Rangers hope they’ve found a replacement for Southampton-bound Joe Aribo after striking terms with Tom Lawrence. The Welsh midfield ace is available on a free after leaving crisis-hit Derby County. But the Ibrox faithful calling in the Hotline reckon their club’s buy-low, sell high policy is a recipe for success.
Adam Sinclair emailed in: “This is exactly how Rangers should be approaching the transfer market. As hard as it is to let someone as talented as Joe Aribo leave, we simply cannot knock back £10million offers for players who cost us £300,000, especially with just 12 months left on their contracts. Getting Lawrence in on a free transfer looks like smart business too. Hopefully he can score a few more than Aribo and offer us a little more threat from midfield.”
David Campbell, Clydebank, said: “If there was one complaint about Aribo, it was that he didn’t score enough. But Lawrence has a better strike rate with Derby so adding him to our team on a free means we should be able to reinvest the Aribo cash on a right winger, which is a position Rangers should have addressed years ago.”
