[Music] [Music] Hello folks, and welcome to this installment of our Rangers transfer round-up show. I'm your host today, Andrew Stewart, and with me, Scott Young, how are you mate? Yeah, not bad mate, I'm happy we have. I've not been on one of these sort of long-form ones in a good way, good few months, actually, I've known them in the morning news, and I'm happy we speak a bit more detail about Rangers. Yeah, I'm kind of similar, I've not been on this kind of a transfer-y round-up show, so I think we're kind of two loan signings, if anything, for this part of our content, kind of a program that we've got going on at the minute. Let me kind of, as a club, getting around the bar and signing, you face the press, and the players return for pre-season. Obviously, the last couple of weeks over social media, you would have seen players, you know, training themselves, in certain places, raskin was a way in Belgium doing some early kind of pre-season, pre-season kind of stuff, but the teams arrived back, and we're kind of just looking through the kind of videos that the club have put up, and kind of pointing out, maybe he shouldn't still be here. I mean, I certainly thought that when I seen Scott right, I was a bit surprised, he was still here, that I was, like, quite like I forgot, he still had another year on his deal. But as kind of what we're going to go through today, we're just going to go through, maybe who we think could still be going out the door. There's been a lot of talk over the last few weeks, but it's died down recently of such-and-such as Link Elsewhere, and obviously we had our exits at end of contract, but with the kind of news of player announcements after bad and being silent and slowed down, we're going to look at some outgoing today. Scott, I mean, we've had all the Instagram posts from the players I've left now. Do you think there should be a few more players maybe starting to put that into the Instagram draft for the weeks ahead? Yeah, we can only hope. I mean, you mentioned him there. I think the fact that Scott right is only here because he's Scottish, let's be honest here. Scott was English, I think he's been sold by now, but the fact he takes a home-grown box, I think, is one of the reason why he's here, and we've seen links, so this week, it's not concrete, but some of the more trustworthy guys on Fall of Fall have been talked with Danny Armstrong this week. I would like Danny Armstrong's about to play on Scott right, and he's also Scottish, so if we can get him in, that's an upgrade as a backup winger, and I think the tavern goals and Saudi links have kind of been done to death, but to me, they are two players that would really be a significant move on, not just in terms of what, not just in terms of the fact that normally, when you're sitting at the pub, you get the Rangers team in first two or three names or tavern goals, and if we can go into next season without them on the team sheet, then I think that really signifies our progression in the club, rather than sort of been stuck in our ways, as we have been for however long, the tavern was here since, what, 26? This would be taverns, what, ninth season, give or take, and Goldsons on the way, what, six, five, six year? So really, if we get those two at the door that, and how long was it obviously bad as Jack about he left, that would really be a significant upgrade in terms of moving on from the past, really? Yeah, I think that's kind of been the big ones, this entire summer window, and even before then, as the season was coming to an end of, as it taken, we move on from the two men, as we said, to having Goldsons, I was expecting a few more routes by now, to be fair, I was expecting this to be like, onto teams, and then, and trying to put our guys in a short window, long before now, because as, as football, you know, we're back to pre-season now, we'll get games coming soon, and then, you know, before, you know, that's the Champions League qualifiers. It's, there's no such thing as getting about it at a long-off season, though it's, this is, can I just, rolls on as usual when, when the season finishes? I think I spot on to, to talk about Danny Armstrong, I like, I like, boy, I've seen him, Kelly, a lot last season, kept an eye on him, even the season before, and obviously, I did the wee bit of writing on for the opposition reports this season, but one thing I would say about Danny Armstrong is that, they're both 26, right, and Armstrong, I, I've seen a couple of people into what I was saying, or the young boy, I'm strong at Kelly, the same age, so for me, you know, the thing with Armstrong is if the money's right, I don't know if that maybe would be a swap, I don't think Kelly would be able to pay Scott Wright's wages, depends if Derek would want Scott going the other way, or if Scott's gonna go somewhere and we use that money, but I think... When a chemist would have had about a redeem motive? That was, that's the thing, it's up to him, I feel like, if he still likes him, I still would think he'd be rolling his squad, or if it's gonna be like, if you're gonna go for a kind of one-for-one, you might not be able to do a swap, but we can use the funding from selling right elsewhere to then pursue Armstrong, and I think it's more in that case, I would be happy with it, I think a really good kind of deal, that he certainly looks on-farm in our league, which is something that we've said, the moving things we need to start looking at, but if the price is right, because we know how Scottish teams are, it's the range of tax, so it's one of these ones where it'd be nice, and I certainly would be happy with it, but I'm happy enough, if we're gonna be chasing up a train price tags, then that... Well, it's maybe a look elsewhere, do you think it's at a priority position, that can aside the park? As a winger, yes, because to this date, unless, I'm not sure what his plan is with Cortes, because I think Cortes originally was brought in to be a right winger, anyway, if it seemed off-left, but obviously, C-MEGA ended on the half-court, and they never- I think no, they played- really, they played the girl, C-Man Cortes, maybe like, half an hour or whatever, so I think his plan overall was to use Cortes off-right, so, I think a winger is necessary, whether that is, or if you buy him Munich, whose name I can- Canada, yeah, something like that, that works. Yeah, I've tried not to mention those names yet. Whether it's him or whether it's C-MEGA, I hope we can get back and do whether it's a loan, I think the Brighton manager wants to have a look- the new Brighton manager wants to have a look at so, that says to me that it'll be a later on, that I should maybe even- something like, maybe even a deadline-day thing, similar to Ryan Kent, was I get a few years ago, loan player coming back on a deadline-day, so, I can't imagine the Brighton manager wanting C-MEGA, 'cause Brighton are very- a lot of their sort of style plays down to technique, good technical footballers, and as good as I'd much like C-MEGA, he's not the best technical player, let's be honest here, he's not a close-control dribbler, like- a lot of Brighton players have, like, my Toma, for example, he has a hidden- hidden front end user pace, and I'm not sure Brighton want that in the ringers, so I think C-MEGA is a possibility could join us, but yeah, to me, winger is necessary because we haven't had a right winger since Daniel Condace, and that was five six years ago, we've tried too many players, we tried Ahmed Diallo, who he didn't get a game for whatever reason, huge, didn't he fancy him, he's got what I had mentioned, isn't good enough, you're the best pal, Robby Metondo, he's a left winger, he's not a right winger, as much as he's so much better off left, even I believe he's a bit- he's better off left than he has off right, we haven't had a right winger since Daniel Condace, and that needs sorted, whether it is Cortes or C-MEGA, or this boy if he's buying his name I'm not going to try, we need to sort that wing position out, because it's also hampered to have- folks that have played to have a right wing, but to have a right back, he's been a right back, his whole career, he's not- he's not going to move position, he's going to stay at yard, so we do need a right winger, and as I say, I don't know whether Danny Armstrong's not starting right winger from me, he doesn't start for the Rangers, but he'd be a bit of setting choice right winger than Scott Wright. Yeah, I think you're spot on there, I think your assessment, I think it is definitely a position, we should be trying to straighten to not least, I don't mean we're going to go and spend seven million on it, like we could count, or eight or anything, nuts, but I think it's definitely- we should be looking for the right personnel that suits our system in that position. I kind of go through the kind of- this squad that we've kind of got, I mean one of the names that popped up to me when I seen the pre-season training footage on the on the Twitter kind of as yesterday was Ben Davies on the ball, and I said, I said that anything we've seen him last season, which wasn't a lot to be fair, I said all playing center back, he looks okay in terms of passing the ball, and then as soon as I would say that he then have the ball, time and space, and he put it off the park, to work with my head would have went firmly into my hands. He's somebody that I think we can improve on, definitely, I think he's, he doesn't fact the physicality of our game, it's a shame because the modern football seems to be your center backs need to do everything nowadays, and he'd be able to stride forward with the ball, and he'd have close control in it, be a brilliant passer, but Scotland being Scotland, we are still 20 years behind, and your center half just have to be straight out the jail, and like to use the elbows and kick people, so I don't think Ben Davies suits that style, I think we've seen it in games, he gets out muscle, he gets kind of showing up in the physical battles. That being said, I thought he's last night before five game cameo, the end of the season wasn't too bad, I thought he's a performance in the cup final wasn't too bad either, I think there was some bigger problems in defence in that cup final to be fair with injuries, and people playing taking the injections to play, which left, I can't think, his side with the homage kind of picked to pieces at times, but to me Ben Davies is somebody that is well and truly on the transfer list, I would be accepting offers on him and moving him on, do you think we can even get close to our recook value for what we spent on him, I know it's going to be very difficult for us to do so, but you know these teams down south, you know he's had some experience up here, you know he's European Knights, we should be able to command the semi-decent fee for him. I think they paid close within the region of 4 million for him, so if we can get that off someone then we're more than happy to take it, but my issue with Ben Davies is we saw this last summer, his build tried to put him as well, was his wages, there was no, I think, stock, think, stock wanted him, but they didn't want to pay his wages, and he didn't want to get a wage cut which is more than fair enough, if no one, people, I mean just football fans in general don't realise that this is a job to people, like mine and your everyday life, if you get a job offer and someone's paying you more money you're going to take that job, but if someone's paying you less money you're going to stick to the job you're at, like we've seen it recently, we've seen it very recently with Cordova, knowledge offered him more money than we did, so that's why it's about knowledge, not came to ours, which is more than fair enough, and Ben Davies isn't that same boat, if someone can pay his wages, I think he's got a year left in his deal with two year left, so let's say we send him out on loan for a season and that leaves him with come back here with a year left and he'll then try to put him next season, if they want to take a decent percentage of his wages then I'll be more than happy to do that, but my issue with the senate half isn't as much Ben Davies as John Sir, I'd say I don't meet John Sir very highly, every, like, focusing on always playing the left hand side, he wasn't playing his reach, he wasn't playing his correct side, but if you're, the amount of times I saw him switch off last season, I don't care whether they're left hand center half or right hand side center half, that's not an excuse for switching off and losing on us, you should still be able to run beside the center forward where they're playing the right of the left, and his passing is always fine, so I can't even blame him on his, can't even his passing on the side of his own because passing was alright, it was his positional sense and his sort of defensive awareness from John Sir that I struggled with, so if we can get an upgrade on both of them, I would look to sell both, but there she was Sir as again back to the Scot at right point, I met earlier on, he's Scottish, and we need to keep Scottish players, so to me, I don't think Sir as Davies are good enough to be starting for his next season, I still, in Seattle, juries out, I've never seen a boy play, so I can make a judgement on him, I still think we need a proper starting right side at center half, if we're going to do anything next season, because John Sir, if we start next season with John Sir as one of our first choice, I can't see us win the league. It's such a weird perspective of our defence and our shape, I mean we were in that 11 game win-run in early in the Clomone, kind of when I came in and I thought well I think we could keep such and such, or if we can maybe improve when, at that point I was happy to keep Sir, Sir and Golden, it kind of just all changed when we hit a dip, and I started to question people long term again, it was the kind of happiness of winning games, including my judgement, we touched on the boy from AC there, I still, as I said, I don't have pronunciation down yet, which is, I'm going to blame on the fact that I'm recently back for holiday, so I wasn't keeping an eye on everything, but I've been trying to see where the gap, I think he is going to be in terms of the hierarchy and the centre backs, because I don't know, I don't add a bit of a web card from a bring in this boy young wife of AC and just making my start and centre backs straight away, I don't see that happening, so I think the more we see pre-season, the more I mean the more we see of the boy himself, who you might be in absolute tank and training sessions, you might see other people writing the raving about them and from there you might be a former picture of where they would be, but for now I don't have a clue where he's going to fit in, it's a lot of question marks this season, I mean as we said, you know, to have a goal so we're always going to have the goal, you'd have to have a need to have a goal in your starting sheets, now I don't think that's a given anymore, I think it's rightly so, but you know, we'll move forward up the pathway, but you know, in the midfield they've always said goodbye to Ryan Jack, you're the one-storm, you know, again, the one-storm was a consistent first team sheet kind of guy as well, so we're going to have a lot of question marks around the starting elevators now, there's been a lot to talk about Lawrence and Dil being told to find new clubs, I remember saying that we had set a price on what we would accept for Vince about Todd Cantwell, this is a debate we kind of had on the Thursday live show of you now have Tom Lawrence, Todd Cantwell and Janis Hadji when he returns from his loan, it's kind of like a keep buying sale situation, I don't know where they stand on it, I've said the last season that I was a big fan of Todd Cantwell and I think when he's on his game he could be one of the most creative players in the country, but we're not seeing that enough and I don't know if that is enough in the man, just mind to then start putting him in the shot window as well, would you stand in these kind of three players themselves, these kind of attacking my three others, your Cantwell, your Lawrence and your Hadji? I think Lawrence should go, even his injury record isn't good, and even when he played, I just didn't see it, I just think he's just a liveable old Todd Cantwell, I would keep Cantwell and I'd like to see him what he's like with their players around him, similar with Hadji, I've not, I've never been his biggest fan, but I've always seen there's something there, but I've never thought he's one of the first names of the team sheet, where as the Cantwell, I've always seen Cantwell as Edward main creative hub, but Edward sort of the broader point here is, the rumours are Lawrence, Cantwell, Hadji and Lamas are all up for sale, they're all over number 10s virtually, unless he thinks Alex Lowry is going to turn into Zidane, I can't see he's playing our number 10 next season, it looks to me like I might go a flat three and use our winners for creativity more than a number 10 or I'll create my view though, and I'm not sure I feel about that, I'd like to see how good the winners are first of all, I liked Cortes and his four five games he played, I was really impressed with him, I was really impressed with him, and whoever is, or I don't know whether it's Simon or whoever else I'm enjoying the other one, I'd like to see how good the winners are before deciding where they're selling over number 10 is a good idea, and even if he has won to go a flat three midfield, I would still keep one or two of them in case it doesn't work, and then he can move it back to the four two three one we saw, whether that is Cantwell, I would keep, I think it's been Cantwell and Hargis to stay for me, Lawrence can go, they will answer that mind down when he played, but again he was never fit, never fit when he didn't know about it either, so this is a recurring thing throughout his career, it's not just the Rangers thing, so whether it's a very intrigued about how our midfield shape will be next season, whether it's with a 10 or a flat three or a sort of combination of both, like we saw on the dirt, we're sort of flat three balls from two number 10s, when it was Haggie, and he bore Cant, whoever else. Yeah, it would be interesting to see that I mean it's, I see at times last season you were seeing them across the set, you're playing that flat three, I mean everyone talks about how good a defensive midfield the Calum of Gregra is, but to me, it was more certain in a line when it was more, it felt more like a flat three instead of like the held at anchor and set a defensive mid behind two, I wonder if we're going to try and push away from having like the lunch drum as an anchor and having, you know, the two players kind of run up and having three concurrent players, I mean I think Haggie could work in that, as I said, our mid role was to one thing where everybody says about he's good, he's a good pastor, he's getting a pace, and the same way that we kind of, as Stephen Davis picking out passes and you know, you know, we're on the ball can control the game, but not exactly a runner, a top sprinter, I think Haggie could do that kind of role, I mean he's, he picked out passes that, you know, he would try and send me pro difficulty at amateur difficulty on FIFA, but you bump up all ever when it was flying off the park, each eyes, those passes, he finds those kind of those killer passes. I think he should be somebody that Clement is looking at when he comes back, from his loner, comes back from the euros, I should say, obviously, but we're keeping an eye on how he's doing there, I mean he gets sieved down for a penalty, I think it was an awful tackle. Oh, I still more. Absolutely, that's an awful challenge that skips his shoelace. And he just fell in, Boja Pedro, he's back next season. I'm certainly looking to see what he can do in our team, and I think a golfer should be doing that as well. I mean, it's up to him, he makes his assessment and if Haggie comes back and it doesn't, it doesn't feel like he worked, then we move him on, we try to move him on, as we said, to offer to get players out and get them in at times. Looking forward up the park, something who seems to be a bit of the social media guy now, Daniel, doesn't get shit like Todd does in social media, but I think it's like, you know, they are so happiness around Daniel. I like to see him about more this season, evidently. Because we spent a lot of money on him, and he didn't have a lot of games last season with these facial injury and his legs stopped working. But I'd be happy to see what he can do. I think it's kind of debate now where you know, get rid of Kim Arif, if you could say to your dancers and Daniel, you know, Lam was coming back with playing straight because of Utregh, but I don't think that range of support would be very happy to see Sam Ramos next season. Dessus is probably, I think, if I'm going to give him, that we're going to move on Lamos. Between Daniel and Dessus, we're not going to be able to sell Daniel even if he wanted to, because no team is going to take a punt on that injury, ridden season, and if they do, we're not going to get anyone near how much we spent on him. This makes all sense when you see that Dessus is getting transfer links. I mean, the recurring joke on Twitter this week was that, you know, the Dessus deal was collapsed because he went to sign the contract and missed and signed the table. Although it was funny, I think it still is something that the club should be pushing. I think we could potentially be doing better than Dessus, and he did have a decent return. I think he's definitely a sellable asset. Yeah, my answer to Dessus, I've been one that's been on here and thought Dessus was a lot better the first half of last season than a lot of people gave him credit for. I thought he'd done, there was more to his game than some folk were looking out on Twitter especially, but my answer to Dessus is he's not, whatever his gold record was, or whatever you think of him. Dessus is not good enough to be our starting center forward next season, so he's a setting, he's a setting choice center forward, and he's probably on the north of Twitter and the week. I don't imagine on because he was doing negotiations probably on Thursday, but he's probably on somewhere between 20 and 30 grand a week, and that's far too much money between a setting choice center forward. So if we can put them, I think we've gotten for four or five million pounds, maybe we've made a round of it that month, four to five million pounds we've gotten for. So we get any region of that back, guess his wages off the books, and we could sign a center forward, whether that is this Eggamani or a VC named the Moroccan boy, who's probably going to be named next week, whether that's him or someone else, they're going to be on a lot less than that, and we'll probably get his same return that Dessus would need even more as a setting choice center forward, because Dessus return was as our only starting striker, to be honest. Five years old, we tried five years of silver, it's didn't work, roof has got no knees, the rillow is always injured as well, so Dessus was basically our only option to play out front, please try to see my seamers all right there, but then get injured again. So to me, selling Dessus to the cook the money, get his wages off the books, and sign someone who is good enough to be a setting choice center forward, and on half the wages. I mean, yeah, that's a piece of business that I think a lot of the main just fans would be open to it, as we said, the people in Toire, who don't exactly agree with yourself and me, I wasn't very much in the camp of that's just so striker, we have glass cannon camera roof, injured, and then you all looks good, but I've only seen them.

I'm looking at more of my phone here at the squad. I said we bit behind them, but Ruth Desser was right. Stirling, Matondo, Danilo, Fabio Silver at McOsland. Even just looking back at that now, if I didn't be very close to the title, it's certain fights this season. It's weird when you think of injured, or only straight, it's got me. It felt like a thud's voice wearing out. He was there because he ticked the box. Yep. If I didn't even get to stare, he's a right winger. Matondo, Danilo, who was injured, Silver, who God knows some dispense that I'm out of money to bring up England and McOsland. Who, again... I'm always going to come out of some money on Jenski on convinced. It's like Alvaro Marata to Chelsea, between Chelsea and Rialle, but it was between a theoretical Rialle, a theoretical Rialle, Rial to Chelsea, Rial to Chelsea. You've been somewhere in Europe? Yeah, you've been in there, definitely some sketchy movement of money. It's that, that's one of his... James Trafford, James Trafford, 90 million perner bond late, now he's away as a junior council. He's not alone. He's investigated because he's shocking. There's a more damning statement being made about transfers and football and modern football these days. I don't want to start pointing out big teams in case. We end up in a ditch somewhere after exposing too much. I'm just looking back at this squad right now. I've just seen, so Bond was obviously gone, but Red Van and Brazilian that we've now gone. Hefti, hefti, yeah. Are you happy without those two as you're left back for the upcoming season? I think Red Van was good. I think he was certainly one of his game. He looked like a teddy player and then we've got a kind of wild card in this slide. With hefti, I've not seen enough of him at a decent level to give you an honest assessment, but do you feel that you're happy with those two being your left back options this season? I need to see the boy play. I don't like making judgements and rangers to what I seem to have written off half of Chinese before I get into, but I like yeomas. I've always kind of like yeomas. I've always thought, get him around the game with me. I actually think we've done a lot, a lot more last season if he was fit, because him being fit, maybe we could put styling in my laparque, take lunch to me at the back and shoot him in the head. So, we've been able to get a styling in the middle of the park a bit more flat, it says more legs, it's quicker, and moving yeomas in left back. So I think we've done a lot more last season if yeomas was fit. But yeah, I like yeomas hefti, I don't know. It's the same with all of our signs apart from calling a baron. I've not seen any of them, so I can't make a judgement until we play. I'll make, I'll make my first judgement a lot of them after five, six competitive games. I'm no mate the same mistake of the last season, pre-season, so I thought some llamas were well better in last pre-season than they had. So, I'll wait for pre-season, I'll wait till first, I'll wait till after first of all, I'll make a judgement on how good I think a lot of our players are signing off. Yes, this is the weird feeling of having a player trade model now, is that because we're not directly signing from the English Championship now, it's hard to make an assessment in players that I've never seen before. I have to say it's, if someone tried to talk about them and I try to speak on a podcast, it's very difficult to think of things to see that isn't just coming up with something on the fly to talk about these lads, because as I can't see, I was watching the Separate League last season, I can't tell you how good hefty he is, I can't see him, I was watching what AS Rabat last year, so I can't tell you how good his money is. I certainly wasn't watching the Italian under 20s league, so I can't tell you how good he is, I can't tell you how good he is, I can't tell you how good he is, because I've seen him playing Scotland, I thought he was definitely a good player, I think he's definitely have won a watch with that deal, let's just see how long Abel Dino dragged out in the courts, but I think that's more an assessment of where we're going to be in the future now with our transfer dealings, especially with Copin and Clemente, is that when we've definitely taken a U-turn away from your English Championships and primarily released players, we're now looking far and wide for talent, and if that talent is the real deal, then long make continue, it's just a bit of a shock to the system, isn't it, Scott, that they're now very far away from what is the norm of the injured English Championship players? Well you see that, but this week you've been heavily linked with Kenny McLean, so I don't know how much to do, I don't know how to dive into that one, but no, it is true that we are looking, we are looking at these on top markets, these good Mohamed Dea Mandy, that's a perfect example, I've seen enough of Dea Mandy that tells me he is the first name in my material next season, who you put around the world, stealing, raskin, baron, whoever else can't well hire you, whoever you want to put me, we'll make a bit, apart from that boy Garcia, I'd actually rejected a new deal, read that somewhere, so could be it him through though, who is your more apart native, this is according to you underground people, he is more your anchor, your lunchroom, the placement, so don't know whether we are going that sort of one two or the two and the ten, so yeah I like the fact that we're looking at these players who earn these good talents, who are on small wages, like I think Dea Mandy was on two grand a week, week came at him and went, we could go in, we'll quadruple your wage, get eight grand a week, he's taken up lunchrooms, place lunchroom was on north of 30 grand a week apparently, so that is my, that's a thought of lunchrooms wage, going to Dea Mandy and Dea Mandy's a bit of problems on lunchroom, so if we start, if we continue to do that, finding these gems on low wages, big talents, that's, and proves that Chatter's a wage bill, which has been at an issue for years, and also young players sell on fee, so, and also gets a good team obviously, but it's more financial, I look at this and think these markets are great to go into, the sort of wage bill out which has needed to sort in it for ages, close like rufflers on 30 grand a week, Jack, wasn't he far off that, and I think Celtic's highest paid plus, Cal and McGregor are going to 30 grand a week, we had too many players around about that, too many buying average players around about that, so they're paying the players less money than us, and obviously getting better results in the park, and that needs fixed, so sorting a wage bill out is one way to go about sorting a wage bill out by looking in these markets and getting these talented gems on low wages is a good way to start going about it. You mentioned a name, obviously we just spent all the time talking about the, you know, the youngsters from far and wide, Kenny McLean, it doesn't seem to be going away, that's the thing, you know, sometimes in this kind of silly season you get one room and you go, "I jog on", but it just doesn't seem to be going away, that's been a couple of weeks now that there's been, you know, talk that he's interested, obviously he's a Rangers man, Rangers are interested, but it's the fact that his age is obviously the main one, and the time left in his contracts, it's not going to be a free transfer that we'd be looking at, that's the thing that slightly worries me that unless we are, we are under the impression in Norwich, I'm just willing to get him off the books, and are willing to take a very small price, that we're going to be planting a million, a million plus on Kenny McLean, his age, I get, if this is Kenny McLean a couple of years ago, I get it, I mean it was, it was a contract a few years ago and we didn't look at him, this after his contract renewal, this is where we stand now at Norwich, I feel like this is a flashback to like 2018 and Rangers have slipped through a wormhole and thought Kenny McLean's now like 26 again and they're top talent, they've slipped, that's a name I can totally forgot about and I mean just up, but yeah I mean that sums it up here, I think it's somebody that's been around the block, knows the club, but we've got game dorms and a free transfer, I'm worried about how much we might have to pay to get Kenny McLean. I saw a giraffe of your start hopes, so I giraffe it was like interceptions, like distance cover, that kind of thing, and Kenny McLean was right at the top of it, like he was top, he was the most kid, like he was far away the biggest defensive midfield in English championship last season, so that screams to me, we are looking, he would fit in that midfield three that I've thought about, whether it's him and the Amanda of his first name is you, whether it's Baron, Raskin, Sterling, or Kenny McLean in that three, I wouldn't be against it, I get more, I know I say I know I made the game dorms shout, but I get big Scott our field vibes from this one, more than I do game dorms, great I think game dorms the only sort of similar ice to Scottish and technology, but I get big Scott our field vibes, someone who will run his arse off for the team, I saw that with his sort of Norwich graph as I mentioned, he will run his arse off and we've seen from Scotland, he's good for a, he's good to get the odd goal, we saw it obviously the Norwich, no, no, no, just game, the Norway game, we got that last minute winner, making late runs into the box, that very much feels like Scott our field, and he's similar to the Scott our field sign to me, I think he's 32, Scott our field wasn't he far and after that we've signed him, probably round about that. I think so, yeah. The fee is, I wouldn't pay any more than one and a half, one million pound for Kenny McLean, if that's the two million pound mark that's out the window for me, but if we do get Kenny McLean, it's, again, Scottish, homegrown, Scott Wright can leave. So, to me, it's not the worst idea, come on, I don't know if you saw this, come on during just TV interview, came out all that long ago, came up today, he was probably bringing an experience, he said he's got up with his young boys, now he's looking to get more sort of experience and Kenny McLean fits that bill, so I wouldn't be against the Kenny McLean sign in. I don't hate the player, and people have been screaming for Scott our field replacement, and I think Kenny McLean fits the bill, Scott our field more than a lot of other players we've been liked to. Yeah, I mean, it's been a bit of talk about Kenny McLean and he's, he's kind of become a utility player now for Norwich in the way that you can play him anywhere and you'll get a good performance out of him, you'll get 100% effort. I think that it's another, you know, it's a useful tone, you're a utility belt, I mean, we've talked last season about how useful Dojo and Sterling is the fact that he can play anywhere. I think there's, I think McLean can do the our field late runner, you know, he can pop up in the box and find your goal, and at the same time I think he can do that kind of similar, kind of Jack and Davis will have been a wee bit deeper in my field as well. I think it is, I think if the money's right, as you said, if you can get in Kenny McLean, move on a Scott Wright. Assuming the money's right for this McLean deal, I think if we're, if we're really going to be throwing the money, we're pushing the boat out from McLean and I think that's completely goes against our principles. Understand that, you know, for every 18 year old player you're going to need to get a 28, 29 year old. But if you're going to be paying through the nose and on that 28, 29 year old and then you identify it as 32 for Kenny McLean, if I, I don't know how I feel about that, it's one of these things that I don't know if it's just the cautious person saying we're going money needs to be right, money needs to be right, money needs to be right. I think we have been spot on with some of the prices chucked around for the players so far, which has all been very little, has to be said. I would be okay with those sending Kenny McLean. I think it would have to be low wages, it would have to be low transfer value and I think Kenny McLean would be relatively happy this time of his career taking up a small wage cut. I think he would command the reputation he's had, they've been doing south for so long. But I think as they're in just man and I'll make you take some of that, you take a deductible amount off of it to keep playing at a youth boyhood club. It's one of the advantages to see how this continues because as we said, it's not going away. The one, one deal that I was just looking at quite clearly is our boy from Bucharest, at the striking option, Raph Mani, I think it is. That seems to be something that's grown to a whole quite significant way, which I think coincides with our Moroccan lad coming in. I think a lot of people were very happy that we were linked with Raph Mani on Twitter, but I think that one's probably when we were going to get priced out on. I think they've got an idea of how much money they want and we are not going to go near it. I think we tried and we failed. I think we move on. I think it'll be a sad one for being just to be the usual Twitter guys I look at. People were ranting and raving about the boy, but I'm right behind this Moroccan lad. Again, this is the question I'm going to give you on it. I don't know, we can't make a judgement yet, but what was your reaction to the Moroccan lad that I feel so horrible saying the Moroccan like, I don't know the lad's name yet. I think it's horrible when you don't know that you can't pronounce something, but we'll get used to it when he scores a hat trick and stuff like that. Right, obviously. With him, I was quite excited because like you, I've obviously never watched. I'm not big Moroccan football guy, but apparently, managed with him, apparently we won't get him until September, October time because he's probably going away with Morocco at the Olympics. So whether we start the season with Danilo up front, or we bring in a mistake, whether it is Ramani or someone else, I'm not going to say the name Lon Shantland because I'm sick today to speak of a Lon Shantland. I thought it was, I think if it was going to happen, it would happen to January. But to me that ship sailed. Partly Clement was never as big as Fan either, which isn't the end of the world. And Shantland's all right, but let's move on to the man who can bore the talkin' about him. Whether that is Ramani, or Agamani's way with Morocco, we'll probably end up startin' the season with Danilo, and that'll probably end up mean we need to keep vessels, or we're signin' our center forward, because based on Danilo last season, we can hear him as our only center forward startin' the season. So the striker links with Agamani, I like the player from what I've seen, I don't trust YouTube completions, 'cause I've been done too many times, my YouTube compilation. All the scout reports all say this boy's a talent, and apparently he's rapid as well, and we don't have a lot of fast players. Carter seemed quick, but that's about it. We don't really have a lot of speed in our team. I probably have these fairly quick, which is good, but we do need more pace in our tack. The causes are the quickest. Stylings are the quickest. My Tondo, my Tondo's not rapid, he's fairly quick, but for our winner, you probably want him to have even quicker. So to have this boy's a partly rapid upfront, it's good especially for Europe, because it means we can, if he's strong and quick, maybe he can get the ball out of the club quicker. So to me, Agamani seem I like the player from everything I've read, scout reports, stats, that kind of thing, but we do probably need another one to sort of seize through the first quarter of the season, because as I said, he's probably going away at the Olympics. I think that's been one of the common reasons why it's not been announced yet, I think, is that Rangers are waiting to see that kind of confirmation, and from the other kind of announced it as he has signed, but due to such and such, we won't get him for a while. It's a shame, I mean, this is the place to play with this kind of markets. I mean, we talked about how good the ballastima was, and then it goes to AFCO, and then it gets injured. It's another one of these, just this football, it's the territory. I think it would be interesting to see, you know, I'll certainly go watch the Olympics, and watch the football in the Olympics, if it is the case, just to get a kind of eye on him, but I think if that is the case, and we're not going to have him for a while, we might see Saril Desser still being here. I mean, those are just three kind of striking options. The Nail would Desser as a commander, which then turns to two, right back where we were last season. Obviously, the Nail would start a last season, wasn't fat, or was injured, which put a lot of the pressure on to Saril Desser's. I think having two, in fact, I think we could get by, I think, it's a shame that we have to say, I think we could get by, but I mean, it is, but it is, if we have other positions, as we said, wingers are a new first team right back to pick the right player, and if the price tag is going to be a big on that, then I think we can bite the bullet to get a starting right back. I think having those three up front, we just need to deal with it. I think that is what it is. If it does mean that it's not Romani, as we said, I'd be happy with it as long as we're not, you know, sitting on her hands in all her positions. If that is the case, those are the three strikers that's what you're dealing with, but we can spend on a good center back and on our top right back. I'd be okay with that. I think prioritising all our positions allows me to look by that, because I think, as I think we've said before, we have other areas in the team we really need to prioritize, Scott. Yeah, I mean, I'm happy to get by, but to me, Danilo, the jury's very much still out with him, because we didn't see him play a lot, and it's even he did play. I remember his last, it probably was his last game. He missed a lot of chances. He had four setters in front of goal, hit the keeper, hit the bar, put it over, and I watched that game and thought, "That's this, he's getting a lot more sick than Danilo got." So, the jury's very much still out with Danilo. I remember flying on fan messaging me about him saying, "He's not bad, but he won't get you to where he goes." And to me that, I kind of saw that in his first few games. He got the header against Hart, so it's the last minute winner. They'd go against Johnson that injured him. Again, I hated that. He's a small guy, he wins a lot of headers to be fair to him, but jury's very much still out with him. And yeah, as you said, we do need to prioritize right here position, mention right wing, that needs sortie. Midfield, as I said, I don't know what the script is, midfield. I don't know what Clement wants to do with it. Whether that is a flat three, a one, a six, and two eights, or two eights, then a ten, whatever he wants to do with it, I'm not going to call it midfield because I don't know what he wants to do. Whether that is saying a ten, saying an eight, saying a six, whatever. Right back, obviously, he's sorted and sent a half, needs sortie. Off top of my head, that's four positions that brought that world cost. We'll need to replace tabs, numbers in some way, probably more assist numbers because if you can't find someone to get out of penalty, then there's no point in asking out the department. So, if we can find out if someone didn't get his, I was ten assists, he got in the league last season. If we can get a winger and get his ten assists, or a wing at seven and a right back and get three, something like that, then that I'm more than happy with that. And yeah, seven and a half needs sorted because I can't, as I said, I can't get a season with goals in there, can you go in this season, sort of starting by lagging state six. I like by lagging, I'd be like by lagging, but he's not, can you be starting that thirty-six year old. In Seattle, can't mention him. I've heard that the world's killing, but I see if we're going over to the comments that I have, which excites me. But again, I've never seen him play, so I can't really come in. So yeah, there's a lot of positions that need sorted. And if we could do start a season with the Nillow, the Nillow and the Ss as our two center forwards, and they get managed to come in the comments next month, they probably will need help, in terms of numbers. And that's where you look at Cortes, you look at whatever right-wing I'll be saying, whether there's this Bayern kid or look at midfield, Harges are right for a goal, if Ken McLean signs he's all right for a goal. We do need, the strikers need help, because vessels get 20 or goals to have get five non-penetary goals. We get 17 goals and 12 of them are penalties. So we need help from players around about them, and that's where I look at the wings. As I mentioned, Cortes, I like Cortes, he likes to shoot, which we missed. I like how Kent was never a short monster. We've not really had any short monsters from the white from my days in years since Kent days, some circuit talking about. So we need to sort that, we need to get winners who will get you between 10, between seven and 10 goals, easy. Well the goal, Mr Corpin, if you're listening, that's where we stand, there's a support. Give us a job. I hope to agree with that. These are the things we need to look at for the start of the season, and as we said, that's slowly, not to be fair, it's not. It's certainly creeping its way up, as certainly we'd probably expect it to, but as for all these days, not too long before we play, you know, I ask, I've got a union, a United Birmingham, which is straight into my campaigns, the qualifiers, which are going to be crucial, given the fact that they are straight in again this year. But lots and lots to keep going on with, and only start to ramp up as we get closer and closer to it. So I think that's where we'll wrap up today. I would like to thank my guests today. Scott, thanks for coming on, lad. Now that worries me, I enjoyed this. I had a good long-form chart, which I've not really had in months, so now I enjoyed it. Yeah, I certainly enjoyed it as well. Just kind of up-talking all things rangers, as always, which I'll never stop being happy to do. So yeah, I think it'll wrap us up today. Thanks to listening to this one, they're more coming from us in the coming days, weeks, months, as the season starts to really kick into high gear. But until next time, thanks for listening.
