But you said he can't cut it elsewhere which is blatantly untrue. 

It's not really, did you watch him when they were in the PL? he was in his 20s then, and wasn't particularly impressive. I'd rather sign players that shone in a brighter, more technical league than the championship. Kamara made it look easy.

 

If it wasn't for Butland, Tav would probably be our player of the year, but I wouldn't sign him, would you?.

 

It's okay to have a different opinion to yours Cammy.

It's fine to have a different opinion and fine that you don't want to sign him.

 

But to state a player who played almost every minute for Norwich this season, was their POTY and a n international player, can't cut it elsewhere is simply not true.

It might be.  We won't know unless he ends up elsewhere.  

[CammyF 7,116]

Given he is attracting interest from other clubs would suggest that he can and would. 

 

I'm sure he'd be able to cut it in the lower leagues in the UK. 

 

Anyway it's very unlikely that he'll end up here unless Norwich release him which is highly unlikely

We better bring back Lammers then, he's roasted the Eredivisie. 😉

McLean is too old. 

[JohnMc 2,547]

It's not about age, it's about fitness. I accept the two become more closely linked as a player ages, but simply being 32 shouldn't be some kind of cut off point. Steve Davis played 35 times in a title winning side at 34. If Barasic, Roofe, Lundstrom and Jack are away, plus this talk of Goldson and Tav leaving too, then we will be very short of experience, and a club the size of Rangers does need experienced players too. He's played 35 plus matches each of the last 3 seasons, that suggests his fitness isn't currently an issue. 

McLean isn't the kind of signing that gets the support excited, but he knows the league, he's played at a decent standard, he's Scottish which helps for European squads, and he's a decent player. I imagine his salary expectations are within our budget too.

I was reading that Southampton and Leicester are interested in Butland

Is that still a thing?  I was sure I read that was no longer a requirement.

There was rumours it was going to get binned or tweaked but doesn't look like anytime soon.
