Maybe it shows how bad kiernan is but i thought he was doing ok for a youngster, imo the problem was a lightweight midfield getting brushed asides. 35 minutes ago, nacho said: kranjcar was our best player in the last couple of games before he got injured, barton was pish, alves is a higher quality player by far than both of them, he has the pedigree and played 36 games in one of the best leagues in europe last season and for his country, every players a risk but hes our biggest signing for years, a real statement of intent Folk forget that for most of last season we'd lost most of our first choice midfielders and had to rely on championship level players. -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These were players that were brought in to play in the Premiership hence why most still have two, three years of their contracts still to go. Looks like a build for the future and with Rangers the future when they were brought in would be the top of the Premiership and playing in Europe every season. I would have thought they were Premiership level given they were relied on and helped get you to 3rd place in the Premiership. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squad cover for Premiership games but not starting 11, hence why other players were signed. Halliday and Holt have punched above their weight for large parts of the season but imo aren't Premiership level midfielders. -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilverWolfe Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 Folk forget that for most of last season we'd lost most of our first choice midfielders and had to rely on championship level players. Bennet the reason you lost them is because your club make risky signings to please the fans. All of your big signings were a risk. Barton is a nutcase, Kranjcar had fitness issues, Rossiter had hardly kicked a ball for 2 years due to injuries, Senderos was done years ago and Hill was 38. It was no surprise whatsoever that most didn't work out.Its looking like history is repeating itself a year on. A 35 year old centre half who looks great on paper (He might be a great signing) and an inury prone Dorrans who has barely played for 3 years. Ryan Jack for me would be the only reliable signing and even then he's not the sort of player to challenge us right now. Rangers would rather go bust trying to appear like they are competing with Celtic rather than taking their medicine, living within their means and building towards success in the future. We had to do it in the 90s and now we are reaping the benefits. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya Bezzer! Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 They finished mid table but Cagliari had a -21 goal difference last season due to conceded 76 goals in 38 league matches. To put that into context that's 5 more goals than Inverness last term in the same number of games, or 8 more goals than Motherwell who's defence was absolutely honking. Conjecture but perhaps Cagliari were thinking "We had a decent season but we need to stop throwing goals in....maybe we should ditch the old has been....anyone got the number of a gullible diddy club?" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naegoodinthedark Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 This is a pretty smart move though, getting players in early to properly prepare for the Europa qualifiers. Let's not forget that the manager is a complete roaster, and paying jobbers like Bruno a fortune will only speed up Admin2. Another step on "the journey" though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best of luck to the guy" has been said by nae c**t ever on P&B. We could sign Messi, Neymar and Ronaldo on free transfers for £500 a week plus a sausage supper each and the comments would be along the lines of, "They'll be fun oot on the 0.5G pitch at NDP" He'll be a good signing, good luck to the guy. He'll be a superb hatchet man, an absolutely typical rangers(RIP) player. I imagine you'll get a good couple of months out of him before it starts getting cold and rainy, then he'll be injured for the rest of the season. Effective if nasty and a bit of a liability on the park for a few months then a huge leaden weight dragging the scum back down to oblivion. Good luck to the guy, I hope he doesn't injure any of our players. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calum_gers Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 Let's just cross our fingers that Icardi, Dybala, Higuain, Mertens et al don't make the switch to Scottish football and he might cope. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
