Heard we are close to agreeing a deal for Paddy McNair on a pre-contract, NI and Middlesborough captain. Would imagine he will take Lundstrum's place as an upgrade.

Has paddy not been injured most of this season? Hasn't been in a lot of squads, not sure we shoukd be letting an ever present player go and brining in someoem who has missed half a season.

It says on transfer market his main position is CH 2nd position is DM is that correct? I haven’t seen much of him as I don’t watch much of his team?

Copland you’re correct he’s played 25 games out of a possible 44 due to injury. Storm Carrick has deployed him at CH due to lack of options but he has played majority of his career at CDM.

CoplandBear1, not as if we have previous in this regard is it?
Cheap and cheerful and the injury room will have space when Roofe Jack et al, move on.

If there is any doubt of missing big chunks of season - this lad should be given a miss no matter what level he has played at!

Would love to see the young boy from the sheep, Connor Barron come in. What an engine and looks a great prospect.

Doesn’t matter who we sign they will get injured it’s just the rangers way.

He's only had one bad injury about 5/ 6 years ago, think he'd play dcm for us, played that position for Sunderland before his move to Middlesbrough and played it very well, one of Northern Ireland top performers plays cb but i reckon he's better in the middle of the park he's got a good dig about him, another Rangers man.

We never learn with these lower league English signings massive wages and no where near good enough.

no brainer, instant upturn in quality for me.

History of Hamstring injury, will fit right in.

One hamstring injury missed 8 games about 8/ 9 years ago sima.

McNair according to transfermarket has missed no games due to injury this season

He was dropped twice for significant periods

The manager states he was playing players who wanted to play, McNair had refused to sign a new deal

He has had three so called serious injuries, one was significant ie ACL, that kept him out for 365 days, the other two out for under a month


This season he played four games as a rb, the rest as a right ch. he to date this season has not played in midfield

Imo a very good option.

I’d definitely take McNair, he is decent and has shown versatility. I think he’s out of contract too.

Not the most exciting signing, but would be an upgrade in midfield and could cover CB, brings experience and would play his heart out for the club most likely.


17.) 27 Apr 2024
27 Apr 2024 17:32:43
If he's willing to come on a half decent wage and expect to be a squad player, I would take him. If he wants a fat wedge and first team, then hell no.

He's not a big upgrade on lunny imo and for me not an inspiring signing if it happens.


19.) 27 Apr 2024
27 Apr 2024 18:52:16
He's a CB. That's where he's playing for Boro and NI. He may have played CDM in the past but if signed it'll be for CB first and foremost.


20.) 28 Apr 2024
28 Apr 2024 03:35:06
Agreed Bearsbear would definitely sign Barron. MyStar you’re spot on he’s played majority of his career at CDM and an upgrade on lunny IMO.

Is not time Raskin got his chance again, or will we throw him away as well, time to get a defence sorted properly. we already have or fullbacks, Sterling and Ridvan, both can attack and defend, clear out all the current Cb's there not good enough anymore, with a quality young defence, we only need one CDM, and that allows us to play more attacking the way Gerrard and Van Bronkhorst had us playing when we completely outplayed most teams in the spfl and in europa.

4.1.2.3 or 4.1.3.2 for example.

With Danilo back who is a quality CF rotating with Sima who is wasted as a winger, and dessers as 3rd choice.
Cortes and Matondo on the LW, we need 2 quality RW's (Mcausland isn't quite there yet) that can attack, cut in and score regularly.

Cantwell and Hagi as Cam's.

Diomande and Raskin as Cdm's

not like its as a big a rebuild as it looks.

Clear out all the rest of the players who are either injury prone or too old now, and let's get this club back on track.

Hagi and matondo not good enough 2 quality wingers definitely needed also a cdm to partner diomande and at least 1 quality striker and that's before we look at defence.
