Agree, our midfield is decent but I'm still not completely convinced by McEneff. I think Jamie McGrath would be better in that role.

Yep McGrath i would take, he is a top player and definitely an upgrade on mceneff but I'm sure we will be blown out the water financially by some english championship team unfortunately.

The Scottish press seem convinced he's going to Aberdeen.

Now Kingsley and Haring please

Yes Kingsley and Haring, I agree.

[Cruyff]

Pete's been motm just about every game he's played this season. Definitely needs a new contract. Key part of our squad and he's probably content with not being first choice these days but he's certainly good enough to be as we've seen when Beni has been out.

 

Smithy is good for another year and I think that's automatically triggered when he plays 30 games, barring injury he should make. 

 

Good squad being built here. Get Ogashiwa and a class CF and we're not needing major work done in the summer, just needing a wee touch more quality.

So long Jamie Walker and thanks. One of our own and Jambo through and through. If only he got his old form back. Bradford will love you if you do. 

 

That was eye wateringly wonderful. We ought to sign this Jamie Walker fellow.

[Rick Sanchez]

McGrath on a pre contract and letting GMS leave at the end of the season would be good business. I don't mind GMS but his better days are behind him and I think we need more sellable talent in the squad.

 

One or two good seasons with us and McGrath has a good 3m+ potential IMO.

A very good squad coming/staying together. 
 

was confident Kingsley was re-signing when the “Findlay not a target” headline popped up. glad to see it appears to be coming true. He would be hard to improve on, is settled and has got 5 years in the tank if injuries allow. Like another Mikey Smith. Nice to see some bedrock getting tied down to build upon.

Speak for yourself, I'd signed Beni on FM well before Savage picked him up.

[jamboinglasgow]

So if Kingsley does sign to at least 2024, it means for the next two and a half seasons we have:

 

                       Gordon

Atkinson Halkett    Kingsley    ?

   ?           Devlin   Beningime    ?

                  ?              ?

 

Imagine any new striker (unless on loan) will be at least a 2 and a half year contract. So we are building a strong team which has some stability contract wise that allows us to build. If we can sign Cochrane up permanently and take Moore then we have a strong defence.

He might well end up at Ibrox, but there's absolutely nothing in that story to suggest he's made his mind up.

 

"Seriously considering the idea of staying in Scotland"

 

"Gers could be the frontrunners"

 

"Souttar could declare his next destination by the end of the week".

 

All ifs buts and maybes for a clickbait story.

Good for Souttar. I hope he has wonderful career at Ibrox, helps them win things and then gets move down South enabling Rangers to make £millions whilst we are satisfied with tiny fee.

 

Maybe we could insert clause in any new signings we make that allow Rangers/Celtic to move for them if they are a success for a pittance, a pittance we should be eternally grateful for, of course.

 

I look forward to reading media, should this transfer happen, when Souttar explains that Rangers only club for him and that he had to challenge himself by going to club who play with officials in pocket each week. No doubt he will thank Hearts for last few seasons, almost as if he pretends to give a toss about club and support, whilst making sure we get minimum back and he and his agent coin it in 

 

I hope none of our supporters would consider booing him on return to Tynecastle or hope he is injured. Instead we should applaud him on to park and hope he plays brilliantly against us. The Corinthian spirit I believe.

Here's a more balanced report (don't bother clicking) - 

 

https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-transfer-news/john-souttar-ready-rangers-transfer-25921500

 

...it's basically saying that the 'SUN are reporting'..... (genuinely!) They're just telling us that there's a report in the Scum saying he's choosing Rangers! Can these redtops get any worse!?

 

It also, more accurately states, there are 3 offers on the table that Souttar is considering! WTAF.

 

FTOF... and their sycophantic, rim-licking, weegie-media whankers.

[Clear few]

I for one would never boo Soutter should he line up for the ****s 11 against us.

If he sign for that mob he is a 🔔🔚 and dead to us.

With Walker, Roberts, Gnando etc all leaving - we should have some salary space free to throw about. I'm wondering why we're not trying to sign Jamie McGrath. We should be the club signing the best players available from our league. 

I guess we've probably had to offer wage rises to Halkett and Kingsley but I think McGrath would be a great addition to the squad.

 

thats traditionally the bigot brothers isn't it? hoovering up the best players from the opposition to dump them in their reserves to weaken the rest of us?

Beni and Devlin getting all the rave reviews and seem to be first choice in everyone's mind but we've played our best football this season in games Haring plays... 

Either we find a way to play all 3 at a time, one of Beni or Cammy drop to the bench or we rotate between the 3. Can't really argue with the stats. Haring needs to play and he's too good to just be a backup.

For me, rotation is a must. Beni played a lot of games in a row then got an injury. There’s a lesson there. We’ve got 3 quality DMs, use them.

totally agree. Beni and Devlin are great at breaking up play, winning the ball back and rarely give away possession. Haring offers something slightly different with his passing and creativity.

[Selkirkhmfc1874]

Disappointed if Souttar goes along the M8 but if he does sign there hopefully we can get decent fee for him now

If we sign two mobile forwards (two strikers/striker and winger or 10), I could see a 3-5-2/3-5-1-1 working when necessary in Glasgow (or away in the European group stages if we’ve points on the board!). 
 

Haring can contribute to attacks and score, Cammy keeps the ball moving, Beni can carry forward. With two proper wingbacks, one forward who can hold up and one who can run in behind, we could conceivably run a system with 3 CBs and three nominal holding midfielders. All 3 have got game. They’re not out and out blockers. 
 

However, giving them free reign to get stuck in and not worry about bookings also works. First one to a yellow and two fouls gets a rest.

He isn't even away yet and already I don't give a feck about him.Just go I'm not even bothered where it is now I'm bored reading about him.

 

He has been largely very good for us but I don't blame him for being all out for himself as he is one injury away from playing anywhere else.

If we can get Kingsley and Haring signed up to play alongside Beni and Devlin we will have a great combination of defenders  and midfielders. Haring, Kingsley and Halkett, all in their mid to late 20's, are in their prime, and Haring especially was back to the form he had before his long injury. Beni was suffering a bit due to being overplayed (imo) before his injury, so a rotation of Haring, Beni and Devlin in midfield would be ideal.
