Don’t think it’s that mental tbh

Hoilett is a classy player but he’s 35 now and won’t be starting every week , more chance McGrath will who is also creative. I don’t think Gray will reward Smith for having an excellent season by dropping him either .

Pleased Hoilett has signed. Got to the point where I thought it probably wasn’t going to happen.

Could make a big difference in the European games. So comfortable and good at keeping the ball, something we’ll need to do.

Looked so sharp towards the end of the season. Thought he ran the show in our win at Ibrox. I think he offers something different for us really pleased he has signed on.

Is it? We played great football at the end of the season with Hoilett in the team, he's also played for a long time at a higher level than McGrath ever has.

It’s not mental. Hoilett was the better player when they were both at Aberdeen together and he was the better player last season too.

I think so too. Also good we have had so much continuity. Wilĺ hopefully stand us in good stead for another season.

I assume Hoilett is not in the Netherlands with the squad.

Looks like he is from his YouTube unveiling

So Rangers have signed another Bournemouth player, Joe Rothwell, 30 year old striker who was loaned out to Leeds last season. Might of been handy to have somebody like that in our squad, just my opinion.

I doubt he'd have been interested in playing for us and us in covering the level of wages that would be required.
Obviously hoping we get good player trading from Bournemouth and the wider group but still going to be limited to a certain level of player or player at specific point of development. For anyone mentioning why Bournemouth would loan to Rangers or anyone else in the league, got to remember the players themselves will have the biggest call in what option they take up

[500miles]

Rangers have now had as many players from Bournemouth this summer than we have since the BKG deal happened.

Bevan doesn’t count before anyone tries it!

He's a midfielder, and he'd never have come to Hibs so it's irrelevant if he'd have been handy for us.

His wages wouldn’t be any less than about £20k per week, that’s being conservative, realistically probably much more than that. Same applies to Max Aarons.

Are people expecting Bournemouth to just pay those wages for us? If so, they weren’t listening to everything they’ve been saying as that was never the deal.

If the argument is they shouldn’t be strengthening our rivals, Id be more annoyed if they were sending players to Aberdeen, hearts Dundee Utd etc…. Realistically they’re who we are competing with, not Rangers.

Fair dues, the article I read said he was a striker, but he is indeed a midfielder after all.

he was pretty good for Leeds last season but i'm not sure he would have been good enough for the PL, interesting how it turns out for him

Strengthening Rangers may benefit Hibs if it leads to them taking more points off Hearts/Aberdeen/etc if we are looking to retain 3rd place

Was the BKG deal all about "getting players from Bournemouth"?

It’s was about mutual benefit between the clubs, with scope for movement within the group.

We finished third last year and if we want to progress to breaking in to the top 2 - which is very, very difficult but not impossible - Bournemouth’s own player trading is stifling our chances by strengthening the opposition.

No but everyone seems to pretend it was.

I find the constant obsession with the idea that we can go a step further and split the old firm close to some yam level of confidence.

We can dream can't we ?

[Since452]

We aren't splitting the old firm. Aberdeen were about 10/15 points ahead of Rangers at one point and wetting themselves silly. Ended up 5th. It's just not going to happen over a season. We might get within 10 points one day but even that would be a staggering achievement.

[Unseen work]

It’s a tricky one with Bournemouth, and it is..not frustrating but almost a bit like what is going on here, yous have a % in un but helping other teams.

But

We can’t say don’t sell/loan to any other club in Scotland and that we want all their players.

For one, guys like Aarons and Rothwell would never come here. Marcondes must have just suited everyone with him just returning from injury

Secondly, we won’t want some players they’re trying to give us. The keeper for example seems like one they were keen to give us, where as we wanted a more experienced keeper in Salinger.

There’s probably numerous other players they’ve offered us that we weren’t interested in, remember we said no to the lad from Lorient and instead signed Triantis.

We’ve also allegedly tried to get a couple of young players on loan from different English clubs

We can’t say don’t sell/loan to other Scottish clubs but we’re still going to recruit from other English clubs. They’d be the same thinking why are you getting an inexperienced 19 year old cm for example when we’ve got a good one here

Anyway, I’m sure they’ll rectify it and give us Ryan Christie

Be interested what happens when SDG and the team go down and have a look around

Once we manage to finish 3rd two seasons in a row then we can think of splitting the old firm 🤣

We can dream but I also won't be getting myself pissed off about it not happening either. There's a difference in hard expectation and wishful hope.

Agree entirely.

If Bournemouth offer us a Bevan type and Palace offered us an equivalent and we went with the Palace option and Bournemouth got angry with us for it in the same way some are here, we'd rightly tell them to beat it and that we do everything with Hibs in mind first and foremost.

Exactly.

If we can’t get Triantis back, I’m hoping we might get Ben Winterburn from Bournemouth on loan.

Their young player of the year last season, was on the bench sometimes and started to get a few minutes on the park here and there. Clearly someone highly thought of but probably someone that needs to be playing every week.

IMO loans for that type of player make sense for all parties, not the established first team players on massive salaries.
