Gers to sign eros grezda £2mill from osijek.



27 Aug 2018 17:10:11
I’d prefer Jordan jones to be honest are even Jamie walker.



27 Aug 2018 17:14:49
Jones looks far better than this guy and a lot cheaper and knows the league already. Weird decision.



27 Aug 2018 17:18:32
Grezda to rangers. Same media outlet that reported barasic on flight to Edinburgh reporting grezda to fly to Scotland tomorrow 2,7 million
Ulsterdivision this guy three times the player jones and Walker are.



27 Aug 2018 17:28:18
I would like to see Atakyi get some first team action before spending another 2m on an Albanian winger.



27 Aug 2018 17:32:07
Jboy what do you base that on as I’d guess you have never seen him play.



27 Aug 2018 17:53:55
Grezda is at least 5 times the player jamie walker is! Never wanted walker at any time. Not near good enough for us! Jordan jones however is better than walker but i agree with jboy, he's not better than grezda from what i've seen of him!



27 Aug 2018 17:55:35
seen jordan jones a few times don't rate him sorrry ulster can't say anything about the albanian guy but if he is being recommended by borna bear and katic then may well be worth a shout have you seen the albanian lad play?



27 Aug 2018 17:57:24
WAtched youtube there and looks a player very fast and direct. But I do recall watching joey Garner on YouTube and he looked like luis Suarez so I will reserve judgement lol.



27 Aug 2018 18:14:21
Have to admit that I have seen nothing of this lad but willing to take the punt on this type of player. One thing I do trust is the scouting dept who have found us good value and worked well within a tight budget. If we get this guy and a CH i’ll be delighted!



27 Aug 2018 18:15:05
I've seen clips of him with. Albania, we need to trust Mark Allen, I've nèver been impressed with jones.



27 Aug 2018 18:34:29
Grezda never played against us as he was injured, so who has seen him play🤔, some amount of shoite gets spouted on here👍.



27 Aug 2018 18:44:40
Agreed Coldo people judging him on a few YouTube clips.



27 Aug 2018 19:04:59
If deal is finalised it will be for much less than being quoted. Around 1.75M with potential for it to hit 2.5M with add ons. I ain’t ever saw the lad play so only hope the recruitment team are continuing with the standard been brought in so far.



27 Aug 2018 19:12:03
Agree 36th, but sorry jones is terrible, my mates are season ticket holders at killie and can't believe anyone would pay half million.



27 Aug 2018 19:14:06
I'm know nothing of him so have trust mark allen and gerrard, all their signings have been great so no reason to doubt them👍 I just find it hilarious that people claim that he is better than such and such with zero actual knowledge of grezda's ability. let's face it the only way to know grezda is if you follow osijek or albania, other than playing against us, show me someone who followed/ follows osijek or albania and I'll show you a liar👍.



27 Aug 2018 19:19:47
I thought he played well against us last week.



27 Aug 2018 19:24:25
Check out Grezda’s Wikipedia personal life section!



27 Aug 2018 19:28:03
Don’t think he played and hopefully he is still Vet his injury 👍.



27 Aug 2018 19:35:20
A very recent addition, bruisedbear!



27 Aug 2018 19:37:07
brilliant bruised bear! love it!



27 Aug 2018 19:38:23
Magic bruised bear😂👍.



27 Aug 2018 19:48:46
Bruisebear 😂😂😂.



27 Aug 2018 19:49:00
Tbh I think Bockaj looked good over the 2 legs and he was just back from injury as well. Osijek were a much better side than a lot of us gave them credit for and they were, by the looks of it, understrengthed. Massive well done to getting through that tie, didn’t think Maribor were overly impressive though one player I did like was the young lad Zahovic, 21 kept popping up in little pockets around our box just could get his chances away.



27 Aug 2018 20:28:29
Never heard of him never mind seen him play.



27 Aug 2018 20:51:16
Coldco what's up with looking at footage, his games history and international pedigree and forming an opinion.
I prefer that than reading the Sun or record view.
Our DoF to date has done well, remember killie quoted us one million for jones, that's why we go abroad.



27 Aug 2018 20:52:30
Lm1991 u r right zahovic looked quality.



27 Aug 2018 20:52:51
Supercooper where have you saw enough of him to put him at 5 x the player of anybody?



27 Aug 2018 21:46:41
I've never seen or heard of this boy Grezda but he does seem to have a decent scoring record from the wing!

We will just have to trust Mark Allen's judgement on this signing!

People all here don't have spout rubbish though Just because we have signed him. they've all come on here saying he's 10 times the player of Walker and Jones I don't think they even know this boy

Total funds!



27 Aug 2018 21:51:13
Well said COLDO the scary thing is some of them actually expect us to believe the tripe they right on here!



27 Aug 2018 22:17:46
rh9 when have you seen grezda playing.



27 Aug 2018 22:18:19
Jboy, watching youtube vids of a player does not give you enough info to give you the full picture of a player mate, I remember watching vids of pena and herrera and they looked quality, we all know how that worked out👍. If you read my previous posts you'll see that I have said that I will standby allen and gerrards judgement as they have been faultless, I don't know why your are bringing them into this? I said that its hilarious that people form an opinion that a player is 5x better than another player based on a 2min youtube video or claim that they know the player because they follow albania or croatian football. Its comical jboy👍.



27 Aug 2018 22:28:52
Joby is a cracker! Clueless!



27 Aug 2018 23:00:56
True Coldo 👍🏼.



28 Aug 2018 07:32:18
We r all entitled to form an opinion. As to clueless lax puts us in same boat then. Enjoy mate.



28 Aug 2018 08:08:16
U don't get croatian footall on tv here, and I find it hard to believe anybody would have went out of the way to stream croatian league games. He's only had 6 caps for Albania so no way anybody has saw much of him at that level. He may well be A cracking player but it also bugs me when ppeople come on claiming he's so much better than others when they know nothing about him.



28 Aug 2018 10:02:32
Fb what is wrong with people forming an opinion of there own by looking at limited videos.
I said same when we signed ejaria, got slaughtered, boy doing ok I'd say.



28 Aug 2018 10:53:44
My point is u said and I quote "he's 3 times the player of Jones". No way u have saw close to enough of him to form this opinion he's had 6 caps for Albania so he's nor a well known international name. your basing your opinion on a couple of YouTube clips, there not exactly going to put his worst bits on there pena loowed as good as Zidane on YouTube clips when we signed him. He may well turn out to be a cracking signing but there's no need for people to lie like they know who the gUK is and how good he will be.



28 Aug 2018 10:59:04
Jboy21 just because you said Ejaria looks world class on clips and he is doing ok

Ahh here's a wee gold star to you 👏.



28 Aug 2018 12:54:22
having watched a few videos, yes, they always make the players look great. but imagine he is that good. barisic and gredza on the left, tav and candeias on the right. kent, middleton, murphy fighting for places too. exciting times. going forward - a real force.



28 Aug 2018 13:12:23
Thanks kaz, why do people like u and coldco get off on slagging people and try to g them down, I expect that from tims not fellow blue noses.
I must remember not to form opinions in future.
How many on here would prefer Walker or jones, based on perceived pedigree.



28 Aug 2018 13:13:27
Kazmani Where did I say ejaria was world class. Is that u making up your crap again.



28 Aug 2018 13:15:01
Frustrated blue where is my lie as you refer too, I offered my opinion which I believe I am entitled to do on this site.



28 Aug 2018 16:47:54
Not meaning to fall out btw jboy as I appreciate your posts on here as they are always fair n ba lanced. Just think your wrong this time comparing 2 players by a few mins on YouTube mate.



28 Aug 2018 17:04:14
Gosh won’t fall out fb. U will be on here soon saying what a player.



28 Aug 2018 20:18:16
I may be well and I hope he is. Just canto agree with people saying 3x or 5x the player of others before we see him play. Not on a youtube clip. hope he lights it up tho obviously.



28 Aug 2018 22:00:34
Hold on a minute jboy, I'm not slagging anyone nor do I get off on it. There is nothing wrong with forming an opinion based on video clips, that's upto you👍. I'm saying that 2min video clips does not give you the full picture of a player nor does it give you enough info to state that a player is 5x or whatever better than another player. They only way to make such an informed assessment is to follow croatian or albanian football and with the greatest respect anyone on here that's says that they follow croatian or albanian football is talking shoite👍.



27 Aug 2018 12:59:34
Eros Gredza? Seen a few things on Facebook regarding him coming to us for 3 million euros, what do we think?



27 Aug 2018 13:54:49
Not seen it on rangers news now so a don't believe it.



27 Aug 2018 14:06:23
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 rangers news now is 98% dung info.



27 Aug 2018 14:44:35
Mainstream media now reporting this rumour.

2m Osijek want.



27 Aug 2018 14:53:36
No nothing about him
What position he?



27 Aug 2018 15:15:01
On the wing? The deal will be done on wednesday 😉.



27 Aug 2018 16:00:25
Winger, Albanian International.



27 Aug 2018 16:00:42
Barasic must have recommended him to Gerrard rather than winger who played against us and he was good.



27 Aug 2018 16:30:55
Looks a good signing if it goes through! I feel like this is the kind of leagues we should be taking advantage of, finding their talent and then snapping them up early!



27 Aug 2018 17:34:50
Ive spoken to many a killie fan who think Jones is murder. if this guy is at the same level as Katic and Berasic then he will do for me.



27 Aug 2018 18:03:22
I can't believe somebody on here resurrected the name of Jamie Walker! Absolute mince! As for Jones, seriously, if our scouts can't come up wing a better winger than that, then we have a problem. An average player in an average team going nowhere because he's already at his level.



28 Aug 2018 11:44:35
Just watched a video that 1 of our fans have made on the boy. I know YouTube videos can make anyone look good (mervan Celick), but the thing that caught my eye was, an osijek fan has commented saying, "if you think Barasic is a good player, wait until you see this guy", and he goes on to claim that Grezda is twice the player Borna bear is.



27 Aug 2018 12:58:25
So far, Gerrard has done great Business in transfer dealing but if there are opportunities of enhancing quality and depth that's what we want not quantity!

I'd like to see Joe Worrall or Filip Benkovic both of which we know are quality and will enhance the team and will have our centre backs at least sweating to keep their places!

Never mind Ryan Gauld or Nathan Dyer I don't think their the answer

You have Ryan Gauld, who left a better player than he is now, well he is not as quick now I reckon he probably has enhanced on technical ability but I don't think he is the answer

Nathan Dyer has been out the reckoning for a year or so, it would be hard to believe he would be an instant replacement That's my honest opinion!

I'd like to see Rangers going for the tried and tested Jordan Jones or Sheyi Ojo of Liverpool.



27 Aug 2018 13:14:21
You’re only mentioning Benkovic because the papers have and have linked him with them. Don’t even pretend you knew who he was before Leicester snapped him up. Ryan Gauld is a key, and keys unlock defenses. He doesn’t need to be quick he has to find gaps in a defence that’s his job. Honestly your whole post is centred around speed, wonder what Usian is up to?

Not a clue.



27 Aug 2018 13:32:18
LM1991 Yes I did know him I for one follow continental football and would know a good player when I see one!

If your of the opinion that I am just going for pace your wrong!



27 Aug 2018 13:54:49
No, no you didn’t.



27 Aug 2018 14:30:50
Kaz I like reading your posts, they are usually backed up with an explanation.
But you said “tried and tested Jordan Jones and Sheyi Ojo”

I’m not being a wise guy but where exactly have these 2 guys been “tried and tested”?

Jones is rotten he played with Hartlepool and Cambridge, and I’m not even sure who the other guy is aside from another Liverpool youngster.

Surely if we’re are going to be battling on all fronts we need better than that!



27 Aug 2018 14:32:59
SG has stated categorically that he is not in the running for Gauld - end of that rumour.



27 Aug 2018 15:05:58
Kaz again away for a lie down 😂.



27 Aug 2018 15:06:54
It's all good saying we need better Are we going to splash cash that we don't have guys!

Have you got the cash 87shenderson?

Jordan Jones is tried and tested in our league and we know what we are getting Do you really think he is rotten?

He's a really decent player and affordable at that!



27 Aug 2018 16:20:38
Kaz.

A boy from Liverpool we know nothing about!

A lad from Kilmarnock that couldn’t cut it at Middlesbrough team so went to Hartlepool and Cambridge!

Maybe I’m wrong but that’s not tried and tested! And yes I do think JJ is rotten, his final ball is absolute dug meat and he doesn’t score (6 in 70 odd appearances) . that’s what we’d be getting!

Me. no I don’t have the money but if I did I would blow it on those chaps!



27 Aug 2018 17:36:55
Jordan Jones is rotten compared to Murphy just look at there stats, and I’m not even totally convinced Murphy is good enough for Rangers! Jordan Jones has found his level in Ayrshire let’s leave him there.



27 Aug 2018 18:07:48
Kazmania, the gift that keeps on giving. "I know a player when I see one", then proceeds to sing the praises of Jordan Jones! A fan who actively wishes us to go backwards.



27 Aug 2018 18:08:35
Couldn’t agree more HighlandBear.



27 Aug 2018 19:26:46
@KazMania

There goes the “no cash” comment

2m for a winger.

🤷🏻‍♂️.



28 Aug 2018 22:28:59
Kaz we did sign Lafferty and he scored 2 goals for us at the weekend - you said I was talking she height - your wrong yet again - all the time it was you that was talking she height!



27 Aug 2018 12:49:19
Ryan Gould doing the rounds on a loan to buy. Exact type of player we need, if forsnt work out we're not commited.



29 Aug 2018 08:08:55
LM1991 Usian is actually having a trial with Gold Coast Mariners Football Team.



27 Aug 2018 12:46:24
Rangers are favourites to land Joe Worrall and also looking at Nathan Dyer on a loan deal

Lets hope both materialise 👍🏼

Really important we win today Keep the momentum going

If you were to say, we will win against Motherwell, draw with Ufa and draw with Celtic I would take that!

Gerrard win want a win against all three and that is why I love him

#Letsdoit.



27 Aug 2018 14:38:04
Surely we are only allowed one more loan deal to come in. I would imagine it’ll be Worrall rather than Dyer, unless one is a purchase.



27 Aug 2018 20:58:11
No limit on loans.



27 Aug 2018 09:01:42
Wallace to Hibs this week, watch this space.



27 Aug 2018 10:22:38
Wallace to get new deal.



27 Aug 2018 10:24:30
Source? Honestly can't see this ever happening.



27 Aug 2018 10:57:50
I'd rather he went to Hibs than we gave him a new deal. Barisic is head and shoulders above any other full back at Rangers and, personally, unless he makes a Public Apology to the Club then I don't want Wallace anywhere near Rangers never mind the first team.



27 Aug 2018 11:26:16
Public apology for what tom
Do u know what he did wrong?



27 Aug 2018 11:30:06
The loyalty that man has shown, he deserves a new deal. And in a better team he will be a lot better.



27 Aug 2018 11:32:57
I don’t he’s good cover in place of tired players Wallace stuck by us lower leagues deserves another year or two.



27 Aug 2018 11:59:53
Hope Wallace stays. Excellent cover for Barasic.



27 Aug 2018 12:16:06
Tilla die, it doesn't matter what happened in the dressing room, something clearly happened and Wallace should have accepted his punishment and got on about his business. Personally I reckon he was dragged into things by Miller and it is interesting that since Miller has departed there has been little in the Press about the goings on at the Club and he didn't exactly last long at Livingston!



27 Aug 2018 12:18:24
What is wallace to do a public apology for.



27 Aug 2018 12:49:10
He is no longer at the standard to earn a new contract however, I wish him well.



27 Aug 2018 12:58:18
Tomusa what has he to apologise for.



27 Aug 2018 14:17:30
If we can sell Wallace then i'd sell him, if not then he needs to merit a contract extension by getting in the team and doing well. We shouldn't be rewarding players based on loyalty.



27 Aug 2018 16:09:28
In all the years lee wallace has done nothing wrong but give 100% To rangers fc

New deal should be on the table.



27 Aug 2018 18:11:47
Tryanikian, contracts should always be awarded on ability only, not on sentiment. He's never going to be good enough again to command a regular slot so let him go while we may still be able to attract a fee for him.



27 Aug 2018 19:27:59
No sentiment in football, either he is good enough to command a first team place and take us forward, imo he isn't. As far as an apology is concerned, if he did nothing wrong then why was he fined. He clearly did something! Either that or he was coerced into it by Miller, (and as I have said before, now that Miller has gone so has the info the media) . As far as loyalty was concerned, call me a cynic but who would have paid him the wages he was on at Rangers. I am only interested in Rangers winning, I am not interested in us becoming a home for those reaching the end of their career, we have seen too much of that over the past few years! Still everyone is entitled to their own opinions. I just want better than Wallace!



28 Aug 2018 00:14:33
Wallace will be an excellent cover and an incentive to keep Barisic on his toes. also means the right footed Flanagan can move too his more natural right back positions meaning Tav needs to up his defensive side to his game or lose his place in the team. and yeah I know he’s the captain but teams should always be picked on ability and not sentiment👍🏻 Tbh tho whilst the debate and that’s good chaps I think In all honesty we should be rejoicing at this very moment because we have a management team who know what they’re doing, we have backroom staff we can trust and sorry to say it but as usual the board have came up with the goods to fund this revolution and we are 1 centre half away from having our best squad in a long, LONG time. let’s leave the bickering to the mhankies huh.



26 Aug 2018 22:35:02
Just thinking Bears, maybe the change in formation was a mistake? It clearly affected the defence, conceding 3 goals. Also, I'm not sure that Morelos and Lafferty should both start together, especially in the upcoming two games this week. For the game at the piggery, I'd start Morelos and keep Lafferty on the bench as we'll need to tighten up again. I do hope Couibaly is back this week and Arfield maybe should have started today. Still unbeaten though and who said we'd win every game!



27 Aug 2018 00:39:55
Trouble with today's system was we had two sitting midfielders in Jack and halliday, SG went for dig and strength, when really we should have stuck to our high pressing 4321.



27 Aug 2018 02:36:35
Na this is the formation going forward. Just need to teach tavernier how to track a runner and we should be fine.



27 Aug 2018 06:07:02
Listening to SG post match interview and I've a feeling this is now going to be our formation - I'm not convinced tbh.



27 Aug 2018 06:19:49
Formation was not the problem for any of their goals. Was Tavs crap defending at set plays and a very bad piece of bad luck.



27 Aug 2018 06:27:10
Rfc Chris the formation is fin yes. IMO tavernier can't be taught to track runners he's had about 5 managers at rangers now and they couldn't teach him.



27 Aug 2018 07:43:45
I don’t think it was the formation. It was bad defending by tav and to be honest when he took Barasic off and went 442 that’s when we lost control of the game. We live and learn. Good thing we’re going to get 3 points next Sunday. Still fully confident we can beat that mob.



27 Aug 2018 08:05:31
Of it was! We’ve been solid with a back 4 all season but in saying that if you can’t defend set pieces you get punished.



27 Aug 2018 08:10:36
as a defender defending against set pieces if you haven't got the desire to get to the ball before the man your marking you will get found out time and time again which has is happening to tav some of our best ever defenders butcher gough amoruso they had pure desire to win that ball you can't coach desire so unless tav finds it from somewhere which i think is doubtful he’ll always get found out.



27 Aug 2018 08:47:48
Wouldn’t blame the formation for losing 2 goals at set plays and a slip. We still scored 3. Looked weak on the left when barisic went off for Middleton. The last 20 minutes in some of our games are becoming really stressful but still a work in progress. Back the team and manager lads because it will be bumpy at times.



27 Aug 2018 09:00:58
Defo start big laff gainst the filth
He frightens the rubbish outa them.



27 Aug 2018 09:47:09
Spot on colshygers. You can have all the talent in the world, but if you don't have the real desire within you, you will certainly get found out every time. ONWARDS AND UPWARDS THE FAMOUS.



27 Aug 2018 10:28:11
Jzer - The high press will only work if it's against a team that want to play football, Motherwell's tactic was going long to their 2 strikers everytime.



27 Aug 2018 10:44:21
Let’s face it guys, we played a rugby team yesterday. No all our games are going to be like that, the part I’m most frustrated with is the fact second half we got sucked into playing their game, launching long balls running channels. If we had just looked after the ball better and played the same as the first half we would have been fine. Think the ref let their boys away with too many niggly fouls before producing cards meaning the same guys got 3/ 4 fouls each before the ball started rolling. Goldson slipped can’t do nothing about that but Tav was naive, I coach my little brothers team and i can tell you now if any of them got caught twice like that they would be dropped it’s embarrassing for a pro player to not be able to follow a man. He HAS to learn, seeing a lot of calls for him to play midfield, sorry guys but even in midfield he will still need to defend from a corner so that doesn’t solve our problem.

Just a side note, absolute state of the league btw that’s aberdeen and now Motherwell celebrated last minute equalisers against us like they’ve won the champs league, embarrassing tinpot clubs the lot of them.



27 Aug 2018 11:05:07
That formation would have worked with a quality centre back in alongside our two regular centre backs but in any event you cannot legislate for someone slipping when they are well in control of the situation. If we had got off to a better start then it would have been a different game although our players would still have been nudged, kicked, and generally roughed up, since that is Motherwell's game! Tavernier is superb going forward but defensively he is weak and this was proved again yesterday. While Halliday was on the Park our midfield was doing well, Arfield's introduction at Halliday's expense proved a mistake since he was anonymous from when he came on until the final whistle. Taking off Barisic, who was well in control at left back and replacing him with young Middleton was also a mistake since it allowed Motherwell to attack down both flanks and if the idea was to used Middleton's speed then you play the ball to him on the ground, not up in the air. That just played into their tactics. As for the Wallace substitution fundamentally wrong given the timing, especially for a guy who hasn't played a competitive game for the best part of a year!



27 Aug 2018 12:58:59
All 3 substitutions were poor.

Assume Halliday taken off as was on booking and narrowly escaped second yellow card before being taken off. Airfield as replacement added nothing.

Not clear why Barasic taken off unless he was injured. Middleton added nothing although to be fair to the boy he never once received the ball.

Timing of Wallace substitution was crazy and if SG thoughy we would benefit from his height I should have been brought on earlier rather than Middleton or Arfield.

Why was McCrowrie not on the bench and brought on,



27 Aug 2018 14:54:44
Suspension.
