Grangemouth Bairn Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 2 minutes ago, AJF said: Since Gio came in we have played pretty much every single weekend/midweek and will continue to do so up until December pretty much. I don't think we can select the same starting 11 each week or the players will get burnt out, especially players like Davis who is probably in his last season before retiring and Jack who is prone to picking up niggles when playing too much. What about Yilmaz ? And the Polish full back ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has been here less than a month and is in competition with our first choice left back. He is also 21 years old is clearly seen as a long term replacement for Borna given the investment we made on him. Unless you are suggesting that he is somehow a failed signing after being here for less than 30 days? And Zukowski is a 20 year old that was signed in January for about £400k on the back of us selling Nathan Patterson. Given that even Patterson struggled for game time with Tavernier in the side, I'm not sure what you are expecting from him exactly? You could've picked out a few transfers under Gio that haven't worked out. How you've opted for these two, I'm not sure. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s his team now even though he’s not playing a lot of his own signings. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Transfers brought in by Gio since his arrival that are still at the club consists of: Colak: Has played in all of our matches this season Lawrence: Has played in all of our matches this season Sands: Has played in all bar one of our matches this season Tillman: Has played in all bar one of our matches this season Matondo: Has played in all bar two of our matches this season Davies: Has played in 3 out of 7 matches Yilmaz: Has played in 2 out of 6 matches since joining Souttar: Has played in 1 match v Livi and has been on bereavement leave/injured since Zukowski: Is in our development squad, never going to be challenging Tavernier any time soon I think you are overstating this a bit considering it is only Zukowski that hasn't featured for us this season, which is down to him being a 20 year old in our development squad that plays in the same position as Tav. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bennett Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 37 minutes ago, Hoose Rice said: No but he also randomly drops others like Davis and Jack, brings Kamara in, released a steady CH and plays a midfielder there. All the marks of a guy that doesnt have a club what his best team is. Davis can't play twice a week, Jack has always had niggling injuries, I agree with you about Balogun. We'll have to rotate a lot of players, while new players will need bedded in. 49 minutes ago, Hoose Rice said: PSV have managed to keep their best players until after Wednesday. Rangers board have sold the manager and the fans down the river as shite a coach he seems to be. Rangers had huge financial losses last season, players were always going to be sold. As the board have said the club needs to be self sustaining. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could have sold after the qualifiers though just like PSV are doing instead of coming across completely desperate for the cash and taking a massive gamble now on qualification. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether they are good enough or not will be seen, I just don't think the claim of him not playing his own signings is accurate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were desperate for cash though, it's hardly a secret. Ideally we should have sold and signed players earlier. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
williemillersmoustache Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 If the furious bear rage on twatter is right and Tavernier held another player by the throat then they should both be suspended pending an investigation. Even wee bampot nyaffs like Morel-Lols deserve to be safe in the workplace. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He mentioned 3 weeks ago that talks were progressing well and that he was close to signing a new deal. Whether this changes things, I'm not sure. I'd imagine he may want to see his reaction first. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would have still gotten the cash the end of this week, if not more cash as clubs become desperate for bodies and its risking the Champions League pot. Surely with season ticket sales and the European run you werent that desperate for the money right away? Aribo and Bassey without a doubt could have made the difference then sell.

D Angelo Barksdale Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 Morelos is surely done at Ibrox now after this. A week left to punt him, should probably still get £ 5-8 million you would think. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
