Why did Rangers sell Waghorn and Garner?

If he's such a good acquisition seems odd they are allowing him to leave.
Maybe the club should skip all this, Hallam and try and sign Cardio-Vascular? Heard he's fast and can run all day long. Might be worth a look at?hallamblue wrote:I mean sick note in his potential to be unwell or not physically fit enough Cardio- vascular wise to play CC again.

Town boss Mick McCarthy has revealed that Brighton central defender Connor Goldson had even been handed a squad number before his proposed loan move to the Blues broke down last Thursday, the final day of the transfer window.
As TWTD revealed, Goldson was at the club and had undergone a medical with the terms of his loan agreed before the collapse of the Seagulls’ loan move for Club Brugge defender Stefano Denswil scuppered the switch.
The Belgian side pulled the plug on Denswil’s exit as another of their defenders, Benoît Poulain, was facing a longer than anticipated spell on the sidelines.
“It was stressful for Connor, I think,” McCarthy reflected on the day’s events. “And I feel really sorry for him because he’d committed to me, to Ipswich, to coming here and there were lots of other people in his earhole trying to convince him to go here, there and everywhere, other coaches trying to convince him otherwise.
“And fair play to Chris Hughton at Brighton, to Connor, to Simon Kennedy his agent, who stuck with us all the time, despite everybody else trying to bend his ear and get him anywhere else.
“And then right at the very end of it, the player that Brighton were going to get, he was OK, they’d got their player in on loan, but the club they were getting him from one of their centre-backs got injured, so they had to call him back.
“And that was the nonsense during the day. Connor was here, he’d signed the forms, he was ready to start with us, he’d got his squad number, but Brighton couldn’t do the deal and then they couldn’t get a centre-half and I think they tried pretty much all day. It was kind of no fault of anybody’s really.
“And in the end I was made aware of Callum Connolly’s availability and we were going to take them both.
“I said to Marcus, ‘Can we do them both, let’s take that one and then at least we’ve got one and if the other one doesn’t happen, then it doesn’t happen but we’ve got a good defender in’. So that’s what happened, that’s the full story of it.”
While the closure of the window means he can’t sign players who are with clubs, McCarthy can still bring in free agents. Might he go down that route?
“Not for Saturday, let’s see how we get on. We might be brilliant and have a clean sheet and, to be fair, they pretty much have been so far, we just came up against a very good team in Fulham and they were better than us. But I can't say it was any fault of the back four or anybody in particular.”
