Rangers Rumours Archive May 21 2017

21 May 2017 19:23:57
Anyone heard anything about charlie adam coming back? Stoke haven't offered him a new contract yet, maybe he would take a wage cut to come back, he's only 31.

21 May 2017 19:31:11
Said he didn't want to

21 May 2017 19:42:35
Cant see that aywhere joscro, seen in a recent interview that he would like to stay at stoke but wouldn't rule out a move back to scotland.

21 May 2017 21:51:49
Please no.

22 May 2017 00:18:08
All i can see is a pile of 30+ yo players being mentioned. Just won't do. Especially old Rangers players.

22 May 2017 08:46:24
Can't wrap my head round people wanting Lafferty back and not Adam. Would take Adam back any day of the week, he's been performing in the EPL for years and would be a massive improvement on our current crop.

22 May 2017 11:29:11
lafferty should be nowhere near ibrox and that's for no other reason than he is mince my mates are celtic fans and they are laughing at us being linked with him again they are saying oh yes please because they know he wouldn't help up catch them

22 May 2017 11:44:20
To be fair all Celtic fans ever do is laugh, but they might have a
Point in this case.

22 May 2017 11:59:44
Lafferty or adam will no be back all speculation and rubbish

22 May 2017 15:27:14
Please no adam ☹☹

23 May 2017 14:35:55
i don't think adam and lafferty are players that pedro would want.
im sure dorrans wants to move to the U. S but with jack coming in and hopefully naisy and with rossiter and niko due back the middle doest look bad at all and i think there will be another 1/ 2 players aded in that area and with young barjonas coming trough we all need to be more positive and signing a few guys over 30 that are winners will nt be a bad thing for us to have in our squad alves is a brilliant player and just because of his age people are doubting him and a lot of them where the ones that wanted hill to get another year sorry but hill is older and slower and doesn't have the pedegree that laves does i know who i'd prefer

23 May 2017 17:40:39
Leeds are looking into signing Adams

21 May 2017 18:14:41
So far looks as though likely signings to be announced after the weekend could be Alves and Ryan Jack, with potential recruits Dorrans, Weiss, Naismith? That's the names I'm seeing most of if true it's an improvement will wait to see if it happens though but feeling optimistic.

21 May 2017 18:42:33
Apparently Dorrans is open to the move but the money Rangers are offering is a massive drop from what he's currently on so he's unlikely to sign unless it increases dramatically.

22 May 2017 01:20:01
I would be well happy if all we brought in were Alves, Dorrans, Jack, Weiss and Naismith! Although not 100% sure about Naismith. Would like to see Danny from Zenit though!

22 May 2017 10:32:21
Surely Dorrans has made enough money from his years on big wages to be willing to take a drop to (delete as appropriate) join his boyhood heroes/ join a massive club/ join the most successful team in world football/ play in the Europa league/ win trophies on a regular basis/ move closer to his family.

22 May 2017 20:13:51
You'd think so STYAB but the reality is that it's money that drives the majority of players ambitions nowadays rather than loyalty to a boyhood club.

The info came from his dad via my uncle, the deal could still happen but not if rangers don't up their wage offer.

21 may 2017 16:42:13
do not shoot the messenger!
i have been a long chat with one of my auld pals about how he thinks rangers aren't going to get on next year, and ma pal has filled me in that he thinks josef martinez is coming to rangers, i for one like the look of him as he is fast, prolific, young (23), and played for some top teams such as the torino first team, highly doubt he will be at rangers but u never know as he can fill in on the wings if pedro wants to try garner around him, don't know if he'd be a pre contract singing or money as not researched as much.

21 May 2017 17:48:24
Says on transfermarkt that he moved to Alanta united for 3.83m in march this year so don't think us signing him isn't very realistic

21 May 2017 18:52:27
Add to that his couple hundred thousand a week wages. Some people need to get a grip.

22 May 2017 11:22:51
Please add to that list:
Windass
Crooks
Waghorn
Halliday
Garner

They're all complete piss especially windass I don't see why Pedro likes the shite bag, no ball control, no finishing capability, junk.

22 May 2017 14:32:53
I would keep Garner for another season, he started to play better at the end. Maybe Pedro has introduced a style of play that suits him

23 May 2017 15:17:04
windass looked a good player but he hasn't got the grit u need to be a midfielder in scotland i hope he comes out next season and proves me wrong but to me the boy doesn't go in for a challange even if he is favourite to win it maybe garner can teach him a thing or two.

21 May 2017 08:10:56
Daily record reports that jack will be announced next Sunday after the cup final and we are also looking at Patterson from hearts. I know he was out injured but wasn't he about to sign for Wigan for about 1million? Be good business if we got him for free.

21 May 2017 09:57:39
Patterson is brilliant player, would be amazing signing for free happy days! Fair play to pc for taking best talent in scotland he's obviously done his homework

21 May 2017 10:08:46
Only concern with the likes of jack and Patterson, are they players who will get us near Celtic. Very much doubt it!

21 May 2017 11:05:02
I hear you Ronnie but bringing in players to fervid closer to Celtic will cost a few million and we don't have that at the moment. But if we can bring in guys like this then there will be a sell on value that we can reinvest. There is no quick fix now with an open cheque book. Pedro has to bring in wisely, certainly a lot more wiser than MW did last season.

21 May 2017 11:14:09
RonnieR9 I suppose you want kante and dani alves instead? Jack and Patterson are good players much better than what we have this is a step in the right direction. You lot are never happy lol

21 May 2017 11:19:19
Every right not to be happy with the garbage I've been watching for the last few years. They are an improvement on the current imposters but still way short of what is required to close the gap.

21 May 2017 11:42:08
While guys like Jack and Patterson might be better than what we have, (although in Patterson's case, especially after his injury, that is debatable), we will not overtake Celtic with a team full of Scots, some of who are no more than journeymen!

To compete and to progress in Europe we need a mixture of quality overseas Internationalists and the best young Scottish players, (some of who might already be at Rangers) .

I for one will be delighted if we sign Alves and another proven centre back since that is where a lot of our problems were this season. We also need a quality midfield and I am just hoping that Pedro can bring in some real class in that department since guys like Halliday and Holt will take us no where. Up front we need a younger player in the style of Miller and a top quality winger.

If rumours are correct and McKay goes then we will need two wingers.

So let's hope that there really is £13m available for an influx of quality to replace the wasters that Warburton signed.

21 May 2017 11:46:57
Ryan jack is a done deal, player wants to wait till after final before announcing.

21 May 2017 13:21:28
jack and paterson will be an upgrade on what we have and already established players in this league.

celtic signed armstrong and mackay steven and the fans thought it was a wrong one too but look at armstrong for them now even though macay steven never worked out it was still good business

im concerned if the transfer budget is true that it will be partly used to pay players off to leave? i could be wrong on that one and it might be kept seperate but it will eat a bit of money up if it does.

21 May 2017 13:29:25
I totally agree with Ronnie r9

21 May 2017 17:12:50
I reckon that Jack, Rossiter, if he can stay fit and two top quality attacking midfield players, one of them with a proven goalscoring record plus two new centre backs and the young lads that played today plus a winer to replace MCKAY, (assuming that he goes), the players that remain, (assuming that it is just Crooks, Windass and Holt), and our two full backs, (not Hodson), and the young lads and Miller, Krancjar and Wilson, and we will have a good enough squad to challenge the manky mob!

21 May 2017 18:13:22
Wow, that's really going to take the shine off our treble 😯

21 May 2017 18:17:24
Does patterson mean the end of tav then? No sure a guy coming back from a near career ending injury is a better option than him

21 May 2017 18:19:10
Jack and Patterson are 1 better than what we have and 2 makes good business sense. Both already wanted and imo will only get better! So sign up for 3-4 yrs and if we wanted sell in 2-3 for a total profit that could be in the region of £5m combined.
In the past we have got some decent players from these Clubs and what i'd give for another home signing like Davey Robertson!

21 May 2017 18:35:38
Celtic will win the SPL by another 30 points. Rangers will be lucky to finish 4th.

21 May 2017 23:10:11
celtic will probably win the league by 15+ but i expect rangers to finish 2nd

22 May 2017 11:41:01
look in trying to catch celtic one thing is true all we need to do is be consistantly better than the rest of the spl which all of the players we have been linked with will do except lafferty.
if we are better than the rest then the campaign for the spl will be down to the old firms and if bth teams are on a winning streak then those games can go either way but if we get better than the rest celtic won't be that far in front of us points wise if at all.

seasons like that don't happen twice in a row and celtic will slip up agianst 1- or two teams next year aswell as a couple of draws.

23 May 2017 15:23:56
put it this way yes the points gap was terrible this year and money wise there is no comparison but all they did was to sign three players and the drss we beat last year turned into the invincibles so who is to say we can't do the same with a few good signings!

people on here are sooo negative and can never see the glass as half full
