How many players could Rangers loan from us anyway? What is the maximum limit when it comes to loaning from a single club?

I think football in England is just far more competitive. Scottish League probably resembles what you would get if you created a mini league from Man City, Wolves, a bunch of middling Championship sides, and a bunch of middling League One & Two sides.

Is there a place for ~~Everton~~ Newport County in this mini-league?

In his entire 3-season experience as a Premier League player, he contributed a goal or assist every 949 minutes.

So he'll probably halve that in Scotland.

I think it's really hard to look at the data of Burnley players and imagine what output that would be in a dominant attacking side. In the same way as trying to get from Robertson 2016/17 to 17/18.

When I look at the numbers for Burnley players, they all look like Huth, Fellaini or Deeney based on which line of depth they are on the field to me.

Solid signing. From what I can gather, this was in the pipeline before Gerrard's name came up.

PhaseOfPlay · « **Reply #88 on:** May 14, 2018, 08:55:29 pm »

Average of 4 shots on target per goal. It's a typical Rangers signing. It's also a typical Celtic signing. Be interesting to see that battle (transfers) almost more than the football games!

Almost certainly!

The Forest player Cummings is another being linked with Rangers on a permanent deal. The fact they might be signing Forest rejects tells you everything you need to know.

Seen him play a bunch in the Championship, never liked him. Mate is a forest fan and says he has a tendency to stroll around the pitch when the rest of the team is working to get the ball back.

I wonder if the scout/transfer people are trying to get their players in before Gerrard takes the reins and gets control?

Imagine him in his prime in our midfield with Keita next season. What a player he would have been in Klopp's system.

The one the lad in the grey trackie pings in at 3.40 is Roy of the Rovers stuff

It's going to be hard for Stevie, like it was with Hoddle at England, in that he will undoubtedly be the best player on the pitch during training.

If he's on the pitch during training, then he's doing it wrong.

What a player, if he had anything left in his legs I'd gladly have that.

The Scottish version of the gutter rag have him linked with moves for Skrtel, Lucas and Defoe, cant see any of them coming off. However, they've had a bid for Brighton Center Back Connor Goldson and also lo ked with young West Ham defender Reece Burke.

Linudden · « **Reply #101 on:** May 17, 2018, 02:31:44 pm »

For a club at Rangers' current level, Arfield and McGregor with their significant English club experience fit right in, when it comes to what kind of players Stevie needs.

McGregor being a keeper at 36 and Arfield being about 30, both could easily be key players in Rangers side for a good four-five years if all goes well.

Lucas Leiva? After the really good season he's had in Italy, he'll be good there for another 4 or 5 years the way he's going!

The Skrtel one does keep cropping up though. Maybe there is something in that.

Yeah, your not the only one that thinks that way, even most Rangers fans are thinking the same. The Skrtel one is probably the one we need most, a proper defender in an area we are undoubtedly at our weakest. I would be very content to get say Skrtel & Goldson.

There's some Liverpool youngsters names that pop up, Adam Lewis being one. Also, some squad players such as Harry Wilson, seen Jon Flanagan's name mentioned as well. All just rumours so far.

Gerry Attrick · « **Reply #107 on:** May 18, 2018, 12:16:30 pm »

Give us 10m for Harry Wilson and you can have him, otherwise he shouldn't set foot in Scotland. Way too good to go on loan there.

BabuYagu · « **Reply #108 on:** May 18, 2018, 12:38:28 pm »

My biggest worry would be what happens for Rangers if this doesn't work out. Looking at the amount of staff Gerrard is taking up to Scotland with him, it gives him the best possible chance of success to be surrounded by people he trusts. If it doesn't work though, he is going to be gutting the club as the staff will likely go with him. Which makes it feel a little all or nothing.

Hope it works out if nothing else then because Scottish football desperately needs that level of competition at the top again. Until they get it, they will struggle for big TV deals, sponsorship and attracting top players like Laudrup and Larsson once more. There is just little to sell about Scottish football at the moment.

the situation with back room staff happens at most clubs though and it's only 3/4 he has brought with him, Which is hardly out of the ordinary.

It's such lazy journalism in my opinion, the same way we've been linked with pretty much every German player ever since we signed Klopp and as far as I can recall we've only signed Karius.

Did i misread this - but aren't they floating the club on the stock exchange? Which would create some money for investment...

While I don't think they will land any of them, there will be a wee bit money to spend.

I'd imagine there will be £6M-£8M to spend, plus whatever they make in sales. Guys like Windass, Tavernier and Morelos have already been linked with moves away which would raise over £10M themselves.
