Genuinely hilarious account that. Please don't tell me you put any credence in it? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We definitely need to bring in new faces, but January is generally not the time you build a squad due to the inflated prices. We were never going to go out and sign 5 or 6 permanent transfers in this window. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never had an issue with your loans, I just used it as an example of differing perspectives that people take when trying to make a point. As I mention above, 2 of our loan deals (if Ramsey does indeed sign), will also have the option to buy. Rangers will obviously have similar hopes for Sands - 21 years old with room to improve and potential to make profit. Ramsey would be a no brainer if the numbers get sorted, which I'd obviously be sceptical about. Edited January 31, 2022 by AJF 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No real reason, just a feeling. Ramsey? Here's my prediction: How f-ing much?! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may as well do the double and grab Jack Wilshere too. Diallo on the other hand even for the short term was a cracker. Looks like its done anyway so i guess time will tell Edited January 31, 2022 by Jinky67 -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diallo on the other hand even for the short term was a cracker. If it's at a reasonable price, then I'd say so. I've already noted some reservations I have about bringing him in which are mainly based around this season and his ability to hit the ground running. But if we end up signing him permanently on a deal that we are comfortable with, then I think his ability could outweigh the risk attached to it. I've also mentioned I am sceptical that we would be able to arrange a price that makes that worthwhile though, given his current wage.

The main problem is the stagnant squad. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are correct in saying it’s a gamble though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fratelli Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 McCarthy will attempt to go through him on Wednesday and they'll somehow both end up injured and out for the season. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thistle_do_nicely Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 Found it odd at first that they are, on the face of things, using a good chunk of the nathan patterson money on high profile loans but i guess it makes sense; if everything goes hunky dory then theyll be 1st and get a crack at the CL. If it goes tits up then the loans go back and they arent left lumbered with a couple of extra (big money) wages. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smpar Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 Fucking hell, what a signing that could be. Could also turn out to be a waste of everyone’s time, where he’ll play a total of 62 minutes between now and May and in 7 years’ time you’ll occasionally have the “mind when Rangers signed Aaron Ramsay” conversation in the boozer, ending in someone googling it because they simply don’t remember it happening. In all seriousness, what is he earning at Juventus and what do you suppose Rangers are paying him? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
