Matthew Le God Posted August 28 Posted August 28 (edited) 7 minutes ago, Badger said: It wouldn’t have been a great surprise if Downes had joined Lego at Ibrox. But I suspect this might have been dependent on Rangers getting into the Champions League to fund it. Without that and uncertainty over Martin’s position it now seems unlikely I'd have been surprised even if they had made the Champions League. Rangers, even with the Champions League couldn't buy a player who cost £18m a year ago and the wages that would go with that. Their record signing is... Tore André Flo for £12m... 25 years ago! They haven't come close to those numbers since then. Edited August 28 by Matthew Le God

I love wingers and #10s but this is a type of player we’ve been lacking for quite a while. Our midfield has been unbalanced over the last couple of years. 1
Saint NL Posted August 29 Posted August 29 The Crouch bit and the Puncheon in the toilet were very good on the unveiling video. Good video, good signing. 4

gio1saints Posted August 29 Posted August 29 Three word description: New. Steve. Williams. V happy with this one indeed. 🙌
Football Special Posted August 29 Posted August 29 Is he going to be away on international duty for next couple of weeks?

And in today’s football with 5 subs and tactical subs even if he’s in bench to start with he will get on most every match. And then show why he’s a starter. I reckon will take him one crunching tackle, one ridiculous chase back and regain the ball, maybe one Hollywood pass and cream On the cake one winning goal to show why. Maybe a yellow v Pompey for taking off his shirt while celebrating his debut goal to seal it. 😁. Our bench is looking ridiculously strong if the newbies are all starters.. 1

All 11 comments from fans of the club where he was on loan are glowing. The most comprehensive is: "A really good footballer, two-footed, agile, nimble, great vision, also aggressive in duels, always available to pass to, ball distributor, like a Schweinsteiger in his best days, only better." 9
Convict Colony Posted August 29 Posted August 29 1 thing i really liked is that when he had to describe himself he gave as much weighting to his work against the ball not just with that, dont hear that very often from a player so very refreshing. 1
Midfield_General Posted August 29 Posted August 29 Casper? That must mean Steve McClaren’s on his way…. (I fully expect no-one to understand this and then I’m going to look silly) 1

Fully expect him and Aziz on the bench though, honestly out of the "3" i seem to be more happy with Jander, he just gives me a proper elite player feeling or maybe its just cos he's german 😃 3

saintant Posted August 29 Posted August 29 Very pleased with this signing as this guy looks a baller and talks the talk. Have to give due praise to Spors and the recruitment team for what they're doing - Mads, Jander and Azaz are three really strong additions and hopefully Fellows will be next and maybe Scienza as well. Our side has the potential now to play some fast exciting football once everyone settles in and Will Still decides his best eleven and formation. Not even bothered about losing Dibling and Fernandes due to the standard of the players we're bringing in. 2
S-Clarke Posted August 29 Posted August 29 (edited) He's a little more unknown than the Azaz/Fellows/Mads signings, but he's still a no brainer upgrade on what we had depth wise in that area. We needed that extra CM and a little more security in the Downes/Charles roles, and he'll give us that. Nuremburg fans love him, which is always a good sign. Edited August 29 by S-Clarke 2
Chez Posted August 29 Posted August 29 2 hours ago, sfc4prem said: I'm more excited eith this one than Fellows or Azaz, to be honest! Likewise. I see in his videos a player that is extremely comfortable with the ball at his feet like a Jack Clark or younger day Lallana. Very different to our one touch midfielders like Downes and Smallbone. Really hope he can hit the ground running and be our Hamer/Ndiaye/Lallana type playmaker that makes a difference.

SNSUN Posted August 29 Posted August 29 Welcome Casper. 3 CMs should be enough, I'd be greedy that I'd like a 4th but if it means we keep Matsuki that's fine.
