McGinn with a few years more on his contract would have gone for £4m+. I'd say £2m for Windass is decent in comparison. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightswoodBear Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 1 minute ago, Ross. said: It's difficult not to use Waghorn as an example, given he had a poorer return in terms of goals. I would probably say £2m is definitely at the lower end of what I would be asking for. For all his inconsistency and his incredibly punchable face, he has pace to burn and a good first touch and can carry a team 60 yards up the park quite well. Replacing that ability, as well as the 20 odd goals he will get you, is far from assured with £2m. Tavernier on the other hand is an absolute abomination of a defender. Why anyone would be willing to pay a 7 figure fee for him is beyond me. Unless he is playing at a team who do spend most of the game going forward, he is going to be worse than useless. Tav, in my opinion, is far more valuable to the team. Provides assists, consistently, and chips in with more than his share of goals from RB. His defensive shortcomings are well documented, but I can see him playing further forward if Stevie Ger moves to a back 3. Windass, as I've said, is a luxury player, who isn't anywhere near the player he thinks he is. I think the figures being quoted for both players are about right. I'd also like to point out that I just don't like Windass. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He definitely offers a lot going forward, and has been the most creative Rangers player in the side any time I have seen them in the last few years, but that creativity has been offset by the amount of goals he has gifted the opposition. As for your last sentence, I can definitely understand why someone would feel that way about a boy with his face.

senorsoupe Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 So Rangers sold a guy who scored 18 goals last year but have kept Andy Halliday? I'm sure that makes sense in someone's mind 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
