Ince, Kanchelskis, Beckham, van Nistelrooij, Stam, etc etc. sold them for top dollar but after he got the best from them. Souness at us was also excellent at player trading btw. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
der Berliner 4,348 Posted yesterday at 20:00 Author Share Posted yesterday at 20:00 Rangers could be set to miss out on striker target Dor Turgeman due to rising conflict in the Middle East, according to reports. Turgeman has been on the radar at Ibrox and some reports even suggested a deal to bring him from Maccabi Tel Aviv could be close. Sport 5 report that Maccabi are now thinking it may be unwise to sell on key players as they will find it tough to attract replacements from overseas. The report suggests the striker "certainly" won't be sold prior to the Champions League qualifiers against Cypriots Pafos next month. And they may also decide to significantly up the asking price for any of their players who are attracting interest, to make selling up more palatable. https://www.glasgowtimes.co.uk/sport/25257272.rangers-dor-turgemen-deal-doubt-middle-east-conflict/ Maybe the Tel Aviv high-ups messed up our transfer plans as well. Speaking of which, how about keeping this thread on topic? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Student 17 Posted yesterday at 20:13 Share Posted yesterday at 20:13 Hopefully Raskin extends and we keep him this coming season. That's good strategy. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You said it yourself, sign the right players. You want to install a philosophy? Sign players that suit that, don't try and shoehorn. Walter Smith, Alex Ferguson, Jose Mourinho have all said at one point or another philosophy is essentially bollox. You have to build a team in that image, not sign players and try to impose that image on them. You just keep agreeing with my point, yet use the tone of someone that disagrees, angrily. I think you just don't like the 'buzzwords', which is fair enough. I don't mind either way - it's the same thing. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said style, you said the buzzwords of culture and philosophy No. Style is another word for philosophy. Club culture, as I've pointed out several times, is different. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

L72 564 Posted yesterday at 20:19 Share Posted yesterday at 20:19 Just now, Rousseau said: I might end up slitting my own wrists... Because of the lack of transfers, or because we don't like hipster jargon and overcomplicating football? 🤓 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonzo79 15,665 Posted yesterday at 20:20 Share Posted yesterday at 20:20 Just now, Rousseau said: I might end up slitting my own wrists... I think a lot of us were hoping for a big (general) upturn after the takeover announcement but it hasn't materialised. Too early to get the razorblades though. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rousseau 12,274 Posted yesterday at 20:24 Share Posted yesterday at 20:24 Cavanaugh (sp?), Jean-Luc and Thelwell have used the term 'culture', in reference to the need to change the culture of failure. Don't we all agree? Most have been saying it for ages, e.g. Tavernier. I don't see the issue, other than an unusual word. It appears to some sort of reverse snobbery. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
