I feel like El Ghazi could thrive under Gerrard, as he seems to play much better in the channel and around the box. More of an inside forward.

Something in that. He perhaps isn’t quick enough to play as a true wide player but i can see him getting more chances than Dean gave him
Yeah, have to say that I have a gut feeling that AEG will be quite an important player, maybe not as a first choice starter but as an option off the bench. Think the Gerrard-style 4-3-3 will really suit him.

I always thought Emre Can was a good player.

Yup, but slower than glacial melt these days

Is he really?  Shame, as he seems to have the right attributes that we are looking for.  Apart from pace of course!

Can was too slow when he was at Liverpool as well, don't think he's suited to the Premier league, but I do rate him.

Kamara at Marseille, Thuram or Lemina at Nice if we were feeling brave enough to raid Ligue 1 again.

Wasn't Lemina basically a do-nothing passenger at both Southampton and Fulham?

I randomly saw a River Plate game a couple of months ago and he was absolutely brilliant, but unfortunately it seems he’s been so good since the summer he will be looking at champions league level options now. Only hope would be if we’ve already agreed the deal somehow.

Barisic being linked today. I think that's nearly the entire Rangers side we're after. Also probably best  if Purslow doesn't piss off Barisic during contract negotiations  :o

"In summer 2017, Barišić drew attention from Ukrainian club Dynamo Kyiv, and he agreed personal terms with the club. However, at the last minute, Dynamo opted for Dinamo Zagreb's Josip Pivarić. In an interview with Sportske novosti on 11 August, Barišić publicly called out Dinamo for sabotaging the transfer.[8][9] On 22 August, Dinamo Zagreb executive Zdravko Mamić was shot in his native village of Zidine, Bosnia and Herzegovina.[10] The shooting was believed to be an assassination attempt organized by the Čepin Mafia clan, of which Barišić's father Stipe is a member."

The upgrade on the Nakamba needs to be elite if it happens
He is a good player and it’s no point in bringing someone else in thats slightly different but the same level in technical terms

It’s alright looking at players from Rangers they might well be good
But if you put Nakamba into that Rangers team he would be a standout player, One who we might all be saying let’s go get him he looks the real deal

Bissouma  would cost massive money but that’s the level we need to be going to for any replacement or upgrade

"Mr Gerrard, I vant to play for you at glorious English Club Astonmotiv Villa"

"Sound Bornie, I'm made up, but I've got Mattie T at the moment la"

"Of course, but what if he was to suddenly unexpectedly leave the country without telling anyone, or he got injured. Permanently." *click*

I guess its that we are in an even weaker position than we were in the summer when trying to get in 'next level' players, then we could try and sell them the vision of European football, now the reality is a bit bleaker.

The scouting team should really be earning their money here, nearly everyone in Europe plays with a defensive midfielder and we havent managed to find one better than Nakamba?

Yep, that's my view.

I posted the other day that Skhiri at Koln would be my choice right now, I'd hope our scouts are aware of him at the least because he ticks every box for what we need in midfield.
