Considering the respective activities of Sellick, Sevco and ourselves during the window 3rd place is clearly what the Club realistically hope to achieve this season 

 

I'm a glass half full kind of guy.

The respective activities or the OF show that they have the fear. Aberdeen are happy with their squad and the double is ours.

Frustrating thing about the Dandies Social Media universe is the two categories fans apparently fall into 

If you’re content with the window you’re a DNA-loving, conformative, lickspittle happy clapper 

If you’re annoyed with the window you’re a DMG, bed wetting, spoiled, entitled c**t 

99% of the fan base probably sit between the two extremes but if you lean towards one opinion or the other you get categorised as one or the other 

 

I usually just skip over posts where folk start going on about "bed-wetting" and "meltdowns" when, for most folk, that is not an accurate representation of what they are saying at all. Basically an admission that you're not interested in any different opinions or going to make any substantive points. Same applies for the other side. As you say, most people will sit between the two extremes.

I think it's a risk that we have let Wright go out on loan without sourcing a replacement, especially as he has actually played a fair bit since Christmas; off the top of my head: 45 minutes against Celtic, 80 minutes at Livingston, 20 minutes at Accies, 85 minutes at Stenhousemuir. It isn't sending him out on loan I object to, as I don't think he is consistent enough or even good enough to be a regular at a top-end Premiership team at the moment and will benefit more from a bigger role elsewhere, but not getting in a replacement, especially when you look at the injury records of some of our attacking options, or the likelihood of dips in form.

That would presume that the club agree with your view that the current squad is only good enough for 3rd or 4th.

1. What would improve us?

2015 Hayes, 2017 McLean and a 1995 Billy Dodds?

 

2. Who is available in January for <£100k and <£3k wage who meets that?

The rumoured offers/enquiries for Barker and Pittman would probably fill the first two roles but neither are as good

For the last 2 seasons Aberdeen has finished above Rangers. For all the money rangers has spent they should be way better than Aberdeen but league is showing us only 2 points behind.  

To answer your question: Lewis, Lowe, Logan, Devlin, McKenna, Ferguson, GMS, Shinnie would improve Rangers at the mo

Other than McKenna I dont think any normal person would take any aberdeen player in yhe rangers team.

 

This being the Sevco that have never finished above Aberdeen in their entire history.

They are possibly a wee bit better this season, but a two point gap in the league after 23 games and two defeats in Glasgow against us hardly suggests it's suddenly become some sort of insurmountable chasm.

........only Morelos, Tavernier, Kent if on-form and The Rat would genuinely improve our squad.

Do you expect a Top 2 position all things considered?

I certainly don’t 

 

I don't "expect" anything.  But we're good enough to be top 2 yes, I absolutely believe that.

Your belief that we're not is fine, your belief that the club acknowledges we're not and actively decided they're fine with it, is bedwetting.

Having not losing three players that we are in full control over whether they leave or not as the big positive of the window seems a bit desperate and further emphasizes how likely it is all three will be away in the summer.

They can spin it however they want but losing 5 first team players (Forrester and Tansey were signed to be first team players no matter what their recent form was) and not replacing them at all besides Stewart cannot be sold as a positive. If we don't make the Scottish cup final and/or maintain a position close to the top of the table I can still see GMS being away by the time the MLS window closes.

One day after the transfer window 'slams shut', and McInnes is on Red TV saying how light in defence and stretched we are for tomorrow's game.

Fuxsake.

Which *** players would improve our team then?
Are you genuinely arguing that Halliday is better than Lowe? Worrall better than Devlin? Candeias better than GMS/McGinn/Stewart?


I would barisic is better than lowe (halliday was just filling in there). Goldson is better than devlin. Kent is better than the three of the individuals named above
