Wallace has to go, surprised he is not moving to Dundee, to join Miller, this window as partial makeweight for Kamara.



19 Jan 2019 00:38:10
He is not moving because his wages.



19 Jan 2019 08:57:40
Some of our supporters have short memories. Why does lee wallace HAVE to go? He loves our club and is still imo at least the 2nd best left back we have at rangers! He's been a very loyal servant to us, but that's not and should never be, the main reason, you keep any player at ibrox. The main reason wallace should stay at ibrox, is because he's a good left back and him and barisic, are our 2 best and actually natural, left backs! Its lee wallace's perogative to stay at rangers, until the end of the season, if he so wishes! Give our former captain some support and respect, for god's sake!



19 Jan 2019 09:12:43
Wallace deserves respect the guy has been through it with us. even to the detriment of his own career.



19 Jan 2019 09:32:19
No chance coops, halliday a much better bet at left back when barisic isn't fit. Wallace is done, stop playing the loyalty card. His wife didn't want to go to England and nobody in Scotland eould have matched his wages or he wouldn't have stayed, don't be kidded.



19 Jan 2019 10:29:41
Yea I tend to agree frustrated . it’s all about the wages for Wallace and prob always has been . wouldn’t have got a better deal anywhere else at any time . sayingvthat it’s not a bad thing and is quite normal and acceptable. but if he went anywhere we would most likely have to pick up half his wadge that’s why Stevie chooses to keep I would imagine. He’s better cover for that money.



19 Jan 2019 10:34:02
Wallace to stay.



19 Jan 2019 11:02:23
Respect for staying but he's finished as a footballer.

Was slightly above average in his prime with us and has regressed badly.



19 Jan 2019 16:06:06
Finished? he's 31 - but just for the record aye he did stay through all the crap, but he just isn't good enough fur us guys really. We have moved on and time to get rid of players who are not in Stevie G's in plans.



21 Jan 2019 19:46:08
Wallace has been a great servant to rangers football club and although we don’t know what has gone on behind the scenes he’s still been brilliant for rangers! I like Lee Wallace but if Gerrard isn’t playing him then he clearly feels he’s not in his plans especially when he would rather play Andy Halliday ahead of him.

And I know Andy isn’t a left back but he has done really well at left back. I’d really like to know what’s gone on to judge Wallace. If he has spoken his mind I don’t see the problem in that he is a winner and let’s be honest most of us if the stories are true would of had a go as well.



18 Jan 2019 17:10:33
Lee Hodson linked with January switch to Bolton and Ipswich, that's be a good couple grand of the wage bill.



18 Jan 2019 19:24:19
I thought he was out of contract at the end of the season anyway.



18 Jan 2019 20:57:32
Qblue his contract is up in June as you say.



18 Jan 2019 21:57:35
He is possibly get nominal fee to release now or at worst mutual termination of his contract. Don’t think he will be earning in excess of £5k per week though to be honest.



19 Jan 2019 00:43:27
“January switch” being the key words kid.



19 Jan 2019 08:35:51
He could sign pre contract in January and switch his loan deal to either of those interested clubs though. Either way like you said another couple of hundred grand saved.



19 Jan 2019 18:15:54
im sure we would allow him to leave.



18 Jan 2019 11:50:21
Anyone heard anything about the young guy Yuri Oliveira Ribeiro from Benfica we are linked with?



18 Jan 2019 12:18:25
Sam where you seeing we r linked to this player.



18 Jan 2019 12:29:33
He's seeing it on FIFA 19.



18 Jan 2019 11:12:17
Any word on a permanent deal for Kent? Not heard much recently
I’m worried he has a blistering 2nd half of the season and we get priced out from an epl team.



18 Jan 2019 17:13:06
Either way sir walter, we have to hope that he does have a blistering second half of the season. I hope we can get him permanently, he seems very keen to stay👍.



18 Jan 2019 20:47:04
I hope so Coldo! That’s why I’d rather see the deal done now.



18 Jan 2019 22:00:00
I’d be worried long term, but a blistering second half of the season would be ideal for our title credentials.
I guesstimate Liverpool want to see how he progresses before making a decision at the end of the season and there’s a strong chance we will get him on loan for additional 12m at worst.



19 Jan 2019 00:37:06
You sound like your telling yourself things you hope to hear and you've convinced yourself.



19 Jan 2019 08:42:39
Or that Iv read the reports in the media stating we will revisit the situation at the end of the season.
Or the fact we have said we want him and he is happy to be here, which means he is either signed permanently if deal can be struck, or is sent out on additional loan spell again as Liverpool are happy with his progress.
Playing great in SPFL usually means you don’t break into the very top sides in BPL just ask Patrick Roberts.
Only time BPL clubs take players performing well in our league is when they are a mid table team.
He wasn’t great on loan in Championship last season so I’d imagine Liverpool would sell or loan him back.



19 Jan 2019 09:39:39
He isn’t and will never be good enough for Liverpool I reckon we are his level so hopefully he will stay. Sure Liverpool won’t ask too much for him.



18 Jan 2019 10:30:20
Ryan Hardie agrees to sign a further years extension to contract.



18 Jan 2019 22:00:17
Win win for us.



18 Jan 2019 08:03:49
Any1 heard any update on Wallace? @Ed? Seems that in every interview when speaking about players coming in or going out his name is never mentioned.



{Ed001's Note - from what I am told the lad just wants to stay with Rangers.}

18 Jan 2019 10:36:35
Hopefully lee stays.



18 Jan 2019 10:42:16
Ed lad no longer good enough, no match fitness.



18 Jan 2019 10:57:25
Can’t see him leaving until the summer now when his contract runs out.



18 Jan 2019 12:09:41
I think he can more than do a job at left back even as back up. Would like to c him stay for 55. Not much loyalty in football anymore and he stayed with us through the hard times.



18 Jan 2019 12:20:20
S14 so u would pay 16k for a back up left back who has not played 90 minutes in two years.



18 Jan 2019 13:06:52
Guys done legs have gone, looks overweight to me. Been a good servant but picked up a huge wage the whole way through. We can't be paying a 3rd choice left back near on 20 grand a week.



18 Jan 2019 13:22:32
Jboy21 there’s more than fitness reasons as to he hasn’t played a lot of football. Don’t know how much he’s on a week and I’m guessing neither do u and that’s just a guess but I’m theory yes I would pay 2 players for each position a decent wage because we need quality all over the pitch and throughout the squad. If we want to compete we need good squad depth. Our no1 left back hasn’t had the greatest of times with fitness at the min so yes I’d b more than happy with that!



18 Jan 2019 17:14:01
Thats the only reason he stayed, the wage. He knew he would not get that wage anywhere else. If he wanted to play football he would go but he clearly prefers his salary. Harsh, yes but its true. His wage will be better spent in the summer. 👍.



18 Jan 2019 17:25:38
But he's not even 2nd or 3rd choice s14, he's behind barisic halliday and Flanagan.



18 Jan 2019 17:53:10
He's on 16 k his own addmission, account like your is what cost us last time.



18 Jan 2019 17:53:56
Correct coldco and fb.



18 Jan 2019 21:29:41
Jboy should we just get rid of fods then as well going on your way of thinking? No because we need a squad and we need competition. Like I said there’s not loyalty in football anymore and I personally think he’s been a good servant.



18 Jan 2019 22:03:51
Probably being allowed to run his contract down. With Barisic having a bad injury record so far it’s probably best to keep him as back up to Barisic and Halliday until end of season unless someone wants to buy him which is unlikely given contract status.
Flanagan is natural RB and will be back up for Tav, he was tried at LB a few times while Waldo was recovering from injury and Barisic was injured but now Halliday has proved his worth in there I think Flanagan will be back up now for Tav on other side.



19 Jan 2019 09:37:50
Not really the same situation s14, foods is back up keeper, u need a good one. Plus will probably be on less half wallaces wage. Paying 16 grand a week for a guy who can hardly make a squad is hardly good business sense. We need to run as a business, not on loyalty unfortunatrly.



19 Jan 2019 12:00:28
Fb unsay that but none of us actually know the reason he isn’t near the squad. I believe it’s due to the fall out and nothing to do with ability. Fans have been slaughtering Flanagan and Halliday at left back and to b fair both have had a few poor performances but your telling me Wallace shouldn’t have been playing over them when we were poor? Think we both no if it was just on ability he would have been.
