Rangers on average have to play probably around 10-15 games more per season than a Championship team and often against complete knuckle draggers.

This would have been me on the flight to that pointless friendly vs Darmstadt in August

A fully fit and injury free Matondo, absolutely. As already said, rapid, capable of the spectacular. But where is he playing? He's not ahead of Mason-Clarke and Haji Wright, unless Lampard sees Haji playing down the middle.

Im pretty sure he can play in the pocket just behind the striker as an almost False 9/Shadow striker style player

Tavares isn't good enough and Raphael is a long term project, so not really.

Or just nowhere near to meeting the fitness standards. Was he ever injured?

Surely if we bring in another wide player, especially one of this calibre, then Raphael has next to no chance of ever playing.

Some people are never happy.

No incoming signings=we're shit and not a pot to piss in. Sounds like a players coming in = he's shit/too old/injury prone.

I like the sound of this deal. Was in the 1st team until injury. A disruptive but very good player has made up with the club and has taken his place. Scores goals and gets assists. Looks like he runs at defences. A good age for a footballer. And if he does well we can keep him for about half the price of a decent League 1 player. If he isn't as good as we hope we just send him back.

He’s only young, hopefully develops. Could always replace Sakamoto, in a years time when he’s contract runs out

I'm not saying thats what I've been told

I've been told he has something about him

It's just my personal view. We're injury ravaged, he's been here 8 months and has got on the pitch for 2 minutes once

“Physically demanding” in this context is a euphemism for taking a kicking.

The thing is, has he already had his month off with injury, or is it going to happen as soon as we sign him??
