Ra Midfield & Wingers

Grezda has done nothing to suggest he warrants another year. He obviously has real pace and good ability - but like Barisic - doesn't seem to be up for the agricultural style of a lot of our opponents in Scotland.

Did you see Grezda when he came on against Killie a month or so ago - the boy Boyd I think it was sent him about ten feet up in the air and nearly halfed him in two. You can just see with Grezda that our league isn't for him.

I wouldn't push the boat out for Kent. Yes he can be the match winner in OF games. But 90% of the time Murphy will probably deliver more goals and assists.

With the number of wingers we have I would rather we pushed the boat out for a quality number 10 rather than blow our budget on Kent.

Agree Jack will just never be good enough for Gers. Hes an OK fetch and carry plaer, a decent link man. But although he has improved second half of the season he generally gets a nosebleed every time he enters into the final third.

Jones and Stewart are squad fillers for me. Stewart is particularly baffling. He would have done a job for us in the Championship but not now. Its a McCoist type lazy signing that one.from the edge of the box

Hastie (if the deal ever gets announced) is good one for me. He has pace, power and a great dig from the edge of the box which we miss. If he can kick on he will become an asset and take over from Candeais on the right.

Agree about Kamara. He looked a bit lightweight at first but he actually doesn't seem to mind mixing it when he has to. Elegant on the ball, great passing between the lines. Absolute steal for £50k.

Docherty I would give a chance to.

Dorrans would be a great option to have if fit but wont be holding my breath on that one.

Other than that - sell Morelos and buy two centre forwards, a quality number ten and a quality CB.

Stewart is for the no10 role surely, hopefully as cover only.

Jones annoys me more i think because it's got the potential to stunt Middleton's progress and his end product is shocking.

They will be asking daft money for Kent if he is to be sold, can't see us blowing much of our budget on an area in which we are overstocked when we are crying out for CB's.

Middleton plays centre forward for the reserves and has scored for fun.

That might be an option for him - he is too one dimensional as a winger. Always goes outside onto his left foot.

Could well be, i do think he's a good finisher.

Seems to be a fair few young guys at Rangers just now that can finish.

Hardie and Rudden both doing well on loan too.

Hopefully one or two can get a chance next season.

Yip.

Rudden just took a host of awards at the Falkirk POTY do. Playing in a struggling team and standing out as a striker at just 18 years old suggests he has something about him.

Agree about Middleton - the accuracy and composure he shows in his finishing is excellent.

Dapo Mebude is one who definitely can finish in the youth team as well.

If the rumoured interest in Jack is true, I'd entertain a bid.

Also wouldn't be sad to see any of Dorrans, Rossiter or Docherty sold/released in the window. Can see them all being retained mind you.

On wingers, I'd keep Murphy as his end product before he was injured was pretty surprising. Kent won't be back, and Grezda will be sold I reckon. Arfield has looked a lot better in the more advanced role he's been playing mind so I'd keep him there.

Jones/Candeias/Hastie aren't good enough (although Hastie appears to have some potential) so again its a position we may look weak in.

Hopefully we can find a way to keep Kent.

Squad full of journeymen.

Hope you keep them all.

I thought Kamara was quite impressive against Aberdeen.

I feel dirty now.

Hate to say it but I agree.

Feel worse seeing as I was writing him off as a haddie just as the game kicked off

I have said all season Kamara is a good player. Stood out while playing for the wee team across the road.

Still can't believe Rangers are signing Greg Stewart. Especially after his second unsuccessful stint at Aberdeen.

Kamara looks nice and tidy on the ball, i think Jack does a similar role though so you wonder if there's space for both of them in midfield.

Look at you trying to win the ex back by having a fresh OJ on the table.

Bet you're reading the Herald as well and eating some avocado's.

We should look to try and get the boy Turnbull from motherwell. A great prospect, 19, with 12 goals in the league.

He is the box to box midfielder we need. I reckon him Kamara/Jack and Davis would be a well balanced midfield.

posted on 29/4/19

Well balanced indeed.

Pash on the left, pash in the middle and pash on the right.

Who is rumoured to be interested in Jack?

Is Lampard coming to splash more of his Derby dollars on mediocre Scottish league players?

posted on 29/4/19

Someone mentioned stockpiling average midfielders. Spot on. Long may it continue

Give me one quality creative midfielder and I'm happy with what we have

That would do me as well.

We need 2 CB's and probably a LB if Barasic gets punted.

Then prob a striker to replace Morelos.

Focus has to be on quality rather than numbers.

Sure that I read something about Southampton having an interest.

Not entirely sure where though and completely possible that I dreamt it

posted on 29/4/19

Southampton were rumoured to be interested in Arfield.

Why the fook would an EPL team want Ryan Jack?

Just don’t see it tbh

posted on 29/4/19

Stockpiling midfielders has worked for Celtic.

Docherty deserves s chance, we’ve lacked an attacking midfielder.

I’d definitely loan out McCrorie and Middleton they need regular games. Loan out Grezsda too, let him cut his teeth somewhere else and get some cash back if we can.

McPake should be given appearances next season in same way Middleton, but we’ve that many options in his way it’s daft.
