zelalem is class....not as accomplished as Vuckic mind you

 

Vuckic was better going forwards and as bad defensively. Different players though.

 

Zelalem may yet be a top player. Vuckic certainly never will be.

You've got to love forums!,how most posters think they are right about players/formations/tactics yet none will ever get the chance to manage professionally!.

I tend to stick with the professionals and know everything else is opinions!.

Good choice. It would be cool if people would debate certain stuff in relevant threads and not fill this about rumours and transfers with pages full of junk. Came here late at night and though I might find another rumour, but no ... just more loanee debate

I know what he is saying, I just happen to disagree with him.

 

You can disagree with him as much as you like, but it doesn't change that part of your reasoning just doesn't add up which is why you went round in circles. Just trying to help...

Josh Windass close to Rangers deal

 

RANGERS look set to seal a deal to sign Accrington Stanley striker Josh Windass next month.

 

As SunSport revealed two weeks ago, Ibrox boss Mark Warburton has targeted the 21-year-old goalscorer for a January swoop.

 

Windass son of former Aberdeen ace Dean, has made it clear to his English League Two club that he wants to leave.

 

And it’s now understood that Rangers are close to agreeing a deal ahead of the transfer window.

 

Windass has been watched by a number of top clubs south of the border, including Arsenal.

 

Stanley boss John Coleman has gone on record to say the striker, who has scored nine goals this season, will not be sold.

 

But Warburton and No2 Davie Weir are hopeful of agreeing a deal at the turn of the year.

BTW, unless they used him differently of late, Windass is a central or attacking midfielder, not a striker.

Meanwhile, Rangers boss Mark Warburton is setting up a raid on Accrington Stanley for Matt Crooks and Josh Windass.

 

Warburton heads the queue for Windass and now wants Crooks too.

 

The Scottish giants will offer around £500,000 for the pair.

 

... thinks The Sun (not the Scottish version, BTW).

Thanks for posting transfer rumours in the transfer rumours thread db.

I thought this was the " I don't understand the role Zelalem plays so I'll moan about him" thread ????

A bit more conjecture (if you'd ask me) from the ET ...

 

Rangers edge closer to signing Accrington Stanley duo

 

RANGERS targets Josh Windass and Matt Crooks will be allowed to leave Accrington Standley next month after their club were knocked out of the FA Cup.

 

The pair's manager, John Coleman, claimed last week that he did not have to sell any of his players during the transfer window.

 

Accrington sit fourth in League Two in England and Coleman was adamant that his squad would be kept together for a promotion push.

 

But their defeat on Saturday to Portsmouth in the FA Cup has changed things and it is now understood that with the chance of a bumper third round game against a Premier League team gone, the club will listen to offers.

 

Windass, 20, is the son of former Aberdeen player Dean and is viewed as one of the best players in the division. The 21-year-old Crooks, a defensive midfielder, has also been tracked by Mark Warburton who admitted that he has sent scouts to Accrington matches.

 

And while neither are the experienced player the Rangers manager has spoken about as his priority in the window, the pair do tick a lot of boxes.

 

It is believed a combined fee of around £500,000 would be enough to sign both Windass and Crooks.

 

Both players are out of contract in the summer and while Accrington would have been reluctant to cash in if Rangers or anyone else came calling, the FA Cup exit now means they will listen to offers,

 

Windass admitted he has been flattered with the interest and found it hard at first to block out the speculation.

 

He said: "It’s really nice to be linked to bigger clubs as it shows that people are appreciating what you’re doing on the pitch. However,it can have negative effects.

 

“You can take your mind off your game and spend more time listening to rumours and I think towards the end of the last transfer window I had a dip in form.

 

"Maybe I was thinking about that but I spoke to the gaffer and it all got wiped out of my head.”

 

Warburton was coy when asked about Windass, who has scored eleven times this season,

 

The Rangers boss said: "I haven't seen much of him. He's a very talented player I'm sure. I've met his dad on a few occasions, but nothing more than that."

 

Crooks came up through the ranks via Manchester United and Huddersfield Town and signed for Accrington last season at the end of a successful loan spell

 

Accrington boss Coleman will have to admit defeat if Rangers can put together a deal for his players.

 

Although he said: "No-one’s going in January. I could be setting myself up for the biggest egg on my face ever here if someone does go, but I believe what I’m doing is right so we’ll get on with it.

 

Rangers' match on Saturday at Raith Rovers fell foul of the weather which left many fans who had already set off for Fife unhappy,

 

The Stark's Park pitch passed an inspection at 9.30am, but a second inspection 90 minutes later deemed the pitch unplayable.
