Seems to be the case. We wouldn't have got Cummings from Hibs for 600k!

I think we're guaranteed to share it with some other team. Barcelona (not that Barca!) and Nacional can still get 6 points too.

The names and sheer quantity coming in...

I'm not arguing with that -- I agree. I'm stating it happens from both sides of the political spectrum, on many different threads.

Rangers in the Transfer Window... #Admin2

Goes both ways, though; doesn't it.

Yes, Liverpool are always strong against teams that play against them; it's the lesser teams that sit in where they struggle.

Now that you mention it, I do recall some of those extra-curricular activities making their way onto Twitter... Ah well... it's looks like he's now our t*t!

That Sun article is based on the above tweet! Useless.

I always thought he was a bit of a t*t, but I think that came from his former team colours.

Perhaps Windass did play off Morelos slightly, but to me it was still two up-top. Both switched in the role they played: one would play centrally, with one drifting a tad. It was fluid, I'll grant you, but I think it was a twin strike-force. To be honest, I don't think anyone plays with a old-fashioned twin strike force anymore. Even the great AC Milan side had Shevshenko and Inzaghi playing off one-another in their 4-3-1-2. Perhaps it's just semantics? It would be even more of a twin strike force with Cummings; Windass does have a natural tendency to drift.

I feel faint...

Murty introduced the 4-4-2 (diamond), so I see no reason why he'd suddenly ditch it; it suits us well, considering the number of midfielders we have. I agree about Martin. (I was only speculating about the 3-at -the-back; it is an option, if not perhaps very likely.) He would be an underwhelming signing, but as I said elsewhere, he should be good enough for this league -- even if he has been poor for Scotland.

Yes, I agree. I think he's young enough to have time to improve upon those things. The former will help the latter!

I agree with you: Morelos is probably better, and in a 4-2-3-1, Cummings would make way. (Good option of the bench, though!) I was thinking with regards to the 4-4-2 (diamond), where a twin strike-force of Cummings and Morelos sounds rather potent. That is assuming we continue to play that formation on occasion, which I think we will with more central midfielders being signed. Also, if we're going for another CB, then a 3 at the back would allow for a 2 up front too. At the very least, we'd have 2 superb forwards; something we've not had in a good while.

I think Cummings would be a good signing: he improves the first-team instantly, but also has that potential. Docherty I'm also happy with, but I don't think he quite becomes a first-team player -- perhaps just improves squad depth, which is necessary --; however, he also has that potential. TheSPFLRadar rates him highly, especially for a player in a lower-league team. It'll be interesting to see if he can step up.

Great attitude indeed. I think he's young enough to be given more time. I think he's OK technically, but he needs to be better with the physicality, and the 1-on-1's.

We've got the quantity, but perhaps not the quality.

Touche. I will trust Murty in this regard. I'm underwhelmed, but I do think he should be solid enough for this league, considering the level at which he's played (PL for several years, and the CH, which is not easy).

I'm always looking at players from a universal perspective: are they actually good players in the grand scheme of things, but perhaps we just need players -- as JohnMc has said -- that can do well now, in the Scottish game. I've not watched Martin at all really -- not even Scotland games -- but surely he should be strolling this league, considering the level he's played at? I think Alves strolls it, without being spectacular: wins every aerial duel, clears his lines, can pass into the final third accurately etc. Underwhelming, but maybe it's what we need?

I find this is an appropriate response for most underwhelming signings:
