@Scout73 do you rate Ugbo? He hasn’t gone to sheff wed as they can’t agree a fee. Just trying to think of other options to mendy. Can only think of him, cannon, stansfield, al-hamadi etc

Don't bother your not our recruitment manager haha, hadn't heard of mendy, rusyn, mundle etc before we were linked and signed them

Second guessing oh we might go for him ends up with pointless rumours and the inevitable line of another one we've missed out on when we were never in for them
 
Rangers have had a bid of 7m rejected for Morgan Whittaker. He’s a right winger / attacking midfielder and scored 20 goals last season. If we could get him in a deal worth up to 10m that would be good business. He’s the same age as Clarke as well.
Same age but five more goals and four more assists than Clarke. He’s surely in the same bracket value wise, chance to get him was last summer.
 
I think we're more sensible than Coventry in terms of having a strict strategy, not sure how much Cov paid for Hajj and Simms but not sure they would make any profit on them if they were sold tomorrow and that is our stategy.
11m for Wright and about 4m plus add ons for Simms. I think they would make a profit but not a massive one, probably around 10m over both players if they sold now.

Last season I thought Duncan McGuire , USA striker who nearly joined Blackburn might be a decent punt. Don’t know how he did after that fell through though.

They are looking at 10-15m for him according to reports. Ideal replacement if we got 25m for Clarke. Not the same position but fills the needed goals and assists we’d miss.

What? It’s a genuine question I have?

No wonder it was rejected <laugh> He’s worth at least double that.

Jobe is technically really good, you can see it from the way he receives the ball at times and also the way he strikes the ball

Where he needs to improve is knowing when to play fast and when he can take extra touches - this is very common for young CMs, they often get plenty of time in youth football but in the championship you just dont get.

Positionally he is poor out of possession, he gets caught ahead of the ball too often, doesnt track runners and is slow to spot the danger areas defensively. Again these are common for young CMs, Neil used to really struggle in these areas but i feel hes really good at this now but hes only like that because hes been given time n therefore experience to learn it

I personally wouldnt start Jobe, i like the thought of a CM 3 of Browne, Rigg n Neil however, id not be disappointed if Jobe starts. We just have to manage his minutes better this season
For me when I watch Jobe I think it is his speed of thought, or if you like speed of decision making which is where there can be major improvements. That said this did improve as the season went on and will only improve with game time. as from who starts in midfield I think we will see changes depending on who we are playing and the style of the opposition, and who we have available. We also need to remember Rigg in football terms is still a very young player and so is Jobe so whilst we want to see them we need to understand they are still developing and learning with every game they play.
I think we could be in for a very interesting season as some of our players mature and some get used to being in and around the squad and start to become more acclimatised and comfortable with their surroundings and team mates.
 
I'm very optimistic about Jobe this year. I don't feel like anyone received much proper coaching in line with a playing style and I figure that would hold anyone back.

And he was still a bit of a beacon of hope amongst a wilderness of poor performance.

Can't say Poveda makes the most sense to me given our stocks on the wings. Assume someone knows something we don't.

I doubt that bid is true. Rangers are absolutely skint and any money spent has to be raised through sales

If that’s the case then it’ll be another title for Celtic as that Rangers squad is nowhere near.

Rangers fans at my work are really worried about this season, say they are struggling to sell players as so many of them are on silly wages

Sounds like they are back after shankland who would be the ideal CF for them.

I always thought ugbo had the upside but hes just never put it all together. Did pretty well for sheff wed but im still not convinced by him

Cannon is the best player out of the ones you mentioned imo, just worried about his injuries last season
