Well I hope this thread gets more positive than how I'm going to start it off! So far we have picked up a host of injuries and signed a load of (Average) forwards. Not sure what is going on but we must signed a creative midfielder before the champions league deadline. Davis is not that man! He is good but why not push the boat out here and try and sign someone better than Fergie. Maybe give him a kick up the @rse! Anyway we've been linked with Lovenkrands. Another injury prone player. Saying that we have nobody apart from Beasley with blistering pace and lets face it. He's not the best and seems to be injury prone as well. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/r/rangers/7517078.stm Time for DM to put some cash out there!
rangers play kaunas after they beat santa coloma 7-2 on aggregate. should win and if rangers go through they are seeded in the 3rd qualifying round and avoid the likes of barcelona liverpool arsenal and juventus.
Are you sure you can pay him? I've rarely seen a player earning so good money by playing so few games (as he did in Germany)...
Correct me if I'm wrong. But is tonight not the deadline for signings for the champions league? I'm getting really p1ssed off with this. Why are we not trying to take the next step? Anyway we've been linked with some Sunderland player.Dickson Etuhu and a few other Anyone know anything about this guy? I can hardly contain my excitement. We better be busy tonight!
champions league signing deadlines - 24th July (24:00 CET) : for all matches in the second qualifying round. 7th August (24:00 CET) : for all matches in the third qualifying round. 1st September (24:00 CET) : for all further matches as from the first match in the group stage up to and including the final.
I really think we might get beat on wednesday night! http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/europe/7528547.stm
Rangers team for tonight - McGregor Broadfoot Weir Papac Whittaker Dailly McCulloch Thomson Adam Darcheville Miller Subs: Alexander, Hemdani, Boyd, Novo, Webster, Lafferty, Velicka. quite a bit of booing in the stadium heard on the radio when Kenny Millers name was read out.
Miller over Boyd. What is the world coming to? You can just tell when a game is going to be like that. The fans are not happy and nervous. It transmits to the players. Why the hell have we not sorted out our midfield?
Am I the only one that thinks all our problems are in midfield? Why do we keep signing forwards and defenders? When are we going to sign a creative midfielder? This is driving me nuts. Rangers sign defender Bougherra http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/r/rangers/7533136.stm
There is at least one pretty decent mf that you were missing most of last year to injury that'll be returning. Gers probably could use one more though.
My Beloved Gers need to sign up Stevie Davis asafp. With Baz done for a long while and adam being a near total donkey and Hemdani effectively useless domestically who will get the ball up the park? Surely there is more funds to be used from the UEFA Cup run and the sale of Hutton?!
Wattie has already spent 9 mil on 3 forwards and a back. Don't think there's going to be much left in the tin for a creative midfielder. If Beasly goes down yet again (and someone who has watched his carrer over the years know he will) you are in serious trouble.
isn't there the possibility that he's been signed incase Cuellar is sold before the end of August? not stating that it's going to happen but the chance does exist, especially if he doesn't play against Kaunas in the second leg either which saves him from being cup-tied in European competition.
Beasley is not that much of an issue. We survived easily without him when he was injured. While he is a nice little extra to have with his pace. The main problem is Ferguson and a creative midfielder. We cannot keep possession without Ferguson and it's plainly obvious to everyone we need a creative midfielder.
It sure could be. I'm trying not to think of that. Well it's all or nothing tonight. There is so much negativity surrounding the team and fans just now. Luckily it's away from home actually. I'd fear if this game was at Ibrox. I find this very very frustrating. We should have built on last season. I mean we've spent £9m!!
So 25 mins till kick off and I'm still very negative about the game. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/europe/7541840.stm I hope they prove me wrong!
Rangers team news vs Kaunas - Walter Smith has opted for a 4-1-4-1 formation. McGregor Whittaker Broadfoot Weir Papac Dailly Novo Thomson McCulloch Adam Miller
1-1 half time..novo created rangers goal scored by thomson then kaunas rocketed a freekick over the hand of mcgregor who should have done better..rangers go through if it stays the same.
cha-ching! cheers for the extra cash. what a mess of a team. if you don't sign a central midfielder you'll be lucky to finish in the top 6 this season. [youtube]XA4PpDH0wZU[/youtube]
That was pathetic from Rangers. Can't wait for the fallout of this Watching Charlie Adam fall over the ball time and time again is great entertainment!
