Here's a thing. I've just watched the latest Cummings interview on Rangers TV and I have to admit I am impressed with the attitude of the wee so and so. Clearly he can't wait to get on the pitch and wear the blue jersey. Quite open and refreshing interview. Beginning to change my mind about him and hope he hits the road running. Loved when he said he'd be in and about the 6 yard box to tap them in. Cummings and the buffalo together could be just what we need.



23 Jan 2018 22:57:38
Morelos needs to be less greedy tho



23 Jan 2018 22:58:23
I must agree Seeker. i'm actually quite excited at the prospect of these 2 together. I grew up in an era where we had Hately and Mccoist and I've never been so excited with our potential strike pairing than i am now. These 2 could just be the tonic that we so need



24 Jan 2018 00:43:54
Never do excited than u are about a boy with everything to prove as he had 1 good season in a league where holiday and co where immense. Calm your jets pal i hope I'm wrong but I think he isn't right for us and will struggle in this league as did holiday and co



24 Jan 2018 07:34:17
I've a feeling he will do ok. Loves the big games. In any case it's a loan deal with an option to buy. He'll bust a gut to impress.



24 Jan 2018 08:06:48
The thing I like about Cummings is he can score belters, when these teams come and sit behind the ball Cummings ability to score from edge of the box should come into fruition! I hope he hits the ground running tonight!



24 Jan 2018 08:10:44
Lets give the boy a chance. And if he doesn't score a hat-trick against the sheep, it doesn't mean he's sh*te either.



23 Jan 2018 19:37:51
Greg Docherty to be at auchinhowie tomorrow to complete move



23 Jan 2018 21:02:39
Hope so EastEnd, get the lad out at half time tomorrow for an ibrox roar!



23 Jan 2018 20:47:24
Allegedly a deal has been struck for 600k with compromise being a sell on clause. Medical tomoro and hopefully confirmed before KO



23 Jan 2018 19:34:59
Anyone heard the docherty deal has been thrashed out? 600 k?



23 Jan 2018 16:52:17
As I understand it, our new signings are primarily an attempt to improve the attitude in the dressing room. To offer a better player choice, absolutely, but primarily attitude. For the last few seasons we have lacked the ability to come back from behind, lacked the bottle to pull our sleeves up and drag the game back.
Souness used to say, show me a good loser, and I'll show you a loser. Well that's the crux, we've needed some mettle in there, let's hope it works as Murts intends.



23 Jan 2018 20:36:32
Same as golf. The most important distance is the 6 inches between the ears



23 Jan 2018 20:49:37
I'm sure we've one of the best points records coming from behind.

Can never have too much quality. Bench was thread bare December.



23 Jan 2018 21:11:10
You’re spot on. After watching Cummings’ press conference today it shows he’s the type of galas confident player we’ve been crying out for.



23 Jan 2018 14:13:08
Hello Fellow Teddy Bears,

First time poster here but an avid reader of the page so I though it's about time I post something to contribute to the talking points.
Firstly I am just back from my holidays in Gran Canaria so "Bonjour" to you all. The weather was great thanks. As I probably know most of you were wondering what it was like. Well it was a steady 18 for the two weeks I was there.

I think the underlying problem is we are signing players who would never ever get near a Loan Rangers Jersey because we have not got the finances. To be honest probably Dorrans is the only player that would get into a Loan Rangers team from the past and that would still be on the subs bench along with Tonto.

We need to think outside the box on how we can raise more capital to invest in better players by utilising the facilities we already have in place.
For example the kitchen / canteen could be open from 7am until 10pm daily and we could do a food delivery service on the Just Eat app.

We could also register the players through an entertainment company to do guest appearances at night clubs like what Joey from Essex does. And we could give Mexican language courses for anyone who wants to learn Mexican.

This is just two ideas off the top of my head. imagine if we sat down around the camp fire and really thought about it, we could generate lots of Hi-Yo, Silver every month and that could mean we could sign better Mexican players. We might even be able to sign a Mexican player that some of us have heard of!

My point is we need to raise the cash, pontoon tickets, scratch cards, discos, car boot sales. Anyone else got anything else that could integrate into my solution for raising more capital?

Tchau Kemo sabe (my attempt at Brazilian).



23 Jan 2018 14:35:16
A few ideas from me -

1. We start to charge sad celtic fans with nothing worthwhile to fill their days to view and comment on Rangers forums. Seems to me business would be booming, a few quid a month and by my calculations our transfer kitty would be huge!

3. Donate Rodney / Loan Rangers / whatever guff name he thinks up next brain for scientific research. Only issue of this would be payment would most likely be based on size / weight so we would probably only get about a quid.



23 Jan 2018 14:46:16
Rodney Peckham I shouldn't laugh, but I couldn't help it. 😂😂😂 it was the canteen open 7am to 10pm that got me. Decent effort lol.



23 Jan 2018 15:11:08
Pretty funny to be fair 🤣 definitely need to get yourself a hobby though. Get outside and get some fresh air it's not good to be sitting inside in your pants eating cheetos all day.



23 Jan 2018 15:10:04
Rodney, as delboy would say, you are a plonker



23 Jan 2018 16:27:37
Rodney how much of your day did you spend trying to think that up or are you like the rest of the unwashed always thinking about rangers noticed your first sentence started with hello fellow teddy bears - you wish you plonker.



23 Jan 2018 16:34:06
Looks like Jackanory has got fed up with the notorious bigot in a suit stories and has reincarnated himself as a bluenose under the guise of RP. 🙉🙈🐵



23 Jan 2018 17:25:44
Rodney peckham have you tried stand up because you're funny! Not!
And anyone who wants to learn Mexican? That would be Spanish! And Brazilians speak Portuguese so judging by your spew you would be 1 of them! Adios amigo 😁.



23 Jan 2018 19:05:17
rodney isn't tuesday your giro day think you have drank too much fairy liquid at the chemist today



23 Jan 2018 19:08:48
Jay Jay think it was a dog at the Rangers fans speaking Brazilian 🤦🏼‍♂️



23 Jan 2018 19:30:53
Rodney peckham gee what is it with you and only fools we have had del. boy trigger etc to from you don't forget nagshead boycie casandra lovely jublie the devils child damion uncle albert grampa he who dares mickey jevon etc need i go on go get a life instead of spouting rubbish and disrespecting one of my fav tv programs



24 Jan 2018 08:46:05
Rodney, shut up you tart



23 Jan 2018 13:43:40
I honestly think the Alves 'agreed' Benevento deal is BS by the papers.

Why would he go to an Italian team destined for relegation for less money than he is on now?

I'd imagine he would actually have a better chance of the World Cup staying where he is.

(For the record, I think he has been dung for how much he is costing us in wages, just creating a discussion) .



23 Jan 2018 14:01:26
Well they have put out his stats for the 13 games he has played for us today and they are very impressive so he can not be that bad I personally think he has been decent and a little unlucky with these injuries but he is clearly by far the best defender at the club I hope he stays.



23 Jan 2018 14:49:32
Alves is not going back to Italy. He is sick of eating Pizza.



23 Jan 2018 15:01:10
Can't see alves getting near the Portugal team. been a disappointment so far.



23 Jan 2018 15:12:24
Where did you see the stats Deanobear?

I doubt doubt them as all, I'd genuinely just like to see them, i'm a sucker for a statistic haha. Is it that stats zone page?

I'm not saying he's a bad player, not at all, I just mean I don't feel he's been worth the 30k a week.



23 Jan 2018 15:58:49
It was on a daily record page today saying about why we should keep him and had his stats on a pie chart and compared to Christoph Berra his stats for tackles won headers won and interseptions are all better than Berra so far this season and yet Berra has been classed as a great summer signing Alves a flop. Think it was Alves wins 70% of defenceive duels and 82% aerial duels and 6.6 interseptions per game that is not bad at all.



23 Jan 2018 20:49:32
It’s a financial gamble to tell him he won’t be first choice but he needs to play.



23 Jan 2018 08:27:01
When rossiter is fit and playing it would be like a new singing. I just keep thinking this so far has been a good window. If we had these players at the start of the season we would have more points. I just hope we can get close to them by the end of the season. Maybe next season have a slim chance of stopping them.



23 Jan 2018 10:17:40
Is Jamie Murphy Martin and Cummings really going to make us that much better? I can see us being slightly better yes but some people are getting way to carried away with these few signings all of them were not getting games at there current clubs which is why we got the deals done quickly yet you would think we had made some shroud deals and top signings and a superstar in Jason Cummings according to some people.



23 Jan 2018 10:28:53
@deanobear, have a day off. You are like a broken record same nonsense over and over.



23 Jan 2018 11:30:29
I think they are better than what was there before the transfer window opened and that we have competition for places which should help drive on the others to be more consistent.



23 Jan 2018 11:33:01
Who should we have signed that would take us to the level you expect deano? You are more or less suggesting that these players are not any good because they did not play at their current clubs. We don't have the financial muscle to cherry pick teams best players. What is it that you want?



23 Jan 2018 12:04:30
I think the signings are very good, but just as important will be the return of Dorrans, Jack, McCrorie and Wallace to the squad after injury (is Jack injured? ) .



23 Jan 2018 13:17:43
Deanobear I get where your coming from as we have had our hopes dashed a lot recently although I believe we can have a good 2 half to season and get 2nd wrapped up and a wee Scottish cup run (win) whilst reducing the points gap between us and them, then look to next season to mount a serious title challenge.



23 Jan 2018 13:44:44
Deanobear we always seem to be hopeful after a transfer window, recent experience shows we shouldn't get carried away because it has went belly up soon afterwards. Does anyone know for a fact if we have option to buy on all the loan deals because what concerns me is if we do have a good second half of the season will the board produce the funds to sign these players permanently? If they don't and these players go back to their parent clubs then we are back to square one! I read somwhere that we had a 600k option to buy on Cummings and that QPR are not interested in selling Goss but of course I don't know how accurate these reports are!



23 Jan 2018 14:13:16
Caldo I understand that's the market we need to look at and think we will improve over the second half of the season but to say we have done GREAT business and we are going to be loads better cracking players singned stuff like that is just over the top to say we have done outstanding business this window signing championship teams cast offs is a little OTT is it not? After all Jason Cummings Russle Martin are players the likes of Aberdeen hearts hibs could get on loan if they really wanted to.



23 Jan 2018 13:53:22
I actually remember people on here saying David goodwillie was going be a great signing years ago when ally wanted to waste 3 million on him.



23 Jan 2018 16:29:02
Why didn't they get them on loan then deano? Cummings martin murphy are a massive step up. If you can't see that or expect better then I ask you once again, who should we have signed?



23 Jan 2018 08:16:05
DR reporting Wigan interested in signing Rossiter. I don't why with his injury record but if they make a sensible bid shouldn't we cash in?



23 Jan 2018 09:23:34
What would be a sensible bid?



23 Jan 2018 10:57:54
Given the madness in the transfer market, £1 million minimum?



23 Jan 2018 12:44:25
5 ginger bottles lol



23 Jan 2018 13:54:49
How can we possibly ask for a transfer fee? The guys done nothing and we should gladly get him off the wa he Bill if a club are daft enough to take him from us.



23 Jan 2018 06:06:54
Neven Subotic is a top class CB altho he's had a few bad months still only 29 with plenty of champions league experience this guy is well worth 3M I remember watching him play against real Madrid and Malaga if Celtic get him it's a major coup . A year ago he was a regular in the Dortmund team I'm fearful they have a good player if this goes throu.



23 Jan 2018 07:36:45
Yep good player.



23 Jan 2018 08:21:29
Not 100% bit did Celtic not come out and rubbish these rumours.



23 Jan 2018 09:04:49
why are we discussing the mhanks
