I like Anita. Came through the Ajax set-up, so is technically excellent and can play several positions (Full-back and DM). However, he is similar to Zelalem (good technically but not too physical). I'm a big fan but maybe not physical enough for a defensive role, and perhaps too expensive for a squad role.

Has Dave King been shagging Ashely's wife or something.

Rangers make move to sign Aberdeen midfielder Kenny McLean

 

Exclusive by Christopher Jack

 

RANGERS have made their move to sign Aberdeen midfielder Kenny McLean.*

 

The 25-year-old has become an integral part of the Dons side following his switch from St Mirren but is now entering the final twelve months of his contract at Pittoodrie.*

 

Rangers have already signed Ryan Jack from Aberdeen this summer and SportTimes understands they have now stepped up their interest in McLean by tabling a bid.

*

It is likely to take a seven figure fee for the Dons board to consider any approach for one of their key players.*

 

Pedro Caixinha has made eight signings so far this summer as he bolsters his squad for Rangers' return to the Europa League and the new Premiership campaign.*

 

And the Light Blues now hope to do a deal to bring McLean to Glasgow as the rebuilding job continues at Ibrox.*

The evening times are usually okay when it comes to us but can't believe for a second we would be stupid enough to spend 7 figures on a player of that low a caliber.

Might be worth a million just to give them another slap after taking Jack and remind them of their proper place in the scheme of things

would rather we beat them on the park tbh. McLean isn't even remotely close to good enough. He's a 25 year old journeyman who's level is bit part Scottish clubs. Sinking from Dorrans to this guy in my mind really changes the whole window for me. That's how bad I rate him. Jack was bad enough but I thought maybe it was the chance of stealing Aberdeens captain for zero that made it worthwhile but filling our midfield of absolute nobodies is a completely different thing. Jack and McLean is just holt and Halliday but worse.

 

Going from seeing us have three top notch signings to two doesn't on the face of it seem that bad but when you look at the squad without that third top signing it's poor. It's such an important position. Very thin lines obviously but got to say I am completely gutted at the drop in level and am adamantly hoping it's not true . What a let down. McLean in centre mid for Rangers fuck me that's piss poor. Had hoped to have left this kind of singing behind us after all that's happened the last few weeks. That's before we even consider the fact we are wastin close to a million pound on him.
