Well, you wanted more attacking football! Not like you to be cynical, Pete.

are we going to get a creative midfielder?
alexscottislegend replied to bmck's topic in Rangers Chat
Yes, Steven Whittaker. Was originally signed seemingly as a wide right midfielder, but played for Hibs mostly at RB. And he's not really had a run for us at RB yet. -
What about Rafael Scheidt of C****c? What a half-back line that would be - Arzo, Shittu and Shite.

Think I can see some Rangers videos. Too much watching 5-4-1 could make you go blind as well.

If you can read that there's no porn in that bookcase from this distance then there's nothing wrong with your eyesight! So it doesn't make you go blind after all!
-
He is exactly the sort of player we're looking for now, in fact.

Could we really? Thought he was Barca bound. Or are you just being flippant? -

This Shittu rumour just won't go away. I'm distinctly underwhelmed. What do we want him for when Webster's back in full training and Weir has re-signed? Oh no - he's not being lined up to replace Carlos is he? Please God, no... -

Don't want to get too heavily into conspiracy theories but after the 9/11 fire they apparently found - among all the charred remains - an immaculate passport of the pilot? -

Everybody is right about the flair player, but please, please tell me WHO is available whom we could (a) afford and (b) would come to us? Even if we save the �£4m Davis cash can anyone give me names? Answers on a postcard please... -
Blackburn Rovers in �£3m bid to nick Steven Davis from Rangers
alexscottislegend replied to pete's topic in Rangers Chat
Seems our best option is to stick Beasley on the right, BF and Thomson in MF, maybe Lafferty on the left and wait until someone suitable for CM/RW is available -
If that's truly the case, then it's really depressing. A sign of hope is the Lafferty signing, plus there have been strong intimations that young Fleck will get his chance.

^ You yourself have mentioned Herenveen as a role model for us and there's no doubt for me this is the way forward for RFC. It's either about finding promising young talent and selling them on when the time is right, or we have to be content with 30+ signings looking for a last payday - and I for one don't want see Ibrox become an elephant's graveyard. Disagree about Weir and Dailly though - they're just there as squad players. Don't see why Aaron Ramsey is outwith our reach though - we could probably guarantee him first team football which is something he might not see at Arsenal for years. Walcott flits in and out and his club still get linked with big name players.

Agree, it is a strange one. If SS was back to anything like the form he showed pre-injury, then with him and Papac we'd be sorted at LB.Hate to say this, but it's beginning to sound like WS has his favourites regardless of ability and if you displease him, you're out in the cold. Look at Gow and Buffel for further evidence. And if you say Gow and Buffel were out because of their lack of ability, then no one can say that about Smith.
-
Fulham want �£4m. If we can't offload Cousin I'm not sure we'll go the extra mile for him TBH. And if we don't, who else does WS have lined up for a creative midfielder?
-
Aargh! I meant 'schoolboy'

Is that 'schholboy' - or someone who wears a special kind of footwear?:devil:

Just realised, never actually introduced myself - or been introduced, though been here a few months. Domiciled in deepest England. Explanation of my user name: Alex Scott was the first Rangers player I ever saw. Much under-rated. Speed merchant. That gives my age away, too.Was about 7 at the time.

It's not an 'either/or' for me with Lafferty/Emnes (and maybe Emnes isn't the ultimate answer anyway); it's more that the right side of our attacking midfield looks mighty threadbare at the moment, and I've been racking my brains to see who could possibly plug that gap. Just happens that Emnes' name came up because of the 'Boro link. A Lafferty-type on the right would probably be ideal!
-
[ Personally I think it is a win-win situation. Especially if you consider that I think it was PLG who signed him on a pre-contract?

See what I mean? We COULD have had him if we had shown just a smidgeon of ambition.

That link doesn't work for me. tried it twice.

[quote name=Gribz Maloney would be a good signing but he is more of a left sided player is he not? We have them in abundance for a change, although Id take Maloney over Adam anyday.[/quote] See, this is what puzzles me. We have so many left-footers at Ibrox now (not a sectarian comment) that I reckon when the plane takes off for the CL qualifier, it'll be tilting to the left. Beasley, Adam,Thomson, Fleck,McCulloch (right-footed but plays on left),Lafferty,Naismith(mostly) - and I'm sure I've missed somebody obvious out. While on the right...Novo who's not really a winger and (ahem) Burke, who once promised to be Willie Henderson but is now more like Martin Henderson (who? Exactly.) Davis could play there, but we all know he's more comfortable in CM. The only other option is I believe Beasley,who could cut in on his left foot. But after that I'm struggling.

Thanks. Knew it couldn't be Billy J. Kramer.
