ozvilla28 Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 How can you say we won't make many signings finishing 14th , either the squad is not good enough or the manager is not getting the best out of them simple as that.Our owners have backed our management it's time they delivered. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cant think of any reasons he would choose us over them his ex teammate is in goal at Milan also plus Champions League . Even the Gerrard factor doesnt come into since Paolo Maldini has been personally chasing Botman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 Bremer was looked at by Chelsea last summer. Their number one target this summer appears to be Jules Kounde however. Tarkowski hit a great ball down the line first half for McNeil. He's certainly underrated but him and Mings would feel a bit similar so not sure it's the right time to sign him, could understand more in summer 2019 when we needed more prem experience.

VillaChris Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 Was just thinking with CBs....didn't Newcastle go in strong for Diego Carlos in January? IIRC he seriously considered it and Sevilla model is to cash in on players after 2-3 good seasons but understandbly he didn't want to leave with them still in europa and seriously going for La Liga. If Newcastle are moving onto other targets, would he not fit the bill? Experienced CB who wants to get more game time for Brazil or perhaps wants a different challenge now. Unless he just used Newcastle interest to get a longer contract at Sevilla. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame he doesn't have a presence when he walks in the room. No, but he has a huge chequebook.....which has "presence not required" stamped on it. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've not seen the guy play but I would have thought we stand a strong chance of getting him if we want him what with all our Rangers connections and being a good sized club to make a move to in the PL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In that case he could either make a point of not coming when Gerrard calls, or definitely make a point of coming to show him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbh I'm not really sure, just making a snap judgement based on appearance numbers. I have very little interest in Rangers outside of being intrigued by the (imo) unusual club culture.

Same here really, but I found this: ”Bassey found game time hard to come by working under Steven Gerrard, but since his departure the Nigerian has played every game under the leadership of van Bronckhorst.” https://www.heraldscotland.com/sport/19761943.rangers-ace-calvin-bassey-hails-amazing-giovanni-van-bronckhorst-details-new-level-intensity/ 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

During COVID he found it difficult, I think a move closer to home would be ideal for him. Rangers want a lot of money though as they really rate him. From what I've seen he shows promise, a little rough around the edges. Bassey surely wouldn't expect to walk into any PL team right now...? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a question rather than a statement.

Gerrard I would imagine is a well connected guy - so anyone he is worked with before or otherwise it connected. But I don't think Stevie G would be brazen enough to recruit a load of his old mates - or Liverpool cast offs. We are attractive as a club though - they picked us out on MOTD as a club most likely to improve next season. Personally I think it's more down to the financial clout we have than our celebrity manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
