GingerFurball Posted May 13, 2007 Author Share Posted May 13, 2007 My End of season squad report. 2. Andy Webster A loan signing who looks likely to be brought on board permanently despite not kicking a ball in the 5 months he's been here. However, with 2 centre halfs in their mid 30s, we need someone in their mid 20s who can be the rock at centre half for the next 5 years. Webster was one of the best defenders in the SPL at Hearts, and is the best Scottish centre half around. Verdict: Stick 3. David Weir I and many others had my doubts about signing him, however he has proven to be a revelation. Distribution is not the best, but his most important attribute is his experience, and what he brings to others in the back line - Hutton, Papac and Svensson have all improved playing alongside him. Verdict: Stick 4. Thomas Buffel The most infuriating member of the first team squad. He clearly has talent, but has flattered to decieve too often in his 2.5 years in Glasgow. Possibly too lightweight for the demands of the SPL. Verdict: A reluctant Twist 5. Sasa Papac Did not rate him at all when he first arrived - has improved a great deal playing alongside David Weir, and has shown enough about him to suggest that while he might not be a regular first team pick, he's good enough to act as cover in a number of positions in the back line. Verdict: Stick 6. Barry Ferguson Has caused headaches for the FollowFollow servers with the amount of threads about him over the past 6 months. The pro-Barry camp argue that he is the best footballer in Scotland. The anti-Barry camp cannot see past his behaviour during the dying days of the PLG era. Both camps in my opinion have very valid viewpoints. There is no denying that Ferguson on his day is the best footballer in Scotland bar none: the problem is that his day tends to come when there is a big European game on. The old adage "there is no man bigger than the club" was seriously tested with the events of January, and it may be in the best interests of Rangers if all parties concerned were to be moved on. Ironically, his best form this season came with Le Guen at the helm - since Le Guen's departure he has been average at best. His fitness as he moves towards his 30s has to be in question, as he has never looked 100% fit since returning up the M74 in January 2005, and it looks more and more likely that he peaked as a player 5 years ago. Verdict: Twist 7. Brahim Hemdani A calm, composed and professional figure in an otherwise turbulent season, Hemdani's fine form both in midfield and at centre-half saw him voted the Fans' Player of the Year. A simple, yet effective player who rarely wastes a pass, a vital ingredient for any top level European player. Verdict: Stick 8. Kevin Thomson My prayers of the last 2 years were finally answered late in January, when Rangers signed the most promising central midfielder in the country. He is without doubt the long term successor to Barry Ferguson, both for Rangers and Scotland, and has impressed so far in his short Rangers career. A good engine, good dig, and great eye for a pass are all qualities any midfielder should possess, and Thomson has these in spades. He is a one touch player who rarely wastes possession, and with the right players round about him, is the perfect candidate for a deep lying playmaking role. Verdict: Stick 10. Nacho Novo The ultimate triumph of effort over ability. You know what you get with Novo in your team - heart, effort, pace and nothing less than 100%. As much as these qualities have endeared him to the support in his 3 years at Ibrox, unfortunately Nacho does not have the required ability level to succeed at Ibrox. Verdict: Twist 12. Ugo Ehiogu The strangest of Smith's January signings - a stopgap centre half when we'd already signed David Weir, given an 18 month deal when 6 would have done. Has yet to convince me he will be good enough to command a first team spot next season, and doubts linger over his fitness. Will always be a cult hero of mine for THAT goal at Parkhead. Verdict: Twist 14. Libor Sionko Showed promise in the opening fixtures of the season, however seems to have disappeared as the season progressed. Similar to Buffel in that he lacks stomach for the fight, and disappears when the going gets tough. Verdict: Twist 15. Kris Boyd It is truely a technological marvel that this board has survived given the umpteen threads on both Boyd and Ferguson. Lazy, unfit and with little evidence of any footballing ability besides being able to stick the ball in the onion bag, it is this last quality which will be Boyd's saving grace. Prolific goalscorers are hard to come by, particularly someone as prolific as Boyd who has scored almost 50 goals in his first 18 months at Rangers. His honeymoon period is definately over with the support, and Boyd will have to work on his all round game in order to truely win over the fans. A potential Rangers legend in the making - the goalscoring ability is there - the attitude most certainly remains in question. Verdict: Stick 17. Chris Burke On his day, simply unplayable. Burke hit a real purple patch of form after Christmas 2005 when his wing play regularly destroyed any opposition put in front of him. After a promising start to the season, Burke was soon to be re-acquainted with the treatment table, and has struggled to find form since. Inconsistency, combined with injury proneness, suggest that Burke may never fulfill his potential. Verdict: Twist 18. Ian Murray Can offer cover all over the backline and midfield, but despite being able to play in a multitude of positions, he is not of the required ability to make any single position his own. With added squad competition next year, Murray should struggle to feature around the first team at all. Verdict: Twist 19. Karl Svensson Struggled initially with the more physical Scottish game, however on the evidence of his form since his recall by Le Guen in November and alongside Weir in January before being inexplicably dropped for Ehiogu, he is a very capable defender - good on the ground, reads the game well, and has good distribution. Has age on his side to develop further - no player is the finished article at 23, and his arial ability has come on in leaps and bounds since first arriving in Scotland. Unfortunately, it seems a sizeable majority of the support have him pre-judged on the basis of a difficult start, but time alongside Weir in the Reserves next season may stand him in good stead for the future. Verdict: Stick 20. Alan Hutton The most improved player this year in Scotland, Hutton's performances of 2007 and 2006 are like comparing night and day. Tall, agile, athletic and with talent, he has emerged as one of Rangers' most crucial attacking threats in the last few months, and with his defensive game ever improving alongside David Weir, Hutton can now be considered to be in the position of being the first name on the teamsheet. International honours now beckon, and with continued improvement, Hutton could cement the right back slot with Rangers and Scotland for the next 10 years. Verdict: Stick 22. Alan McGregor A fine shot stopper, McGregor's all round game has improved sufficiently this season that he can now rightfully claim to be Rangers' number 1. Can still be dodgy from cross balls, but is improving all the time. Verdict: Stick 23. Filip Sebo The ultimate enigma. May well turn out to be Nacho Novo Mk II and at times makes Novo look like Ronaldo by comparison. However, he offers pace and power upfront, something no other striker at the club offers, and will always give his all. Has shown brief flashes of ability in a difficult first season in Scotland, and is not the hopeless case some have written him off to be. Having had a year to settle in and with more game time, next season could be the year of Sebo. Verdict: Stick 25. Charlie Adam The homegrown version of the free kick "genius" from across the city - yet Adam actually outscores Nakamura from set pieces, with one crucial difference. When Nakamura does it, it's "genius." When Adam does it, our commentators surpass themselves in making up ways in which the goalkeeper was at fault. A dead ball specialist with a fine passing range and vision (check the pass for Sionko's goal at Fir Park, or the ball for Ferguson to head home the 3rd at home to Hibs), Adam's main downside is not ability, which he has plenty of, but fitness. Adam's lack of fitness holds him back, of this there is no question, and must be adressed if he's going to fulfill his potential. Verdict: Stick 26. Steven Smith The biggest compliment I can pay Smith is that he reminds me of Arthur Numan; the second biggest compliment I can pay him is that the comparison never tires. If he can sort out his injury woes, the left back position is his for 10 years, and will surely benefit from the experience of Weir in the same way that Hutton has.

Gary Toner Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 <BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-title">quote:</div><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-content"> Rangers have positioned themselves at the head of a queue of clubs hoping to sign Robbie Fowler since it was confirmed last week that the striker would be leaving Liverpool. Fowler, who has just turned 32, is expected to have a number of suitors chasing him over the summer, with Bolton Wanderers and Sunderland among those hoping to tempt him to remain in the Barclays Premiership. But sources inside Ibrox confirmed yesterday that Walter Smith would like to add Fowler to his squad for next season. Smith is renowned for going about his transfer business discreetly, though it was believed last night that Rangers had already opened negotiations with Fowler’s representatives. With Dado Prso and Stefan Klos, two highly-paid players, both leaving Rangers, the Ibrox club, though not as cash-rich as those in England, could still offer Fowler a lucrative salary to come to Glasgow. If Rangers can also successfully negotiate a prequalifying tie in August, there would be the added incentive of Fowler having the opportunity to play in next season’s Champions League. Fowler, whose prolific first spell at Liverpool between 1993 and 2001 resulted in Liverpool fans referring to him as “Godâ€, has not figured prominently this season, though he has still managed seven goals in 16 outings. Injury problems have dogged the striker, prompting Rafael BenÃtez to ponder recently what “a fit and scoring Robbie Fowler†would be worth in the transfer market. It is believed Rangers are ready to offer the player a two-year deal. Fowler has insisted that, as yet, no concrete offers have been put to him. The striker hopes to make one more Liverpool appearance in next week’s Champions League final in Athens. </div></BLOCKQUOTE> Written by our friend at the times Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fowler wasa great player when he wasn't injured which was few and far between. I genuinely hope we don't sign him. Reports of Scott Brown signing for Celtic this morning. Interesting how the story changes half through the article with it being a done deal in the first paragraph then the author(s) giving themselves a get out clause hy saying there was a mystery. Fact is, if the fee bandied about is now around £5million I'm glad we're not paying it.

Jorg Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 I think it is going to be a very interesting summer in terms of transfer activity. I am happy with the signings so far, Broadfoot and Gow are good Scottish players with plenty of potential. I didn't want Darcheville but we got him for nothing and having read some interesting articles about him he could do a decent job. Scott Brown will be playing in the Premiership next season, no doubt in my mind. I wouldn't be completely against Fowler but I appreciate the arguments against his signing, I don't think we would be stupid enough to give him a huge salary with his history of injuries.
