    Lundstrum would be a horrific signing. If thats the type of signings we target this summer something has gone wrong. The bloke gets outran, outworked, outpaced, outstrenged and just outright beaten by players who couldn't cut it in league 1 in England. His positional sense is one of the worst i've ever seen for a supposed defensive midfielder and Rangers are a better team when he is replaced by RIGHT BACK Dujon Sterling in midfield. Terrible football player.

    I think I understand this phenomenon.

    It's a bit like Corry Evans with us, when you're in League One and the demand is to trounce whatever is put in front of you each saturday, a DM who keeps it neat and tidy is seen as an expendable we can replace with an attacking player, and Rangers are expected to trounce their opponent most weeks.

    In the Championship we really saw the utility of having a player like Corry Evans because we were second best sometimes and needed to lean on him a bit.

    Lundstram provides that function for Rangers, unfortunately he is only really utilised in the latter mode when playing in Europe.

    I would take Lundstram here and I'm quite sure he would improve us.

    Agreed mate, was ok at sheff utd but that was when he coukd just run around and tackle. I dont rate him as a cdm at all, he also doesnt have the legs at all - he struggles so much in games where he is pressed quickly and plays against players with energy. He would struggle in the championship - he doesnt stand out in the spl and its a league where the standard is shocking at the minute

    There's better out there for sure

    Understatement. Offers nothing.

    Alan Browne for me. I think he may have one or two PL suitors but if we were to move for a midfielder he'd be my pick.

    Joe Williams I like also.

    The free agent market looks better this year than it has for a while.

    Well, I have long thought he would get goals in our team. Some say his attitude isnt great though. I was saying to my cousin recently I think we would have looked a different prospect this year, even with a league 1 proven striker like Clarke Harris or Burton.

    Might be past his best after having a very ordinary season in League One.

    I was only half joking, I think he would have been affective last year/this year but would like to think we’re looking higher

    Could see us being interested in Cullen, if he's any good?

    Been a slow day today so I’ve been a football nerd and looked at centre mids that could be options for next year, one that’s stood out from league one is Ethan Erhahon from Lincoln, only 22 and bosses the midfield, they’ve been flying of late too, scout and felltop will be better qualified than me if they have seen much of him?

    Left footer. Touch looks excellent.

    Aren't both Dan Neil and Ekwah lefties? This might be one of those odd times when we'd prefer a right footer for balance.

    Some good players in league one atm, that dembele that broke through at Celtic has been on loan at Blackpool and putting in good numbers from the wing 21 goals and assists, 21, not that we need another winger like
