DJBlue72 0 Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 Would go for Kingston of hearts , Rob Jones of Hibs for a big solid CB or Berra like Driver too so would be pleased if we got him, Celtic are snapping up a lot of promising young players this week and seem too have the edge over us in this dept , what do our scouts actually do ???? who was the last promising talent they spotted to sign on at Ibrox ?? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

craig 5,199 Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 Celtic are snapping up a lot of promising young players this week and seem too have the edge over us in this dept , what do our scouts actually do ???? who was the last promising talent they spotted to sign on at Ibrox ?? I am not quite as convinced that these "promising youngsters" are what they are being made out to be. Paddy McCourt anyone ? Sure, they could turn out to be great players but the signs aren't really there so far as I can see. Even if they were we have "promising youngsters" of our own who look every bit as good as any of those signed by Celtic. John Fleck anyone ? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazza_8 233 Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 Our scouts are shite. Infact, do we have scouts? I'd take no one from the SPL. Players like Berra and Driver just don't appeal to me. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

True - but youth doesnt get a chance at Ibrox so its a viscious circle. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gribz 846 Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 Our scouts are shite. Infact, do we have scouts? I'd take no one from the SPL. Players like Berra and Driver just don't appeal to me. Normally I agree. Only Scott Brown and Craig Gordon have appealed to me in recent years, but I like Berra. His 2 performances against us and Celtic recently would make him a far better choice than our other options. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As soon as we show any interest, no doubt Romanov will slap a �£4-5 million price tag on him . 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
theboyharley 5 Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 As soon as we show any interest, no doubt Romanov will slap a �£4-5 million price tag on him . Which to be fair he is intitled to do. I wish we would do the same to some of our fringe players. They dont make the grade with us so we let them go for nowt. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Barr 0 Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 I remeber after the misery of losing out at the last minute in the league to them, that Walter Smith said he would add "flair" to the squad. I have looked out for that eversince because i happened to say that we needed it before last season and i think i was proved correct given the 'Hammer House of Horror football' Rangers sometimes played. So, it has driven me mad that he still hasn't. The nearest i thought he got to it was the loan signing of Aaron. But that in a way does'nt count because he never plays the wee man. I think he would argue that Pedro Mendes is part of that, but i think he is a good player but not a "flair" player. So, since Rangers do have the funds to shell out �£4m for Kyle Lafferty, why couldn't they do that for a genuinly gifted player like a Brazillian or Argentinain youth player. That way we would be guaranteed to at least double the boys transfer fee aswell as see some nice skill for a change. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurlock 0 Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 Cristophe Berra wouldn't go a miss, a future Scotland player, McCulloch was really badly caught out against Utd last weekend, I thought at first it might be a good idea but now I'm not so sure. Keep going big Dave Weir, just keep going big man......lol 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
