Rangers 2009 - 2010 thread

That does look nice.

 

A fantastic utility player. He definitely should remain as part of your squad and will, with a bit of luck, push for a starting spot this coming season...

 

DEAN Furman is stalling on a new deal at Rangers because he fears a lack of first team football.

The former Chelsea kid believes he's ready to become an Ibrox regular in the new campaign - if he is given the chance to impress.

Furman, 21, was a standout on loan at Bradford City last season but Bantams boss Stuart McCall has admitted defeat in his bid to sign him on a permanent deal.

He revealed Furman wants to play at a higher level, with League One club Oldham already waiting in the wings.

Furman said: "I'm out of contract. There's an offer on the table from Rangers but as yet I've not accepted it. So much is up in the air at the moment but hopefully in the next couple of weeks things will become clearer.

"I'm looking at my best option. I absolutely loved my time at Bradford and it was disappointing the last few weeks of the season went downhill after we'd been in the play-off spot for most of the campaign.

"Regular football was the big thing. It was senior football as opposed to reserve outings. It was the next step in my career and it has made me a better player. I want to be somewhere I can get the chance to play every week because the past season has given me a sniff of that level and I've loved it.

"Rangers are a different level but I feel I can handle the pressure of playing in front of 50,000 fans every week.

"My best option is to go where I can get the chance to play and hopefully over the next couple of weeks that can be resolved."




Hmmmm.....I wouldn't have him before our first-choice midfielders, but with Edu and Thomson out for the start of the season, Ferguson off (hopefully), and doubts over whether Mendes may be sold, I hope he accepts the new contract.

I watch the 19s/reserves quite regularly as well, and there are a lot of guys from there who will no doubt be promoted to the first-team, especially as there will be more emphasis on youth due to the fact we are skint. Gregg Wylde (left-back), Daniel Wilson (centre-back), Jamie Ness (midfield), Archie Campbell (forward) and Stephen Stirling (midfield) are the ones who have stood out, and, IMO, deserve a chance in the first team squad. Not as regulars, but they'd be better back-up than the likes of McCulloch...

 

Who I'd like to go:

Dailly
McCulloch
Ferguson
Adam
Smith
Broadfoot
Gow
Naismith (only on loan)

Unsure:

Beasley





Who I want to go, and who goes are two different things. We don't have the luxury of turning down decent money for players, and the rich Premiership clubs bloody well know it

 

this is just like the england kit but in blue, i dont really like it but i suppose i'll get maself one!!

 

Not exactly awe-inspiring, but I suppose the phrase "you get what you pay for" has never been more appropriate than now. I'd take Brunt, Tonel and Hutton, but I'd prefer Driver from Hearts to Brunt, and would rather see Wilson promoted than spending £2m or so plus big wages on someone like Tonel. As for Hutton coming back, no chance.

I fear humiliation in the CL; our squad is in severe need of freshening up, and we'll be up against teams with resources Smith can only dream of.

 

well when you look at the teams we struggled to beat last season, I don't see how we're going to do well in Europe. I hope we get an "easy" group, and avoid Man Utd, Real et al. I reckon we can compete with the likes of PSV, Ajax, Panathinaikos, Famagusta etc, but if we get one of the big boys then i won't hold my breath.

And I meant comparatively easy, as even the lesser teams in the CL are usually good.

I'd prefer Driver but Romanov values him at £4m, which all but rules Rangers out. I'd rather see Wilson and Wylde (centre-half and left-back respectively) get a chance, than bringing in new players, as they could save us a fortune.

 

i like the pin stripes!

been pretty boring so far, not seen rangers in the papers for weeks!

hope theres no messing about this season. just go and attack and pump the shite thats in this league. champions league, defend like the uefa cup run haha, otherwise, we will get pumped every game i fear.

good to see thomsons fit again, hes much needed!

so whos definetly gone? i know daily and hemdani are away. anyone else?

mon the bears, make it 53!

 

The longer we last in it, the more TV revenue we get. A club in our financial position should not underestimate that.

Good to see Aaron's completing his loan deal, I think he'll come in useful in Europe.

I also think that Aaron staying more or less confirms the departure of Beasley.

 

let hope it's better than last year's, we had to wait ages for that as well, and what a fecking anti-climax that turned out to be.

 

Anyone who watched him in the group stages at the ConFed Cup this summer has to realize he doesn't have the form to play with Rangers in the foreseeable future.

 

Aaron you mean?

 

Beasley...

 

I quoted the wrong box on accident...
