When you think about it two of them are crocked (Roofe, Danilo) 2 of them are utter mince (Dessers, Lammers) one is a complete unknown (Silva) so while I agree on paper we look well stocked I think the reality is we still need one.

Agree, Hagi made a big fuss about leaving Rangers as he wanted to play. He went to Alaves and has not played..

One of the greats. I hope the phrase 'he thinks he is Beckenbauer' lives on forever in football.

We badly need a striker. We've obviously been linked with Shankland and Danny Ings(loan). I'm not fussed if we get one or the other, but we definetley need someone of that ilk. We wont be in a title race without one.

Hagi barely playing for a relegation fodder team in Spain strongly makes me question his ability to come back and play for us. I know football isnt an exact science and things dont work like that, but he has rarely played for them.

Gerhardt going to them apparently

We have plenty in our squad already, obviously all players get injured but some more that others. Tav and Goldson are the outliers and (*touch wood*) are made of stern stuff. But even the likes of Lundstram, Sima seem to be fit and available for most games. Cantwell has had a couple of knocks but is largely available. Its about balance, all teams have players who miss games through injury. But we seem to have more than most so needs addressing, and if Ridvan has value elsewhere then it makes sense to move him on.

Both would be very welcome in my opinion.

Chris Jack says on the Rangers Review this morning Ridvan close to a move out the door. If we can get our money back that would be great. He just has never been able to stay fit enough to play for us. We need players who can play 2 games a week for a season not the likes of Ridvan.

Knowing our luck with injuries he'll be Seb Rozenthal mk 2. We really need more firepower up front and need to forget about Danilo sadly. Until such a time he can come ack and demonstrate he can play to a similar level as before.

I'd pay that 6 million for Sima tbh

They have a year option on him supposedly

Brighton want 6 million supposedly. Not happening for us.

So every time they have done it it’s fine, every time they made comment about it at an agm it’s fine. When they let a wee fat oddball make a documentary about at thier stadium featuring ex players and a club ambassador it was fine?

The red card for St Johnstone a few weeks back and a similar incident in our first ever VAR game v Livi at home (I think) is a great small scale example of how VAR has mitigated bad refereeing decisions for us. I believe against the plankton the refs have an unconscious bias and allow for a certain level of leniency instead of calling it how they see it. VAR is a net gain for us. But it must be used correctly, honestly and the process around its use must be auditable and transparent.

The Ridvan is away somewhere rumours gathering momentum. He has the makings of a decent player but is injured far too much for me so punt him pls.

No to McKenna thank you.

Two great movies, hope we are in with a shout of signing Thomas Anderson he's good in the air

Verona are willing to sell Josh Doig for a cut price as they are skint but they are interested in Yilmaz. Sounds iffy to me.

Terrible decision and never a red no matter how many times you watch it.

Obviously there needs to be an auditable transparent process that is clear for everyone. The issue on Saturday was not VAR. The issue was with Collum making a decision that was clearly incorrect and the lack of transparency around how Collum came to this decision and why Walsh was not given an opportunity to re-review. The audio and decision making transparency where ever VAR is would probably be far more 'honest' if an official from each club was present to observe all decision making process. They would'nt be able to intervene or communicate with the VAR officials. Just observe and audit the process. A bit like in the movies where a police suspect is being interrogated and there are detectives standing behind a pane of glass observing. Its the secrecy that's the issue for me with this. Collum didnt think it was a handball, ok I can accept that, he is a terrible ref. What I cant accept is that we dont know or cannot prove it wasnt checked by someone else and why the possible offside was even mentioned nearly 40 minutes later as a skin saving exercise because we all know the possible offside its irrelevant.

I think it needs to be simplified and have the 3 review rule like in tennis. Forget about these offside by a fingernail things over examining every goal to see if someone farted during the build up. Only review incidents after a manager or captain request - will reduce the amount of VAR stoppages. The hand ball and offside rules need to be changed in general. Offside should go to daylight between attacker and defender before being offside and handball should be intentional only. It wont be perfect and there will still be mistakes but it would hopefully be less. Also its a bit stupid implementing VAR but not goal line decision technology.

Supposedly a right winger that plays left back and left wing (seriously). Clear as mud right?
