Rangers invested a decent amount of money in the summer, but not all of it wisely. The writing appears to be on the wall for three players in particular after comments by Steven Gerrard. The Herald reported that Borna Barisic, Eros Grezda and Kyle Lafferty look like they’ve played their last games for the club.…
Some players take longer than others to settle in to a new team, especially in a new league as robust at the SPL, (where plastic pitches and hammer throwers are as common as quality players, if not more so). Barisic is clearly a quality player, you don’t command a game for Croatia if you are not. As for Grezda, only time will tell. I am not convinced that he has been fully fit since we signed him and again he is well respected so perhaps 2019 / 2020 we will see the quality that he brings. Whatever the case we should be able to recoup more than what we paid for both these players. As for Lafferty, why we ever brought him back is beyond me. He was on the front page more than the back last time round and little seems to have changed!
Have to agree with TomA. Never understood why Lafferty was bought, but will not attack Rangers players - while they are at the club.
Barisic is a Croatian international, you don’t play for them if you are no good. Hopefully, he has had a bad season adjusting and will come good next season. Failing that, someone will come in and buy him. Grezda; looks like we massively overpaid. Don’t see a future for him given the number of options we have. Kent?, Arfield, Middleton, Jones, Stewart? and Murphy to say nothing of the youth players like Mepudo, McPake etc, etc
Apologies, forgot Candeias. So minimum 5 and possibly 8 ahead of him. Grezda is finished, imho
Can we stop the negative press Cameron. Why not concentrate on good business like Kamara or McGregor, this negative attitude is doing my head in, are you a tic fan in disguise? I love the way Kent was brought in and did great great, Goldson was a steal. Arfield a great buy. As for Katic I saw him last night before Aberdeen game with Barasic both dressed in black tracksuits white trainers eating healthy and drinking water at 19.30 in a wee place in Hyndland no alcohol no partying, model professionals. Stop the negativity and support your team with pride. Grezda may not have hit it off same as Barasic but these guys are professionals and should be respected as for 4 million it’s nothing in football. We got that back playing in Europe and some you win some you lose…lets focus on the wins…negativity is for celtic fans not us. They will come good. Katic scores goals defends and wins penalties…perfect. Like Skibadly I will not talk badly of players whilst they are at the club these players have signed and are here to represent OUR CLUB they all will try that I am certain. This is because we have a management team who will not let players get lazy. I am sure there is none at ibrox.
Well said Parlane. £4M. Is that a lot of money . In this day.Remember the year Nov.2000. When Rangers paid £12m. For Flo.
Exactly…Cameron go and sensationalise stories somewhere else you talk about load of mince.
