    I am strating to feel as if we are getting left behind in the transfer market I see that rang#rs have signed a few and look to be getting a few more.
    They beat us on a small and stretched squad last term and as much as I am optimisitic about new players coming in I dont feel that we are no way near getting in what we need have the board tightened up too much ? are we starting to get left behind ?
    I really do think we are in for a shock

    In fact I am starting to get a little angry about it now

    Cheer up man,whats with all the doom and gloom?You not happy with our current squad?We were never going to spend big anyway with there no being CL money for 3 years.The way ive looked at it is we only needed a couple of signings to bolster an all ready great but over inflated squad.Im more worried about the lack of players being off loaded right now.

    39 days to go in the transfer window...

    And people are panicking because of the Huns signing two players. You do realise we have signed 3?

    You don't need an overhaul every season and there squad just now is even smaller than it was last season.

    Who cares about them anyway? Do our own thing.

    tbh after last season we only needed to bring a few in , a keeper(which lennon will get) maybe cover for kayal(wanyama) a centre half(wilson) now all we really need imo is a target man and i will be happy:50:

    What I mean is I am happy enough with our players but the fact is it was not good enough to beat a stretched huns squad that has been added too yeh we have signed 3 players but I dont really see them as a massive boost

    We have a settled team this season not building from scratch, we've brought in a few players and have a couple on trial, Rangers have lost as many players as they've brought in.

    Not worried.

    R*angers had a very thin squad last season we didnt so we dont really need to chop and change that much just adding a couple of experienced additions really especially a GK

    So basically what you are saying is because you right off 3 players before they kick a ball that we aren't moving forward and not signing players?

    With 39 days to go in the transfer window to go...

    I dont think there are the kind of class we need because they are fairly know players so we know what they are like and i dont see them as being a massive boost thats all

    We are adding quality they are adding quantity. They have added Wallace, who wont even be in the starting line up coz Papac is better- A guy they prob wont see until January and Ortiz who is *.

    We have brought in two great prospects in Matthews and Wanyama, and K.Wilson who is what we needed, but I have yet to judge him really. Then we will probably have Pletikosa by next week which is a great signing IMO and then Mphela or Musona who are both cracking strikers.....

    ....You need to chill...

    i kind of agree with you mate,not on all it but i feel we need to freshen up on the attacking front.wish we would splash a bit of dosh on a big ball winning,defender bullying * who can hold up the ball and bang in the headers.

    not really a big name, just a big guy. hooper and stokes are good but we need something extra that sammy can provide,but not enough.and murphy can't and never will.

    and hopefully we sign the croat goalie and maybe even the young polish boy, so long as he never got huckled last night

    edit- we haven't really strengthened our starting line up,well apart from big kelvin.lost our number 1 keeper,matthews will probably play back up to wilson and wanyama back up to kayal

    No we don't.

    We need to win the League,a good run in Europe would be a bonus.

    This. We have a massive squad still and need to be offloading players, and imo bringing in 2 more, GK and target man.
