As I told you earlier in the Week about Lescott my source tells me that the deal is almost done and we should see him in the famous Royal Blue shortly possibly as early as tomorrow.
17 Aug 2016 21:55:23
Love when folk say "my sources". Sound like your in the CIA. Just say wee tam from doon the pub.
17 Aug 2016 22:14:56
Blueboy you've put it out there good on ye mate, unlike a lot of folk on here I'll take your word and appreciate any info regarding my club from a fellow supporter.
Lescott would be a terrific signing IMO not only just to improve the first team right away but his experience along with Barton, Wallace, Kranjcar and Miller will be invaluable come the business end of the season.
18 Aug 2016 10:35:38
Im not so sure about lescott tbh and would have preferred grigg than garner 6 goals in all of last season donesnt full me with confidence e but hope I'm wrong.
18 Aug 2016 11:02:51
JUST PUTTING MY OPINION OUT THERE
lescott is too slow and isn't with the program anymore.
everyone is right he was a top defender in a top team but he has lost it and doesn't have the pace of the game I thbink its a mistake going for him but I hope he proves me wrong and is able to keep up with the pace.
18 Aug 2016 11:17:16
I'm actually really excited for the lescott signing. Put his Aston villa season aside the whole team was horrible. He's really solid and a premiere league proven defender. he's played against the best and will add a lot to our team.
Garner on the other hand played in a very defensive Preston team were he had to get back and create a lot. He will shine in an attacking team like rangers. Just give him time to shine.
18 Aug 2016 11:24:20
Garner scored 50 goals over 2 seasons in the same division as Wigan were in last year. Griggs has the name but I'd bet that garner will be just as effective while costing considerably less.
18 Aug 2016 19:22:07
Lescott look weak at times only against some of the best forwards on earth.
That lis not going to happen here.
17 Aug 2016 17:48:06
Hears today that lescott is very very intrested in moving north too sign for rangers as he belives in the challenge and is relishing a taste of old firm games scource is former player still connected to the club.
17 Aug 2016 15:34:15
Word on street is massive Black guy seen heading to Murray Park today. Heard it was Christopher Samba but no solid info, just stadium chat. Guys been sold for a few bob a few times. Can't be worse than what we've got so hey-Ho let's go.
17 Aug 2016 15:43:15
I smell bull.
17 Aug 2016 15:45:24
Wesley Snipes?
17 Aug 2016 15:50:34
Is Wesley snipes not in jail for tax evasion?
Got to love demolition man. Classic action movie.
17 Aug 2016 15:54:59
I smell man wee.
17 Aug 2016 15:55:00
chris eubank?
17 Aug 2016 15:56:47
was he walking with 3 white guys? might have been the A-team.
17 Aug 2016 15:47:29
This kind of thing never happens, mind you Dodoo appeared at a Ibrox out of the blue only there was no talk on social media before it.
17 Aug 2016 16:04:32
He was incarcerated yes, although perhaps the hat submitted a sly £1 million bid which the Department of Justice have reluctantly accepted!
17 Aug 2016 16:05:20
Marvin Andrews. He has heard us all pray to God for a no none sense defender and he is hear to preach to the converted?
17 Aug 2016 16:29:31
Lescott hopefully, the guys 6ft3 . "massive black guy" definitely matches the description lol.
17 Aug 2016 16:38:25
It's a guy called Jake Clemons. The magic hats looking to bring back the Glory Days, give the timothies a Long Walk Home through the Junglelands into the Darkness on the Edge of Town. For those of you who don't know him he was Born in the USA, is Born to Run and was On Fire at Hampden on 2nd June.
17 Aug 2016 16:52:26
Anyone for the airport curry passed the petrol station.
17 Aug 2016 16:56:19
Ray Charles, he would defend better than the two dumplings at centre back!
17 Aug 2016 17:24:18
Big Lebron?
17 Aug 2016 18:00:10
John Coffey?
17 Aug 2016 18:47:18
Its morpheus, here to offer warbs a choice between red pill (senderos) or blue pill (lescott) lol.
17 Aug 2016 20:03:36
While I highly doubt it is true, I secretly hope it is as he has one of the best football chants I have ever heard.
17 Aug 2016 20:10:41
Can't go this drivel anymore. 'Can't be worse than what we've got", "better than two dumplings at the back". Show some respect. These are Rangers players and as far as I can tell DW and RK give 100% for the jersey. They're professional and hard working. What've you ever done for the club? These lads got us back in the top flight. I will never forget that. You sound like that mob. God forbid any of these lads end up reading this forum. They're confidence and love for the club would be shattered. Give it a rest.
17 Aug 2016 20:50:57
Well said bilbo am with you on that one give the guys a break becoming scape goats by a lot of fans.
17 Aug 2016 21:56:47
Akenfenwa.
17 Aug 2016 22:46:13
Bilbo, we need more like you. Guys that support 100% all our players. I've said this numerous times and been slated.
18 Aug 2016 08:24:26
I have no problem with constructive criticism during a post analysis. Contributing opinions on where a player could improve or pointing out mistakes they might have made. But merely slagging them on a regular basis is not on. Not for me thanks.
18 Aug 2016 11:07:11
heard it was bobo coming to get us.
18 Aug 2016 21:39:13
All the guys ripping the poster about the massive black guy, ****, he was right all along, big guy called Mati zata, it's on his Instagram account, type his name in and you will see,
17 Aug 2016 14:15:36
I've read a lot about offers for tav is there any real truth in them I like him going forward that's it if we could get 1 maybe 2 mil I'd take it all day long and invest it back in our defence.
17 Aug 2016 12:35:01
The team that were in for tav apparently bought another RB for over 1 mil so doubt that they will go for tav also.
17 Aug 2016 12:45:26
normally i would agree with you on tav but burnley game aside where the whole team didn't perform i think tavs had a very decent start to the season and was my MOTM for the dundee game mainly for his defensive work.
17 Aug 2016 12:46:21
1 maybe 2 million u will eat your words in a year or two when we take between 4 and 8 millioin depending on how we do in the league. one of our best players last season can't believe there are bears out there that don't want him here or are willing to settly for pennys for him.
17 Aug 2016 13:05:27
Tav has to stay. plays a massive part in a lot of our goals. that's hard to replace especially for a rb.
17 Aug 2016 13:32:53
don't believe Tav was ever in danger or interested in going anywhere certainly not Turkey.
17 Aug 2016 13:44:31
Tavernier is arguably our best defensive player and he adds significantly to our goals and assists. Defensively he is at least as good as Wallace but little is said of Wallace's defensive frailty. Our problems stem from our centre backs and the historic lack of quality defensive midfield players. With Halliday still deployed in a defensive midfield role that still remains an issue but objectively, when Crooks is fit that problem will be resolved.
17 Aug 2016 13:50:03
Garner having medical now.
17 Aug 2016 14:03:58
Warburton said there has been no contact for any rangers players, so make of that what you will.
17 Aug 2016 14:07:48
Think it was the media in scotland trying to cause disharmony as per.
I was one who would have taken £2.5m for Tav had it been offered purely because I felt he can't defend but that opinion has very much changed as the last couple of games he has looked solid and doesn't seem to go gallavanting up the pitch as often, since then he's actually seemed like a good defender.
17 Aug 2016 14:13:20
TAVS going nowhere guys!
17 Aug 2016 14:20:02
If we do sell tav I think we should go after hearts RB Callum Paterson. He would be a good replacement and he is only 21.
17 Aug 2016 14:29:34
Tav does seem to have stepped up for me in the past couple of games. Will see for myself against Motherwell this weekend but in a season or two I agree he has the potential to be a 5 mill player, so hang on to him.
17 Aug 2016 14:55:20
One of the best players we've got for 1-2 mill. absolutely mental.
17 Aug 2016 15:10:35
Get Tav back on freekick duties, are you listening Joey.
17 Aug 2016 15:21:39
tom42 I agree with you on the tav issue obviously but I don't think we are short of defensive mids barton, rossiter and crooks all play in that position and rossiter for me is one of the first names on the team sheet.
17 Aug 2016 15:32:04
Lee Wallace is our best defensive player and arguably one of our best players. Hence player of season etc etc. Tav is a great player. Scored some good goals in a Mickey Mouse league. Surprised Foderingham didn't get a few. I agree Tav has worked on his defending and has looked better the last few games. However, I have seen his weaknesses exploited and if we were playing better teams, we would've shifted more goals versus well, Hamilton and Dundee. I fear if we play Tav against that mob, we will get hammered. Not all his fault but need to be more defensive against that mob. Hodson. In fact I would go 5 at back, 3 CHs and then allow Tav and Wallace to play wing back. But MW is a one formation guy so I'm not looking forward to it tbh.
17 Aug 2016 15:50:20
Didn't rip us the last time as Tav was played in a more reserved role.
17 Aug 2016 17:32:15
Let's judge our player's over a season rather than a few games.
Tav at the very least has earned a shot at the spl. I don't get the fans that want him dropped or sold. If the Turks want to pay silly money then fair enough.
Media in Scotland is part of the problem - every time there is a decent player in Scotland they do their best to unsettle them. We should be desperately trying to keep talent not trying to convince them they are too good for us.
17 Aug 2016 18:19:36
James Stirling, I agree 100%. As soon as Crooks is fit I reckon we will have the best defensive midfield in Scottish Football. Ineed, as things look at the moment with the likely striker and defender signings we will be difficult to beat by anyone!
17 Aug 2016 18:38:52
BBW if Wallace is arguably our best player then I fear for us big time he is shocking defensively and worse than tav but gets away with it because he is captain and stayed for the journey IMHO.
17 Aug 2016 20:16:25
Nope. Can't agree with that. Wallace runs the full length of the park for 90mins. What an engine that guy has. He's not invincible and has the odd mistake. IMHO he is class. True athlete and professional. Aye agree that Tav deserves his shot in SPL. If he just learns when to bomb forward and when to hang back. He could be best RB in SPL no doubt.
18 Aug 2016 11:16:15
also Wallace is the best left back in Scottish football including his defending gannet ya bunnet.
17 Aug 2016 12:14:58
Expect to see signings over the next week or 2 a centre half and a striker, warburton know what needs to be done its about getting the players he wants big season for him to stake his place in rangers history if we can take the league surely chapping at Kings door to get 2 more quality players in.
17 Aug 2016 12:20:39
Well Warburton has told us he is trying to bring in two more players so unless you have some info on who they are then what's the rumour here?
17 Aug 2016 12:33:50
The transfer window closes in 2 weeks time and warbs has said he's seeking both these positions. We're also openly pursuing players in each of these positions, this is fact not a rumour.
17 Aug 2016 14:10:25
Lol its all over the media we are in for Lescott, Garner and have Senderos on trial, so this is hardly .
Unless of course you have been living under a rock or indeed just like to state the obvious, either way youve given me a chuckle so cheers bud :)
17 Aug 2016 12:14:54
Rangers looking at the following players either on loan or free transfers.
Essaid Belkalem
Peter Odemwingie
Timothy Fosu-Mensah
Gabriel Agbonlahor
Jack harper.
17 Aug 2016 12:21:27
Lots of hot air and single fish here pal.
17 Aug 2016 12:27:23
Haha your off your heed mate. fosu mensah will be a big player for united this season. Only one i'd take is harper, but then again we sont need him eapecially if we are getting Gerner. We will have garner waggy dodoo.
17 Aug 2016 15:51:33
Garner, Lescott and Senderos and that's it till Jan anyway.
17 Aug 2016 11:22:38
Rangers set to launch £1mil damages claim against Mike Ashley.
17 Aug 2016 13:15:03
We have already launched a claim against white, green, Ahmed, Stockbridge, Ashley and co, I think the claim is for 4mill, basically it's because the old board didn't try and get the best deal for the club, which company directors are ment to do.
17 Aug 2016 15:35:29
Using the 4m as leverage so when the judge inevitably rules in our favour. That sorry sack Gashley will walk away from club instead of paying. Very smart DK.
17 Aug 2016 16:39:43
The 1 mill action is separate to the 4 mill. It relates to use of club trademarks without our consent, namely the crest on the new shirt. After the current board got back control of all intellectual property (trademarked images and names) any use has to be ratified by its owner, in the case of the new kit it wasn't.
