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

[JohnMc 2,750]

The UK government decide work permits, not the SFA. There are some African countries where it's easier to get a UK work visa, and some where it's quite difficult. 

The real problem a  club like Rangers has when it comes to academies, be they Scottish players or African ones, is the culture around the club. If Nordsjælland never win a trophy no one will be surprised, so they can blood young players, introduce them to their first team, allow them to make mistakes and learn their trade, safe in the knowledge they are only there to be developed and sold. Our support simply won't accept that. Young players will get a couple of games at most to prove they belong in the first team, then they'll be fair game for the crowd if they aren't pulling their weight. 

We can set up as many academies as we want, but good luck getting them first team football at Rangers.

Fascinating. 

 

Still, all largely irrelevant to Rangers and our current situation.

Yup, means shit.

So we buy a smaller team or get a b team in the league.

I prefer that version. In fact I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy....

Don't church it up hoss. It ain't rocket surgery. 

It is just gonna be painful for a bit.

When you are king of the fishbowl you are pain averse. 

I get it.

Just get in that English pyramid.

Don't be proud, don't go with all that biggest club in the world...we want this and that...business.

Hat in hand, go to the English and ask for a shot.

A shot, just a place.

Then the hard work begins...but just get in.
