I would hate to see Aribo and Bassey go. Simply because they would be very hard for us to replace. Kamara less so, even Morelos we could replicate.

Far to little in these days of daft money

Not sure how we replicate Morelos.

I should have said 'replace'.

Morelos and indeed kent are cracking players but they do not score enough goals to be irreplaceable. 

 

There are other sides to the game of course and each has real talents in those.

The one we might see as much money as "we" want will most likely be Bassey. Other fees will probably disappoint us - but at the end of the day, you will only get as much money as people are willing to spend.

[the gunslinger 3,366]

Our issue is probably wages. 

 

we will have a budget for outgoings and we must be right at it given the maturity of the squad.

We have known for some time we’ve got key players about to enter the final year of their contracts. If we sell them we must hope we have indentified replacements for them

When it comes off, they’re geniuses. When it doesn’t, they’re bloody useless. But I suppose the truth is that clubs are never fully in charge of who signs and who doesn’t. Wilson can identify all the targets in the world but bringing them to Ibrox is the challenge.

The next few weeks are very big in terms of the financial playing field between us and them.

 

We've been playing catch-up in recent years and have gradually eaten in to the gap. The end of last season saw an opportunity to finally bridge it and even edge in front. However, we lost the league and they took the direct entry to CLGS. We did wonderfully well to get to the EL Final but couldn't win it and reap the rewards on offer.

 

- We still have a chance of making the CLGS 

- We need to have our player trading model produce significant money and not let the value we have created walk out the door for nothing.

 

Then of course.... we need to be successful in bringing in the right players. Never an easy task but one where you can mitigate the effect of the financial gap, if successful. Their recruitment last summer was what led to them winning the title. We need to get it right to give ourselves a chance this upcoming season and we probably need to sell big before we can get the necessary quality to come to Ibrox.

 

Why is this so important ?

If our player trading model doesn't bear significant fruit, we don't make CLGS in August, nor win title 22/23....

The danger is getting left behind financially and then, on the park for the foreseeable.

 

We need to have a good couple of months on various levels.

Need to sell them first. This is how Wilson will earn his corn. Not by scouting players as some people think is his role.

That is his role.

 

Well--not scouting directly - he's got scouts for that - but he is in charge of recruitment.
