I would be surprised if Bachman went to Rangers, I think he is aiming a lot higher. Greg Stewart's questionable morals and temprement should see him fit in instantly though. Jones will unfortunately sink without a trace. Edited April 2, 2019 by killiekranky 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Moomintroll Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 The Bachmann one I haven't heard of yet. They will get him on a free if Watford don't want him, maybe? Not sure if this one is really an attempt to weaken teams around them as I was unaware Alan MacGregor could be away in the summer, so he could be first choice next season if Rangers do get him. Rangers need a better keeper than the hopeless Foderingham who has still a year to run on his contract, but then its also likely that Rangers won't be the only club tracking Bachmann.Would annoy me massively if Watford were to free him to join the evil empire given his performances for us. The Pozzo family are somewhat unpredictable but given how well Dan has done for us, they could easily get a couple of million from a Championship club and he would deserve that move. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dindeleux Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 For all the plaudits McGregor got earlier in the season I reckon Bachman is the best keeper in the league. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's probably the first time in some while that several teams could make that realistic claim about their keeper. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still cant believe people peddle this myth. Attempting to sign players which are proven in the league you play in and going free is a standard signing target for just about every professional club going. Weakening the opposition can also be a side benefit but the idea of paying players thousands of pounds a week purely to rot in the reserves wouldnt fly with anybody in charge of the finances.

Weakening the opposition can also be a side benefit but the idea of paying players thousands of pounds a week purely to rot in the reserves wouldnt fly with anybody in charge of the finances.Back in the pre transfer window days with guys like McCall, Joe Miller, Allan Johnston, that was a thing. Now all you are doing is freeing up a wage for us to bring the next loanee in while tying up your higher wage (both cheeks) to bring a proven player in. That, in my opinion is how the loan moves are being sold to EPL and higher level Championship players. Occasionally we might get a Findlay type out of it as they enjoy the regular game time & will inevitably move on for a profit. Win, win for all concerned, I might not like it but that is the reality & anyone saying otherwise are kidding themselves. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not a myth. As you say, it can be a side benefit. It's part of what makes such signings attractive. They don't sign them to rot in the reserves, but they know that if it pans out that way, the signing has still benefited them, because opponents have been weakened. It's why Jim McLean was so reluctant to sell valued players to Rangers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Golden God Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 25 minutes ago, Dinnie said: Hard to believe that anyone at Lyon considered goals against Rangers OR a goal in the LC as being of any serious merit. For me the 2 goals against City outshine everything else he did during his time in Scotland. Dembele getting compared to Larsson is frankly ridiculous. A better comparison for MD might be Gary Hooper. On the first point, I reckon the only domestic goals they'd care about would be ones in cup semi/finals and ones in OF games On the second yeah compared to Larsson will be a stretch but I was more meaning that he will be the one who goes on to do bigger and better things outside Scotland, whereas Morelos will do f**k all of note like Boyd 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
