It's ranger_syntax. Assume he's always taking the p*ss. 

 

If he's not, it's nonsense anyway.

Played RB for Stoke but has also played LB and as a RH sided CB as part of a back 3 

Has also played as a winger, both sides.  Pretty much every position other than keeper and striker

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. 

First choice CB if we go to a back 3 - if we remain a 4 I can only see him being a back up there - Goldson isnt being moved - and Souttar's end to the season suggests he and Goldson will be the preferred pairing, rightly so.

Not so quick.

 

This guy has had some of the worst injury issues possible over the past three years. 

 

I think if he can manage to go a season without missing a large chunk of it then maybe. 

Things are looking even worse for Tavernier now.

Just focus on the transfers.

 

All the personal stuff might be compelling to you but it just makes me sic.

I like these two signings, yet I also don't because I feel like they're Beale signings - in the sense that he's signed them because he knows them or has worked with them before - which I don't like.

Has anyone seen any of the links with Patson Daka or is it all taking the piss?

 

£23m to Leicester 2 years ago but has been a bit part player really, with their recent relegation there's a slight chance surely. Great age, good pedigree. Not sure what the fee would be, maybe a loan with an option to buy at the end of it would be shrewd.

 

Might be pie in the sky but wondered what you guys thought.

Swansea City Blocks Morgan Whittaker’s Move to Rangers Amidst Managerial Uncertainty

 Rangers Newshub

2 hours ago

Swansea City has recently halted Morgan Whittaker’s potential transfer to Rangers until they finalize the appointment of a new manager. The current head coach, Russell Martin, is expected to join recently-relegated Southampton. This development puts Rangers in a predicament, relying on the decision of a future manager as they seek to bring Whittaker to their team. Whittaker’s impressive performances on loan at Plymouth Argyle have caught the attention of several clubs, including Rangers.

Russell Martin, a former Ibrox centre-half, issued an apology to Rangers fans after the January transfer window. The Swansea boss expressed his strong bond with Morgan Whittaker and acknowledged the messages he received from Rangers fans urging him to let the player go. Martin, who sympathized with their sentiments, explained that the final decision was not within his control.

With Russell Martin on the verge of departing Swansea for Southampton, Rangers face uncertainty in their pursuit of Morgan Whittaker. According to Football Scotland, Rangers are willing to submit another bid for the talented left-footed player. However, Swansea has made it clear that they will not entertain offers until they appoint a successor to Martin. This decision is grounded in the belief that the new manager might consider Whittaker an integral part of the team’s future plans.

Morgan Whittaker showcased his potential during his loan spell at Plymouth Argyle, where he made a significant impact. In just 19 starts in League One, Whittaker netted nine goals and provided seven assists, contributing to Plymouth’s success as the eventual champions of the third tier. His outstanding performances caught the attention of Michael Beale, the Rangers boss, who identified Whittaker as a top transfer target. However, Beale might face competition from Steven Schumacher, head coach of Plymouth, who has expressed a keen desire to secure Whittaker’s services permanently.

Reports suggest that Morgan Whittaker has a strong inclination towards joining Rangers. The club has already bolstered its squad with the signings of Kieran Dowell and Dujon Sterling this month. Whittaker’s versatility, goal-scoring ability, dribbling skills, and exceptional left foot make him an attractive prospect for the Scottish club. Jobi McAnuff, a former player for Cardiff, Crystal Palace, and Watford, highlights Whittaker’s immense potential and believes that securing him would be a brilliant signing for Rangers.

Swansea City’s decision to block Morgan Whittaker’s potential move to Rangers until they appoint a new manager has added a layer of uncertainty to the transfer saga. While Rangers remain eager to acquire Whittaker’s services, they must wait for Swansea’s managerial situation to be resolved. Whittaker’s loan spell at Plymouth Argyle has undoubtedly raised his profile, attracting interest from both Rangers and Plymouth’s head coach, Steven Schumacher. As the transfer drama unfolds, Whittaker’s desire to join Rangers, along with his remarkable abilities, makes him a highly sought-after talent with the potential for a promising career ahead.
