I said at the time I could not get my head round why we were looking to sell Jozo. Fast forward a couple of months and it looks like keeping him is going to pan out as one of our best pieces of business this summer. He looks so commanding and strolls through games with composure on the ball as well. If he can stay fit we could be looking at a bumper!

He did look like a player. Hope he can keep fit and that Sevco keep Clint Hill! Who would you have in your back 4? Looking at our squad, we are miles ahead of them. Souness is asking the board to invest in Rangers so they can compete. But it's just another punt. If you give Warbo £10 mill and they still don't win the league and qualify for CL, then what happens? How do they finance the next challenge? Do you give him another £10 mill and so on? It's not just about one transfer kitty it's about squad depth, recruitment, scouting players over many months maybe years. sports science, medical care, stadiums etc etc. Compared to Celtic, Rangers have nothing in place They are miles behind.

I couldn't believe we were going to sell him too. It's was clear that he has good talent in him that can become special with playing time. Hope we hold onto him.
What I like most is his passing, it's always a strong hard pass in the right direction to keep the players movement going forward and opens up space as the opponent player has to run fast to close down the pass thus opening more space.

I'm assuming a combination of his injury record and Rodgers wanting his own man in, were the deciding factors in us trying to sell.

A big factor in keeping big Jozo is if he wants to stay. was it not the player himself that was trying to get the move to Torino done.
I hope he has settled now he is free of injury but if a player want out there isn't much we can do.

Rodgers always spoke very highly of him and how he was excited about getting him fit then all of a sudden he was off. It was a strange one. Maybe they thought it would be wise to recoup the money in case he ended up another Derk.

I hope they do spend big. Love it if they borrowed 10 million to finish second at best. MW does not want to spend money as he knows there is none. If he was given any borrowed money like 10 million they would need to win the league and qualify for champions league. They will be fighting for top six. can't wait to pump them at crumbledebt dome on hogmany. Our bhoys will be desperate to make up for thst 1-0 humping yesterday. with a few more goals.
