Aphe, I read an article saying the owners wouldn't spend big this summer after laying out the money this season especially if they didn't see any return. Do yiu thinkbthsts likely? Imo we should look to sell Raskin and Dio and reinvest thst.
09 Mar 2026 16:21:11
Sell Raskin, Diomande, Chermiti, Gassama and Bajrami.
Surely, get a few quid for that lot.
09 Mar 2026 16:25:42
Onewalter, I wouldn't believe articles, my friend. They have rarely been correct in the past.
Remember, articles suggested the purchase of the club was off.
09 Mar 2026 17:12:39
Why in the world would we sell Raskin or Chermiti, AllyMc62? Raskin finally looks like a Rangers player and will hopefully extend. If not, then sell. Chermiti is going to be an absolute star. We are lucky to have him, and if we keep him, I can see him being the biggest sale in our history. Why would anyone be keen to sell him? Honestly, our fans absolutely baffle me.
We don't have many who we would get money for.
Bajrami showing a fake fight after the game was cringe. He's shown none of it since he arrived. Get rid. Gassama is too terrible. Diomande can improve, imo. Plenty of other fringe players we can offload, but doubt for much money.
We can definitely save ourselves £8m by not buying Olsen. Overvalued at that by about £9m.
I'd pay treble on my season ticket if we offered mega and got Moore permanently.
09 Mar 2026 17:21:28
Raskin, imo, almost certain to leave this season, and Diomande would sell also. Tav gone. I think Fernandez will be away for decent money also. And, yeah, move Chermiti on. Pretty much bang on, Ally. Aasgaard and Antman also. Matondo out if contract, thank god.
09 Mar 2026 17:26:51
Raskin hasn't kicked a ball all season, and is saving himself for the World Cup, whilst Chermiti will not get us the goals needed. I'd sell both if the money was right. I'd expect 10m for Raskin and 10/12m for Chermiti. We could buy 4 or 5 quality players for that money.
09 Mar 2026 17:37:12
Raskin already away in his head anyway.
09 Mar 2026 17:41:43
Yeah, I don't think I'd buy Skov Olsen either, not at that price.
I'd absolutely 1 million percent prefer Curtis on the right than Olsen.
09 Mar 2026 17:55:56
I'm sorry, Stevie, I know you don't rate Skog Olsen and that is fair, but I don't believe Curtis has shown enough to be a starter yet either.
Sko Olsen has more goal contributions in the premiership than Curtis in less than half the matches.
Now I do believe Curtis can be an outstanding player for Rangers, but let the boy develop rather than placing the irrational weight of the world on his shoulders.
09 Mar 2026 18:05:22
Skov Olsen is today's version of Mel Sterland. Mel's contribution was 99 games and 3 goals scored.
09 Mar 2026 18:16:37
Ted's 4 goal contributions in 8 matches blow that away, but feel free to not add anything meaningful to the discussion.
09 Mar 2026 18:41:00
Aph
I am allowed an opinion, and mine is (and I'm not alone) that, so far, Skov Olsen's contribution has been nowhere near value for money.
09 Mar 2026 18:47:27
Why don't you engage in an educated discussion with your opinion rather than a poor joke, with irrelevant stats, just to have a dig at a Rangers player.
09 Mar 2026 18:53:50
Aphe, I think he's a talented player. But he's not showing it or doing it for me.
The thing is, mate, we can't sign him based on what he did 4 or 5 years ago. We will decide by what he does currently, and for me there's no way he's worth £8m to us. Just no way in hell.
Talent yes. Showing it, no.
09 Mar 2026 19:00:34
We won't be signing him, Stevie. 99% on here can see that. 👍
09 Mar 2026 19:01:47
And you can add Aasgaard, Antman and Miovski to that list. Also, if we don't take up the option on Skov Olsen, that will be more money available.
09 Mar 2026 19:06:31
Stevie, I agree he is not at the level he should be showing, my friend.
I would, however, disagree entirely with your assessment.
We are not talking about someone who was good 4/5 years ago.
We are talking about someone who was in the form of his life just over 1 year ago, earning him a move to Wolfsburg.
Granted, this has not worked out, and his confidence is a mess, but I truly believe he is a risk worth taking.
09 Mar 2026 19:06:42
I wonder if other clubs have the same amount of fans who really don't have an idea about the club. They seem to think we should sack the manager, clear out players and start again! If Rohl hadn't taken over, where would we be? We were by far the better team yesterday; the stats prove that.
The failure was not scoring both in time, and missing penalties, players' fault, not managers!!
09 Mar 2026 19:51:38
As someone who watched a lot of Skov in Denmark and the start of his Belgian career, and really, really liked him, I thought he would definitely solve our right wing problem. I've got to put my hand up and say I was wrong. The player I'm seeing for Rangers looks nowhere near the player I saw, and, thinking about it more, he didn't really deliver in pressure moments for Denmark either, so I'm now questioning if he is one of the players that don't have the mentality to play for Rangers.
And as for the rest of the squad, not investing would be madness when you consider.
Meghoma's loan ends.
Djiga's loan ends.
Cornielious' loan ends.
Aarons' loan ends.
Skov's loan ends.
Moore's loan ends.
Tav's out of contract.
Matondo out of contract, finally get rid of high wage.
That's eight players lost from the squad.
And then we come to players that should or need to be sold.
Diomande does not offer enough over a season, sell.
Raskin, sell after WC, hopefully generate an inflated fee.
Aasgaard, if not trusted off the bench, even then needs sold.
Bajrami, decision should have already been made, sell.
Antman just appears to be not good enough and injured, sell.
Sterling great but never fit, sell, need someone reliably fit.
Gassama, bite hand off if we get a decent offer, sell.
Miovski clearly not fitting, sell or loan to sheep.
Bailey Rice out of contract.
Fernandez, big teams circling, big fee reinvest, would like to keep another season if we can get him regular games for Nigeria, fingers crossed.
That's another 10 who could go. For me, looking at 18 players total, I know it's not a realistic target, but that, for me, is the size of the job and why Danny should get a reprieve and start next season.
09 Mar 2026 19:54:33
Fair enough, Aphe. I know u want him and back him. I would only sign based on his loan performances here, not his past.
For me, Cerny is a far better player.
09 Mar 2026 20:04:02
Mel Sterland only played 9 league games for us, however, he got a league medal (and, frustratingly, my scarf, as they did their end-of-season lap of honour).
Skov Olsen has until the end of the season to prove his worth (or not).
09 Mar 2026 20:05:27
Mel Sterland played for Rangers. For me, 12 games, two goals, and he was a right back.
09 Mar 2026 20:06:24
Stevie, I am not comparing players.
Cerny got judged after 50+ games, and never wanted to sign permanently for Rangers.
He also started terribly in the same number of games Skov Olsen has had.
I remember people saying they would take him back to Wolfsburg, personally.
Skov Olsen has had 8 matches and played the equivalent minutes of 5.
09 Mar 2026 20:41:18
Aphelion, a small question, if you don't mind, pal. 🤔 Do you rate/think Andreas Skov Olsen is a better right winger than Vaclav Cerny? 🤔
09 Mar 2026 20:59:03
SWS, they are 2 totally different wingers who are better than each other in their preferred roles.
09 Mar 2026 21:03:41
Scales was on a booking fairly early on, and not once did Olsen commit him or run at him. Any good winger would have had that donkey on toast, even if he couldn't beat him. Where was the movement in behind him to make him defend and tackle.
09 Mar 2026 21:14:45
2 assists and 1 goal in 8 games. He's still got a few months before the decision will be made, but on the evidence so far, he won't be signed and we shouldn't even be thinking about that.
09 Mar 2026 21:30:53
If we were to have Olsen here next season, it would need to be another loan deal, with him getting a full pre-season, etc., then see what he can do. To splurge 9m on the guy would be completely irresponsible.
