I don’t buy this particular insider snippet. we bid £8m-£9m for the player that went to Benfica in Jan. Yes we have bought EMC but there will be some left for transfers in my view. Clearly we will and can do more if the Vik money comes in.

Based on what ?

Almost certainly leaked by his agent to flush out whether there is Premier league interest at that price. I think we would want more than that anyway. I don’t believe he would leave us for another championship club, unless it was Leeds following today’s match. Leeds is still a big attraction...

On reflection your right. Bring back Sisu ! 🤣

My guess is that we have not brought him over from Oz to train with the under 23’s …. But ultimately Robins will have to decide whether the first team squad is too early for him.

No one knows yet. He will be assessed in pre season and then I’m sure a decision will be made on where his levels are at relative to the first team squad.

Bosmans are not free. It’s a misconception. The signing club simply give a huge signing on fee and inflated wages to the player rather than having to give some of that money for the transfer. if McCallum had been available for £2.5m I doubt we would have the same fan sentiment toward signing...

Yes I understood that I just don’t see us paying £8m on an understudy …..

Agreed. Although he was to compliment Simms and wright not be their understudy. He’s hardly featured at Benfica. I wonder if we would consider trying to loan him in for a season.

We also failed to beat Cardiff, Birm, Hull, etc etc with one of these options available. If Simms was to be injured or suspended and Wright went through the middle you are really hoping that Borges is an unbelievable find if he has to be able to come on / start most matches.

Tavares isn’t a winger or a wide player. He had a great impact against United because of his pace but we all know he can’t beat a man and his final delivery is that of a striker playing out of position. I could see merit in keeping him as striker option number 4 but im sure he needs to be...

Because Robins had decided that he wanted to change our options at left back and McCallum isn’t the only available left back.

I haven’t seen enough of Rapha to know whether this is the quality competition for Tats that Adi talked about. I suspect they might have another line up too but let’s see.

I’m not suggesting 3 players per position. im suggesting 2 players per position. Left wing and right wing are not the same position. We currently have EMC and Wright for the left and Tats / Raphael for the right. I still think we will sign another wide right player in addition to Raphael who...

I also think we will sign at least one more proven wide player, probably right sided. IF we go to a 4-4-2 formation then we may also see a further left sided wide player join too. We can’t go into a season with just EMC and Tats as our wide players with Wright and Simms through the middle. If...

2 of those 4 were not signed as wingers …..

How many kits and new sponsors have been revealed in the top 2 leagues ??? The EFL season hasn’t even officially finished yet.

Man City and Liverpool both have revenues of over €700m. This isn’t the right comparator data.

They would not even be in the top 10 and light years behind the top 6. Leicester had revenue of £280m in their last year in the Premier League.

A pre season friendly against a championship side won’t prove anything on how well Rangers would do in the Premier League.
