Grangemouth Bairn Posted July 18 Share Posted July 18 3 hours ago, AJF said: Kind of guessed we might see some movement on Tavernier given that he hasn’t featured in any pre-season games thus far. There were rumours early on of a move, but to Saudi, so it seems as though there is some weight behind the rumour of him departing. The sad part is, while I agree it’s time to move him on, we will likely be weaker without him if no replacements come in. The clubs are €1m apart on the valuation. Apparently Trabzonspor have offered €3m but John Bennett is demanding €2m. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tartan Dave Posted July 18 Share Posted July 18 I can see Patterson back to rangers on loan if tavernier leaves. Don't think Dyche is a fan 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like he's packed on a fair amount of bulk to me. One of the photos in the thread shows his arms trying to burst through his training top. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was quite noticeable when he played for Scotland not too long after he left Rangers that he'd put on a lot of muscle. That picture though just looks like he's enjoyed his summer a little too much 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That picture though just looks like he's enjoyed his summer a little too much I definitely thought the latter but I think it's the neck and chin playing tricks on the eyes. Chin looks similar to the first pic. Doesn't look so terrible here 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Savage Henry Posted July 19 Share Posted July 19 Ryan Christie did the same thing. After a season at Bournemouth he was about twice the size. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Appears he has been left out for todays Friendly against Sligo. Confirms one of either Dyche doesn't rate him or he's out recovering from a roast dinner. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJF Posted July 20 Share Posted July 20 (edited) An interesting thread which probably highlights the difficulty we will have in replacing Tavernier. I’m surprised his 23/24 stats remained this high as, certainly going by the eye test, he had a rather significant drop off. We won’t be able to replicate his numbers with another right back, so we need to change our system so it’s shared amongst the team.

So to replace him, you need someone with a 100% penalty record, record assists, progressive touches and, crucially, a Level 3 NVQ in Construction Contracting Operations. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just get your new RB to take penalties and he'll hit double figures as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This has to be one of the worst Rangers sides ever. They were poor last year and look even worse. The weakest position was striker and haven't even bothered to prioritise a new signing there. Top scorer (from right back) on his way out. What a shambles. Clement will walk out by October 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
