    £4.5m to Rangers?

    Rangers have only spent that amount (or slightly more) on a handful of players in the last 12+ years.  No chance they are going to drop that on him.

    Pretty sure we were linked with this lad for a while.


    We were linked with him and the other Southampton lad Tyler Dibling

    Can someone remind me how Sesko's appearance in Newcastle with his agent was explained away? Can't remember if it was summer or last January. 

    It was July 2022 and it was only his agent that was spotted/posted on Insta.  It was assumed it would be in regards to Sesko, I think mostly because his roster of clients wasn't that great.  He was over a few weeks before Sesko signed the pre contract with Leipzig.

    Not sure I want Tierney, I dont think hes tactically flexible which I think Howe will want, he cant really invert and cant play CB so we would be changing our system. I think we need an Ake type.

    Think he's played LB, RB and left-sided centre back in a 3 for Scotland?

     

     

     

     

    He does play as the left sided centre back for Scotland and has done for a while now.  When Arteta was playing with a back 3 he was also used in that position there and is/was used as an overlapping wide centre back.

    His injuries are a concern but if Howe is looking for a Burn replacement, in that he wants a left back that can tuck in when Trippier bombs forward, he is actually an ideal replacement as he has both the defensive attributes whilst being a far better attacking option than Burn when allowed to get forward.

    I don’t think Gerrard will be as bad as Lampard either, he seems to have something more about him. 

     

     

     

     

    He does, Michael Beale.  But QPR are interested in him as their manager so will be interesting to see how he gets on should he move on.

     

    At Rangers it was often said that whilst Gerrard was a good man manager and had "pull", Beale was the main man behind the scenes in terms of tactics etc.

    It's been well proven that Keegan's defence wasn't half as bad as most make out. As usual it's just lazy journalism. Yeah he liked to play attacking football but the defence wasn't too bad and I'd say if we had of had Schmichael in goal we'd have been a lot better


    Aye the age old myth that Man United with Pallister and Bruce had a solid defence whilst ours was apparently a mess (in particular Darren Peacock getting singled out) when in reality the 95-96 season we only conceded two more goals than Man United.

    "He's never had the opportunity at managing a club who can go and spend proper money. He's managed teams in the Premier League like Wigan, Birmingham, Hull City… his win ratio in the Premier League has been questioned umpteen times - do people really expect massive win percentages when you're managing clubs like that?
