I think this is a goer Rangers have known he wanted a move , didn’t want him to go but at the same time were prepared to let him go to help their finances. Ross Wilson might help it along too.

Yeah, certainly wouldn’t hurt 1 year left on contract with rumoured £10m release fee. Could see Rangers needing that rather than losing him for zero.

He didn't owe us anything really, and we got a lot of money for him. I don't get the bitterness towards ings tbh. Our business model is going to be selling our best players for a profit... 😅. As for kalvin, he loves Leeds but he has still left for a large cheque and to sit on the bench hasn't he 🤣 🤷♂️.

Because people can't accept that players don't have the same attachment to clubs as they do. Ings wasn't shown any loyalty when he was a boy, why should he show us any? I don't really like Villa but I never really wished him any personal ill will. He had a job, got offered a better, higher paid job and took it. Like most of us. The career of a footballer is a very short one and yes he's made enough money to live off for the rest of his life but if he can get enough to set his kids up and then set his grandchildren all up to live comfortably for all their lives, why not do that? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FarehamSaintJames Posted 4 July, 2022 Share Posted 4 July, 2022 (edited) I wonder if we’ll change formation at all, maybe a holding mid allowing JWP and another CM to advance further forward. Or an attacking mid that is yet to arrive. I still think we’re due five or six players this summer. Sports Republic weren’t pissing about when they wanted an overhaul!

Forster was our best keeper the past 2 seasons, Bednarek for all his faults does have 130 Prem Games and 42 international caps under his belt and got 4 goals last season and while you'd hope Lavia would be taking the place of a Smallbone or Diallo, the fact that Romeu hasn't been signed up to a new contract yet does concern me...These are all good signings to supplement the current team but if they are straight up replacements for some of our more experienced players and being thrown in at the deep end straight away then i'd be concerned. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess they'll shift out Ronaldo too as he wants to go and wouldn't fit (and I think was cause of a lot of their problems as well as provider of goals) Think Spurs will do well until Conte decides to up and leave 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No-one with the name "Tyler Dibling" is going to make it as a top professional footballer. Sounds like the class dweeb in a 1980s teen drama. Ridiculous. It's like having a modern footballer called Lionel. Your are a prick and a bully, picking on a kid for his name, how childish, you seem like a bitter, out of touch, old bastard.
