Rangers Joey Veerman mistake could be repeated in no brainer one-or-other decision

If there is one transfer saga that can’t be pointed to as the turning point for the Rangers board and their relationship with Steven Gerrard, it was probably Joey Veerman.

The former Gers manager had tidy midfielders who could handle the ball,

but Scott Arfield was always looking better up top,

therefore the team needed a true number eight who could score goals.

Rangers nearly made a move at Heerenveen,

but they were priced out, and now there are rumors of Premier League interest,

so Joey Veerman may be headed for a big-money transfer.

The one question that was raised about the Netherland’s international was his temperament and his mental strength.

We saw that at first hand in 2022 for the Champions League play-offs when he simply downed tools as things got tough and weren’t going his way,

his post-match interview was like something a disgruntled teenager would come out with.

Characteristics that, in an odd one-sided tale,

he now seems to be connected to a transfer to the Premier League.

David Moyes wants to spend more of the money that West Ham United received with the sale of Declan Rice,

and he has a midfield player at the top of his wish list.

Oddly enough, though, the boss of the Hammers prefers Kalvin Philipps.

When it comes to their playing styles, they couldn’t be more different.

Joey Veerman would have been a huge asset to the Rangers,

but they would have been much better off without him because Tomas Soucek and James Ward-Prowse are already in his squad.

However,

it appears that they are set on signing a player who plays at a position where they already have choices and has missed a significant portion of the last two seasons due to injury.

It was a major mistake for West Ham not to sign Veerman,

which contributed significantly to their failure to win the league title.

It appears that they are going to make a similar error.
