A lot of folks saying wait and get Walker on a pre-contract. Why wait and risk missing out?

A team down south might fancy a punt on a pre-contract. Hearts want Β£1m? Pay them it. He's worth that all day long.

Guaranteed to make a profit on him down the line.



28 Jun 2017 02:47:47
If the boy wants to come to rangers he will wait on us. If he goes South so be it. He is not as committed to the Club as he is to Β£'s.

Why give Hearts the money! They are just getting greedy!



28 Jun 2017 07:18:59
He's not our player, so why would he be committed to the club? He's a professional who's going to take the beat offer on the table. Why not strike while we are the best offer on the table? Why miss out on a quality player at a quality price over misplaced pride?



28 Jun 2017 08:38:25
I reckon Β£700'000 max for him he's in the last year of his contract maybe if he had 2 years left on his contract Β£1 million would be about right for the guy but hearts in my opinion are just holding out for as much as they can get for their player which they are entitled to do but either way it's a tough 1 for hearts as a club and the player himself because of the last year contract situation after all it's the same situation as our own Barry McKay is in as well



28 Jun 2017 09:50:17
TOMUSA - your comment implies that all other signings so far are committed to the club. What r u on?



27 Jun 2017 17:37:53
Apparently halliday is on his way to Austria to deal a 12 month loan deal to that team from Azerbaijan (they're doing a pre season training camp out there) . Must admit I'm surprised he took up the offer to go out there.



27 Jun 2017 18:44:53
Azerbaijan! 😫
Sounds more like banishment than a loan deal.
Good luck to him.



27 Jun 2017 19:21:27
They are in the Europa starting a qualifying round a head of us. I'm not 1 bit surprised



28 Jun 2017 08:50:44
Is that not where they send criminals in Harry Potter?

Hi guys dose anyone know if the game is on the tv Thursday night



27 Jun 2017 13:36:46
Its on Premier Sports at 7:45pm.



27 Jun 2017 20:40:29
Am living on the republic of Ireland and am lead to believe premier sports was created by an Irish man in Luxembourg but ironically only can be accessed through sky/ virgin in the UK for 10 pounds a month, not in the ROI. hope to stream or get highlights on RTV.



27 Jun 2017 12:47:31
Barry McKay is a good player championship level he played decent in less than a handful of games last year, as good as a player down, new contracts are deserved on merit and performance and he doesn't deserve it complete liability sell now.



27 Jun 2017 17:03:20
Eh? Battled there a bit. McKay's a great player. Needs to get stuck into the 50-50 ball I agree but has the best first touch of any player in our team and I wouldn't be so hasty getting rid of him.



27 Jun 2017 17:45:05
I personally think Mckay has been played out of position. i'd play him as a number 10 behind the striker. I don't think we have a better passer of the ball than him and I think he would be much more involved playing behind the front man.



27 Jun 2017 20:31:24
I've never understood why a right footed player was continually played on the left, and vice-versa, ie Mckay and Waghorn, another tactic of the breadman!



27 Jun 2017 21:09:55
McKay a great player yeah right, great players are consistent can win games on their own, as I said good championship player and before you say he didn't have the players round about him neither did old man miller 15 years or so senior, Barry thinks he's better than what he is



27 Jun 2017 12:22:42
I still reckon we are 3 or 4 quality players away. Especially a quality right back who can defend and a playmaker in midfield . We need to get this done in next week or two otherwise the 2nd qualifying tie against limassol looks like it could be a problem.



27 Jun 2017 12:40:31
Kranjcar is a playmaker and Dorrans is also coming in. Tav is a really good player, now he will have license to roam forward thanks to Jack.



27 Jun 2017 14:15:32
Dorrans is far from confirmed, Kranjcar is far from his best, your post is far from well considered.

yours sincerely,

Me.



27 Jun 2017 16:32:18
Spoc

Tavernier can't defend and Ryan Jack being there doesn't change that. I'm also sure Jack wasn't signed so he could cover Tavernier. Hopefully we get Β£1m plus for him and go out and get a better right back



27 Jun 2017 18:07:48
Should not let Tav go if anything less than Β£2m. Agree that JAck will provide more secure cover for the defence this season. Believe Jack will be an outstanding signing.



27 Jun 2017 23:17:08
We will never get 2m for tac and would be very surprised if we get 1m.

I don't get this apparent treatment of McKay, to me i think he could vastly improve with the better standard of player at ibrox now, and to be fair we seem to be lacking in the wide areas, does pedro have a plan to further address that area of the pitch, maybe barry is not conducting himself in an appropriate manner, who knows but i genuinely see a decent player there going to waste



27 Jun 2017 09:58:13
Does he have the attitude to improve, well the manager doesn't seem to think so and unless you know Mackay personally which the manager will and see him in training every day then what do you know about a guy who looks like he can't be bothered



27 Jun 2017 09:58:53
I'm guessing that Pedro has looked at him last season and in training and has decided that he's either not good enough or his attitude is not right.

That being the case, he would rather get decent cash for him now than nothing later.

Fantasy football is great but we play in the real world - trust the manager



27 Jun 2017 10:39:48
He isn't consistent enough. And his final ball is poor. That is if he puts a cross in. He needs to grow up very soon or he'll be off.



27 Jun 2017 10:41:58
I totally trust this manager, i'm just hoping with letting barry leave he has another player lined up because this season could turn out to be quite testing with euro games etc and we seem to have a thin squad so we could burn out, i do reckon we need another few players in



27 Jun 2017 11:44:12
Mackay is simply not good enough the boy thinks he is a better player than he is, if Nottingham forest want him then sell him



27 Jun 2017 12:23:19
spot on lawbear, and he is not a kid anymore although many fans seem to comment as if he is, not only does he seem to believe some of the hype he received and when you add his constant dodging of everything that is not better than 50/ 50 it is more than enough for me to say get what cash we can.



27 Jun 2017 09:35:05
Why don't we loan the likes of crooks, dodoo, o'halloran, halliday to the teams in our league but they cld'nt play against us, it wld strengthen other teams to play against the unwashed which they hv been doing to us past few seasons, examples stokes, Henderson and christie any thots.



27 Jun 2017 09:50:42
Halliday apparently off to Azerbaijan on loan and Forest interested in Mackay. I'd keep Crooks in the hope he recovers from injury (never had a chance under Warburton) and Dodoo never really got a chance either. Get rid of Kiernan, Hodson, Waghorn, et al, if on loan in the SPL fine.



27 Jun 2017 10:37:10
JBL27.how will loaning these players to spfl teams help them against the unwashed they couldn't do it last year with Rangers? You just have to face facts that they probably just aren't good enough and no team would probably take them with the wages they are on ( even paying half)



27 Jun 2017 11:47:04
I wouldn't loan out any of the players you listed they simply aren't good enough to make a difference to any sport teams. They are decent players but like I say wouldn't make a difference. I heard Crooks is wanted by Scunthorpe so sell him



27 Jun 2017 07:52:24
I think this is my last post on this subject- as I have made to many on it and I'm actually boring myself.

Well anyway- after yesterday's Dorrans story, along the lines of (Peds looking to get the nod to sign Dorrans within 24 hours) .

That was yesterday today nothing, not a word. Just that he still has interest in Jamie Walker and Dorrans, no time frame, no exclusive BS. Nothing.

The papers in Scotland probably know as much on that subject than we do! Because with the new manager and board not leaking things like days of old there making things up. Now you'd think after yesterday's headline news that the Norwich board are to consider the offer in 24 hours, you'd think they would be something. Especially with the Euro wildcard last spot nearing a close?

I like it in a way we're kinda suffocating the Rhebel and Sun. And others, but now it's becoming clear to me that there just making up graham Dorrans stories to sell papers.

But the only people responsible really for turning deals into full blown transfer sagas are usually the our daily rags!

How many more times are we going to hear the deal is so close for Dorrans and the next minute nothing.

I know anyone reading this may think I'm stating the obvious- and I would agree!
I think that's when it's time to move onto a different subject.

P. s if for some miraculous reason he signs today, I'll look πŸ‘€ like a impatient idiot LOL πŸ˜‚

On a nicer note πŸ“, I would like to thank Andy Halliday for his service. Not good enough. But a really nice guy, I hope 🀞 things work well for you in Azerbaijan πŸ‡¦πŸ‡Ώ.
You were one of us and u tried, not Rangers standard but at least your trying to move on not sit on your current contract like a leech, like a feeling could mention.

LETS SEE WHAT TODAY BRINGS BEARS. πŸ”΅βšͺοΈπŸ”΄.



27 Jun 2017 01:09:20
All this talk of Tav going to Forrest I'd personally take anything over a million for him and go out sign the boy Logan from aberdeen. Very similar player but can defend unlike Tav.



27 Jun 2017 05:58:27
How do you know they would sell him to us?



27 Jun 2017 08:32:49
Tav is better than logan



27 Jun 2017 08:48:33
Logan is absolutely awful! Aberdeen's worst player!



27 Jun 2017 01:12:16
Ed, can you do a poll to see who everyone would prefer between Dorrans and McLean?



{Ed033's Note -


Dorrans or McLean Poll

27 Jun 2017 08:56:36
Dorrans all day long a no brainier



27 Jun 2017 09:54:33
No brainer lol. people acting as if dorrans is world class hardly got a game at Norwich. rather we signed McLean. dorrans 30 yr old, no sell on value.



27 Jun 2017 10:43:22
Dorrans played every game at Norwich except when he was injured



27 Jun 2017 12:35:53
I agree, Dorrans all day long. Just wanted to show Caw he's one of a select few that doesn't rate him.



27 Jun 2017 14:11:19
If correct then he must have been injured for half the games over the last 2 seasons.
