This transfer window is really 'make or break' for PLG. If he doesn't get it right then I cant see a way back. He needs to make some astute signings (min 2) which add enough experience & depth to secure 2nd spot in the league. Forget the UEFA cup although it's a nice distraction. If he cant pinpoint what is going wrong, even with everyone telling him, then he should leave as there's no place at our club for such pig-headed nonsense.

Oh well. I truly hope Le Guen and Murray have an ace up their collective sleeves as Pressley represents the type of player we need right now and now he's joined 'them'. There aren't many of his type around (whether you like him or not), and even fewer of them are available at a price we can afford.

Can I throw a defensive midfielder in to the mix?

Their luck is bound to run out at some point. Hearts seem to be in a wee bit of form now that Ivanauskas has returned so hopefully they could be the side to turn them over...

I'd like to agree with that but cant. It's in turbulent times such as the last few months that you need your experienced campaigners to step up and be counted. Granted he's had an injury and it takes time with so many players trying to settle but J-Rod didn't do what you would expect i.e. stand up and be counted, lead by example etc etc. If a club wants him and we can get a few quid (I reckon a �£100k- �£200k would be realistic) then we should take it.

Can see J-Rod moving on. He's struggled to get a game ahead of less experienced players so the timing would be good if we can get a couple of hundred k for him

Wija72 aka Finbar Saunders (and his double entendres)

Does Martin & Bardsley count?

The papers are miffed because PLG gives them so little in terms of quotes, insight etc. When he's asked about Fergie and Boyd etc he just flatlines them with the 'I dont want to talk about that' type of attitude which just annoys lazy arsed journos even more that they would be normally and they then create stories out of nothing. I've lost count of the number of times that anyone from Rangers gets quoted one day and then re-quoted about 50 times over the course of the next fortnight. The reason? Well, as I say above - they've got nothing to go on. As I type this I'm beginning to wonder. Is this because PLG doesn't like people questioning his management or is this a deliberate ploy by the club to give the previously mentioned lazy arsed hacks absolutely nothing to go on because all they do is print tripe?

Good draw for Celtic. If they'd got PSV and gone out then they'd be gutted whereas a drubbing for Milan is no shame.

I dont care if he goes to Celtic. He'd only be a short term solution anyway - thats if he turns out to be a solution.

Sionko played wide left for the Czech's at the WC so why not for us? That would make room for Burke on the right...

Chesney's explanation after the game was laughable.... "Lenny has a fear of losing" What utter codswallop. Yes he's competitive. Yes he hates losing. Yes he doesn't like conceding goals. Yes he's a bad winner and a bad loser to boot.Yes he's a ginger arsehole. Yes he's a bigot and by the looks of it - a bully too.

Dont know what you mean Gizzo...

3-0 at halft time. Prso, Sionko and Ferguson - much improved performance!!! :D :D :

Lets get behind the boys tomorrow and show that we really are the people!

I think the Burke situation, like Maloney's, has been hyped by the press beyond belief. Yes Burke's playing the game to get the best deal he can but you can hardly blame him. He's come out in the press to say he wants to stay but footballer's rarely accept the first offer and he's no different. I fully expect Rangers to announce him signing a new contract at some point in the next few weeks.

I thought you had given a loan of it to Paul Le Guen, no?

Dont forget, they also have a manager who is able to make a telling contribution - as shown by the fact so many of his subs have come on and scored telling goals to win games. Motivation is the biggest different between Rangers and Celtic at the moment.

I thought our biggest problem was having composure in the final 3rd of the pitch. We lacked width and even though we played with 2 wide players, Novo and Prso were rarely looking for the ball in wide positions in an attempt to stretch their defence and create space. On the occasions we did, chances were created and no-one was there to take them.

No matter who, if anyone, comes in - we desperately need a motivational centre half in the Gough/Butcher mould. To be honest, I would take any of the players mentioned in this thread if we could get them.

Just heard the same thing. Bigger chance of him coming to Ibrox now.

Sounds like sour grapes to be honest.

Agreed, their hardly going to give it to the captain of the losing Champions League finalists and a losing World Cup final player.
