Philippe Clement is not one to give much away, however, the Rangers manager is clear that he needs to make more additions in this transfer window.
The injury list seems to be getting worse, rather than better, with Abdallah Sima joining Kemar Roofe and Danilo as being a player who can score a lot of goals who is unavailable to the Gers boss.
What Philippe Clement needs is goals and, with Fabio Silva only through the door at the moment, it’s no wonder that he feels Rangers need more to achieve what he wants to.
Philippe Clement irked by Rangers transfer question
Speaking as part of the pre-match press conference for the re-arranged game with Hibs, when asked if he would be content and confident if he didn’t add anyone else, he said:
“No. Because that was not the idea of the club. I am confident that we will do the things that we are all aligned on.”
What has been encouraging, despite the silence, is that he has said he is confident of things getting done.
There is obviously a plan in place for this transfer window but, as we have seen with Mohamed Diomande, it is a tight ship being run by Nils Koppen and Philippe Clement as they go about their business for Rangers.
Just because we aren’t seeing any names, it doesn’t mean that we aren’t trying to get anything over the line.
He’s not stupid.
Even before the winter break, the gaffer was looking to replace Kemar Roofe if his prognosis was bad and he has been ruled out for the long-term.
Then you add Danilo being out for most of the season and Abdallah Sima also joining the numbers in the treatment room and there is no way that he would be happy with just Fabio Silva.
It might be frustrating but we have to trust the manager and that progress is being made behind the scenes.
The alternative isn’t worth thinking about.
