Rangers are eyeing a late move for George Thomas of Coventry City, from sources close to the club.

Thomas is out of contract at Coventry after seeing out his deal at the Ricoh Arena.



03 Jul 2017 18:29:56
looks a good player. couple youtube vids on him. would be a god signing for the future at 20 years old.



04 Jul 2017 03:59:33
Why is it a late move? The window doesn't shut till end of August.



04 Jul 2017 11:12:28
Upto 8 big teams from down south interested in the young boy including premiership clubs. Leicester City apparently put in a £500,000 bid, quite possible he'll go there as he's a local boy.



04 Jul 2017 17:17:52
A lot of clubs looking at him so doubt it will happen.



03 Jul 2017 11:41:02
Hearing that the Fee for Dorrans has been agreed and it is actually under the £1mil mark, close to half the £1.5mil being touted by a few papers. Few loose ends to be dealt with before it's a done deal though.



03 Jul 2017 12:12:26
Rangers Observer Reporting it, which if they are reporting normally means it is a banker.



03 Jul 2017 13:33:10
Seen that, its in the bag 💼- finally. But I have to say 750K is fantastic bit business, a complete steal.
More good business by the board, well done 👍



03 Jul 2017 14:00:06
He wanted to come home Norwich didn't want an unhappy player, just hope that doesn't mean the Barjonas deal is also imminent



03 Jul 2017 14:58:49
Fantastic business getting him for 750k but not fantastic business letting mackay go for 750k if this is case then a hope our board have inserted a sell on percentage of between 20 30 percent with add ons



03 Jul 2017 15:13:49
Mackay knocked back a new deal and has shown he doesn't want to play for us. We are glasgow rangers the team of Davie Cooper, Jim baxter, Willie Henderson, John greig and sandy Jardine, mackay is not anywhere near being able to be spoken in the same breath as them yet thinks he is some kind of superstar. Bin him 20/ 30 years ago he wouldn't have made a reserve side



03 Jul 2017 17:16:28
When you consider the quality wingers that Rangers have had in the past McKay doesn't warrant a mention. Scott, Henderson, Wilson, Cooper, Tommy McLean, Neil McCann, Willie Johnston, McKay couldn't lace their boots!



03 Jul 2017 17:17:23
He would have been in the team in the early 80s. we were mince then. Gordon Dalziel John Mcdonald Sandy Clark Craig Patterson.20 stone DJ back from England. Four or 5 legends way past their best.37 yo Girvan Lighthouse in goals. and Coops never playing 2 decent games on the trot. worst Gers side i ever saw in the top flight. Even worse than last seasons efforts.



03 Jul 2017 18:02:56
Laudrup wasn't mentioned in that list Tomusa? He's the best of the lot



03 Jul 2017 20:01:59
Laudrup was good but no Davie Cooper he never buggered off for cash, he was a man who thought clydebank was too far from Hamilton



03 Jul 2017 21:40:50
Hi Kazmania82, I was just referring to the Scottish players but if you widen the scope then Laudrup would most certainly be up there as I suspect would others. I just don't rate McKay unfortunately. I think he has ability but he clearly has an attitude problem, he doesn't appear to like hard work, he is lazy, he doesn't't like taking a tackle or making a tackle and he doesn't track back. Seems perfect for Warburton and his pretty football with no end result. It is unfortunate because with the right coach and the right commitment I reckon McKay could progress but he seems to have made his mind up that he wants to leave. I guess we are too big a club for him!



03 Jul 2017 21:59:26
Davie Cooper thought Motherwell was too far from Hamilton. What a player tho he was. Still remember dryborough cup goal as was yesterday.



04 Jul 2017 13:38:18
Nope, Observer (whoever that is) is wrong. It's 1.5M.



03 Jul 2017 17:03:21
gary75 and TOMUSA, What has players of the past got to do with how much McKay is worth?

That is like saying, Wallace shouldn't be captain because he isn't as good as Robertson or Numan.



05 Jul 2017 00:38:23
JFC, I wasn't talking about worth in cash terms, I was talking about quality and he just doesn't compare to any of those mentioned. Incidentally, neither does Wallace when you compare his to previous captains. He is not and never will be a leader, he isn't even a very good fullback!



03 Jul 2017 10:08:32
Deal for Dorrans on the brink of being completed according to DR. let's get Walker in now too but I hope we hold on to Mackay.



03 Jul 2017 10:26:12
if we are only getting the reported 750k for baz i would rather keep him!



03 Jul 2017 11:12:41
Why keep a guy who in 5 months can leave for a development fee? Take the 750k, put in a release clause and go from there.



03 Jul 2017 11:56:31
he signed a 3 year contract did he not last year?



03 Jul 2017 14:01:55
No FIFA Guy that's the problem he refused it him and his agent want wages that he simply has not deserved with recent performances he thinks he's entitled to wages on par with the high end performers take the 750k and replace with Walker who wants to be at Ibrox



03 Jul 2017 10:06:33
McKay off to Forrest for £500k doing rounds on Twitter. If true Forrest have bought McKay and Cummings for combined



03 Jul 2017 10:48:47
McKay shouldn't go for less than 1mill. Especially to the inflated English leagues



03 Jul 2017 14:02:27
Warburton is a penny pincher



03 Jul 2017 17:18:14
I still hope he goes to Cardiff. He will go backwards under Warburton and Weir. First hard tackle and he will go into hiding!



03 Jul 2017 18:01:00
Says more about Warburton, . The only one he comes in for is one he didn't bring in!



04 Jul 2017 00:17:08
Yet he is the only one who gave him a chance (says as much)! As mentioned prior, Walker of Hearts IS a better player and would be a cracking signing. If Warbs wants to take McKay he is much more than welcome imo. I think some folk out there want to believe he is going to mature in to something special and I just cannot understand 'most' of the praise he's received. Admittedly he has some technical ability and pace, although this coincides with no tackling ability, no stature, a poor attitude it seems and generally just being mediocre. The lads 22 and would've been more than happy to keep him as a squad player prior to recent negotiations being knocked back. The boy's 22 who played one half decent season for a piss poor Gers side in the Scottish 2nd tier. That is all.! £750k? I do think he's worth 1m but if it means getting in Walker as replacement? If bite Warbs hand off!



04 Jul 2017 16:59:42
McKay has a year to go so best taking the cash! funny that our fans complain when hearts and Aberdeen want 1millon for McLean and walker but when we say that's to much as there in the last year of there contracts!
And I would take the 2 over mckay the boy is so inconsistent 1 decent game every half dozen



02 Jul 2017 23:10:54
Cardiff and Forrest are both interested in signing Barrie McKay.



03 Jul 2017 02:53:58
Dunoonbluebear posted on here last week saying he spoke to Neil Warnock in a resturaunt and he was saying he might take a punt on McKay, and he got laughed at for it. Now the Sun's reporting that Warnock wants him at Cardiff. Either the Sun get their stories from here, or there could've been some truth in what dunoon said.



03 Jul 2017 08:43:26
Let McKay go for 750k and attempt to get atleast 20% sell on clause. Settle for 10%.



03 Jul 2017 09:29:46
Lol I did tell you's guys that I spoke to Neil Warnock and that he was interested mckay and as rfc said I was laughed at. I'm just glad I've been proved right now. I feel smug Haha 😂



03 Jul 2017 09:30:28
i think if we got 500K for mckay we'll be doing well i would add a sell on clause but i can't see him making any kind of impact down south i for one won't miss him that boy shows no desire to play in our jersey and is a passenger we don't need just now but we also must use the cash to get walker because on first impressions dalcio isn't the answer



03 Jul 2017 09:43:01
That goal against celtic was superb but it was a long long time ago



03 Jul 2017 10:05:08
i've read reports we are only asking 750k for BM

surely he's worth more than that given the money in
that division especially as it's warburton that's in for him we shd be asking a million + at least for all the dross he left us we can't shift!

seriously though i think we shd be asking for more for him or at very least have a large sell on clause included in case he gets a big move



03 Jul 2017 10:08:10
Totally agree colshygers, he boy has bags of ability but if yer attitude isn't right then you're a passenger. Walker on the other hand puts in graft and has better end product and physicality. Wonder if the jamtarts fancy a straight swap



03 Jul 2017 10:25:19
I can see McKay leaving but part of can't help but think it's a wee bit of mind games to see if he really wants to stay.
This happened with McCoist years ago with Jock Wallace (funny enough I think the team in for him was Cardiff again) and it turns out well for us back then.

Just a thought anyway

I personally would like to see him stay but he needs to be 100% committed



03 Jul 2017 10:32:11
If Pedro prefers Dalcio to Mckay I'm worried. I know it was his first game and nerves obviously played a factor but he was terrible Thursday night.

Candeis on the other hand looks very quick and industrious, can see him becoming a real hit with his workrate and effort.

I would still keep Mckay, on his day he's unplayable. It's the managers Job to get the best out of players like Mckay. I get the impression Pedro isn't interested though, which is his perogative I suppose. This time 6 months ago Mckay was great, no we've got fans coming on questioning his ability, dedication and character. Couldn't make it up!



03 Jul 2017 10:34:22
El Minto - 11 months left on his contract, take the 750k add on a sell on clause and we are sorted.



03 Jul 2017 10:46:49
Would rather see McKay Stay one of very few players with that extra quality. Agreed was a passenger at times but would like to see him along side some of the new players and see how he goes.



03 Jul 2017 11:14:31
Mckay isn't interested in staying, it isn't like he is being forced out the door, he wants to go. Dalcio looks a better player than Mckay.



03 Jul 2017 12:17:06
He is being forced out the door though, Look Pedro Doesn't rate him so end of, therefore being made to train with the under 20s tells me he is being forced out the door, and could be a massive mistake IMO.



03 Jul 2017 12:39:34
He has 11 months on his contract and is refusing to sign an extension, let him go as he clearly wants too. "but he has potential" potential he has been showing for 2 seasons now but isn't consistent at all. Cash in on him before he goes for nothing.



03 Jul 2017 13:05:01
Mckay is a much better player than Dalcio. Nas on full throttle would have skinned the right full back last Thursday.



03 Jul 2017 13:00:32
I believed dunoon at the time, good on you.



03 Jul 2017 14:04:22
Your right if Candeias is everything you want in a winger does he have a left footed twin?



03 Jul 2017 14:25:20
Onlyshowaround. Dalcio looks a better player than McKay!?
You my friend are having a laugh. Seen Dalcio for 90mins on Thursday night and that was long enough. If you think he's better than McKay after that then you seriously need to have a word with yourself.



03 Jul 2017 15:59:26
fair do's onlyshow - last yr of his contract so if 750k is all that's on the table i'd take it but if 2 clubs in for him we cld play them off against one another and try and up the price through a bidding war (as agents love) bigger cut for all parties

we must try and get a sell on clause in there tho just in case

hearts shd also take note - as walkers in almost exactly same situ and they are holding out for a mil when he's in last yr of his contract - let them wait i say

if window closes come jan they will sell and it won't be anything near a mil - prob half



03 Jul 2017 16:13:36
Lee_mcf, Dalcio was poor against progres and still looked more exciting than McKay has in the past 12 months.



03 Jul 2017 17:02:09
Dalcio reminded me if Oz winger Ally McCoist signed early in his reign. Looks neat and tidy but never a threat. Would keep Baz all day long. Pedro could have and should have turned this around.



03 Jul 2017 23:58:26
Barrie McKay is not physically strong enough is no where near good enough for the English championship if we can get £750K for him I'd accept it,
