Although he performed admirably for 45 minutes against Sparta Prague, Todd Cantwell is obviously not the Rangers’ right wing solution; perhaps former player Jacob Murphy is.
Steven Gerrard decided that Daniel Candeias wasn’t the right player for the Light Blues, therefore he made multiple attempts after coming to Ibrox to address one of the team’s main issues.
Even if it meant Todd Cantwell was playing out of position, Philippe Clement tried to start as many of his finest attacking players against Aberdeen. However, could a report by Pete O’Rourke lead to a potential reevaluation of Jacob Murphy?
Fashion Sakala was allowed to leave because Michael Beale either thought he had better or that he would no longer fit the shape and system he was implementing. This was just as he was beginning to take ownership of the position and contribute a consistent number of goals and assists to his weekly inconsistent performances.
Selling our top scorer and wide forward was perhaps not the best decision the former Gators manager made, looking back.
As a result, Ross McCausland, who began the season far lower on the team’s priority list and is almost certain to depart due to a lack of first team playing time, is now almost first choice, giving Philippe Clement a specific weakness on the right side of the field.
Former Sky Sports reporter O’Rourke, writing for Football Insider, asserted that Crystal Palace, Nottingham Forest, and Newcastle United’s Jacob Murphy are currently under consideration.
This is almost two years to the week that the 28-year-old was rumored to be joining Rangers when Jacob Murphy was out of favor and there was a desperate need for a right winger.
However, after rumors of a pre-contract deal surfaced, it was revealed that Murphy had an additional year’s option, which the team could exercise.
After a manager changed, Eddie Howe assumed leadership, Murphy received more playing time, and the rest is history.
With two other Premier League clubs keen, Newcastle would demand a hefty amount today despite the lack of potential sell-on profit. Don’t be surprised if they don’t get the £12 million they spent for him.
Although he would cost a Premier League fee and receive Premier League salaries, a Premier League player would be an upgrade.
Someone who can perform the work and who we can pay has to be on the list!
