Rangers close to full strength

[RANGERRAB 3,307]

Good news - our squad is light enough as it is so we really need guys like Rossiter, Miller and Niko to play their part.

 

I think these 3 need replaced.

I think these 3 need replaced.

 

In the longer term, perhaps the latter two for sure but if we can get Rossiter fit he could prove really useful.

This is Rossiter's second season with us and he may have played perhaps half a dozen games? At some stage, serious questions will need to asked of his fitness or ability to avoid injuries (if we have not done so already). I would imagine that he is on a decent package and if the club Doctor and specialists come to the conclusion that he is made of glass, then we would be as well getting him off the payroll sooner rather than later and using those wages (plus those of Niko and Miller's) to get in two decent performers. I would guess that the three players mentioned would be earning 30k plus per week and if the rumours are true about Dorrans signing for 15k p.w., then that has to be the minimum level of player that we should be attempting to attract. I am sure that someone will correct me if I am wrong, but the contracts expire at the end of this season, for all three players? Rossiter may have an extra year?

 

It's a real shame for the boy, he has looked like a real talent, but in our current environment where every penny is a prisoner, we just cannot carry passengers.

in his defence, he is only 20 growing pains etc may be playing a part

 

but how long does he have to be out before the edge is totally removed from him?

 

he's looking at 6 months of reserve team football to prove his fitness @10K a week
