Rangers clearly need a capable forward to assist Alfredo Morelos in the second half of this season. January presents an opportunity to help the club’s top scorer. Morelos has often been relied upon by Steven Gerrard, with summer signings Kyle Lafferty and Umar Sadiq failing to make a serious impression so far this term. Morelos…
Shankland, yes. If SG and Mark Allan think he is good enough, go get him. Either on a pre contract, or in January with us loaning them Rudden, Dallas or Mepude for 6 months, then one of the three or Hardie for another 12 months
McBurnie, no. Rangers fan, knew we were interested, still signed a new contract when Swansea only had a 12 month option. Now out of our price bracket, if he succeeds he will remain out, if he doesn’t we won’t want him. Silly boy, could have played for his heroes
Maja, maybe. Hadn’t come across him before, stats look good, out of contract means could offer same deal as Shankland.
Personally, I would prefer to take Dominic Solanke on a 6mth loan from Liverpool. Gives us more time to make an assessment and could still move for Shankland or Maja without needing them to step up. Feel we need a No 2 striker, who will push Lafferty down to No 3, rather than settle for a backstop
