apparently, Dom Ball signing again!



01 Jun 2016 09:41:40
good badly missed him in cupfinal, get him at CB with Matt Crooks, with Barton and Rossie infront of them, that a solid spine, if we signed him it would be a coup !



01 Jun 2016 10:12:49
hope that's true good player we missed him in the final big time.

Favourites as well as celtic to sign Danny Graham out of contract in the summer, can see it happening but don't know whether we'll end up doing it.



31 May 2016 22:16:20
Hope he goes to celtic.



31 May 2016 22:25:59
Don't want him. Greg Stewart would be a better option.



01 Jun 2016 06:47:38
Don't particularly want Danny Graham but to suggest Greg Stewart is a better option is just Ridiculous if he was that good he'd be playing in the premier league or championship too.



01 Jun 2016 09:08:33
If Graham comes to Scotland it will be Celtic given his links to Rogers but surely with our backroom staff we can find a much superior player for the striker role although I have a feeling that the Warburton plan will be to play with attacking midfield players that can score goals. Personally I would like us to sign a proven goalscorer that is recommended by McParland or by Laudrup, Mols or Amoruso.



01 Jun 2016 09:43:36
I think he will be Selik Bound. not sure he is the cental striker that we need.

See that Selik also favourits for Fletcher, they could well end up with Griff, Fletch and Graham next year, that is no a bad strike force, but Magic Hat will have better tricks up his sleeve am sure of it!

01 Jun 2016 10:52:30
Fletcher definitely not going to Celtic. I heard from a family member of Fletcher he is either Bournemouth or West Brom bound.



01 Jun 2016 12:29:32
Celtic can have Graham and Fletcher in my opinion. Fletcher has an awful scoring record every where he's been since leaving hibs and Graham is getting on a bit and isn't a mobile striker that will work hard.



01 Jun 2016 16:53:03
Fletcher is as good as a fathers day card for an orphan, his goal ratio is absolutely dire, Grahams exactly the same albeit a better player who is good at holding up ball.
Grifiths is decent but Boyd managed similar goalscoring feat in SPFL that included Both old firm teams, Hibs and St Mirren so Griffiths has had 12 games against inferior sides and we all know what happened to Boyd.
Griffiths was focal point of a 1 man strike force and I guarantee he won't score more than 30 if even close next season.
I for 1 don't fear that 3 as a strike force.
Anyway Warbs has already assembled a great squad last season and the midfielders he has added so far to add to that are class. Once he completes defence, adds a winger and another Striker and possible GK we will have great chance to win title.
Leicester won league with no European football, Liverpool almost the same so I think it might be a blessing in disguise that we can fully concentrate on bringing our title back. 🔴⚪️🔵🏆.



31 May 2016 20:39:58
Grant Hanley has agreed to join, not sure how I feel about this 🤔.



31 May 2016 22:18:17
Feel great about it.



31 May 2016 22:53:23
Not sure about the guy that puts in the most tackles near enough every season and gives 100%? Nah I'm not sure either. He'd be a good signing for us.



31 May 2016 23:17:13
He is absolutely rank rotten as a Scotland fan I dread seeing hos name on the teamsheet ridiculously rash in the challenge, slow as mud and terrible with the ball at his feet. A total liability IMO! As a Celtic fan all the best hope you sign him up.



31 May 2016 23:35:16
Hanley coming to Rangers? Get a grip of yourselves. So we have outbid Fulham at approx 2 million and are going to match or better his 28k a week wages. Not a chance. If he does sign I'll post a full apology to all folk who said it would happen.



01 Jun 2016 08:23:53
I'd love to see him in a Rangers Jersey, but this won't happen. He is one of the best and most consistent defenders in the championship and aged 24 is the captain of Rovers. I really don't understand why people keep going on about speed for defenders. You don't buy a winger for his tackling ability or aerial presence. I don't remember a 40year old Davie Weir being quick!?



01 Jun 2016 09:11:28
A player of limited football ability but maybe that is what we need to compliment one of our existing centre backs. That said he wouldn't be my first choice, I'd rather see Bougherra back than him.

Are there no decent quality English, German or Italian centre backs available that have a bit of football ability?



01 Jun 2016 09:45:24
Get big bougie back in our team please!



01 Jun 2016 10:04:59
Listen our problem previously is trying 2 play 2 much football at the back. Hanley is a no nonsense hard defender and will be a great signing if we can afford him. I welcome him with open arms. It's what we are missing if I'm honest. Wilson and kiernan are 2 nice.



01 Jun 2016 09:45:24

01 Jun 2016 13:10:20
agree with a no nonsense defender . Sunderland signed Kone and he has made a huge difference to them. we have strike a balance between playing nice attractive football And being able to defend. Like attacking the ball when facing corners . 3 goals in cup final spring to mind.



01 Jun 2016 22:20:55
Leicester have 2 average but very competent centre backs who just defend, no Beckenbauer quality but they do a great job. Its a no nonsense guy we need and Hanley is fine at being just that.
I will be happy if he signs can see a £1m bid being enough with £10k plus incentives.



31 May 2016 20:47:15
Jon Stead being linked with a move to Scotland, target for us do you think?



31 May 2016 21:34:34
Is that the guy from the tv series The Avengers lol.
Couldn't resist.



31 May 2016 21:40:22
Not good enough and to old need better quality nahki wells would be the answer.



31 May 2016 21:57:41
Hope not.



31 May 2016 19:05:10
Can we cut the my source BS by people who post on this site and just openly guess and speculate on media articles related to Rangers.

Anyways, my source (general feeling and hope) that we sign Ball, but i feel this could be a tight one depending on Spurs transfer ambitions and successful activities could ultimately determine if Ball will be a Rangers player.



31 May 2016 20:10:46
To be honest Ball is a few years off being a regular spurs player if he continues to develop the way we hope so I think signing him on a permanent basis is deffinetly a possibility even with a buy back clause. He would be a great signing for us and if we can land big Hanley aswell our defence will deffinetly be stronger.



31 May 2016 23:17:28
forzaRFC your source seems the most reliable so far.



01 Jun 2016 09:47:28
a hope FORZA is correct, ball would be a real capture if we can get him back, think perm signing with spurs first option buy back or spurs with 20-30% sell on clause sounds likely!

31 May 2016 14:36:50
Heard we could be in for Chris Burke think he's a free agent and any news on boy Bentley keeper from Southend has great potential, what's your thoughts people.



31 May 2016 19:13:35
What is it with linking us with ex-players who were poor even at their prime. No No no.



31 May 2016 18:29:51
Magiichat1690 i aagree on the keeper but not on burke.



31 May 2016 19:30:46
Burke seriously who's making this up?



31 May 2016 19:37:00
Better aff with CATHY BURKE! Come on lads some of the stuff on here tonight is comedy genius!



31 May 2016 20:26:28
Conner12345 a better source than the guy that told you Adam Rooney and Johnny Hayes will sign in 2015 lol just been told he's back in Glasgow with talks about moving to Scotland.



31 May 2016 20:22:10
not keen on him myself mate but we need more experience and we need two more wingers a striker a keeper n a solid centre half, heard Steven fletcher is on a free wouldn't mind him, some of use are deluded but what kind of money do you think we have be realistic, has our good friend Dave King invested yet or has the other board memembers coughed up am sorry to say this we could be dealing with another mr green.



01 Jun 2016 09:13:38
Bringing back Burke would send out all the wrong signals. A massive step backwards with a mediocre player. There has to be better players about!



01 Jun 2016 10:36:02
ha ha ehhh naw.



31 May 2016 16:54:34
Only a rumour till the stories actually broke, but I've been told off of a really reliable source, that Dom ball has signed a 2 year contract, I'm saying reliable, but reliable to me, lol but they've asured me it's a done deal, let's hope this is true, what a player that guy is, welcome home Dom ball.



31 May 2016 17:44:27
If Dom ball was to sign it will be at least 4 yr deal, so let's wait and see if your source is correct.



31 May 2016 17:57:37
Hope so we really missed him in the final,



31 May 2016 19:00:04
Hope this is true but cant see if due to the fact you said 2 year deal he has a fantastic future ahead and I'm sure he is still contracted to Spurs so have we met a transfer fee agreement? And if so how much?



31 May 2016 19:52:10
According to Transfermarkt he is under contract at Spurs until 30th June 2016. Have they made him an offer to extend his contract?



31 May 2016 20:00:17
I genuinely think he will be back next year but this is just optimistic speculation to put it kindly.



31 May 2016 21:46:57
I don't get this with Dom Ball. Our centre halves were hopeless this season and he still couldn't get a game. He's slower than Danny Wilson and I've not seen him having a good game. I also don't think Warbs rates him. It's a non starter.



31 May 2016 19:31:54
2 year deal not 4 his source is right so unlucky haha.



31 May 2016 20:49:59
Barrie mckays new contract is only 2 years due to his age, so could be, I know MW said it's all about making sure players are motivated to earn better contracts.



01 Jun 2016 09:50:27
Wull63 are u smoking the waky baky, u never seen Dom Ball play a good game, right yar mate! clearly u either never watch rangers last year or your a tim or your on another planet!



01 Jun 2016 09:50:27

01 Jun 2016 03:41:25
We seem to be believing all our players from last season are brilliant. ? And even ones who played here fir 10 mins like Weiss and bouggie are world class, none of them played for major clubs, how are they all great all of a sudden. ? And Ball is very ordinary
Tommy.



01 Jun 2016 12:23:44
look at what I said, he couldn't displace Wilson who has no pace and Kiernan whose a bomb scare. I don't like having a go at honest pros but that's the facts.
Warbs just didn't rate him hence hardly played him. He won't be anywhere near Ibrox again.



31 May 2016 12:44:27
Rangers interested in Plymouth defender Curtis Nelson he is there captain ment to be very good player.



31 May 2016 13:24:12
Was awful against Wimbledon.



31 May 2016 14:09:33
Had a bad game, must be a terrible player then.



31 May 2016 14:42:16
can honestly say I've not seen enough of him to judge but if mw wants him is trust in his judgement as he is a far smarter man than me.



31 May 2016 12:27:17
I've heard about this rumour too, The Dani Osvaldo one, He's got a new agent who is none other than Gabi amato.



31 May 2016 13:50:46
If people think Cummings is bad this guy is on another level! His contract just ripped up by Boca for smoking in he changing room and is universally thought of as a massive bell-end! If MW signs this guy he's officially lost his mind!



31 May 2016 14:43:42
is he a good player though? because personlities can be put in check.



31 May 2016 18:56:02
Just to put things in perspective, Russell Latapy smoked 40 a day. Just saying :)



31 May 2016 19:16:36
Pretty irrelevant point to be honest! Even if he did, which I highly doubt, he didn't do it in the dressing room did he? I don't care that he smokes it's the manner in which he acts that is the issue.



31 May 2016 19:08:36
Take it from a Southampton fan Osvaldo is a nightmare we lost millions. Punched the captain and did nothing on the pitch Barton's personality can be controlled Osvaldo's can't waste of space.



31 May 2016 19:24:23
He was an Italian international, assuming he still isn't, which suggests he has quality. However, never seems to have an impact on the football team and is just expensive bad-press imo. I honestly don't remember seeing him play.



31 May 2016 20:54:27
Guy was being linked to Inter whilst at Southampton. clearly he has something but his attitude let's him down.



31 May 2016 21:39:36
osvaldo would be a good signing, has scored goals in the past when given the chance and could do it again.



31 May 2016 23:27:46
RCFinfinity, he got sacked off Boca as he walked into the changing room after a game and sparked a fag! In the team changing room. So pretty relevant. The reason he left Southampton was after he beat up someone (I think Fonte but may be incorrect) and then while getting restrained started on the coaching staff! He's an absolute nutcase.



31 May 2016 20:52:52
Smoking's not a problem to a pro-athlete. Just don't do it in the changing room.



31 May 2016 11:18:13
Never post here, but hearing Rangers are making an audacious offer to Dani Osvaldo.

Make of it what you will.



31 May 2016 11:55:17
Would be astonished if we could pull that one off, where are you hearing this?



31 May 2016 11:55:57
Aye right ye are.



31 May 2016 12:19:05
This might not be such a bad shout, he's jus been released from Boca Juniors.



31 May 2016 12:28:26
Gabi amato is his agent.



31 May 2016 12:31:33
I can't see this happening. He is a good player but his career is littered with fall outs with fellow players, coaches etc. He just doesn't come over as a Warburton type player!



31 May 2016 13:52:51
He was sacked from Boca for smoking in the changing rooms! Not a chance in hell!



31 May 2016 12:25:56
Would be a coup, was on loan from the EPL at juventus and inter. Before the switch to boca.



31 May 2016 12:44:40
Tom42, joey barton?



31 May 2016 13:20:17
He likes a good cigar though.



31 May 2016 19:06:29
If we are signing characters like Barton then I believe we would be willing to sign Osvaldo if it was a possibility. Guy is no saint but he has undoubtedly got talent.

Look at it this way, If I had to choose players in their prime, today, between El Hadji Diouf, Lafferty, Osvaldo, I'd take Osvaldo all day long.

El Hadji Diouf may have possessed the most talent once upon a time but the guy was the moral equivalent of a re-used tampon. Osvaldo is just a guy with a nasty streak but he is not on the same dirt bag level as what Diouf was.



31 May 2016 21:41:41
so he had a cigareette? plenty footballers have done worse and got away with it. ashley cole shot someone.
