Over the last fortnight Micky Beale has been drooling over Todd Cantwell, Tom Davies, Morgan Whittaker and today Nicolas Raskin.
No probing or arm-twisting is required, pop a question, drop and name and the new Ibrox boss will rattle off a few paragraphs on most players in the world. He likes to remind whoever will listen that he was once the Liverpool u-23 coach, he refers to them as ‘my Liverpool u-23s’.
Beale followed the development of Cantwell and Davies from u-12 level, Whittaker has been the outstanding player in League One this season while Raskin played against the Ibrox Tribute Act during the lockdown season.
Micky loves football almost as much as he enjoys talking about himself, his incredible achievements and his encyclopedic knowledge of almost any footballer.
After hearing about Beale chuntering away about Whittaker Swansea confirmed that they had turned down a bid from Ross Wilson to take the winger to Ibrox. At Kilmarnock on Wednesday night Beale was surprised when he was informed of the failed bid for Whittaker.
Asked for an update on Whittaker today Beale took exception to Swansea discussing transfer business in public!
There’s no stand-off. We’re doing the business in private but in South Wales they’ve spoken out about it so we’re not going to add to that. He’s come back from loan and could be in their squad this weekend. He’s their player.
Nothing will be announced before the weekend, the focus is on this game. In the last 24 hours there’s been one or two enquiries for some of ours which is interesting.
The focus is on this game but it might be the case one or two of ours might go out temporarily or permanently because they want to play. With one or two coming in you’re making room for what the squad will look like.
