Ability wise he is possibly the best player we have. Physically and technically he has no weaknesses really. Attitude and consistency however he is way behind just about everyone. Would take 10 million for him with a decent sell on %age.
Whilst I agree most Rangers fans probably aren't arsed what religion their players are there is still a sizeable amount who do, but it’s more so irish catholic’s tbh hence why they don't really sign them. A few bad games and their true colours come showing like they were with Rob Kiernan.

Doubt Arsenal would be able to get him but would be great if true. Would love to see Lawwells not so smug puss as he realises he’s spent 3 million on a back up left back, delicious.
Arzani did a press conference recently so Im guessing he's still going to be with us might still be recovering. Same could be said for Kouassi. Cant help but feel especially sorry for Kouassi as the guy has been injured more than available since arriving,still only 20 though i think.
I said from the off a quality centre back and a quality right back and I would be content. We appear to have sorted the former anyway. Getting rid of dead wood is always refreshing. Shame we didn't get Turnbull (yet) but like with Mcginn he isn't/wasn’t required immediately.
As usual for the prices that we pay for players we will struggle to better what we already have. Would rather we give them likes of Johnston, Flex, Dembele, a chance instead of taking punts on other players.
Lennon basically confirming Arsenal bids aren't bullshit. I would be offering KT parity at least with our top earner right now with a release clause for next summer to keep him happy for one more season at least. Gives us time to source a new player and settle in. I can’t see Arsenal offering what we value him at as they seem to spend well within our means like ourselves. Their has been a lot of upheaval players and staff wise this year and selling him right now is out of the question for me.

I didn't actually have you down as a Rangers supporter, just a bit thick really. Then it was pointed out that you had FTP on your twitter page.
But Here's a clue:
I'm not pretending Celtics statement churning of Sevco proportions was baffling but would you expect any club to say 'ach dont worry about the dodge knee I'm sure it will be fine'. It's the same reason why it appears no other clubs are coming calling now until it is sorted. Exactly what the terms and conditions were put forward would be pure speculation.
I would question why a club in the championship would need a DoF but given the owners have proven to be pretty clueless with the football side of things I think its a great appointment. His contacts alone could prove vital.
If Celtic offer the right cash like before then yes. Given he already agreed to come I would say so. Can’t see a player being bitter as its not their fault he needs an op. Celtic understandably tried restructuring the deal but Motherwell would rather risk it and potentially get even more money if he comes back just as good/better.
Would be totally speculative to suggest they knew about it, you could even speculate it might be why he signed a deal in January.
Whilst we may have better medical options and facilities , having the op then a season or so at Motherwll to get him up and trucking is probably the right the right thing for him right now.
I agree with this. The championship is better than the scottish premiership but playing clogger football twice a week isn’t exactly a great development opportunity. Would rather play midweek games against European opposition than Barnsely and the like.
