RANGERRAB

Tyler Roberts is exactly the type of player we should be signing. Develope him & sell him on for profit.

Let me explain what I mean by progress. When the transfer window closes at the end of next month, I hope the likes of McCrorie, Morelos, Foderingham & Windass are still Rangers players. Young players we've developed who have the potential to move onto a bigger & better league than the SPFL. Unfortunately it wouldn't take massive transfer fees to get these players but it shows (to me anyway) we're heading in the right direction. Of course we will need more than these players, I don't dispute that but hopefully we'll soon see an end to signing players in their 30's who are past their best.

I don't agree with your view on DJ. I think he is still a young player who could develop into a top class player for us. I also think Windass & Foderingham are also assets we have got as well as McCrorie I do not share all the doom'n'gloom on here. We now have got young players whom we have developed & can sell on. Perhaps not as many as we'd like and not for as much in fees as we'd like but we are now slowly but surely moving in with the right direction. And at long last we're beginning to see some sort of scouting system & youth development structure being put into place. Whether it's as successful as we need it to be remains to be seen. Overall I think we are progressing but perhaps not as quickly as some would like

So where is the funding going to come from to get all these players to take us to the next level?

Merry Christmas to all Gernetters. All I want for Christmas is a Rangers manager who understands the importance of playing three in Central MF

The league is gone this season. All we have is the SC and to finish high enough in the league for a EL place. Should the board not be appointing a new manager & allow him to prepare for next season between now and the end of this season ?

Mulumbu would do a better job than some of those we've signed. At least he doesn't look past his best.

Mulumbu's CV is far superior to any of the players we signed who had a connection to MW & Pedro(except maybe Alves).

Or Paul Clement who's left Swansea. Who exactly are we looking for anyway? Are we waiting on Pep Guardiola leaving Man City or something?

Pedro shouldn't have been sacked without a replacement in place but he had too many embarrassing defeats and too many bad signings. For those two reasons I am reluctant to criticise the board for getting shot off him.

I don't wish to digress but do the Aberdeen directors actually support Aberdeen ? This was something the now defunct LEGGOLAND blog seemed to suggest few years ago.

I'm not sure he'd have made much difference

Maybe that's why Murty won't play them. If so these players need moved out next month. Then they need replaced. Let's start with Mulumbu fromKillie. He's only contracted til the end of season. Small fee should suffice.

How do you know Pedro wouldn't have dropped more points then Murty in those games?

Don't you mean Pedro's players ? My view is that some or all of them want to leave now he's gone.

Compare Pena(who cost us £2.2m) and never played in this country or speaks the language to Mulumbu who was playing for KIllie today. Mulumbu played for six seasons at WBA in the EPL and well suited to our game. Both are MF players. Which one looks the better or safer bet to do well in our league? Not rocket science is it ?

You don't see Alves, Pena, Herrera etc in training every day. My take on it is that they've downed tools since Pedro left & Murty is reluctant to select them & wants them out the door next month. Just my opinion

Can he appeal this decision ? Didn't think he could

They should be heavily fined for starters

Herrera and Pena aren't suited to our game. They're not very good as well. Might just agree with you on Cardoso over Bates but Cardoso is poor as well.

He might have been at one time. Not now. He'll be gone next month & hopefully a few others as well.

He's past his best. Why do we continually sign players in their thirties? We should be a team mostly with players 25 years old and under all of whom have a resaleable value

Alves, Pena and Herrera certainly aren't the answer that's for sure. The sooner they're gone the better.

Those players you mention( except Alves who's supposedly injured ) aren't getting a game for one simple reason.

I hope you're right and Alves, Pena & Herrera do go. It 's scary to think the money that was wasted during the summer on these players.
