Chris Jack is suggesting Rangers have finished their business and won't sign anyone else.

"I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but if you're expecting a flurry of transfer activity, I don't see it happening. Rangers did a lot of business early in the window and are happy with that. I don't think there's anything in the pipeline. " - Chris Jack.

Well to put it in plain words were Fu**ed the signings so far are not doing it.

Looks like to me there won’t be incomings unless there are outgoings.

McLaughlan
Wright
Davies

So frustrating, but it is what it is. We’re certainly not made of money. It’s a shame because a right winger and a CB (Harry Souttar), would have been a great end to the window.

Might aswell hand them the title again. Problem areas again not been addressed and no replacement for kent is horrendous.

If we don’t make any signing at left sided centre back and go with what we have and no right winger we’re going to win nothing.

Chris Jack doesn't have a clue and gets a tonne wrong. He has few contacts inside the club - H&H have a lot more, alongside TFO.

Heard the same, board think we have enough to win the league. Worrying times imo and that’s against a Celtic that’s struggling with injuries.

We’ll only move for players if any notable players leave I. E Davies/ Barisic that right now isn’t happening. Then if it does happen later on it could be too late.

On a question for the rest of the site what would you rate our transfer window / 10? How do you see our chances of winning this league?

Happy with "that"?
£6m that warms the bench and a number 9 that couldn't hit a barn door.
And a defence that cannot defence about SPL level.

Great business, buzzing for it!

Just checked with someone, Souttar deal is still being discussed.

Harry is desperate to come to us, we want him but Leicester want to sell however if they can’t we may get a loan late in the day.

So much for the so called main posters . you reading storm

Why would you back a manager that's failed in pretty much everything so far an assist while at club only one trophy won

Sorry but the signs are there already that this experiment not going well.

This is why a was raging the other day when Celtic signed Phillips. We need a c errs back of that mould and we have sat on our arsed all summer and ignored it. Joke.


11.) 01 Sep 2023
01 Sep 2023 12:17:14
If we don’t add two players then we’d better hope and pray Celtics form continues. If they pull the finger out we’ll be very hard pushed to win the league.


12.) 01 Sep 2023
01 Sep 2023 12:17:47
Still really hoping for one more in and a couple still to head out on loan.

I did hear that Dykes and Shankland were on their way - driven here by Vladimir Weiss - but I think that's wide of the mark.

No more signings don’t want to give Beale any more money to waste as he’ll be gone by Christmas.


18.) 01 Sep 2023
01 Sep 2023 13:04:43
More signings obviously depended on the CL money and outgoings. Neither have happened.


19.) 01 Sep 2023
01 Sep 2023 13:06:04
What do people not understand about signing players and filling squads? We have Ben Davies as left foot cb and Souter playing there, also a login can play there. Just because some decide they’re not good enough doesn’t mean you buy again. If players don’t move on then we can’t sign anymore. Sometimes in football you’re stuck due to players not being fit, good enough, refusing to move on. tough!

This squad is good enough to consistently beat the rest Scotland and go toe to toe V Celtic, down to the coaching team to ensure that happens now.


20.) 01 Sep 2023
01 Sep 2023 13:10:07
Folks. I’ll say it again. The board are not interested in trophies, it’s their job to keep us stable. Capital projects past and present will affect our budget. We have a squad good enough, however managers need to utilise them correctly. Sunday will tell.

More fans than supporters wading into this. The same ones who predictably will be on here at FT on Sunday shouting how we’re world beaters if we win or who want everyone sacked (?) if we don’t. Very few seem to understand how clubs and management work, albeit a good few absolutely do. The sense of entitlement from some, and willing to bash the club given any opportunity is a disgrace. You’d be better off not bothering to post.

Note. Of course you can disagree and speak out if you’re not happy. And yes, all opinions are just that, just like mine. But, get behind our team and stop the entitled whining. We’ve a great UEL draw and could go top Sunday. Try the glass half full once in a while.


23.) 01 Sep 2023
01 Sep 2023 13:32:08
Lot of panic going on this site, I’ve seen a lot better Rangers teams pumped out in the qualifiers against dross in Europe, people wanting Beale out need to have a look at themselves, on Tuesday we were going to give Celtic doing now it’s the end of the world.


24.) 01 Sep 2023
01 Sep 2023 13:33:58
I’d rate the transfer window as a good 1. We have spent £12.5m and recouped almost all of it. All the attacking options have scored at least once and most have at least 1 assist. Our replacement GK looks top drawer and our new CM Cifuentes like all have shown glimpses.
Every player we have signed has showed ability and once we get a more settled side we will see the best of them.
We actually have lots of options from bench for 1st time in a long time.
If we beat Celtic on Sunday we are 2 points clear of them and we are only going to get stronger.


25.) 01 Sep 2023
01 Sep 2023 13:40:24
Hearing a lot of Sima is not good enough, we need a proper replacement for Ryan Kent

Ryan Kent 2022/ 2023 - 44 appearances - 3 goals
2021/ 2022 - 46 appearances - 3 goals

Abdullah Sima 7 games into 2023/ 2024 season - 7 appearances - 2 goals

Kent worked hard, looked good on the eye = no end product

If Sima looks hopeless at times but contributes 15-20 goals this season then i'm taking that all day long

Give the boy and the rest of the new signings a chance.


26.) 01 Sep 2023
01 Sep 2023 13:46:31
VerdantAbyss I think your right don't see anyone coming in now which for me is a worrying as we've got no real pace and or width about us
No LB currently either is a concern. Just hope they continue being rubbish and we beat them sunday otherwise pressure starts mounting on the Cockney wyde boy, my fear is once all their players are back they will be a lot stronger especially if we don't win Sunday.


27.) 01 Sep 2023
01 Sep 2023 14:06:20
Here we go with all the happy clappers!

'Support the team blah blah blah.

No one is not supporting the team we're just realistic in that Beale has still failed to win is a meaningful game. Servette is the only thing that looks like a big game win.

Our squad is still a good bit behind Celtics mainly because their strikers are prolific and when CCV plays they don't lose a lot of goals.

When does finishing well behind Celtic end, I hope it's this year but it could be a few years away yet and continually settling for second best doesn't do us any good.

Celtic fans rioted when they were terrible and they went and got a manager who won 5 out of 6.
Who's the dafties?


28.) 01 Sep 2023
01 Sep 2023 14:11:21
I reckon will know on Sunday whether we have a chance of winning the league or not this season since in general terms winning the league comes down to who wins the Old Firm games. Do I expect to win, of course I do because when someone pulls on that blue jersey they should be willing to die for the team.
Do I have concerns, yes! Some of these guys that we have bought appear to have a leak of passion and are clueless about what it means to play for Rangers and I have no idea what Beale's plans are or what his Team selection will be. His track record with his own players so far has been abysmal. Wrong team selection against Kilmarnock and wrong team selection against PSV! That is my main worry for Sunday because losing this one is not an option.


29.) 01 Sep 2023
01 Sep 2023 14:22:41
I think the window was a good one and still players finding their feet. hopefully quickly!
My main concern is we are starting the season with the same dross defensive line!
We failed with them last year and we will fail with them again.
Build from the back, not build from the front!


30.) 01 Sep 2023
01 Sep 2023 14:28:55
Storm I know he’s slow but for me he’s what we need, in the air at both ends he’s a really good defender.
Pace isn’t always needed if player is good positionally look at hellander Davie weir and so on.
A just really rate the big guy lads and I think yous will see why.
Him and ccv will be 2 best centre back in league and will prove very hard to get better of, we should use pace against them on Sunday Sima and Matondo with Roofe at cf lol as u say mate he doesn’t have great pace so that’s our best option I think .


31.) 01 Sep 2023
01 Sep 2023 14:37:20
How dare the club be well prepared and not have multiple last minute panic buys. Its a total disgrace and they should all resign immediately. Seriously!

We have done lots of good business early and I for one think this has been a good window.

Let's get behind the players we have brought in and see how they do over the next few months. We then review in January and strengthen where we need it the most.

I would have liked one more, maybe two lol, but we do have depth in our squad still and it will take more than one transfer window to make all the changes we would like to see.


32.) 01 Sep 2023
01 Sep 2023 14:42:16
I will admit given time yes these new signungs might improve so far I've not been impressed by anyone but Butland and so far i don't think we've improved up front at all with the exception of Matondo who has been a bright spark so far this season. I will always be behind my club my main issue is whilst in time this windiws players might come good as it stands we've not improved and prob gotten a bit worse i blame that on Beale, his tactics and unwillingness to make subs or change things when needed. Our defence has beem suspect for well over 2 seasons now and STILL we continue to go with the same back 4 its the defence that needed sorted before anything else no point spending a small fortune on a new (allegedly faster) front line if were going to gift xhances and goals to anyone who asks a question of us at the back. If we don't get anyone in at the back today we will all be cimplaining of the same issues come january maybe then halfway through the season he might just try and fix it . . . If he's still there.

34.) 01 Sep 2023
01 Sep 2023 14:49:29
Still not addressed the problems in defence, we have Davies and Yilmaz who continually have mystery injuries and therefore no pressure on the guys in possession of the shirt. We can get away with Souttar on the left side against most of our league but not in Europe. There are so many players down south who will not be in their squads for the rest of the season, why can`t we pick up a left sided C. B and a wide man on loan. Pity though we didn`t spot young Sadiq at Hakken when we were scouting Traore . He was sensational last night and is going for £3.5 million, well within our price range . We could have got him rather than load up with 3 strikers, 2 of whom look bang average.


35.) 01 Sep 2023
01 Sep 2023 15:09:06
Butland, Raskin, and Cantwell appear to be the only impressive signings so far.

Dessers, Danilo, Lammers and Cifuentes have not impressed me at all.

Quite gutting.

Sunday hopefully changes this. Hope these new guys show what Beale has believed in them.


36.) 01 Sep 2023
01 Sep 2023 15:13:24
DK mate can you confirm who has thrown in the towel? Ibrox who says we are world beaters if we beat Celtic. We have a team good enough to go toe to toe however we got humped 5-1 by PSV. They are not high pedigree European elite. The forward signings have been rank for what we paid and the formation confusing. We honestly talk more on this forum about how much a player will make us rather than winning a trophy. Mental.


37.) 01 Sep 2023
01 Sep 2023 15:33:37
Corner against us gives me the fear, consistent problem for months if not a few years . Sort defence first, all top managers in the past did exactly that as a priority, we have big carthorses playing for Dingwall and even Morton bossing our defence right, left and centre, jeez we are even scoring comedy own goals now due to fannying about at the back as some insane 'tactic'

Tap to you tap back to you then tap back again then hoof it, nonsense.


38.) 01 Sep 2023

39.) 01 Sep 2023
01 Sep 2023 15:59:25
We can wrap up the league cup without even needing to play Celtic and folk are saying we’ve no chance of a trophy this season lol.

Windy, everyone has a right to be wrong. I wouldn’t, but if I bookmarked all these comments and reposted when we win a cup or the league or do well in the UEL, or even if we were to rampage then this weekend, many will swear the players were just settling or whatever. The negativity from many posters is reason enough for me to go back to doing what I thought I’d enjoy here. Following my team everywhere and enjoying some chat with like minded supporters. To John, Copland and the rest, enjoy your weekend and keep both your faith and positivity for Rangers, we absolutely need it.


41.) 01 Sep 2023
01 Sep 2023 16:36:34
Raskin sort made my point. Hardly anyone has mentioned that Beale has no excuse for not winning that trophy. In reality we the only ones that can win a treble. More chat about money than trophies. We are allowed to be critical folks.


42.) 01 Sep 2023
01 Sep 2023 18:38:15
John I think your right think it was people on here

Still would have like to sign him though Danilo not. And player neither is lammers or sima just don't think they are being used right Danilo needs game time from start to properly judge.

I wouldn't mind seeing lammers tried as his preferred CF role he's big can hold ball up can turn a man and decent in air all things dessers seems to lack

Still maintain sima would do more damage in behind a main forward the man likes a shot and he slows game down when wide.

And I can here Beale now but but he's always been a winger ? doesn't mean he always has to be he's still young.


43.) 01 Sep 2023
01 Sep 2023 18:48:24

01 Sep 2023 18:52:31
I note the comment about getting rid of McLaughlin, Davies and Wright however realistically the only one likely to go is Wright and that presupposes that we drop our asking price. Davies has already said he wants to stay and fight for his position which I translate as he is happy to stay and pick up has wages for sitting on the bench just as he did at Liverpool.
As for McLaughlin, you couldn't give him away!

John27 it was reported in the press that Beale was very keen on Traore, it was just a rumour but just like the any rumour be it on here or in the press, it may or may not have been true. Wish to god it had been, watched him for Sheff Utd and he is much better and quicker than Dessers and we might have got Sadiq as well. These two and forget about Dessers, Lammers and Sima and we would have saved a bit of cash and a wage .
