Devil's advocaat

Still quoting his past stats then. Cool, let's keep him then. Yes, he's been our top scorer against them, but its not been good enough. Are you happy with what we've won in those past 2 seasons?.

I'm not questioning his contribution, merely saying its time to move on.

Dessers was the only one who got the game time to score 20, tell me someone else that did?. He's a shite finisher, if you like him then that's cool, I quite like him too, he keeps coming back and scoring the odd goal, but he's still a shite finisher, that doesn't  change.

This is pointless, I'm out.

Not lose much keeping him for this season

I'm not necessarily talking financially. He has too many mistakes against the reptiles for me, they'll target him now that Borna has gone, and they'll get goals from it.

Aye, and Dessers might score 30 next season, but he should have had 40 last season.

Exactly.  We should have learned our lessons by now.

 

As much as I can't stand him, Alex Ferguson was a master of getting rid of players at just the right time.  We could do with more of that harshness and less of the cloying sentiment.

Spot on, Gonzo.

There's a time to get rid, like we should have done with Alfie and Kent. Or do we just keep everyone, cos they used to have great numbers?.

It's a balance, yes the dead wood also has to go, but it's selling them that's the difficult bit.

Damning.

Thankfully, that's not my job, I'm just a fan, same as yourself.

We can quote Tavs numbers all day long, and yes, they're great, he's been a fantastic buy for us. But his time has gone, he never really was a 'winner' tbh.

Dessers just isn't good enough. As others have said I wouldn't really mind him being a squad player, an option, but the days of us having £5M squad players have gone.

Robbie McCrorie for the first 😬🤣

I'm positive about our current playing staff, it's early yet but we've signed a lot of potential, just need a few more experienced players and we'll be in a decent position. I'm sure we'll see some of the dead wood moved on, nothing much happens with this til late on in the window every year. We also have a manager who has earned the right to build a squad and a playing style, that I'm sure will bring success. We need to trust in someone, and get into a position where we're strengthening every year by adding 2 or 3, not having a clearout every time.

In terms of the stadium delays, it's not great, but show me any big infrastructure project that's on time. It doesn't happen, and it's nothing to do with low quality steel, the supply chain for materials is an absolute nightmare these days, there's a huge shortage of good project Engineers and Managers too. The situations lies firmly at the feet of previous boards, who let the stadium maintenance drift.

I'm an optimist, partly by choice, as it's a nicer world to live in. Yes it means I get disappointed a lot more than a pessimist, but I bounce back quickly.

Mon the Rangers.

Compo won't like that, this boy should be doing his talking on the park!. 🤫😉

Been to Berlin a few times, and agree, East is far more interesting. First time I went was a drinking weekend, stayed in a hostel boat on the Spree, which was superb. There was a chuck wagon close by that did excellent curry wurst, which I saw in the best street food in Germany guide in Observer food monthly a while later as best currywurst in Germany!.

Went back a couple of times with the wife, tbh it's wasted as a drinking destination (as most places are) and I enjoyed it far more seeing the many, many interesting places.

Enjoy Gonzo.

How many first team games will Robbie Fraser play next season do you think?

Depends if Hefty is shite or no!

Lewis Ferguson has played a big part in Bologna getting into the Champions League. 

 

Aye, absolutely, but my point was that he never blew his way into a first team at 16 and stayed there. If anything, it shows our coaching up in this country that he has to go to Italy to be the player he is.

I'm of the opinion that it's not a Rangers problem, it's a national problem. Who was the last player any club here started playing at 16 or 17 who actually went on to have the career that the early promise suggested?.

Gilmour had the odd flash of first team football, but never was a first team pick, I can't actually recall anyone else.

An extreme example, granted, but Jamal at 16 has 30 odd caps for his country,  and has looked on pf the very best at the euros. He's not alone, Spain have had a few in recent years.

Lowry is basically a classic, oft repeated example of a young, talented player who just disappears up his own balloon knot.

Christie played 50 odd league games for ICT before he went to tenko, but yes, your point stands

Ibrox chat is about as reliable a source as Frank McAvennie.

I've said before, he's not for me, but I'm sure he'd be decent for a couple of seasons, As long as he's not on stupid money.

They don't manufacture steel, merely a distributor. I'd be amazed if their product isn't asian manufactured.

Why are we importing materials from Asia they will be like everything else from that part of the world crap second rate materials if it’s metal then there’s a steel stockholders just along the road Asia for materials my arse sounds like a cowboy project.

Like it or not, Asia is the factory of the rest of the world now. We in the UK do not produce enough steel, that's a fact. There's been a huge excess worldwide demand for metals since covid, and before. If you want to use steel not produced outwith the UK, Ibrox will be out of action for wayyyyy longer, and we'd have no money left for players. 

Looks a big strong lad, a bit like a big Darcheville. Looks like he'll no take any shite.
