The Winter 2018/19 - Transfer Window Rumours and Deals - Thread
buster. replied to der Berliner's topic in Rangers Chat
If he's available and willing for 2M, great but in todays marketplace, I think Liverpool will be able to get a significantly higher fee. Young, effective and tactically discipined wingers don't grow on trees. For all Ejaria didn't work out, Kent has been a stand-out success and badly missed when injured. -
If you charted performance levels it would make for an interesting graph. The huge spike in performance level for the 29th was as welcome as it was unexpected all things considered (eg.injuries, fatigue, etc) Sun 11/11/18 PRE Rangers 7 - 1 Motherwell View events More info Sat 24/11/18 PRE Rangers 3 - 0 Livingston View events More info Sun 02/12/18 PRE Hearts 1 - 2 Rangers View events More info Wed 05/12/18 PRE Rangers 0 - 1 Aberdeen View events More info Sun 09/12/18 PRE Dundee 1 - 1 Rangers View events More info Sun 16/12/18 PRE Rangers 1 - 0 Hamilton Acade… View events More info Wed 19/12/18 PRE Hibernian 0 - 0 Rangers More info Sun 23/12/18 PRE St. Johnstone 1 - 2 Rangers View events More info Wed 26/12/18 PRE Rangers 1 - 1 Hibernian View events More info Sat 29/12/18 PRE Rangers 1 - 0 Celtic

Would Ryan Kent be within our budget ? Good young player with 3 years left at Liverpool sounds out of our financial reach unless you want to spend most of the transfer kitty on one player. Get him on another loan -
- Watching the clips is entertaining and in a way very satisfying to see us bullying them - PQ are always desperate to make Morelos the centre of this type of analysis - Chances are that the CO will act - We really could do with Morelos available for a tough set of fixtures post winter break - His 'discipline' might well end up costing us again because he sort of 'kicked the erse' out of it !! - Hopefully any ban would include the Cowdenbeath cup-tie and mitigate potential damage - I'd prefer Broon wasn't banned tbh, he has been costing them points this season.

On paper, It's a tough run up until the split but there will be no European distractions, only the Scottish Cup in that we'll have a SC fixture on the second w/e of Feb (due respect to the Blue Brazil ).

We'll need to be at our best when the league resumes and we'll know fairly quickly if yesterdays win gives the players more belief and confidence. After the Cup match in Fife, three of our first four SPFL games are away at Kilmarnock, Livingston and Aberdeen.

Good to hear. I think he can be an important part of our team. An old school type, hard, determined, with ability and leads by example, Captain material for the future. I'd hope that Greg Docherty has improved with first team football at Shrewsbury and can also come back at some point to feature prominently. Our own young, committed players coming through would lessen the need for so many loans* and we get the potential financial benefit further down the road, if they improve and move on. * Over a season, you are always likely to get more committed effort out of a McCrorie and Docherty than you will from a Coulibaly and Ejaria. -

Too busy celebrating to have thought about it Now that I get in....... 'Correct number of Rangers Goals':..... Get my point added @Rousseau -
'What if's' are worth nothing but there are solid reasons as to why we drop points and more importantly, why they continue to happen too many times for it to be down to X or Y excuse. Bigger picture Things aren't that bad, if you employ realism regards timescales/budgets/starting points, etc.

They are still a lot stronger than we are and wrt the title, it'll nearly always come down to squad depth (and quality). It's not rocket science, we need quality (and more depth) but that tends to cost a lot of money and/or requires time to develop.
-
This season, I think it's a case of needing Celtic to lose the league (relative implosion) rather than us being able to reach the level of consistency required to win it if they don't implode.

Football boils down to finding ways to win matches and/or finding ways not to lose matches. There is a great deal more involved than just formations. Teams that tend to win matches consistently enough to win league championships tend to have a solid base from which to work. That base is an infrastructure, also a financial and managerial ability to put together a squad with enough depth and quality from which to take on a season (lack of depth/quality is what is very apparent this month). It's as plain as the nose on your face that we haven't yet got that base. Neither is it really a secret because we are rebuilding and looking to improve much of the club. #Patience&Realism If we don't employ some patience, then my guess is we'll continually struggle to get to where want to go up until the point of severe financial problems. -

Shinnie, on a Bosman would be good business (28th birthday next August) We need a better depth of squad. -

Liverpool seem to be able to defend now. Makes a long winning run a lot more likely. Goals lost in their last eight league games.... 00010100 It's hard to believe that a player with Queens Park when we played them going through the leagues, is now highly rated at an elite level. Same goes for Van Dyyjk....you have half of the best defence in the EPL made up of ex SPL players.

Bring in time travel and take Gerrard and McAllister back 15 years then we've got a shout. -

Agreed TB ! Add our injury situation to expectation levels and you'll probably find that there are a few of our players who would rather Saturdays game be played in Azerbaijan. -

The ball that was pinged accross to their wide player was good, it was controlled and delivered quickly with quality into an area that was very difficult to defend against a player attacking the ball. From their POV, it was a well worked goal and from ours, the equaliser seemed to be coming as we defended deeper (clearance that led to goal only reached 30m or so from goal line). IMO the 'clearance' was the main reason if looking to apportion blame but really it was more a bit of quality from Hibs POV. -
That's not going to happen in the real world, nor should it. Yes, any negotiated deal should come at a 'price' for PQ but we aren't in such a strong position to expect all our wishes granted. IMO we need to take any reasonable opportunity to normalise relations and build from there. The club need to reduce the number of fronts we are fighting on.

Almost immediate and constant expectation levels are next to impossible for anyone to deal with, especially players. We are a Big club but without Big players and the Big expectations are fine but should come with a realistic timetable. We have to be careful or we could fall into severe financial bother within a few years. -

SG&Co need a seasons experience and 3 transfer windows before I'd expect a team to challenge for the title. I reckon we'll finish second over the 38 games.
