wondering if we should maybe look into the possibility of snatching a few players from the teams who look destined to be relegated to the championship at the end of the season, what's your thoughts on some of these guys?
John o'shea
Lee cattermole
Jordan rhodes
Sebastian larsson
Victor anichebe
(all out of contract in june)
i'll admit some of these guys would be much more difficult to acquire than others due to wages etc but i think this is an avenue we should explore to bring in some good quality players that would allow us to compete next season, some of these guys could rather come to come to a big team like rangers than play in the championship.

no offense, but there's a reason why these players are going down.
I think the club are hugely capable of aiming way higher in terms of quality players
13 Apr 2017 19:22:09
Did rhodes not sign for sheffield wednesday?
13 Apr 2017 19:24:59
Did rhodes not just move in jan from boro for like 9 million?
13 Apr 2017 19:26:03
Well out of our budget. Any player dropping from the premier league to championship will command at least 30k a week in wages. Jordan rhodes is valued at 9 million for example.
13 Apr 2017 20:02:55
I would take everyone of they players as true blue says they would help us to challenge as they have played at a decent level but again wages is the stumbling block.
13 Apr 2017 20:26:17
We need to produce our own, not a chance could we pay the wages. We need to get real.
13 Apr 2017 20:37:36
Everyone of them players would walk into our team. We're you not on earlier on ajax talking about some aussie that no one has ever heard off! I would hazard a guess that Rhodes and anichebe are better strikers than the aussie.
13 Apr 2017 21:18:13
hooly78, true but the aussie has scored more goals in 2 seasons than Anichebe has manage until this day. Do we really want to go for a player that would scored even less than Garner at a 20 to 30k weekly. As for Rhodes he is a pretty good striker, if he's determine to come with a decent wage why not!
13 Apr 2017 22:32:08
Lee cattermole is exactly the type of midfielder we're needing at rangers, without a shadow of a doubt! I would have him first and foremost, if only! Jordan rhodes would be next on my list from those players!
13 Apr 2017 22:39:03
Will Buckley on a free.
13 Apr 2017 22:40:51
It doesn't mean because they play for a team that's going down that a certain individual is useless. for example would u say no to to Jermaine Defoe because he's rock bottom of the PL?
14 Apr 2017 10:34:45
Jordan Rhodes plays for Sheff Wed now does he not? He would score goals for fun up here tho!
Wouldnt touch Cattermole or Oshea with a bargepole though and I think Anichebe is too much of a gamble for the money he'd command with his injury problems.
Seb Larrson would be a great acquisition too
14 Apr 2017 14:11:48
It saddens me when people make ridiculous comments like this I expect more of a rangers fan . leave the delusional nonsense to the manky mob.
14 Apr 2017 16:39:08
O'shea is the wrong side of 30, Larsson is bang average, Cattermole has discipline issues, Anichebe has never delivered and Rhodes left boro in Jan for a hefty fee so no chance. This is only my opinion but I'd rather see us bring in some really good domestic players and a few gems from abroad who'll demand a fraction of a wage the afore mentioned players would.
