Fabio Silva is still waiting for his first goal at Rangers. He was subbed at 73 minutes in the 3-0 win last night. BBC report said that he will take time to get up to full sharpness.

Sorry but he should be a superstar at that level. I read that he had some decent touches, but missed a glaring opportunity. I do hope this works out for him and ultimately us, but I have my doubts.

If he can't hack it up there then may be best to cut our losses and get a mutual agreement to end his contract.

£35million, plus £4million a year in wages.Shi's "love child", has had a major impact on our FFP situation.
Hang your head in shame for this ridiculous signing (and a few more!)

Rugeley with hindsight - always easy I acknowledge - paying several million to swap Jota, (now one of the best forwards in the country), for Hoever and Silva, (neither of whom were or ever will be Premier League quality), is mind blowingly terrible and has cost us a lot more than a few million pounds!
The even sadder part of course is that you didn't need hindsight to see this!
Although Jota has improved his consistency and his appettite, which seemingly had fallen away in his last few months at Wolves, was clearly a v high quality player.
Fabio, who we have discussed till the cows come home, however was obviously still a child who should have been in a youth program cleaning the boots of the senior pros not being paid more than them.
I do accept that Hoever was a prospect who sadly didn't develop. However we again hugely overpaid for him as the risk that he wouldn't develop was real and bit us!
As you say to repeat the insanity of this deal 12 months later with Guedes is v hard to swallow!
Not only would we not have any FFP problems (the 3 of them cost us over £25m a year in amort and wages or £75m + in a 3 year cycle) but we would have won an awful lot more games!
Tks Jeff!

Maybe Diogo wanted to leave and he was basically on the bench because of Pedro.
So if a player wants to go, you pretty much should sell him or you will have players who don't want to be there in the dressing room.

Handsome no doubt you are correct. At the time I thought the sale was ok.
He was a top quality player but his commitment levels had fallen for various reasons and he was inconsistent.
The price we sold him for was therefore fair.
However over paying by over £40m on Hoever and Silva AND paying them massively out of kilter with their real staus was not ok!
These 2 transfers (plus the Guedes one) are a key factor in our decline (on the pitch and off), post Seville
