I remain sceptical !

It's debatable whether we ever paid anything for him too. Indeed it's unlikely.

Think that's a bit optimistic of Southampton. If Ajax are selling Antony for 95 million.

Or can afford.

Prices tend to come down a bit for some come the last day or two, especially those whose sell by date is in view or carry baggage.

Wee reminder of the squad how it stands ... by position.

TM Rangers Squad by Position

For I see a lot of people asking for a right winger when we actually have signed Matondo for exactly that slot.

You can click on any player, then open the STATS pull-down and click on ALL SEASONS. You will get a screen that lists the positions (amongst many other things) where that player has played in throughout his career. That in turn makes TM to put him primarily in one slot, while also offering alternative slots.

E.g. Matondo played most of last season as a right winger and was pretty decent. It overtook his use as a left winger, but he can play across the attack line, which is one reason we signed him. While Wright was mostly used as a left winger by Aberdeen, due to the irreplacable Kent, and the loss of Hagi, we shoe-horned him into the right winger role, hence he is now listed as right winger.
There are also some misconceptions about Lawrence, whom we utilized in an leftish AM role, but who played most of his games for Derby as a left winger (perhaps not in recent memory). And he is rather versatile too, as we have seen.

We do have a number of people capable of playing across the front line and, e.g. you see in his goal return that Colak is an out and out central striker. He hardly ventures to the wings and is there where he has to be. Would love to see him paired with Morelos up top.

Looked a decent player but maybe didn't convert chances he should have. Certainly caused problems.
