3.5m for Faurlin (not proven in English football) and do not wish to fight for Beckford!

yep, we just don't seem to be going after the right players, when was the last time we actually signed a player wanted by other clubs & we won the race (barring Buzz of course) Rowland's maybe!

think it's about time the club changed it's policy on buying players

like someone said on here the other day

buy cheap, buy twice (in our case maybe 3 or 4)

buy quality buy once

simple really

It is strange how they bought Faurlin (an unknown) for £3.5m, yet somone known we won't touch them...

Very strange!

a) We never paid 3.5 mill - the deal may be worth 3.5 mill including wages over the period - bonueses, conditional payments etc etc

b) Who has been doing the buying.....

Why would any decent known player want to come to us.Unless we offered over the top wages.If you look at the way the club has been run and the storys over the last couple of years you wouldn't want to join Rangers.
We have wasted so much money over the last 2yrs on players who are just not good enough,foreigners and everybodys cast offs
Younger players like Connelly and Routledge have been good buys but if we were lucky enough to get promotion we would have to buy a complete new squad because the lot we have brought are not Premiership players.If we didn't we wouldn't last to long up there.
Why don't the club start investing in young talent and start building a squad of players in their late teens early twenties who could be ready for the Prem in a couple of years.Ok you might have to pay £1mil to £1.5 mil for some of these players but you would be building a base to start from at the moment I can't see any structure to build on.Teams like Reading,WBA ,Wolves have done this over the yrs and had some success.It would be better than what we are doing at the moment IMO.
