ErsatzThistle Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 Been reading about Rangers new signing, Tom Lawrence. Bit of a neddy "kid who hasn't grown up" type with a bad temper on him, so it seems. You'd have to bench someone like that against Celtic or Aberdeen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly but tbh I’m not sure Wright is good enough to hold down a permanent place in the first team. 14 hours ago, ErsatzThistle said: Been reading about Rangers new signing, Tom Lawrence.

If it wasn't for Watt's goals before he left in January Motherwell would be kicking off this season in the Championship. Incredible we finished 5th hardly won a game in 2022.

Looked a world beater in his first 2 seasons and Parkhead but has flattered to deceive pretty much everywhere else. Othet than needing to freshen up the squad I wouldn’t have been overly disappointed if we’d kept Balogun for another season, still more than capable of doing a job.

What do you think they'll do with Katic and Sakala ? Seen some reports (which I concede may be a lot of pish) that they are looking to sell them.

Seen some reports (which I concede may be a lot of pish) that they are looking to sell them. I'd be surprised if we sell Sakala. He's raw however chipped in with a decent amount of goals last season from the bench (primarily) and looks to be a decent squad player. Katic is a tricky one. He looked decent when he first came over and then got that horrific injury which set him back. We're pretty top heavy with Centre Halves at the moment with Goldson, Souttar, Helander, Simpson, King and Katic. Simpson won't play barring a meteor strike and Helander is incredibly injury prone. I'd prefer to see King get game ahead of Katic so he'd be 5th choice at best so I'd probably be looking to cash in if there was anyone willing to take him for anywhere north of £1M or so.

giblet Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 Josh Doig to Verona for 3 million up front is very good business by the Hibees with additional add ons. Getting his medical done right now. Hibs have a Croatian that Rangers were after 18 months ago lined up to replace him. Marijan Cabraja from Dinamo Zagreb on a free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scotlad Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 Rangers sign Rabbi Matondo from Schalke for 3m Euros. Good signing for them, I reckon. With him and Tom Lawrence signed up, Rangers will probably start most games with more Welshmen in their team than Scots next season! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
