Dodoo, Bates and Beerman to go out on loan to get first team football.
1.) 31 Aug 2017 12:58:03
Can see beerman, and dodoo going however i think we will keep Bates as cover.
2.) 31 Aug 2017 15:09:35
I have read bates is to go out on long I think that would be a good idea but if that happens we will need to sign another centre back as that will only leave us with 3
3.) 31 Aug 2017 15:26:23
Bates even for cover is not the answer and neither is having Wilson there. As for carduso, am struggling to see any positives in the guy, Karl svennson all over again. Long season moaning about defending again I'm afraid.
02 May 2017 13:57:09
John Ruddy been released from Norwich, surely must go for someone's like him also Steven Whittaker is a better option than tav and hodson. Kyle lafferty been released as well, wonder who he'll end up at
1.) 02 May 2017 14:21:44
Not for me
2.) 02 May 2017 14:23:12
Need to find better players than this
3.) 02 May 2017 15:20:32
I'd take John ruddy. Good experienced keeper to push Wes and improve him. The other 2 can bolt. Quite fancy taking the boy jack from Aberdeen. Sure he is out of contract at the end of the season.
4.) 02 May 2017 16:31:13
Why would we want rejects of a team that isn't even challenging for the top of the championship? We need younger players with potential
5.) 02 May 2017 16:55:35
I would want better but we have to be realistic
I would take all three mind you it would mean having to get shot of a keeper and I think both are decent keepers its more about the roasters in front of them
Shopping at Norwich is going to be better than shopping at Accrington Stanley so it would be an improvement
It would help us challenge for second but not for the title in my opinion
I'm not overly fussed about their past issues as the situation was a mess - Just remember Kenny Miller went to them and I think we have all forgiven him for that
6.) 02 May 2017 17:05:33
well said Stu-is-Blu
7.) 02 May 2017 17:14:35
Whittaker is a donkey
8.) 02 May 2017 17:17:00
We can't knock back players like whittaker and lafferty, especially if they are free.
9.) 02 May 2017 18:43:55
The truth is, no mater how much we might not like it, is that both Lafferty and Whittaker are better than most of what we currently have.
10.) 02 May 2017 20:02:13
Wee-Ecky you and me are prob better than what we have.
11.) 02 May 2017 20:15:29
Better than what we have doesn't mean they're good players though. These players might help us get 2nd but we'd still be miles away from Celtic who are going to spend money in the summer and be even stronger next season
12.) 02 May 2017 23:25:36
I find it interesting reading these comments. For example, Mike: where to you seriously think the money is coming from to sign better players than the ones named? We have about £4/ 5 mil max to spend on players this summer (and that's digging deep) . We'll be lucky to get 1/ 2 good championship players and the rest average.
13.) 02 May 2017 23:52:47
Where do people think the money is going to come from to give Pedro his budget to get the players that he is after. We have players who are signed to the club until 2020, do you think these players are going to get bought by other clubs, or go for lesser wages, we will be stuck with a lot of these players, who is going to buy them.
14.) 03 May 2017 04:34:59
no one knows how much money we have!
but we can guess from our boards lack of chat and confidence it will be very little
a few of my mates have the feeeling celtic will achieve ten in a row.
we should stop pressuring pedro and take our time and buy the right people, use celtics model. only difference is no one with potential is interested in joining us, we can offer europa that's about it.
now john ruddy i would take but- why would he come here? i'm sure he will want one last pay day which we can't offer.
lets invest in youth properly this time.
15.) 03 May 2017 08:07:12
@bruno3. We need to be finding young talent with a sell on value. Buying old duds on inflated wages will cost considerably more. Naismisth won't be playing for peanuts
16.) 03 May 2017 09:07:12
Whittaker is off to hibs.
17.) 03 May 2017 09:16:15
I definitely heard we're actively trying to sign 2 players from norwich city, ie. graham dorrans and james maddison! As long as its not they deserters, stevie naismith and big hen broon (kyle lafferty)!
18.) 03 May 2017 09:35:59
Lets aim to get in front of the sheep before contemplating challenging the eastend mob for the league title! We have to walk before we can run! These are the hard facts for us bears to accept, but nonetheless, true!
19.) 03 May 2017 10:57:49
Supercoop hope your right about Maddison I really rate the boy . Done well for sheep and showed he can hack it up here.
30 Aug 2016 17:10:57
Mariappa signed for Watford today so at least that rumours clear.
1.) 30 Aug 2016 19:46:26
And one more quality centre back disappears! But never mind we still have Hill!
08 Aug 2016 09:25:34
Don't think anything in this but 'warburtons army' on Twitter made a tweet to kyle lafferty saying "Right you. Get yer agent on the phone and get yer arse up here. " And he favourited and retweeted it, quite weird for a football player to do that unless he obviously would love to come back, just thought I'd tell you bears.
1.) 08 Aug 2016 09:32:50
Of course he would love to come back. He's openly said he would love to come back but he doesn't think the fans would want him.
2.) 08 Aug 2016 10:35:55
naw he is mince and no better than what we have at the moment but if that game doesn't tell us we need a quality cb and a good striker I don't know hat does.
3.) 08 Aug 2016 10:36:25
Lafferty, Naismith, McGregor and Whittaker, the 4 rats, never be welcomed back.
4.) 08 Aug 2016 11:39:07
I would take Naismith, McGregor and possibly Lafferty back in a heartbeat. Yes they walked away when the club was crumbling but would you do the same to you company. Yes rangers are more than a football club but these guys had already went months without wages and no one knew where the club stood. Naismith and Shagger are a far higher standard of any the players we currently have and Lafferty is no worse than some of the players we have got.
5.) 08 Aug 2016 11:47:12
benny i agree with you on both lafferty and macgregor but naismith should never be allowed back in the g51 postcode never mind our club after publicly slating the club after he left.
6.) 08 Aug 2016 11:55:20
Aw boys not this subject again jeez let's get over it and move on yeh.?
7.) 08 Aug 2016 12:15:47
He would have to try curry favour within fan base see what reaction there was to it personally I would hate him to come back think it would be a backwards move.
8.) 08 Aug 2016 12:25:37
Eezyeez, I'm with you.
For the final time from me, these boys are Rangers through and through.
Should I say Rangers till they die!
Just like us.
I was at a wedding in Ireland and a guy I spoke to went out with Laff's sister. When I told him I was a Rangers man he was right on the text to Laff's and he replied I was to start a petition to get him back😀. That was in beginning of July just after the Euros. Give the boys peace for goodness sake. 😊.
9.) 08 Aug 2016 12:42:43
I think if Lafferty was to come back he would try harder than he did before, as he's had a taste of other teams and now knows Rangers is the team to be at! and he knows he would have to work hard to turn the fans back on his side. I think it would be a good signing and a win win for both parties.
10.) 08 Aug 2016 12:42:47
Lafferty - waste of space and big trouble. Naismith - we saw him through 2 career threatening injuries and he buggers off without a care and slags us off. McGregor - too busy shagging everything that moves to get himself fit.
Other guys did things the right way. Bocanegra, Edu, Goian, Bedoya, McCulloch, Wallace etc etc. Why couldn't these no marks do the right thing?
11.) 08 Aug 2016 14:53:51
They couldn't do the right thing because of greed, simple as that. Easier to deal with a free agent and a much bigger signing on fee that goes with it. It's nothing to do with walking away because nobody really expected those players to stay but shldve done the right thing and transferred their contracts like the decent guys done especially if they are "diehard rangers through and through" like has been mentioned. Rats.
12.) 08 Aug 2016 15:58:16
I think with our situation waggy out for weeks raw striker in dodo, miller being used sparingly I would welcome lafferty back, he`s hopefully put his stupidity to bed, and is a finisher just what we are crying out for. If he dons the blue jersey I`m behind him, whatsmore he wants to come and play for the club a big plus point so I say give him 1 year contract to see how it pans out.
We could be facing celtic 6 times this season and I think he would be an asset. cheers.
13.) 08 Aug 2016 16:15:37
i don't blame any of our top players that left when they did as they are better than where rangers where going to be playing for the next few years and didn't even know if we would survive as a club. I don't want to go for all these guys but I would take naisy as he would improve our team but laffetry is p*sh rotten and wouldn't want him back ever.
if we where to be looking at bringing people back then why not bougy won't ask a lot of money and has to be ten times the defender that anything we have at the moment! plus he wants to come back and end his career here! he was a good player for us unlike that lafferty who some people think would be our saviour this year! lmfao.
14.) 08 Aug 2016 16:18:48
rick witter i have to say i don't agree not only from my point of view where the money would have went straight into the theifs pockets but their perspective aswell naisy got a better move because he was a free agent.
15.) 08 Aug 2016 16:20:25
I think EEZYEEZ is bang on! this whole "rat " scenario needs to be forgotten about, its boring to say the least!
I certainly now that if my current employer was not paying me I would have no problem telling him to ram it and I'd go and find someone else who was willing to pay my bills!
16.) 08 Aug 2016 17:35:32
And if the players stayed and we did receive money for them we wouldn't have seen a penny.
17.) 08 Aug 2016 18:20:19
Totally irrelevant what would have happened to the money because they didn't do what they did because they knew what was going to happen to the club over the next 3 years. If that was the case then why did a lot of the other guys not do the same? They did it because they wanted to line their pockets with as much money as they could and make it easier for potential clubs by not having a transfer fee to pay and in that way they get a bigger signing on fee. So just to reiterate, the 4 rats.
18.) 08 Aug 2016 18:37:05
We don't know what happened behind the scenes, I met mcgregor when out shopping in hull and he said he wishes he was still at rangers.
19.) 08 Aug 2016 20:05:06
So we are forgetting the goals that laff and naisy scored us when at the club or the save Mcgregor made along with the years of graft he gave before being number 1; every single man here has slagged the clubs running off at some point in the last 5 years, sure he didn't need to go public but naisy along with the others are Rangers through and through - I'm sure leaving hurt them even more than it hurt us. I'd welcome them all back.
20.) 10 Aug 2016 23:50:56
Lafferty, Naismith, mcgregor and Whittaker in my eyes deserted the club that made them. My club. They are not welcome.
Davis, Bocanegra and Goian all hung on as long as they could, even got money for Davis!
I'll bet that all the deserters regret the choice they made cause there's no place like ibrox to ply your trade. Losers.
21.) 08 Aug 2016 13:42:31
Lafferty would do the job guys we lack someone like him up top with waggy out we definitely need someone with a bit of quality scores goal in big games, give him a year to show what he can do with the option of an extension of warbs could get the best out of him then we'll a good player.
22.) 08 Aug 2016 15:24:29
Naismith was poached by Davie Weir.
23.) 08 Aug 2016 17:07:42
The only 4 who done Rangers wrong were the 3 who did the interview, , none of us have been in their position, the were young talented players with a lucrative career ahead, they aldo had huge mortgages, bills, etc, they're outgoings will have been far more than ours, that's the lifestyle young players lead, not saying they were right, but they knew a lot more than we did, and they knew that any money coming in was going straight into the gangsters accounts, anyone who doesn't realise this is not interested in truth, just what they think, having never had this sort of choice to make.
Tommy.
05 Jul 2016 00:12:16
Rangers are looking at taking Serge Atakayi on trial. He's a 17 year old winger who had a trial with Leicester and Fulham this season, looks like one for the future and most likely one for the reserves for at least a year or two. Also the American CB is looking likely to sign as DW spoke wonders of him saying he is getting on great.
1.) 05 Jul 2016 11:46:15
just an out and out striker then hopefully we get money for this one and can get the right guy in to make dembelle signing look less scary. and for those who doubt he will be a hit u need to watch that boy play he will go to the very top of the game.
2.) 05 Jul 2016 19:31:39
Is that American striker, Adu still in the frame? I think was his name.

Christophe Berra? Can't only be me who thinks that that would be a good signing. Knows Scottish football, Scotland international and only 32.
1.) 09 May 2017 13:00:13
I wouldn't be particularly inspired by his signing but I wouldn't be too upset. Solid enough
2.) 09 May 2017 13:02:50
Only 32? A spring chicken compared to Hill. A Scotland international is hardly a ringing endorsement these days. We've got to be thinking along better lines than this.
3.) 09 May 2017 14:24:00
I think he'd be better than what we have at the moment
4.) 09 May 2017 14:42:27
Souness I think you would be better than we had at the moment
5.) 09 May 2017 14:45:53
Berry is a desperate signing and proves we ain't got any money. Davie king beat it. As for david murray are you for real? The guy sold us for a pound to someone he knew was going put us into administration.
6.) 09 May 2017 19:20:05
Signing players is not about proving you having money, its about creating a team, and Berra would be a good addition to our squad for next season on a free, which is sensible, considering we actually don't have much money and our financial situation is tender to say the least.
10 Feb 2017 13:52:14
Souness as manager and Barry Ferguson as assistant or coach, needs guys like this in the team who knows how big a club rangers are.
1.) 10 Feb 2017 14:11:58
no thanks.
2.) 10 Feb 2017 14:16:55
Souness, yes, ferguson no, no, no,
3.) 10 Feb 2017 14:21:10
Barry ferguson is exactly the type of person we need in that dressing room, but I would have billy Davies with Barry as his assistant, but that's my opinion.
4.) 10 Feb 2017 14:48:31
Interesting comments guys! I take it you've just read jonny mcfarlane's blog on the daily record there. He made some great points saying graeme souness as director of football, with a head coach under him. Similar to the hearts model with craig levein and ian cathro!
That would have been a good one for us ie. graeme souness director of football with ian cathro as head coach under him! I even wonder how it would work with keeping mark warburton and appointing him head coach as opposed to manager and making graeme souness director of football, to work with warbs!
It would take a helluva weight off warbs shoulders! I'm going to throw a name left field here that i think would work superbly well as a rangers head coach under a director of football, like graeme souness, what about tugay as rangers head coach?
5.) 10 Feb 2017 15:16:07
Souness is not going to any football team, his health couldn't stand it.
6.) 10 Feb 2017 15:21:04
Souness?
Lets work through this 63 year old, former triple bypass surgery mans dilemma:
1million a year plus from sky to sit in cosy studios to talk about the game i love
Or
Coupleof hundred grand a year to be swallowed in the glasgow goldfish bowl and all the stress and insecurities that being a rangers DOF would bring.
7.) 10 Feb 2017 17:07:57
No chance Souness is coming unless his mate Kennedy takes over - won't leave Sky and probably doesn't have the hunger anymore in any case - wouldn't be my choice.
As for Baz, great player but for me he is no where near where our manager needs to be.
8.) 10 Feb 2017 18:59:49
At the end of the day any decent manager with pedigree is going to want cash availble to buy players plus he will want a couple of mill a year himself. Rangers can't do that because at the end of the day the best they can do is come sevond so from a business point of view why would king do that? So its either mciness or another scottish manager or a young up and coming manager like ronnie delia and look whst happened there? Untill supporters start to accept that 2nd is all that's there and get off the managers back then this conversation will happen again next year.
9.) 10 Feb 2017 17:39:05
Bazza isn't ready. Souness wouldn't be interested, health problems anyway I'm sure
10.) 10 Feb 2017 18:41:50
Souness would be the 3rd worst appointment we could make in front of Davies and mcleish obviously.
02 Feb 2017 14:40:13
Don't understand how people can take positives about us still being second, second in a shite league, the lowest we'll finish would be 4th and that's with a team of nobody's, I don't think Warburton is the answer, but again who would want the job the now, just after transfer window and team is so poor. Not a Rangers team
1.) 02 Feb 2017 16:02:13
The positives are pretty obvious to me!
1 We are second in the league immediately after promotion despite little investment in the team that won us the Championship and promotion
2 We are solvent which considering our ongoing losses and recent history is a huge plus point
3 We have a manger who has a vision for the club in the future - hence persevering with a style of play and inducting the youth teams in the same style rather than solely worrying about the next result
Of course there are also negatives
We are performing poorly on the pitch but so long as we are second by the end of the year we will have a bit more cash to improve for next year
Alternatives
Plenty of folk on here are quick to criticise and point out the negatives but I rarely see any constructive alternatives being put forward that are based on reality
We could try to borrow £50m and we might win the league next year but we have learned that that is not a viable option even if we could raise the debt
We could all get down on our knees and pray for a fairy godmother or sugardaddy to smother us in riches and precocious talent with Pep or Jose to boot
I just don't see any short term fixes - whilst depressed about some of our performances and results, I firmly believe that we are on the best available trach to restore the club to the position it should be in.
2.) 02 Feb 2017 16:35:57
1. Only second because we have played a game more. Realistically we are 3rd behind a team with a fraction of our budget and in danger of slipping further at this rate.
2. Solvent but not self sufficient.
3. We have a manager with no clue. He "preserves" our style of play because he doesn't know how to change it.
3.) 02 Feb 2017 17:12:46
Couldn't have put it better lwdawson
4.) 02 Feb 2017 17:31:18
Why this obsession with money and being 2nd? We're so far bend 1st place it's an embarrassment! Our manager is inept, he's not a winner, he has constructed a team of lightweights who are not good enough! With the exception of Miller not one of them deserves to wear a Rangers shirt (MacKay still to prove his worth)
5.) 02 Feb 2017 18:20:26
Still no alternative route put forward though?
Come on gosman and iwdawson, you can be negative all day long but you need to think hard about a better solution.
There is no fairy godmother or sugardaddy waiting in the wings with a blank cheque
Pep, Jose, DeBoer etc are way above our pay potential
We have no money to invest in £5m players (who would not want to play in Scotland anyway)
Let me see your alternatives.
6.) 02 Feb 2017 21:30:22
Find a manager who'll look at our squad and play to their strengths, not one who'll try force a philosophy onto players who don't have the ability to pull it off.
7.) 03 Feb 2017 15:42:36
ive spat the dummy out and I've joined the negative nellys for a while as I think the style he is playing is great if you have the quality to play it but we don't and without serious investment we will never have it under his reign.
if u see from last year we had a poor defence he didn't do anything about it in the summer when he should have but okay he was concentrating on the middle of the park which last year was our strongest part!
then to have no defenders in the January after abysmal performances all season is just unacceptable.
there Is the reason I have spat the dummy
01 Feb 2017 01:07:41
Bring in young talent like Greg Taylor fae killie and Jason Cummings. Need to plan ahead
1.) 01 Feb 2017 11:34:41
Greg Taylor played for Rangers for a few years before going to Kilmarnock. (I played the year above him for another club)
01 Feb 2017 01:01:21
If warburton is planning for the future then why get young boys out on loan? Ma planning for the future is buying those young boys, lots of potential players under 20 that should be signed and made to develop. Give Ryan Hardie a chance and sign some youth players in Scotland as well
1.) 01 Feb 2017 11:48:11
Will people stop it with the Hardie rubbish! He can't get a game in the Championship so how is he going to help us? Use your head!
2.) 01 Feb 2017 13:45:01
I agree RFCInfinity.
Hardie, Walsh, Crawford et al just don't have that quality that we need - which is why the two latter are no longer with us.
Hardie for me never really stood out, I would much prefer a young player coming through over an import - but the quality has to be there and it can't be based on sentiment.
28 Jun 2016 00:09:45
But again I've also been told that Paddy McNair could sign on loan from Man Utd.
23 Jun 2016 23:13:52
Forfarger, I know what you mean mate but I still wouldn't take a chance on him, we almost took him in January and I think we dodged a bullet with him then and hopefully again we do this summer, simply not good enough.
23 Jun 2016 20:18:00
Wouldn't take him what so ever, scored 4 goals this season, amazing for a striker.
20 Jun 2016 19:02:26
£120k apparently, don't see why it's took this long to sort this out, shows how juvenile Accrington Stanley are.
22 May 2016 14:05:49
He's on $712k a year so works out about £9.5k a week, no way can we afford they wages.
17 Jul 2016 10:55:29
Completely disagree mate, if it was me I'd start him every game on the right wing, one of the only wingers we have who can actually put a ball in, give him a chance.
16 Jul 2016 12:27:49
I was looking forward to this season seeing some young talent but if that's what MW plans then that's fine, hopefully he even goes to another SPL team and gets game time, could be great experience for him and hopefully the 17/ 18 season he gets a turnout in the squad.
16 Jul 2016 11:24:45
I was thinking the same plus Carlos Bocanegra is like the technical director of Atlanta right now.
15 Jul 2016 13:42:06
Hopefully Joe Dodoo gets the number, was hoping Kranjcar would of got it but he was No.19 for Croatia as well.
08 Jul 2016 17:26:09
I think it must just be rumours but if not then they must remember that simply don't have to be here, yes they are talented but if they think they are bigger than the club and want more money after only proving themselves in the championship then we have others to fill those positions hit as I've said, I think it's just paper talk and I hope this isn't the case.
