We should have a degree of financial muscle over teams in Scotland, but we should also be trying to muscle-in on other countries too, like the Scandinavian countries.

The nonsense part was that we would've won the league if Katic had played every game, and that it was as simple as SG being too loyal to Worrall. I think there was a run of games where he went off the boil, quite badly. He deserved and needed to be dropped. There was also a bad injury and quite serious issues behind the scenes where -- someone can correct me if I'm wrong -- it was questioned whether he would ever play for us again? I may be remembering that wrongly, or it was pure speculation. Stewarty perhaps has a point too about the loan agreement coming into it. The length of that spell was too long, though.

Wasn't good enough for us. I wish him all the best, though.

I see Dorrans competing with Davis for the same role; the deeper, central player in the midfield three, with the freedom to move. The energy of Kamara and Jack have complemented Davis very well. They're both getting on a bit, so utilising both could work.

Whosthedado won the EURO 2016 Prediction League, with buster second and dB third. Craig won the World Cup 2018 Prediction League. Rousseau, Malangsob and Craig each finished on 54 points, but Craig took it on Correct Scores. -

No surprise I have the highest aggregate score -- I play every game!! Champions have gold font. -

I have an aggregate table for the last three seasons -- which is when I picked it up. -
Very hard to argue against Tavernier, or Morelos. I peeked at the results before submitting and thought Arfield deserved a vote. He's been a wonderful signing, and now that he's playing in a formation that suits his attacking play, he's been a stand-out. Even when the team wasn't playing well, Arfield always put in a shift.

But that's where I pick up my points! Sounds tricky to implement. -
Many thanks for taking part this season. I have noticed we had fewer participants this season than normal. Poor results always cause a decrease in participation, but I don't think results have been too bad--other than a bad period at the turn of the year, where we went 4-5 games on the bounce with very few points scored! There's no international tournament this summer, so this is a perfect time to have a little discussion about the state the the GPL. What I want to know is: what are we getting right with the GPL, and what are we getting wrong? Can we make any improvements? Is the point scoring still acceptable? Do you like how I break down the points scored? Is the points table clear? etc. Any feedback would be great. Finally, I'm fascinated by the stats. I have a spreadsheet with all the points picked up over the season, broken down by game, month, CR, CRG, FGS, CS etc. I thought it would be fun to pick out a few key performers -- An end-of season awards ceremony, of sorts! Most Correct Results: compo, Cooponthewing and Yorkie Bear collected 35 Correct Results, but Onevision was actually the most clinical, picking up 33 Correct Results in his 55 games played (60%). Most Correct Number of Rangers Goals: Rousseau picked up the most with 18 CRG. Most First Goal Scorer: ranger-syntax was well in front, picking up 17, which is almost 27% of the time r_s picked the correct FGS, with the rest of us were struggling to hit over 20%. Most Correct Scores: buster and Franc Ergs were joint top, with 8 Correct Scores each. Most Clinical (in converting a Correct Result into a Correct Score): No surprise buster leads with a 26% conversion rate. Bluedell, Franc Ergs and BEARGER were not too far off at around 20%. BlackSocksRedTops was actually very high at 25%, but only played 24 games. Most Full Points: Coop, buster and Franc Ergs each collected 2 full-point rounds. Most points from Europe: We played 14 games in Europe, with Lenny picking up the most with 25 points, and Franc Ergs a close second with 22. Most Points-per-game (ppg): Obviously, buster had the most at 1.62 ppg, but ranger_syntax and Coop finished with 1.43 ppg, Special Mention: Scott7 only played one game this season, but picked up the full 7 points! Clearly his skills are wasted on the amateur Premier League prediction thread.

Killie had a goal chopped off, rightly. It's poor defending, again. Flanagan and Worrall are allowing players to run off them. -

I agree. I'd take him, but I wouldn't be making him our main target.
