I’m not seeing it with this Zungu guy at all. We don’t need another defensive midfielder. I wouldn’t mind another centre midfielder but only if he was attack minded, sorry to say it but a centre midfielder who could contribute creatively in the way that Calum McGregor does. I really hope we sign an attacking midfielder though. We can’t go into yet another season relying on Kent. He doesn’t have the end product we need and isn’t good enough to break down deep lying defences. Very happy with Hagi, Aribo and Jack though. Those guys are at the level we need.

Yeh but with a name like Atanga he must be fast

He looks promising from the clips on Youtube. However he just seems out of our budget both in terms of fee and wages.

Josh Maya is an intriguing link, but I’m skeptical that one could be done.

Yes, we need a forward with a bit of guile and intelligence to break down stubborn defences. A player who can play a defence splitting pass himself, as well as pulling centre backs from their position to make space for others. Defoe actually does this pretty well. But I do believe it would be a waste not to have a forward who is good in the air too given we have Tavernier and especially Barisic who specialise in crosses. If Morelos is sold, I trust our scouts to find a good replacement and I still wouldn’t be averse to having Dykes as a squad player too.

Yeh, I’m sure he would do well but I think I would prefer an out and out striker be signed who can link up well with the midfield. I think I’m a bit skeptical too because English players who made their reputation playing at the top of the Championship are notoriously overrated and poor value. If there is truth in the link he would probably fit the bill for one of the number 10 positions though.

I keep hearing people saying he would be brilliant. I have only seen his highlights reel but I don’t see it? He looks a natural winger and not a striker. His record isn’t inspiring either. Is he really hood enough?

My attitude hasn’t changed, I’ve been consistent in saying he is overrated on this forum. He has been brilliant at times but overall it has made sense to cash in and strengthen the squad for some time.

I trust our scouts. We need a new striker and an attacking midfielder who walks into the starting 11 and this could give us that chance. It is clear as day to me that there is a lack of quality behind the striker. Personally I’ve always believed Morelos is overrated by our fans. 12 goals in 26 in the league and no goals since December isn’t good enough and make no mistake about it, it cost us. Most of his 12 league goals came in very comfortable wins too. I genuinely believe our scouts can find a player who will score more league goals. I don’t mean to downplay his achievements, but I do believe many very poor performances were overlooked because of his European exploits.

Aribo has end product. He is a quality player, I’ve got no concerns about him at all.

I think there’s a danger in reading too much into a major exception. I don’t think we undervalue our players, I think it’s far more common to overvalue them. If you asked most Rangers fans to value our players you would end up with a £100m starting 11 who were 10-13 points behind Celtic by March.

Agree with all of that. I genuinely think Edmundson could be our best defender soon. I know he hasn’t been tested massively defensively but he is brilliant on the ball, strong as an ox and faster than any centre back I remember us having.

I hope Patterson gets a chance too. I’m a Tavernier fan but when our play gets stale, a player like Patterson can bring a bit of life and energy to our game.

Good work out I suppose. I would really like to add another attacking midfielder though. We can’t rely on the same guys who ultimately fell short last season. I still believe Stewart should play a greater role though and I would love to see Murphy break through but I can only assume Gerrard isn’t going to give him the chance.

I am the unfortunately, and I’m not paying Premier £12 for a friendly. Rangers TV used to do audio too but I can’t see it on the website.

Can we watch it on Rangers tv?

Disappointed at this. Certainly one of our most promising youths. And although I don’t think he could contribute much this season, we don’t have many players like him in the senior squad.

I really hope the club and the fans actually give him a chance. On paper it is an ideal move but loan moves often don’t work out because the club and fans default to their own players whenever they hit a roadbump. I like Hastie, he definitely has an ability to score goals that is rare. Being good enough for Rangers is another question unfortunately. Middleton is similar.

Looks ok, nothing special.

I saw that. I find it hard to believe given his uninspiring record.

I'm pretty sure he is being primed to replace McGregor next season. In the meantime it makes sense for him to play every week in the league elsewhere. McGregor was about the same age when he broke into the team, around 23 I think.

Yeh I guess so. Allowing him to go to Livi on loan could help smooth things over if there is anything in the Dykes link too.

Says who? Not what I have heard.

Firth is there to make up the numbers in the training pretty much. He is not intended to ever play in a competitive match, at least not when the game is in the balance.
