Hearing more Lewis Ferguson to Rangers for £2m rumours again today.
I think he's a quality player wins majority of 50/ 50's and aerial duels and knows how to score penalties.



30 Aug 2020 19:38:35
The Glasgow ranger a don’t see what Lewis Ferguson would bring to the team poss like for like with Ryan jack type player so don’t see why we would go for him yes I like the idea he is a rangers man we need a box to box creative midfielder that can skelping a baw yes that asking a lot and certainly will cost a lot but for me that’s what we are crying out for!
On our way #55.



30 Aug 2020 19:41:46
Much rather have kept mcrorie. wouldn't pay 2mil for him when we've let mcrorie go for 350k, as imo Ross is the better player of the 2.



30 Aug 2020 20:03:38
I think Ferguson will turn out a fine player probably better than Ryan Jack I just don’t think he’s ready to walk into our first team witch is what we need right now! I certainly won’t complain if he does sign though I rate him!



30 Aug 2020 20:17:58
Another mediocre player Rangers have no interest in.



30 Aug 2020 20:26:52
Ferguson is better than mccrorie, so many people have the blue tinted specs on when it comes to mccrorie, Mccrorie is an Aberdeen level player, Ferguson will be a Rangers level player maybe already is.



30 Aug 2020 20:35:27
Mccrorie a better player than Ferguson so why would we pay out two million when Ross valued 350k.



30 Aug 2020 20:51:47
Yip Mcrorie is better than Ferguson and MOM today so let's get rid of him Mr Gerrard, great move!



30 Aug 2020 20:52:32
Here we go ferguson is twice the player Ross is without a shadow of doubt.



30 Aug 2020 20:53:58
The two best young midfielders in Scotland right now are Lewis ferguson (current young player of the year) and David Turnball and we have already missed out on turnball I really hope we don’t lose out on ferguson I would have him signed now.



30 Aug 2020 21:29:22
I really feel we are going to regret big Ross getting let go and for 350k is a joke.



30 Aug 2020 23:34:51
Guys mcrorie is mince.



31 Aug 2020 00:10:24
Agreed john 👍.



31 Aug 2020 02:18:11
Mccrorie isn’t even a midfielder so why is people comparing him to Ferguson he is a Defender by trade we moved him to Midfield but his natural position is defeated and he got man of match playing defence so stop comparing him to Ferguson and for the record Mccrorie wasn’t good enough for us hence why he was sold all the moaning about we should have kept him shows how how low our fans are willing to accept if they genuinely think he was good enough for us he is nowhere near as good as our Defenders or Midfielders depending where he played so let’s get real.



31 Aug 2020 03:26:15
Yes and mr Turnbull is w Celtic man wouldn’t sign for us anyways.



31 Aug 2020 08:50:21
The tackle Ferguson got booked for yesterday would have been a sending off in an old firm game, not for me I'm afraid.



31 Aug 2020 10:03:56
Ferguson is better than McCrorie. Ferguson is a box to box midfielder, he has a great engine, he can tackle, win aerial battles, is strong, can play 1 touch passes in tight areas, can finish and play creative passes.
McCrorie has a good engine also, good in air and at tackling but not shooting or playing 1 touch football or being creative he’s a defender or holding midfielder who’s not as good as Jack or Kamara that’s why we sold him he’s Aberdeen level or squad player at Rangers but wants to play so we reluctantly let him go.
IMO Ferguson is proven at this level playing about 100 games in league and he’s exactly what we need in middle of park, he’s better than Kamara and a future replacement for Steve Davis.



31 Aug 2020 10:07:23
Tbh guys my preference would have been to keep McCrorie as I felt he would have been a really useful squad player as can play several positions, although I also understand his need for first team football . I sort of wish we had let him go for a full season on loan in the SPL and then made the decision about letting him leave permanently or not.



31 Aug 2020 10:30:28
Correct BAR72 - he was rank rotten against Rangers on the opening day of the season where his only contribution was 2 horrendous tackles which in a Rangers jersey would get him sent off.
And everyone goes on about Morelos having disciplinary issues. Ferguson would be a huge liability in a Rangers jersey plus he isn't good enough. 👍.



31 Aug 2020 12:52:00
Stiv, u obviouslydidnt watch it yday mcrorie played cm.



31 Aug 2020 16:11:34
Jack, Aribo, Hagi, Kamara, Davis, Arfield. They are all very good midfielders much better than Ferguson or anyone else in Scotland in my opinion. We seem to have the best defence for years and it is iron curtain defences that win titles. No point scoring 4 and conceding 3. Get Morelos sorted one way or the other and give Itten and Roofe a chance. By Christmas, we may well be out of sight (ahead, I mean lol) .



31 Aug 2020 16:39:59
I think it would be a smart piece of business to buy young Ferguson. At 20 year old he is in 3rd season as 1st choice CM for aberdeen and there is no doubt he is a good quality young midfielder in my opinion him and Turnbull would be pick of youngsters in the country just now. I like the boy mccrorie but Ferguson in my opinion offers more going forward and that's where he is just in front. I would also leave him on loan at Aberdeen this season and bring him to glasgow next season.
My opinion on our midfield options is as follows Davis has quality but is getting on, Jack is first choice CM, Aribo was showing that he will be a vital part of our attacking play. Kamara has talent but blows hot and cold. Arfield frustrates out of me, his first season he was outstanding but seems to have lost his mojo. Just now with aribo injured there is noone from midfield running beyond the strikers. That's where we will break teams like Livingston with a midfielder running in behind.



31 Aug 2020 17:34:10
Having watched the highlights of Aberdeen game yesterday (only highlights admittedly) I didn’t see McCrorie do anything to convince me he would ever stand out for us. Wouldn’t have given him MOM either.
Ferguson is a different player so not going to jump in on the who is better debate but I don’t think we NEED either of them.



31 Aug 2020 17:54:11
He's mince.



31 Aug 2020 19:57:46
I watched the majority of the Hibernian V Aberdeen game and both Ferguson and McCrorie played well against a decent Hibs team. McCrorie certainly put in some good tackles and made a number of quality passes. On the Hibs Team, Murphy was relatively quiet, perhaps not surprising given that it was his first competitive game. Whether McCrorie could have grown into the quality of player that we need in midfield is debatable and in any event we will never know. That said, I am not as confident that we have the midfield players we need to take us forward which perhaps is why Gerard is looking to acquire a quality box to box midfield player. As we saw on Saturday, Davis is still a quality player however, given his age, I can't see him playing every week and I do worry if he is injured. Arfield is not the answer and he isn't decent quality back up for Arfield either. His best days are behind him. That leaves Kamara and for me I just wish that someone would come in and give us a good price for him. He slows the game down too much for me, he goes missing when the going gets tough and for me we need better. That highlights the need for a good quality box to box midfield player. Could that be Ferguson, who knows?



31 Aug 2020 21:08:18
Ferguson had a worse disciplinary record than Morelos last season, if he played for us he would be sent off every other week. there is a player in there but think he would be in the stands more than Morelos.



31 Aug 2020 22:52:47
Seems strange that our manager and coaching staff decide to sell McRorie for £350k only to buy a worse player for £2m (if the rumours are true) .

Could it be that he has forgotten to consult the experts on here or is it possible that he knows just a tad more than the experts and has watched McCrories every move in training and the few games he has played for us before deciding that he will not reach the standard that is required?



31 Aug 2020 23:13:37
NO POINT SCORING 4 AND CONCEDING 3: classic doiger,

I know what you mean mate.



01 Sep 2020 07:22:22
Blue genius I watched it he was motm by far him and Ferguson ran the whole team.



01 Sep 2020 16:26:59
For me if SG and GM can't spot a CM we are in huge trouble as they were both world class CMs. I think Ferguson has the potential to become a quality CM. Potential replacement for Davis in a season or 2. Good quality for SPL. I also think young mccrorie looked decent and I think SG would have been happy with just the loan. From what I hear however it was the player who requested it be permanent for the good of his career. At his age he needs somewhere he will be first choice and just now rangers wasnt the place. Aberdeen look a good fit. Plus should he turn out a player I reckon we would have a buy back first option maybe.



30 Aug 2020 14:14:40
Rangers keeping tabs on Shon Weissman poss click bait but looks like a player any move for another striker though will depend on Morelos situation I would imagine
I loved Morelos as a player and if he picked his dummy up and sorted out his attitude then I will again but as we all would love clarity on the matter! 🐻.



30 Aug 2020 14:45:04
Need to be really careful we don’t have the equivalent scenario to Celtic with bobo balde. It could backfire on us very easily if he’s not moved on then we have a player not interested and picking up whatever he may may be on 20 25k 🤷‍♂️.



30 Aug 2020 17:39:03
The12thman, it's all went a bit quite regarding Morelos, teams aren't exactly quing up for him. Maybe they'll want him on the cheap now. Hope he stays now, knuckles down and starts banging them I n again.



30 Aug 2020 18:26:42
We have two new strikers but nobody to supplythem with ammunition to score need midfielders who can create chances.



30 Aug 2020 18:35:31
There’s a long while to go before the window shuts, anything can and will happen, as always.



30 Aug 2020 18:35:47
I don't think the whole situation is being helped with our clubs inability to handle things behind closed doors. I have said it before if morelos isn't sold then we have an unhappy player that has rightly or wrongly been criticised publicly several times by our manager. The relationship won't be there and his value will go through the floor.



30 Aug 2020 18:36:04
Its just my opinion but I think we are struggling to sell Morelos. The French league has started and Lille haven't exactly been banging our door down to get him.



30 Aug 2020 18:39:39
A focused Morelos would be a great asset in our quest for 55 and if he doesn’t move hopefully he does start scoring the goals.
Might be an option to play 2 upfront especially with the strikers we currently have, especially when Defoe and Itten return from injury.



30 Aug 2020 18:44:54
I said all along that this could happen regarding Morelos.



30 Aug 2020 19:13:05
Should definitely be playing two up front. It's the Spl.



30 Aug 2020 19:19:05
It's not rocket science that all the big name clubs that were rumoured to be interested have not put up the money for fredo . they don't believe he can play at a, higher level . and nor do I.



30 Aug 2020 19:44:24
That’s the europa league put in its place then, and obviously Rangers isn’t a high level either.



31 Aug 2020 09:47:37
Why was Morelos so cheap in the first place?
Maybe gp has it.



31 Aug 2020 10:05:15
Transfer window still open for over a month, Morelos will be sold. I’d imagine in final week of window at latest teams will target him.



31 Aug 2020 17:03:01
Weissman signed for Real Valladolid.



31 Aug 2020 20:03:25
Unless we have the funds available to allow us to buy a quality box to box midfield player and a right winger then we need to sell Morelos, (assuming that another bid comes in), to fund new players. With Aribo back we will surely see Barker removed from the team but Aribo is a central midfield player not an outside right and in any event our squad is wafer thin. We have moved on at least eight players and while we have currently signed five of better quality we are still well short of a squad that can dominate the league and secure a run in Europe.



01 Sep 2020 16:31:26
Berkshire blue I think when aribo returns we will play a fluid 3 behind lone striker with none having set positions. They will have freedom to go where they want with regards to position. Agree with the rest about needing to sell morelos to bring in the 2 or 3 players we need.
