Definite interest in Josh Doig, I was a bit sceptical but if its genuine, I think it's a sign that we mean business. 21, so could be our left back for 10 years, yilmaz sale could fund most of it.

Bazbear73

1.) 01 Jan 2024 20:08:13
Hope this happens, exactly the sort of player we should be targeting.


2.) 01 Jan 2024 20:16:31
Baz this imo would be a great move.


3.) 01 Jan 2024 21:16:11
It’s just a pity we didn’t take a punt on him when he was at Hibs and got him cheaper. Lots of good Scottish talent we’ve let go abroad without showing an interest in.


4.) 01 jan 2024 21:47:10
fed up saying it, we have plenty cash and will spend.


5.) 01 Jan 2024 22:03:43
Hate to say it, but we would not have developed him the way he has come on.


6.) 01 Jan 2024 22:15:05
Correct bar72. Barasic would still have been getting played no doubt.


7.) 01 Jan 2024 22:25:06
Big Phil gets we need a Scottish spine and Scottish quality. I’m happy with this, Barron, McKenna and hopefully Denkey (one came dream ??)


8.) 01 Jan 2024 23:21:58
I had posted on a previous thread that he only has 2 assists in 34 starts in Italy.
That’s very poor for a modern fullback.
I’m not so sure I want him now.


9.) 01 Jan 2024 23:39:09
I'm with you John, liked him at hibs and time in Italy can only have made him better, I don't think we get him for much under 5m but he's dynamic, up and down that wing all day, and scottish so what looks like a big outlay is money well spent imo, recoup most of it my moving on Yilmaz and its clever business.


10.) 01 Jan 2024 23:41:39
Was speaking to an Italian guy I know that's up to date on most things in Italian football. Has a few contacts in the game, media and scouting agencies that are involved in the game there and his opinion is Doig is one of the top young full backs over there. If he come it will be with a decent sell on clause. I'm hopeful of this as my hibs pal thinks he would be one of the best full backs in the country.


11.) 01 jan 2024 23:55:17
italian football and british football are vastly different stevie, they play differently, and there's no way in the world doigs only ever put 2 crosses inti the box, or nit been involved in build ups that lead to goals, you should never trust these type of stats, if you did then many players would look rubbish, italians don't just expect the fb to belt down the wing and punt the ball in, like tav does,


12.) 02 Jan 2024 00:56:28
It’s a potty yilmaz must be sold I thought he had a great game the old firm.


13.) 02 Jan 2024 06:50:02
Josh doig is a good left full back and i hope we can sign him ? He's better than yilmaz for me ?.


14.) 02 Jan 2024 07:41:42
saw on twitter mls reporter says we're linked with teenage hadebe apparently left back / centre half.


15.) 02 Jan 2024 08:44:59
Unfortunately I just don't see him coming back to Scotland - same as Lewis Ferguson. There's teams in England looking at Doig.


16.) 02 Jan 2024 08:58:37
I think Doig would improve the starting 11 - hope this one is true.


17.) 02 Jan 2024 09:14:56
Hope Doig is true, Good player for his age with plenty of potential.


18.) 02 Jan 2024 11:10:25
Interesting to see if we sign Doig permanently or as I read in a previous post - loan with an option to buy.


19.) 02 Jan 2024 15:03:48
few other clubs in for Doig
Bologna have bid 6 mill euros and Torino now being front runners for his signature with a 7 mill euros bid already.
Doubt we will be matching those bids.
My bet is he will stay in italy and only get better.
Can't blame the lad. Serie A or the SPFL, hardly rocket science.


20.) 02 Jan 2024 18:20:25
Not a chance for me sws.


 

 

15 Nov 2023 17:11:10
See Warburton in paper talking about the way he and Davie Weir were edged out, I know there were rumours they were talking to another club, but anybody got decent info on this, seemed a bit harsh, if they did move to another club we would have got compo surely?

Bazbear73

1.) 15 Nov 2023 18:49:10
In past who cares move on

Need to look forward not back why are people intent on creating negative headlines around us when we are doing well.


2.) 15 nov 2023 18:54:52
tried to be fly and look innocent, git caught, end of.


3.) 15 Nov 2023 18:58:20
Is this just some media spin from Brighton as D Weir being mentioned in rumblings re potential DOF job at Ibrox and a way of spreading negative press so as to distance him from the job? Just a thought?.


4.) 15 Nov 2023 19:37:59
Things were going pear shaped for him as his lack of a plan B was getting found out, he thought he was gong to get sacked and started looking around for other offers, got caught and got sacked. We got no compensation because we sacked him and he got no compensation because he was talking to another club. He didn`t last long there either, couldn`t maintain a challenge at QPR and after a spell as West Hams assistant coach, and is now looking to get back in somewhere. what's the best way of doing that? Start talking again about the only big club he`s ever worked for and hope to get noticed. He got us promoted and then was found out, that's the real story.


5.) 15 Nov 2023 20:24:44
Warburton said it in a podcast, nothing to so with weir.


6.) 15 Nov 2023 20:37:21
Cheers gor the responses guys, especially wslgers.
Well informed.


7.) 16 Nov 2023 14:36:34
I’d like to see warburton takeover an spl club and see how he gets on.
Maybe the hearts job will be up for grabs soon.


8.) 16 Nov 2023 23:05:39
Plan B is to do Plan A better. ?.


 

 

10 Oct 2023 14:52:16
Hi John227, I seen your comment earlier that you think it will be clement or jansen. Is Jansen even in the running because I've not seen him mentioned recently so wasnt sure if he's in the interview process, i'm only asking because i stuck 30 quid on it being Jansen last week then he disappeared off the radar.

Bazbear73

1.) 10 Oct 2023 15:07:12
Baz bear he was number one choice. I’m told it’s who Bennett really wanted.


2.) 10 Oct 2023 15:36:22
I see the bookies have suspended bets for the next manager. Saying who ever it is will get a 4 year deal. If true they are certainly backing him because if it doesn’t work out it could get very expensive.


3.) 10 Oct 2023 22:35:08
John I'm not surprised if this is true when I read up on him sounded like boardroom perfect fit for club strategy.


 

 

02 Oct 2023 08:40:56
Pascal Jensen getting talked about, AZ Alkmar mgr, 2nd in Dutch league.

Bazbear73

1.) 02 Oct 2023 09:47:31
He has done wonders there for a fairly small club in a modest size area.


2.) 02 Oct 2023 09:49:17
Potter 1st choice but can't see it
muscat why not! at least he's won something.


3.) 02 Oct 2023 10:16:19
I'm sure John mentioned him a couple of days ago.


4.) 02 Oct 2023 10:46:18
Would take him defo.


5.) 02 Oct 2023 10:55:18
Another name that could be a good option for manager is Ole Gunnar Solskjær.

But i think we need to try and get Pascal Jensen or knutsen or Muscat as they would be great options.

If Muscat comes in I could see some Japanese players arriving in Jan who he worked with like ange did with Celtic.


6.) 02 Oct 2023 12:15:53
OGS are u for real wee got rid of a idiot why hire a even worse one.


7.) 02 Oct 2023 12:18:44
Ibrox not solskaejr for me. Disaster at United.

I think Jensen.


8.) 02 Oct 2023 12:21:51
Jenson would be a decent shout. he's got AZ playing some good stuff. A fresh pair of eyes with no emotional affiliation to any of the old guard.
My only concern is he still had to work with players like Dessers and Lammers. Could be a tough few months whoever we get in.


9.) 02 Oct 2023 12:24:49
If Ole gets the job, we're in trouble.


10.) 02 Oct 2023 12:46:54
If Pascal gets the Job he might get the best out Sam Lammers as they worked together at Jong PSV.

With Desser i do see a good player in there we just need to find a structure that works i think he would be better in a 4-4-2 formation with a supporting striker and he wants to flick the ball onto someone.


11.) 02 Oct 2023 13:49:02
No offence, but when can you have seen a good player in Dessers . He misses sitters, can`t head a ball, has no pace, his touch is awful and worst of all he is hiding . He is deliberately making runs behind defenders so that he doesn`t get the ball . He was worse than a man short on Saturday .


12.) 02 Oct 2023 14:44:37
Ibrox
IMO Dessers pound for pound is one of Rangers worst buys ever going on form from his career start at Ibrox to date as wsl says he is a waste of a jersey - jeez he makes Philip Sebo look like a great buy.


13.) 02 Oct 2023 14:48:22
Dessers would be btr off in the Main Stand serving the juice, pies and bovril. Never a football player.


14.) 02 Oct 2023 15:35:30
Would not judge Ole Gunnar Solskjær on Man U ten hag will more than likely get the sack from there is he a bad manager? . Man U are a shadow of there former self.


15.) 02 Oct 2023 16:13:13
If it Ole or Lampard I’ll be disgusted, Bielsa is the Guy for me if he was interested.


16.) 02 Oct 2023 18:27:17
R1, I agree reg Ole and Lampard. Bielsa would be a decent appointment.


17.) 02 Oct 2023 19:15:43
Jensen or muscat look the 2 standout candidates for me.


18.) 02 Oct 2023 22:37:45
Jenson it is then.


19.) 02 Oct 2023 23:31:40
Based on Lampard's comments tonight I don't believe that he will be coming as our manager. He clearly wouldn't fancy the stress that goes with the job.


 

 

22 Jun 2023 08:20:24
Have I missed the Benie Traore rumour previously, just seen it today and the lad had a stellar season in Sweden, he's 20 I think from Ivory Coast and averaging almost goal a game this calendar year, saying Beale is keen and altho Transfermarket rate him at 1m, fee quoted is 4m. Somewhere in between that with a sell on might work.

An alan nixon special, doubt it has kegs but would be great if it happened.


2.) 22 Jun 2023 08:43:33
A winger who scores goals?.


3.) 22 Jun 2023 08:52:17
Mph he's a cf mate.


4.) 22 Jun 2023 08:55:50
We don't play with wingers, MB never has. So doubt it?.


5.) 22 Jun 2023 09:07:05
Doesn’t look the most physically robust, my only worry with him.


6.) 22 Jun 2023 09:12:10
A cf that scores goals?.


7.) 22 Jun 2023 09:12:35
That’s good coldo because he ain’t a winger.


Matondo winger kent winger wright winger but yeah so he doesn’t play with wingers.


8.) 22 Jun 2023 09:19:05
Yeah but he doesn't play them as wingers, he plays them as 10s or Strikers??.


9.) 22 Jun 2023 09:30:54
??????.


10.) 22 Jun 2023 09:34:54
Storm I get it you and Coldo don't see eye to eye however Beale does not play the traditional right winger, left winger with a CF through the middle like Gio did. Surely you saw the change when Beale came in that Kent could go anywhere as opposed to hugging the touch line. The simple fact is if you look at the Muck's Forward line with Jota, Abada and Maeda they play as wingers and all get goals. So if we are signing players who play on the left or right then I'd expect them to get a decent return in goals.


11.) 22 Jun 2023 09:35:06
Storm we all no he played with width in the celtic game.


12.) 22 Jun 2023 09:56:51
We played with width in the celtic game ??. doesn't mean we played the winger role. we did play with width, rb lb, sometimes one of our players ran out wide?. Bang on NRD. ?.


13.) 22 Jun 2023 09:58:52
Beale you have said plenty times on here that MB doesn't play with wingers?‍♂️???.


14.) 22 Jun 2023 10:20:17
We always play with width?.


15.) 22 Jun 2023 10:20:35
If you use wide players they may fall of the edge or bang in to the linesman, I think this is what the "no wingers" contributor is suggesting is the managers plan. Everybody just line up in a straight line to confuse the opponent. stay safe.


16.) 22 Jun 2023 10:26:31
Cc many times do i have to repeat myself he did is the celtic game Matondo right Sakala left fasle 9 central.


17.) 22 Jun 2023 10:29:32
Very very boring going over things daily with cc.


18.) 22 Jun 2023 10:34:13
Other way about even.


19.) 22 Jun 2023 10:38:33
We never played with wingers beale, MB doesn't play with the traditional winger role. You constantly change your tune?.


20.) 22 Jun 2023 10:54:01
Sakala was in a central area of the pitch when he scored, surely if he was the traditional winger role he would be wide hugging the touchline? Just using your own logic against you beale?‍♂️.


21.) 22 Jun 2023 11:21:23
??????????.


22.) 22 Jun 2023 11:24:43
My take. Wingers in the old sense are deployed in a 442. In the modern sense playing with wide players means you can play with wingers but they don't have to be wingers. Laudrup was a winger but constantly had the freedom to move around. He also wasn't the fastest as Robertson was faster. Against Celtic we played with 2 wide players with pace to get in behind with a midfielder offering support basically Cantwell running about like a blue arse fly.

This brings me on to my next point. If that's how we play, set up, why bring in out and out strikers. against Celtic we had Cantwell Raskin, Lundstrum and Jack. 2 wide players. No striker. we won 3-0. get we need a plan B or a plan C. Thoughts.


23.) 22 Jun 2023 11:49:56
I agree to a certain extent Windy, as I have said before my take is even tho we lined up 433 on paper if you watched how we played cantwell dropped as a false 9 which left sakala and matondo as a front two. So we were playing 4312 41212 essentially. Sakala and matondo movement would go wide or central obviously depending on passage of play. This forced celtic to sit deep which allowed our full backs to play higher and provide more of our width.

I also think, as you say we are bringing in out and out strikers is because MB intends to play this way.


24.) 22 Jun 2023 12:04:01
Great conversation. But back to the point. Benie Traore. Is he a target?


25.) 22 Jun 2023 12:32:11
Man this is tiresome!

In FIFA terms MB doesn't play a RW amd a LW - like Celtic did under Ange.

He seems to favour playing a combination of 1, 2 or 3 'inverted' forwards behind a Striker (s) - in FIFA Terms LCF, CF or RCF.

Obviously throughout the course of a game we will have players out wide when there is space - however we don't line up with players hugging the touchline.

Sooner we get some friendlies the better.


26.) 22 Jun 2023 12:54:24
Storm I totally agree

We don't play with wingers ? what a stupid statement that is.


27.) 22 Jun 2023 13:07:20
Spot on ehl???.


28.) 22 Jun 2023 13:40:53
This is absolutely boring now trudging through threads of this every time you come on. can yous not just ignore each other instead of needing to get the last word in to feel you are right. Absolutely ruining the site.


29.) 22 Jun 2023 14:28:30
HErewego, this is one particular individual plan and has been for two years, can’t believe Ed 1 is allowing it again.


30.) 22 Jun 2023 15:35:10
As much as coldo has history john, and I've had a few run ins with him myself, he's far from the only one to blame here. Easy to just blame him the 2 of them are best just ignoring each other.


31.) 22 Jun 2023 16:55:20
Herewe I know, however I totally ignor coldo.


32.) 22 Jun 2023 20:34:21
I was original poster, can't believe a simple question about whether I'd missed something about Bennie Traore turned into such a slanging match
??.


33.) 22 Jun 2023 22:31:54
Baz Sorry mate, he just burst my baws, cool now tho done with him.


34.) 22 Jun 2023 23:39:18
It's cool Beale, can't remember if people though there was a chance of Traore coming or not now. On the plus side, I've been schooled on the dynamic formations of an organic squad. every cloud.

07 Apr 2024 14:54:22
I'll take a draw after 1st half, feels like a win especially after their 3rd. Thought Sterling was great playing on the wrong side.
Wind a massive factor in both halves, Tav thought it was going right through to Butland in 1st minute.
Thought Dessers was great personally, the more I see him the more I like him. Lawrence didn't get close enough to Dessers in first half so he was on his own a bit. Great advert for the game, all in all.

Bazbear73

1.) 07 Apr 2024 16:24:21
Thought Sterling was great? He was bang average and his sloppy pass lead to the first goal. He looked liked a player playing on the wrong side and cut back or infield constantly. Not his fault but the balance of the side was all wrong.


2.) 07 Apr 2024 17:02:44
Baz tell me what was 'great' about dessers? the front 3 were all rank rotten as was tav and Lawrence, credit to the team that we kept going and got a point but we got away with one today, game should've been over before half time, not sure how maeda stays on,3 fouls after getting a yellow, and our penalty was a penalty, soft but the right decision, an almost identical situation to lawrence foul on iwata, soft but the right decision unfortunately.


3.) 07 apr 2024 17:06:06
i agree scotty, all wrong first half

but tav was criminal.


4.) 07 Apr 2024 17:49:07
Scotty, I thought sterling did great playing on completely wrong side doing a hard job, an I'm thinking the boss thought the same keeping him on, he kept their rw quiet. As for dessers, unlucky not to score with the disallowed goal, on his own for most of the first but looked decent second half, Jack boy. I'm cool with you disagreeing but it's all about opinions, I like the boy.


 

 

30 Mar 2024 09:13:52
Not sure if i got this right, but Kevin Denkey who is a target of ours is now soaring in value, looking like Bruge want 20m euros for him and Tottenham sniffing about, shame.

Bazbear73

1.) 30 Mar 2024 09:19:17
If that is true, then we have no chance. Was he ever a realistic target?


2.) 30 Mar 2024 10:04:21
He was our no1 target in Jan but that ship has sailed he’s now moved a few tiers above in market.


3.) 30 Mar 2024 11:13:23
Yes baz he has certainly moved out our price range, a pity but that’s life.


 

 

12 Mar 2024 11:11:55
So lunny deal stalled apparently, a few things for me, 1- the way we've been dealing with things, we only find out when things done so rumour mills probably wrong, 2- if it had stalled, so be it lundstrum has been great under PC but not so good for a year previous,
So if he wanted to try pastures new, i'd have faith in replacing him and he'd leave with my best wishes.
Overall i think he'll realise how good he's got it here and be keen on signing a new contract.

Bazbear73

1.) 12 Mar 2024 12:54:35
He has been great since pc but if he doesn’t sign we move on.


2.) 12 Mar 2024 13:13:58
I posted yesterday that I heard at work:-
Rangers offered him the same terms he's on.
Lundstram wants a wee bit more ( heard it's not outrageous ) .
Stalemate. Then we move on and it frees up a big wage for someone else who wants to play for The Famous.


3.) 12 Mar 2024 18:07:23
Lundstram does want to play for us, he's made that clear. If its not outrageous then we have to pay it, he's worth it.


4.) 12 Mar 2024 18:16:26
If lunny signs it will be because no one wants him. Our fans said this about Goldson son for long enough.


5.) 12 Mar 2024 18:42:10
Lundstram would have many clubs interested in him, did Goldson have any Raskin?


6.) 13 Mar 2024 10:30:58
If Lunny signs then it will be because we have offered him a deal he wants. He has already said he doesn't want to leave, forget other clubs.


 

 

03 Mar 2024 15:55:29
Who'd have thought that not buying Shankland, could have helped us win tge league if we do, man of the match today ?.

Bazbear73

1.) 03 Mar 2024 16:11:09
? but if we had bought Shanlkland he would have scored at least twice against Motherwell yesterday if he had Dessers chances so it would be immaterial.


2.) 03 Mar 2024 16:25:34
I'd put barasic left back and move ridvan up on left side hindsight is a great thing tho.


3.) 03 Mar 2024 16:30:44
Lol, Agent Shankland, it's time to come in from the cold.


4.) 03 Mar 2024 16:52:55
He might have scored today, but I was cursing him when he couldn't hold his line for the one that got chopped of. He's the best finisher in the SPL, that's for sure!


5.) 03 Mar 2024 17:03:59
Sorry Laudrup no can do, not sure if you missed it but a few in here told him not to step over that white line again for us!


6.) 03 Mar 2024 17:16:38
Laudrup, with all our wide players injured you could have a point there mate and i'll add this suggestion to it ?You stated to give us width on the left to play barisic at left back with yilmaz in front of him at wide left ?My addition to that on the other side would be to play sterling at right back and tav in front of him, wide right ? Just a thought because all our wide players are out injured ?.


7.) 03 Mar 2024 17:36:32
Whatever problems we have BB isn't going to help. Its a big NO from me.


8.) 03 Mar 2024 17:46:05
BB is a really poor player, he has no positional sense don't know how many the other mob gave scored from him no following or losing his man, most of his passes are back the way, his crossing which is his best attribute hasn't been upto much past season or 2. Ridvan offers so much more and his crossing his hitting the mark more often than not.


9.) 03 Mar 2024 17:50:46
Scott Wright injured, coops?


10.) 03 Mar 2024 17:52:08
As soon as you mentioned Barisic starting, your post was worthless, Laudrup. Did you see him against Killie?


11.) 03 Mar 2024 18:00:57
More said let him go with our best wishes Sollof, been a great servant.


12.) 03 Mar 2024 18:19:46
Absolutely no to Bombscare Barasic.


13.) 03 Mar 2024 19:00:30
The Seeker, scott wright is not injured to my knowledge mate, but has had plenty of opportunities under clement and has been really poor TBH mate, so that's my reason for overlooking him ?.


14.) 03 Mar 2024 19:02:49
Guys with ridvan in front of him we still have good cover it was only a suggestion as mcausland out there is a no no.


15.) 03 Mar 2024 19:28:37
Gentle reminder that Borna set up the goal in the cup final this season.

He's not anywhere near as bad as most make out.


16.) 03 Mar 2024 19:37:56
No barisic please, we are trying to win the league.


17.) 03 Mar 2024 20:45:05
Wright never has been, nor will be good enough for us. I don't know why he was signed, he wasn't even a regular in the Aberdeen team.


18.) 03 Mar 2024 21:11:21
If we play Yilmaz wide left I'd prefer Sterling at lb.


19.) 03 Mar 2024 21:14:03
What a fickle bunch we are, Borna has slipped down in his form recently, "don't cross the line" "bombscare barasic""trying to win the league" guy absolutely loves being a ger, fantastic servant and player that time has caught up with, short memories of some fantastic crucial assists, he can leave with his head held hi and this gers best wishes. Being treated like stray dug by some?.

I believe Yilmaz would play lw far better than Sterling can do on the other side, but Sterling needs played, preferably cm.

Correct mark.

So the boss doesn't know what he's doing then, coops?

Just a note on the fans, superb, stuck by the team even when the dons came back, that's what we need and that's what got us over the line bravo.

I rate Butland highly, but I doubt we get 15-20m for a keeper playing in Scotland, I'm afraid
10-12 max I'd say. Looking at a keeper playing in Belgium for the 4m mark, leaves some money to buy a striker and ch.

Like Lunny, but I've constantly heard he ups his game as contract running out, suppose that's normal but I'd have liked to see him perform more like he has in last few months over his whole tenure, got a feeling well come to a deal as PC likes him, maybe meet in the middle, TBF it is his last big contract.

I'd hope to keep him for a few years but we'd struggle to knock back big money offers, it would make sense. It'll likely come down to the players, think he loves it here.

Feel it's more likely to be Denkey.

Fair enuf bigdado, I'm torn with Lunny, heard a few times he ups his game around contract renewal, but he's second guy on the teamsheet at moment.

Great first post, very interesting. Couple of bigger money signings really are idealist views but a couple of good affordable players in there too, interesting summer.

Agree Bluefloyd, he can't rip them apart on camera, when he needs them with him for the run in, sure he's firm but supportive of his players and knows that they all know only a handful of them will be there next year.

Yeh, I agree Sir Walt, said as much in a reply post a few days ago . I'm not saying Tav is a world class defender but put a solid RCH, and a fit Ryan Jack in beside diomande and you'll see a different team. Unfortunately RJ will never be season fit again so we need to identify someone and I'm sure PC and Koppen can do that.
That said, Tav was poor last night by his own standards, Lundstrum has went back to his old form and Silva and cantwell not looking great. I'd give Sima leeway as coming back from injury and I thought McCausland made a slight difference. Think I might play Ross wide right, Matondi wide left and Sima either 10 or thru middle.

Fair play everyone, I've already agreed he's not an amazing defender but he's a wing back not a full back and every manager including PC has used his strengths and not tried to replace him. When he scored goals for fun in europa knockouts, everyone was loving him, and in the tiny spell he was out injured in the last 9 years, everyone was crying out for him to come back and all would be OK. I'm not his cheerleader, I'm just saying get some perspective, just over a year ago I can count numerous people saying Lewis Ferguson was nowhere near Rangers class, now everyone coming out of the woodwork about what a disaster it was us not signing him. Itll be the same with Shankland if we don't win the league yet there were more on here saying he's not up to the job than sign him. If we're looking at people overall in the squad who haven't pulled their weight, I roukdnt be putting Tav anywhere near the top of the list.

I get where you're coming from TT and it's a fair point, but I'd be interested to see how he'd do with a dominating centre mid and a CH who can head a ball and mark a runner.
