The Winter 2021/22 Rangers Transfer Thread - Aaron Ramsey loan deal confirmed

[DMAA 3,603]

Any talk of a bosman for McAtee is a non-starter. These clubs always tie players like that down.

Nothing in that video excites me much running into tackle and not beating man in those clips looks no better than Scott Wright IMO.

Quality of defenders may well differ.....

I've been sleeping in this window.

 

It has just occurred to me: we've signed Souttar, Sands and Diallo, with McAtee potentially to follow. 

 

Coming into this window we were saying, 'we're short at the back, we need a RW and another creative option in midfield'. 

 

Sands solves the issue at the back, with Souttar possibly a longer-term 'replacement' for Goldson, which are both good moves. We filled the RW issue yesterday, with a good prospect in Diallo; a fast, tricky winger. We've now got three days to maybe add a creative option in midfield. 

 

And, we've spent bugger-all! 

 

That's pretty solid business.

Even if Man City slip-up, there, he's still not going to come to us.

It's very solid business and, taken on the back of a seamless replacement of Gerrard and his staff, is hugely reassuring. After the events of the last ten years, it's understandable that some still feel anxious but surely there's ample evidence that we really are well on the mend as a club. If people really feel they can't live without something to fret about, I'd recommend focussing on the consequences of losing the likes of Ross Wilson, James Bisgrove, Andrew Dickson, etc

There's an old saying, you only get what you pay for and I may be wrong but good players don't go for nothing just as the parent club seldom lends out the best in their stable

Hearts have confirmed today that Halkett is out for 2 months. This would appear to put a stop on us getting Soutar in before deadline?

Rangers spend a fortune:

 

He isn't worth it.

We can't afford that.

 

Rangers spend within their means:

 

This is rubbish.

We need to spend big to win.
