I wonder if Cantwell is related to Noel Cantwell, Uniteds, West Ham and Manchester and ROI.

I was wondering that myself

A quick Google search suggests he's no relation.  

 

He looks a bit like someone you'd expect to see playing keboards in Soft Machine or Caravan.

Both Tom Davies & Cantwell are high risk signings in my opinion. Not unlike Matondo.

Whatever they had ain’t there anymore. Who’s to say they’ll rediscover it at Rangers 

 

And that's the market we are in. We have to gamble and I for one am excited at the proposition of both playing for Rangers.

Also, some chat that Cantwell was in Glasgow today.

 

Manager's post-match comments yesterday about him and Tom Davies seemed to suggest a very strong interest given he named them both which is fairly unusual.

Heard he held talks with Ross Wilson today and Beale wants him immediately rather than in the summer. 

 

Davies is a player Beale has liked and monitored for a while and fits the profile of player Beale likes.

The late Noel Euchuria Cornelius Cantwell?

Who does that to a child?

It should not be the main market we’re in though. Far from it.
As well as developing our own players from the academy, we should be looking at home & abroad for young players to develop & sell on. Like Bassey & Aribo.
Will Tom Davies or Cantwell bring us anything like Bassey & Aribo did?

To be fair, it's actually Eucharia. That's better, surely.  

 

(Wikipedia got it wrong.)

I don't know - but having both played in EPL (and Championship in Cantwells case), they are further on in their development than Aribo and Bassey (who were gambles and we are lucky both paid off - let's bot forget Bassey was written off by a large section of fans early in his Rangers career).

 

We are developing our own players via the Academy but no matter how much money you throw at it, or who you employee to run it, not every player will be a Patterson or a Bassey.

 

If we do sign Cantwell and he can recapture the form he showed early in his career, we'll make a fortune on him. It's a gamble, but all signings are.

No one thought for a minute that we'd get what we did for those two when we signed them, hindsight is indeed marvellous.
