Wonder if VI has any say in this deal. Maybe he is a player he likes/ fits into his plans?

Looking at clips, he seems able to come off the right to good effect., Allowing the full back to overlap,

Pretty sure he's a number 10 isn't he? So backup for Cantwell.

He's played central midfield mostly for his club, but seems very attacking. Seems like he can be back up for both Cantwell and Trav.

Nope, apparently got a knee injury as soon as he joined them though which ended his season

I assume this new guy plays in 1 of the 3 attacking positions, rather than 1 of the 2 centre mid slots. (Just guessing, I dunno for sure)

In fairness he was absolutely prolific at youth level, not sure what's gone on since, injuries, possibly home sick as well, either way it's been a waste of time for all parties. Does anyone know if he even played when he went on loan to Lierse? Can't see any records 🤔

No it isn’t. They’ve had a social media team with their players for years. All good fun, but no different than previous seasons… or anywhere else.

Once they have shipped out Travis & Buckley, We have Tronstad, Henriksson, Tavares, Montgomery (and Forshaw to come off the bench to shore up games) Imagine Forshaw is also seen as "insurance" if they receive an offer they cannot refuse for Tronstad (which considering those in charge, will probably be anything over a million)

comparison: Axel Henriksson vs the average midfielder of Allsvenskan.

The £10m thing came from a Everton scout who I met at a game. There were a number of others in the players lounge / directors box and most were there to watch Buckley. I hadn’t seen that much of him at the time and so asked what all the hype was…it was common knowledge that Rovers price was £10m and at the time, the guy and a Liverpool scout were relaxed with the fee…. I’m pretty sure Mowbray did come out, completely independently around that time whilst discussing Buckleys rise, that he was “a £10m player…” At that time (pre Wharton), Buckley was very much seen as the jewel in the academy crown. At his best, he’s neat and tidy, can play on the half turn and sees a pass. He just never kicked on and in the last few years seems to be regressing further and further back. Shame.

Did I ever it was but the club is being more open football side of the club

Guess it was good business for someone in the background?

Just a strange peice of business all round Mafoumbi.

Can't be on that much. Be better to just write hirm off and pay him up.

It probably wouldn't even cost too much to come to terms on paying his contract up so he can move back to France

I think you are getting Mowbray and Mani mixed up.

They should be doing everything they can to move on Mafoumbi. Complete waste of a ESC place.

That's a real shame! Was hoping we would bring in a foreign winger...Looks like it'll be a prem loan there then.

Darren Fletcher who played for Man Utd had it too. He would do yes.

This was from Friday.

In the same way that it "kind of worked" at Southampton because they went up through the play offs (completely ignoring that with their budget, that was the bare minimum that they should expect), and that lead to multiple pundits claiming that he is the second coming of Pep, it will probably "kind of work" at Rangers and they will qualify for the Champions League (in 2nd place), again because of a giant budget compared to most of their rivals and he will by the end of the season be lauded as a genius by the idiots in the press

Henriksson's agency also have Mario Balotelli on their books, might as well ask if he fancies another year in England too as he's in need of a club 😎 They do actually also have Seydou Fini on their books perhaps more realistically, fits our requirements perfectly. Currently at Genoa but been loaned out the past 2 seasons. A bit similar to Kargbo just on the right. Only 19, nippy, skillful, high resale potential, boxes being ticked right.... But Just noticed he's already been linked with a few other clubs so chances are slim 🥲

Just a shame our set pieces are dog shit or we'd have some good targets to aim for with all the height

No, amateurs would make sure there was some good preparation for the game. This is the usual contempt and distain that has been shown towards the club for the last 15 years.
