The Summer 2023 Rangers Transfer Window Rumours and Deals - Thread

Think Sterling will be a "Bassey" type signing. Will offer cover at RB and CB - looks like we'll be going to a back 3  - Sterling, Goldson and Soutar with Tav and Ridvan as wing backs.

It looks like smart business. As far as I can tell, he doesn’t offer anything like the threat Tav does going forward, but he’s strong defensively and potentially a very good option for center-back cover. 

I see him as primarily as cover for CB - or even a first-choice CB. 

 

It'll be a back-three before he takes Tavernier's spot.

You often see fans excited about a back-three, yet they are the same that decry the use of two DMs.

Oh no. Not a back three.

 

What will they all do against spfl jobbers?

[compo 7,030]

Back three back four wing backs call them what you want as long as they can defend

I've always liked a back 3 if you have guys who are willing and able to step out with the ball (Goldson springs to mind) as it usually pulls a midfielder out of position, giving you an option and space to build attacks. Otherwise it's shite.

Formations are fluid not rigid we have played a back 3 at times this season more so at ibrox during games when

lundstram has slotted back in.

 

I wouldn’t get overly excited/upset about it.
