The Winter 2023/24 Rangers Transfer Window Rumours and Deals - Thread

On the face of it, seems a lot of money, but IMO we'd be getting a proven goalscorer, leader and a guy who has improved incredibly in the last two seasons. Loves a goal against the rheptiles anaw.

 

Never been a question over his finishing, but he's developed his hold up play and all round game a hell of a lot.

 

If the likes of Naysmith et al can get that out of him, just imagine what PC can do for him.

 

Get it done.

One of the key points about about Shankland ,is that he's pretty robust, and seems to be seldom injured.

 

Having said that we would probably shake that out of him. within a week.

Idk if age is an issue if he fires us to the title and bangs in 20-30 a season for 2/3 seasons after as well.

 

If the manager approves then that's good enough for me.

One of the things about modern football is £4 million is chicken feed if he helps deliver the title it will be seen as deal of the year as someone pointed out he's quite robust and that's never a bad thing.

Regardless of what goes on elsewhere, £4m is a huge outlay for us.

You have to speculate to accumulate it's like having money in the bank you'll always have it if you don't spend it but wisely invested it can grow

I trust the managers opinion, but £4M is double what I'd want us to pay for Shankland. 

[Thinker 887]

Rather than paying £4m, maybe we could throw one of our surplus players into the deal.

 

For example, we could offer Lammers + £7 million.

I think we're questioning the wisdom of spending such a large amount on someone with no resale value.

Ideally i'd prefer a striker who is better than what Celtic have. That's how you win trophies and titles. Not signing players who wouldn't get in their team

Ideally, yes, but guid fitba teams are greater than the sum of their parts. You could argue that Ferguson and McCall weren't a huge upgrade on McStay and Collins, but they ended up a cornerstone of a very successful team. Likewise Boyd and Larsson, but the former scored more goals.

 

If £4m gets us straight into the CL, then it's a worthwhile outlay.
