I've highlighted a bit in bold. We may have signed 7 players but does anyone else agree with me that we have only really signed 3 potential first teamers? Obviously the 3 im talking about are Darcheville, Cuellar and Beasley, but the rest are going to be squad players. Now there isnt anything wrong with this as we need fine back up and good numbers but I still think we are crying out for at least 2 more players who will go straight into the first team. Maybe Gow will have a bit more to play as he is a vertisle player who can play in behind the strikers and I have a good feeling about him. But if we arent buying guys who are first pick then we arent improving IMO and we cant go into another season of being average after picking up no silverware in the last 2 seasons. Im not having a dig at Smith's buys here Im just saying in the up coming weeks we still need to buy 2 players who can make a difference.

Great crowd BTW, it looks more than the 30,000 counted. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fHnymOMP8u4&NR=1

Sounds like we should be signing Laudrup up for a year. He could probably do a job for us coming off the bench at games. No Gazza on show!!
-
Yeah totally agree Pete, he practically tackles Hemdani for the ball in our own half. Id like to see Ferguson barely cross into his own half and try to be more attacking but the more a player matures he tends to go towards his own box. Its either that he just sits infront of the back 4 and we do let Buffel try and come good.
-
The talent in that team was scary. Would id do for some of the players shown to be back: Albertz, De Boer, Gio, Mols, Numan, Ferguson, Tugay, Klos etc. I actually forgot De Boer played in the same team as them, I thought he came just at same time as Caniggia and Nerlinger just as DA sold off our great midfield.
-
Reading this, Im just realising Whittaker is a right back and not right midfield. Thats worse if we use 1.8 million for a position where we have a player on the top of his game - Hutton. It may make Hutton determined to keep his place but we should be putting that money into another position and taking he likes of Danny Mills on a free contract for RB cover.
-
If Boyd was worth 3 million plus then we should bite the hand off anyone who would make an offer. If he gets fitter and loses a pound or 8 then id be happy with him as he would be more mobile to give more to the team.
-
Jee Whizz! I wanted a new keeper but not him, he is a nightmare.
-
As someone said not long ago, we'd be better of with Roy Walker (Here's another cataphrase). West Ham did the right thing in getting rid of him, but only to replace him with Richard Wright who is a keeper imposter
-
But as Ive said on many occassions the standard of player in Scotland has dropped dramatically in the last 2 decades. We signed Goram in 1991. Also the other point ive said on many occassions is its ok taking 1 or 2 of the better SPL players but not fill a team with them. This isnt a personal attack on Whittaker as I dont know much about him but I just dont see Rangers progressing with a team including Naismith, Boyd, Whittaker, Thomson, Gow, Broadfoot, Murray etc. It should be us breeding better youngsters with Murray Park.
-
1.8 million Id rather go for someone out of the SPL. Players like this wont improve us. We should have a better set of players than Hibs. If a Hibs player is coming to us and getting in the first team than says we are average.
-
Good signing this IMO. A young highly rated centre half. If Webster comes good then we could have a good partnership on the making. BTW, how do you pronouce his name? Is it Kewlar? or is it Kooler?
-
No probs thats 2 pints you owe me
-
Your right Sebo doesnt deserve ANOTHER chance, he deserves a first chance
-
Nope, I cant see where I mentioned that. I said maybe keep Sionko for the right until we get a replacement
-
Holy shit, i never knew they were back already. So Sionko, Buffel and Sebo are all training. Im pretty pleased they are stil there, i think they all deserve another chance but in Sebo's case he deserves his first chance . We are short on the right so its best keeping Sionko there until we get a replacement.
-
When does the team report back for pre-season training? It cant be far off as the league starts 4 weeks tomorrow. IIRC we are going to Germany for 3 games then play Ajax and Chelsea at Ibrox in that time. Then the CL qualifying games cant be far off aswell. But with everything just round the corner we must get 2 new first team players in to settle. I dont like the delaying of things at the moment as players have the incentive of CL football if we get them before the qualifiers, but should the diasterous thing happen of not making it through the qualifiers then none of our targets will want to come this summer. We have good numbers at the back but nothing steady for a long term partnership as Weir and Ugo are a combined age of 71 and Webster is still only on loan so Cuellar would be a huge boost.
-
Walter must be getting pretty peed off with the low bids. Surely he must have been told what his budget was and then he identified his targets but the club cant match them. I hope we get Cuellar, id rather put the Naismith money into this and then drop that interest and turn our attentions to a right sided player or an attacking midfielder.

And O Shea

What are you smoking?
-
Pretty upsetting if he goes as he is awesome, i thought at 23 he could stay with west ham for another season. But he deserves a team like man utd and they are going to be scary next year, i can see them doing a clean sweep.
-
I think he was maybe trying too hard at times when he was losing control and he desperate to show what he can do. In previous clips ive seen of him his control was much better.
-
I wid! But just looking at Sebo, if he worked in a baker he wouldnt get near a burd. Im telling you folks, Sebo is going to come good for us but I wont say I told you so!
-
I thought he was going to America, did they knock him back also?
-
The 3 man panel found Sheff Utd a bunch of hammicks and thought Neil Warnock was a total cheese so they go down and the Happy Hammers stay up Warnock - :moon:
