buba3d 0 Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 i feel there's some dodgy stuff going on in the english game, however fifa and uefa are turning a blind eye. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ascender 352 Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 Apparently we're still interested in Whittaker and another forward if we can't get Naismith, so our squad could be looking much stronger come the start of the season. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
calscot 0 Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 So the squad for next season may be: MacGregor/Carol/Smith Whittaker/Hutton/Lowing Wier/Ehiogu/Broadfoot Cueller/Webster Smith/Papac/Murray Novo/Burke/Sionko Ferguson/Furman Hemdani/Thomson Beasley/McCulloch/Adam Boyd/Gow/Sebo Darcheville/A.N.Other - Naismith?/Buffel/Lennon You've got to wonder whether MacGregor is toasting the new goalkeeping arrivals and whether Hutton has his fingers crossed we get Whitaker, and Adam will be well chuffed with Beasley and McCulloch. With Gow and Darcheville now here, Buffel getting fit and Lennon knocking on the door, Boyd will be praying we get another striker in. Yes, the team will soon be out celebrating the strengthening of the squad. Well, maybe Barry and Hendami... Sorry couldn't resist that. Anyway, do you think this squad is strong enough? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
calscot 0 Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 I think it's much bigger and better than the beginning of last season but not spectacular at all. I can imagine our total layout will be about 6.5M. Not bad, not great. I think it would be good to get rid of Ponroy and Sionko and sell Buffel for 1M to bring costs down as they seem superfluous. Central Midfield lacks depth if Fergie and Hemdani both get injured/suspended. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig 5,199 Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 Thomson can cover for either BF or BH - and Mcculloch apparently can play CM too, not ideal I know - but if BF and BH are out at the same time then tactics can be shifted to have Thomson as holdin gmid and bring in Buffel as a creative AM. I think our squad is already looking a fair bit stronger than this time last pre-season - but, as you say, without looking spectacular at all 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super_Ally 0 Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 Agree from that we lack strength in depth in CM. Is Ponroy not away already? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ascender 352 Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 Ponroy has gone. Squad is looking a lot better, but, and i'm going to sound like a stuck record, I still think our centre midfield is far too defensive looking and just not creative enough. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazza_8 233 Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 Rangers ahve lacked any real creativity in the centre of the pitch since the days of Gazza, Albertz, Gio etc. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ascender 352 Posted July 14, 2007 Share Posted July 14, 2007 So, will Naismith be here by the end of next week? Starting to look like it might happen again after all. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
