Jordan Rossiter has agreed terms on 4 year contract. England U19 Captain should be a quality addition in centre of midfield.
Also hearing we want Dom Ball on permanant basis or additional year loan deal if a fee can't be agreed.
Hardly exclusives, will be delighted if we sign both, now all we need is bread and butter Centre Half, Penalty box striker and another wide player IMO.

11 May 2016 23:03:09
It now looks like we'll sign Rossiter for CDM and you admit yourself we need a solid CB. I'm pretty sure Crooks can cover CDM and CB. So, why would we need Ball back?

12 May 2016 03:26:51
Why would we not want Ball back?

12 May 2016 07:43:45
Yeh don't think ball will make it down there I'd buy him he's the kinda player who could make u some serious profit.

12 May 2016 09:25:02
If he won't make it down there how can he make serious profit?

12 May 2016 10:04:31
For instance if it don't work out we get him reasonably cheap for a player of his quality he Will excel up here. warbs rates him n we might b lucky enough that spurs have loads of quality in that position.

12 May 2016 10:33:21
i think they will let ball come up here for small price and I think he could do a good job for us.

11 May 2016 18:16:11
Apparently warbs has pulled one out the magic hat. John Terry is coming for next season after he leaves Chelsea, said he wanted to finish his career at Rangers.

11 May 2016 18:42:17
As much i would like big JT i defo see him going to MLS or China where he could earn a lot more than what rangers offer.

11 May 2016 19:02:58
Op i read last week jt was going to china, were he will earn 12 million pound a year making him the highest earner in chinese league.

11 May 2016 19:08:31
Do people actually believe the rubbish coming out of their mouths. As much chance of seeing the Pope in ibrox than you are John Terry.

11 May 2016 20:14:16
Bosman, the Pope is passed it and we are ok for midfielders anyway. I hear that JT is also bringing his mum to run the Rangers lottery and his next door neighbour drive the team bus.

Well, its as much sense as the original post.

Wibble Wibble.

11 May 2016 21:09:36
Why would he want to finish his career at rangers he's a celtic fan! I take it the op is on the wind up.

11 May 2016 23:15:53
Wags of Glasgow beware!

11 May 2016 23:21:59
The Pope would be some signing do you reckon he be up for a sing song.

11 May 2016 23:23:43
I was said if he goes to the MLS his wages would drop dramatically I read this from a few places and he has said he is unsure of a move to China to be honest I think he will stay at Chelsea but I wouldn't rule anything out just yet.

11 May 2016 18:31:30
It's has taken some beating but this rumour has just topped the joey Barton rumour as the most ridiculous rumour so far.

11 May 2016 18:58:22
AllanRFC, nah I reckon warbo could pull some last minute change out of the pocket to snap him up. Have heard from one of JT's relatives a moves on the horizon, would be an absolute cracker!

12 May 2016 07:46:54
Gotta love that bull with my coffee. john terry ma baws for what 5,000 a week lmao.

12 May 2016 09:47:36
That is the biggest load of bull iv heard on here lol, John terry will have teams lined up to sign him if Chelsea don't give him a new contract.

12 May 2016 08:56:48
Obviously JT is not coming to Rangers.

12 May 2016 10:24:02
BigJohn you're right mate. Terry has been summoned to a meeting with romans advisors but looks set to move to China to make a mint for a year or two. He won't be at Ibrox and don't we all know by now Warbs doesn't like disruptive players? Aye sure well match a 12 mill per season salary to bring in a racist mad shagger. Jog on.

12 May 2016 12:09:05
If Jose gets united job then JT will join him as his captain at Old Trafford.

11 May 2016 11:00:19
Web page Empire of the KOP, they have written that its has been confirmed that Rangers is Jordan Rossiter next destination and Liverpool will receive meagre 250K, this has been backed up by the ever reliable Liverpool Echo.

This with reports in Dailyy Mail, Daily Record and the Scotsman, seems to me that this may well be all done bar the shouting, hopefully press conf with him in a bears top is forthcoming!

It all looking good if this is the first signing of the year. Bye Nicky Law, Nicky Clark and David Templeton, Zaleem, Ball, Bell.

Think Shields will get new contract, but it with all the wage that these guys will free up, Jordan Rossieter looks a stick on!

11 May 2016 12:21:24
Cant see Shiels getting new contract mate.

11 May 2016 12:27:44
No way Shields will get a contract, he's on funny money and has only started 1 game all season. I don't think any of the old guard will get one.
Would love Ball back either for another year or permanent. Spurs should just sell us him with a buy back clause, because let's face it he isn't getting in that team anytime soon.
Strange as it may sound I'd actually take Zalaleem back as well, he looked god when he came on against Celtic and would benefit from the extra time on the ball in the top league. I know he's had his critics (me especially) but I think because he came from Arsenal we forget he is only 18. Showed great maturity to slot that penalty away as well and has never hid once after losing possession.

11 May 2016 12:52:43
I agree with what you're saying re GZ bob. I thought that when he played there was a bit more cohesion within the team. Lightweight, yes. Undoubted ability, yes. Needs more time to mature then I reckon will be a VERY good player. As for Ball, would love to see him join us on a permanent deal.

11 May 2016 11:56:52
I can't see him keeping Dean Shiels. He's a bit part player now, so there would be no chance of him getting near the first team with Halliday Holt, Crooks, Windass and possibly (looking highly likely as you say) Rossiter. I personally would let him go and have young Burt on the peripherals instead.

11 May 2016 12:28:11
Disagree? Hope this happens as it will be a huge statement from MW and King. Liverpool fans are amazed that Rossiter is allowed to leave. One guy I work with who is a huge Liverpool fan and hails from liverpool, he also travels down regularly to games and he tells me that we have a player. Yes we only had to pay 250k instead of 8mil that the prem clubs would have paid which is spare change to them, the fact we convinced the boy that ibrox is the place to be instead of man city, spurs etc speaks volumes for mw king mcparland etc. Loving life again as a ger.

11 May 2016 12:55:04
Funnily enough I think Shiels will be offered a reduced contract with possibly Law also staying on lesser terms. Ball may alsi come back on loan. Just what I've heard.

11 May 2016 13:26:59
I would think Law will leave and possibly Shiels.

11 May 2016 13:39:42
I think law is onto plumbs and shiels along with him I hope and think ball will be back with us I think GZ is high in potential would be a good squad player for us I feel for templeton though alswys liked him when just very injury prone but did well when he actually played!

11 May 2016 15:09:40
Shiels loses concentration too easily and is simply not good enough. Law is not a 90 minute player. Both should leave to free up wages for players that can genuinely contribute.

Ball is a quality young player and it would be perfect if he was back for another season. That will depend on Spurs and whether they want to elevate him to the first team squad.

Zetalem has a real chance of being part of things at Arsenal next season but if he is to go out on loan I would hope that we would be the preferred Club for his services.

11 May 2016 15:18:31
part of the problem is no one is knocking down our door to
offer any our players out of contract an offer
shef utd may take law but where the rest will end up
who knows but you would think if we are not to offer new
contracts the players would be released.

11 May 2016 16:24:52
If we don't offer new contracts then they are automatically released as they are out of contract.

11 May 2016 17:30:49
Can't see law or sheils staying. Rossiter seems a cert now and with crooks and windass also coming both will be further down the pecking order.

11 May 2016 19:27:28
Clark Sheils Temps and Bell will all be in the SPFL nxt season with other teams looks like Law going down south.

11 May 2016 20:20:39
I agree with The Seeker in that Shiels will be offered a reduced contract, which, if I was him, I would take.

The Hat loves him, more for his professionalism and his ability to motivate the younger lads in the squad, so maybe thinking along the same lines as Miller this season, i. e. Senior Proffesional, not necessarily playing too often but having a great deal of input into the squad in broader terms.

{Ed039's Note - Miller played plenty this season, and contributed plenty as well)

11 May 2016 23:02:19
Ed, I meant that Shiels won't play much, I know Miller contributed plenty was just highlighting the senior aspect of Miller's contribution aside from playing.

10 May 2016 21:19:59
Rangers have rumoured to have dropped their interest in lech poznan's finnish centre half and are very much interested in signing out of contract millwall centre half big mark beevers, I posted this on here several weeks ago, hope we sign beevers, he'd be a very good no nonsense type signing for us, an old school solid centre half.

11 May 2016 10:07:06
i hope this does happen he is exactly what we need a big no nonsense defender.
