Frank mcp says if we get the signing we're after it will eclipse everyone so far, hope this is true, wonder if that's why we've kept no.7 shirt.

25 Jul 2016 23:22:56
It's got to be van Persie,

25 Jul 2016 23:39:46
Scott Sinclair anyone?

25 Jul 2016 23:41:42
Won't be van persie.

25 Jul 2016 23:43:22
Jackie15 I'm thinking the same it has got to be RVP.

26 Jul 2016 00:17:03
Where are people hearing this 'sensational signing' info from?

26 Jul 2016 00:42:05
Lukas poldolski maybe.

26 Jul 2016 01:42:53
Again. I would love it if it was Mario gomez! That would be sensational!

26 Jul 2016 07:42:20
Hopefully it's a CB.

26 Jul 2016 10:12:23
thomas vermaelen

On loan now that Barcelona have umtitiloan with first refusal on a permanent deal he's only worth around 3to5 mill just now he's out of contract in 2019 with the Barcelona possibly brining through the boy Marlon next year they maybe looking to offload a cb they keep a squad of 27 and that's it so big Tam might surplose next year.

26 Jul 2016 10:56:27
defo can't afford his wages mate but I do hope its a centre back aswell.

26 Jul 2016 14:58:09
weird ad steven Fletcher signed for sheffield wednesday.

26 Jul 2016 22:33:03
Funny you should mention Barcelona boy, I suspect the other mob with be talking to Barcelona when they play them on Saturday, and they desperately need a centre half.

25 Jul 2016 21:41:15
Well tonight's game Barton strolled through it no end, Kranc just looks like he floats on air but my main positive is how good Rossiter looked in the 30mins he got! He put a tackle in and I know the opposition wasn't the best but he showed great urgency and he knows how to play a pass and also the most important thing he plays the right pass! Can't wait to see this lad get a full 90mins I think this boy is a steal at £250k.

25 Jul 2016 21:51:31
Wilson/ Keirnan looked as comfortable as ever with Barton in front.

Our Joey strolled it tonight. He'll stroll most games up here but his quality is there for everyone to see.

Can't wait for Hamilton.

25 Jul 2016 22:01:57
Guys really think we need to get a grip on reality. We had over 20 shots on goal and only scored 3, 1 of them a penalty. Barton was not impressive for me, he plays more sideways passes than Barry Ferguson did, . McKay? Why does he put the brakes on when he goes past even poor defenders. For me a lot of huffing and puffing to no great effect against a very poor team member
Let's hope it gets better soon?

25 Jul 2016 22:47:12
I don't want a grip on whatever reality your on bil72! The guys above are right Barton added a lot of protection to the cb's which was previously missing, rossiter likewise! Mckay wasn't as good as previous couple of games but forester more than made up for that with his energetic clever play, tavs delivery into the box was also very good.

A lot of positives to be taken even if it was against weaker opposition! We still have to go out and break these teams down.

25 Jul 2016 22:53:27


Can only beat what's in front of you! Barton and kranjkaer didn't need to come out first gear and still strolled it. I thought Barton was mom to be honest, hate guys like you, no matter what happens you'll never be happy.

25 Jul 2016 22:57:51
Bloody hell! I thought the team played well tonight and hardly had to get out of first gear. Remember most of these guys are finding their feet. As the old saying goes - you can please some of the people etc etc. But yes the lad Rossiter looks a steal. We are looking good, dare I say it!

25 Jul 2016 23:03:37
I thought Barry McKay bossed the whole game till he was taken of Fun!

25 Jul 2016 23:33:57
I was at game and thought Barton was a bit off the pace too, Mckay is great to watch and hope he goes from strenth to strenth. Stranraer are very average and the test will be when the league starts, lots of chances and ahould have had more goals but that'll come as game go on. Barton will be better as games go on too but all in all decent win! Moan the gers.

25 Jul 2016 23:46:29
Jordan Rossiter is going to be some player - I did mention him a few days ago and tinight he showed a maturity beyond his years - You can see the style of Gerrard in his play and movement - Superb signing -.

26 Jul 2016 00:47:58
Pierre, you must not have been at same game I was as Barton strolled it! In first gear I may add. Broke up play when needed, kept it simple but moving, won his tackles etc he was our best player with kranjkaer I thought, but ofcourse entitled to opinions.

26 Jul 2016 01:13:13
Didn't think Barton looked match fit and a few loose passes but his class is obvious. Thought mckay was superb. Niko oozes class too. Rossiter just slotted in to Bartons position like a glove.

26 Jul 2016 05:31:56
At the game last night and thought joey barton's passing range was very good, can't agree with a couple of the above posters that didn't think barton was good last night, although still not 100% match fit he oozed class and cruised the game and our defence looked a helluva lot tighter with his presence, kranjcar looked good in phases although a wee bit to go in fitness also, barrie mckay superb, but I've always been raving about him and I'm a big fan of his.

26 Jul 2016 08:08:50
People still need to remember that this is still really pre season. A silly competition format that has stopped us playing harder competition. The team has only conceded 1 goal. And I think in total there has been 10 shots in at our goal so it says that something has improved. Keep calm bears.

26 Jul 2016 11:11:12
Thorn76, i also thought wilson had a good game, he seems good when he has experienced players round about him, but he needs to stand on hiis own two feet, as he won't always have such comfort blankets around him, imo, he is old enough to play a good game, that's why he is vunrable.

26 Jul 2016 12:55:32
got to say for me McKay should have got man of the match but niko a close second the guys class oozed out over the pitch!

for me to say barton covered our defence well is a joke as we didn't have any defending to do.

rossiter for me would have been man of the match if he had played 90 boy reminds me of a young barry ferguson which despite what bil72 (the pessimist) says barry was a great player for rangers and if rossiter has a rangers carrer like him i'd be over the moon.

26 Jul 2016 15:49:29
Thought Barton looked overweight last night though still fit enough to stroll through a game like that. Rossiter reminds me more of Roy Keane than Stevie G. Kranjcar when fully fit will be the best of all the new boys. Think the League Cup has been good for us, for the fact that instead of meaningless friendlies, these small clubs have been competitive without ever threatening us. Its let us get our match fitness up to speed.

25 Jul 2016 16:20:11
Seeing a lot on social media that the new striker will be Kyle Lafferty.

25 Jul 2016 17:49:19
Makes sense if he's meant to be an international striker.

25 Jul 2016 19:31:06
I hope not were moving forward he's in the past and sprinted out the door in our hour of need!

25 Jul 2016 11:36:33
Seen that Manchester City signed rangers target Aaron Mooy and have loaned him out to Huddersfield.

I heard that we are not going to sign anyone else but bring in 3 players on loan

Dom ball
Chuba Akpom
Tammy Abraham.

25 Jul 2016 12:00:08
Cant see us signing 2 strikers on loan tbh, can see Dom Ball as a possibility.

25 Jul 2016 12:34:42
Good shout that the 2 players warbs wants could be loans, but iv not got a clue who they could be, but i do know Dom ball is with spurs on their pre-season tour.

25 Jul 2016 16:30:25
Do city not own the Australian club that Mooy plays for? Maybe I'm wrong, but thought they did, don't know if he's better than what we have, we do have a good few midfield to forward players, plenty of option there, get the defense sorted and we, re in the mix.

26 Jul 2016 10:59:38
When is this Dom Ball thing going to be shelved.
I've said on here countless times. he's slow can't head the ball and couldn't oust a centre half last season
Give it up he's hopeless.

25 Jul 2016 05:46:14
MW Is wanting a descion from spurs for Dom Ball by the end of the week as he really rates the youngster but If no descion by then he is turning attentions elsewhere, but Is going to monitor his situation with Ball and spurs and could go back in for a loan move in January transfer window if needed, also the deal for Marippa is not dead and MW and Gers hope to push that one over the line by the end of the week at latest too, as for the striker position MW has his sights on 2 strikers 1 an international striker and is confident on signing one of the two before end of transfer deadline as this may take a little longer, but In Warburton we trust.

25 Jul 2016 11:49:21
You secretly Frank Mcparland? That's some detailed inner circle information right there.

25 Jul 2016 12:05:06
A lot of info u r a man in the know ball away on pre season so we won't get a decision this week
I don't think ball will make Spurs squad this season maybe next season so I think he will be playing for us he's only 20 not that age counts but his only experience is playing Scottish championship another year with us in the spl would further his experience I hope he's coming back to ibrox to help us.

25 Jul 2016 12:07:56
You seem to know more than he does?

25 Jul 2016 12:14:48
No kingCooper i am not FM in disguise and no need for the sarcasm or you to be patranising eirher, this is who MW Is after, whether they join isn't a foregone conclusion but It is all passed on to you and other Gers fans on good faith and solid grounds no liar here, and my source you might be thinking? well i can't say for fear of source getting fined or worse, was told i could pass the info on but On no terms to reveal anything about where it came from, just watch this space.

25 Jul 2016 13:48:43
alex 1972 got to say I hope your right bro! and if u are I wanna jump about in the circles u do lol unless its just the tea lady is your wife and she heard fae the next room lol.
just kidding mate if your right I will know that u are another reliable source.

25 Jul 2016 15:39:39
Behave yourself Alex, by the replies of some folk, they were thinking the same thing as myself (Incredibly impressed if true) . I didn't and I'm not calling you a liar. My post is merely suggesting that if this Intel is genuine (which it may well be) you know somone in the inner circle and it's incredibly impressive (yes with impressed sarcasm) Though by your snippy reply and the I'm telling yous nothing of my source attitude I'm certainly leaning towards nonsense. A simple the guy knows davie weir (or whoever) would convince most folk it may have merit. I actually hope you're genuine bud. Hard to believe when people lose their cool a bit over nothing though.

25 Jul 2016 16:23:16
Anyone herd from Kyle Lafferty, they want £2 million we are prepared to pay £500000 but we have to meet in the middle. MW said this in a interview and for MW to talk about spending money surely he has money and is using this for the striker. international strikers we have been linked with Will Grigg and Kyle Lafferty and to be fair they were at the euros and just returning from holidays so could be something in this or Is this just fans rumours or has there been any contact regarding these players. International strikers? Who's still out there on a free?
