Rangers Rumours

18 Jan 2022 17:14:49
Any news on Rory Wilson just wondering thanks.

18 Jan 2022 17:27:02
Downie all very quite re Wilson

On an aside I see post on rangers Twitter from Romania that hagi to get contract extension to 2026. Seems a wee bit long.

18 Jan 2022 17:46:12
I would have zero complaints if it was Kent or Aribo so I would take that risk for Hagi John.

18 Jan 2022 18:02:31
Big fan of Hagi. don't think he gets the credit he deserves at times. I'd be delighted to hear he's extended his deal.

18 Jan 2022 09:42:14
I work down in London and I have been told that David Moyes is still very keen to take Kai Kennedy to West Ham as he believes Kennedy's skill set and he is going to make another offer in the summer. It is believed that Rangers feel his development has stagnated due to his performances out on loan and the coaching staff at Rangers believe Alex Lowry is closer to being 1st team calibre than Kennedy at the moment. West Ham believe they can get a deal done and hope they can develop Kennedy similar to what Chelsea done with Gilmour.

Was wondering if John25 or anyone else has heard anything similar?

18 Jan 2022 09:51:00
Not heard this, I know there was rumour start of last season Kennedy to West Ham. I’d let him go.

18 Jan 2022 10:13:19
Thanks John, I believe we rejected a 1 million pound offer from West Ham in the summer before he went on loan to Dunfermline.

He will be entering the last year of his contract in the summer, I wonder what Ross Wilson would consider an acceptable offer.

18 Jan 2022 10:24:05
Would 500k and 25% sell on clause be out of the question considering West Ham have cash to spend.

18 Jan 2022 10:56:22
RFC

I’d bite West Ham’s hand of for this deal. I fear Kennedy is another one of the majority of youth players who have all the ability but do not have the mental attributes to realise their potential.

18 Jan 2022 11:27:24
Agree mols, reminds me of David Templeton in a way, skillfull player but don’t think he will progress to the standard required.

18 Jan 2022 11:32:45
Think if we were offered a million for him he'd been gone🤔.

18 Jan 2022 12:12:13
Roloz just looking back there the Daily Mail reported Rangers rejected a 600K bid for Kennedy in the summer as did the Athletic. A similar bid this summer might be enough to get a deal done with Kennedy entering the final year of his contract.

18 Jan 2022 12:44:02
I think I'd take John Hughes opinion on Kennedy over dome guys on a rumour page.

18 Jan 2022 13:05:16
Tjrfc

You are perfectly correct and Yogi is best placed to assess Kennedy but you have to ask why all the big clubs (Bayern Munich and others) who were rumoured to be tracking him 18 months ago were not forming a cue when he renewed his contract in the summer.

He made his debut at least 2 years ago and has not featured since. There seems to be a cloud which follows this boy so the juries out.

I would like nothing better than one of our own taking the left wing berth but can’t see it.

18 Jan 2022 13:19:02
Tjrfc, I am not meaning to be down on the boy was only passing on what I had heard.

Like MOLS above, I would love nothing more than the boy to break into the 1st team and live up to his potential, but when you look at his performances for the Colts team during their Alkass cup success and the run in the Challenge cup, that version of Kai Kennedy would be dominating at Championship level but instead he hasn't been able to find any consistency or production on a weekly basis.

18 Jan 2022 14:55:06
Good posts guys and good info
shame if he has the technical ability
sounds like goi g on what your all saying there could be a player there
you would think our coaches could help him along to realise his potential
wonder why it’s not just happening
And why do West Ham think they can improve him better than us?

18 Jan 2022 16:00:57
Stig, he hasn't been getting coached by our coaching staff for the last year and half though as he has been on loan in the championship. I don't know if that has been viewed that the ability is there its just game time that has been needed for him but he hasn't been able to capitalise on his opportunities so far.

Gerrard had called Kennedy up to the 1st team prior to the contract negotiations stalling and then he was demoted to the B team and loaned out from there, don't think he has had a sniff at the 1st team since.

17 Jan 2022 14:08:00
Ed's is there any truth in the rumour we are interested in Dykes? I know someone he was close to from his time at queen of the south (I live next door to Palmerston) who has told me he would jump at the chance of European football. Thanks.

{Ed002's Note - Lyndon Dykes (S) Rangers are concerned that his price will be rising and may opt to move early. The player will want to see how the season pans out and has no interest in the decalred interest of Burnley. Brighton and Hove Albion have been watching Dykes and another QPR player.}

17 Jan 2022 14:59:27
Hopefully not. he's garbage.

17 Jan 2022 15:10:51
Thanks for the quick reply much appreciated. In my opinion he is an upgrade on Itten. Gives us a different option when we play against 11 defenders.

17 Jan 2022 15:26:09
Agreed we could of prob had him for itten Money.

17 Jan 2022 15:41:37
Rfc92 we definitely could have. Over the course of the season I’m almost certain his numbers would be better than Ittens. ( assists and goals )

17 Jan 2022 16:50:42
Ffs we are fecked if this is the strikers we are going for.

17 Jan 2022 17:05:00
Storm, 8 goal involvements in the championship ( 6 goals ) in 19 appearances 21/ 22 purely as a target man against some top teams and top defenders. Surely a bit far fetched, with the squad we have and the quality we have with tav and barisic, to say we are “fekd” targeting dykes. You don’t score 4 goals consecutively for Scotland by accident.

17 Jan 2022 17:32:58
Gio because he is an upgrade in your opinion does not make him good enough for rangers or champions league.

17 Jan 2022 17:41:19
Don’t believe a word of that! No chance is he coming I’ve never seen a worse player in a Scotland jersey. Although the last few games he did do well and arguably got us where we are with last minute goals etc. but let’s not get sentimental, this boy is complete trash!

17 Jan 2022 17:43:21
Completely agree john25 he is not proven at either level but not ever player we sign is. But we all seem to be optimistic over sands. He is doing well in the championship and I would give him a chance.

17 Jan 2022 17:56:03
Dykes isn’t what we are after surly .

17 Jan 2022 18:01:42
GOA Dykes is not good enough for us and never will be how many of those goals were pens And I know they still count but he just isn’t good enough so yes if that’s the players we are going for we are fecked IMO.

17 Jan 2022 18:27:22
Agree. But sands unknown quantity, dykes is no where near the standard we seek. Nor is itten.

17 Jan 2022 18:28:38
I've always wanted a big centre forward at rangers as you can tell by my name but no way is dykes good enough. I'd give itten another chance for now as we have enough forwards my only fear is the board are not backing gio the same as they backed Gerrard.

17 Jan 2022 18:38:01
John25 that was my overall point if the management team see Itten is good enough I can’t see why dykes isn’t better. There is a load of strikers I would pick before dykes let me be clear!

17 Jan 2022 18:47:49
Personally wouldn't want dykes anywhere near our team.

17 Jan 2022 19:13:57
Itten is way better than Dykes J25.

17 Jan 2022 19:28:28
People need to remember when we got itten he just recovered from a serious knee injury and can sometimes take aplayed to find Thier spark again. But Alfredo looked terrible under Gerrard at the end who knows maybe maakay and gio will get more out of him. Give guy a chance.

17 Jan 2022 21:59:20
Itten can’t score if he dosnt get minutes.

17 Jan 2022 22:35:51
Dykes is a good centre forward who I wanted over Itten. In SG's 'wisdom' he elected for Itten, in a move which made the sort of sense most of SG's signings did. I think Itten deserves a crack, a real proper shot, but I do rate Dykes as a very straight forward and solid striker. 6 goals 2 assists in Championship in 19 appearances is decent for a midrange team, pity QPR are a top 4 team. Would I take him? I think that moment has passed now.

17 Jan 2022 23:23:56
If we are all honest there is not a player good enough for champions league in the rangers squad look at the champions league teams and tell me what players would get in they teams Barcelona are in the europa 😂.

18 Jan 2022 00:46:36
I'll tell you who would be a good striker for us.

Danilo Pereira da Silva is a Brazilian striker who plays for Ajax and will have his contract with them ended in the summer. He will be 23 in the summer. He plays in the Eredivisie. He scored 17 goals in 34 appearances for Twente last season and has scored 4 goals in 10 appearances for Ajax this season.

He wasn't rumoured for a move here, but the Daily Record said he could be a possible striker for us when Gio came.

Given that he plays in the Netherlands, I think he would be familiar with Gio's style of play. It seems like a no brainer for us to sign him if he doesn't renew his contract or sign for another club in the summer.

18 Jan 2022 09:57:39
Never heard of him mate, based on what you say, maybe.

16 Jan 2022 21:53:17
An unknown English league team are in talks for a small fee for Andy Firth, makes sense to get rid of him, no idea why Gerrard gave him a new deal.

17 Jan 2022 06:35:43
It’s been made clear why firth got a deal to allow mcrorie and Wright to get loans. Firth lowest paid player.

17 Jan 2022 07:26:40
He shouldn't even have been given a contract in the 1st place let alone a new deal. SGs mate and was definitely a job for the boys contract.

17 Jan 2022 08:10:00
He is a qualified coach that allowed our young talent to get out and get some much needed game time.

17 Jan 2022 08:27:05
Disagree we could of put recall clauses in the players going out on loan them no need for firth he’s a waste of cash.

17 Jan 2022 10:43:03
Firth absolutely deserved his deal.

17 Jan 2022 10:47:07
Every side needs 3 keepers.
That's Firth's role - 3rd choice on low wages.
What's the point of keeping McCrorie, Wright etc to not even making the match day squad?
It's better for these young lads for their development to play in their age group or go out on loan.

17 Jan 2022 12:06:21
Firths also a goalkeeping coach that not many people know.

17 Jan 2022 12:50:55
Guys, if Robby McCrorie is third choice keeper and Colin Stewart is the goalkeeping coach, then what does Firth do for his wage? Wear the Broxi Bear costume?

17 Jan 2022 13:22:33
Why do we need 3rd keeper when we could of had recall clauses on the boys out on loan say McGregor got injured then you just play Jon if he get injured you recall a player Andy has been a waste of wages n it’s time he gets tae F##K.

{Ed001's Note - can you recall outside of a transfer window now? I don't know for certain about the SPFL, but it is certainly not allowed in other major leagues any more.}

17 Jan 2022 14:18:10
Even with a recall it would mess up their development. If our 1st or 2nd choice keeper gets injured and you recall a loan keeper they are going to sit on the bench for most of the matches. They could be out playing every week. We have firth who isn't on big money. He is a qualified coach and we have will have coaching duties within his role. He does his job and allows our talented youngsters the opportunity to play 1st team football somewhere and develop their game. If McCrorie does become a no1 for us it is because we have someone like firth to be a third choice.

17 Jan 2022 14:20:25
Copland how disrespectful off one of our players.
Why have McKaay vos mccallum et al.
Only need Gio based on your post.

17 Jan 2022 13:49:55
I’m sure you can recall under certain circumstances like all your keepers being injured or missing games due to red cars ect.

17 Jan 2022 13:55:47
Think you might be able to do it under Scottish premiership just looked it up definitely cannot do in Scottish premier league think the player has to be a certain age as well.

17 Jan 2022 13:59:33
Some people don't think before they spout their noise Ed001. Made all the sense in the world why we kept Firth and like you Ed I don't believe you can recall players outwith a window.

17 Jan 2022 14:04:13
Ed answer is no u can’t.
Ed this guy gets 1.5 k a week lol

RFC I find it incredible u don’t understand basic rules.

17 Jan 2022 14:34:10
He wasn't even trusted to be on the bench at the last celtic game even with 2 goalkeepers out. So basically 5th choice. Can't get why he deserved his deal.

17 Jan 2022 14:49:19
Sweep fgs he also had to isolate.

17 Jan 2022 15:27:08
Don’t know why your are defending him John he’s clearly mince.

17 Jan 2022 15:32:06
And 1.5k a week John he’s took around 240k in wages at rangers and gave imo mccrorie should also be sold he can’t make no2 spot at ibrox and is 24 in a few months he will never be our no1 keeper we should get another young keeper in with more promise.

17 Jan 2022 15:35:15
John25 my previous comment was meant to be tongue n cheek, apologies. Firth obviously contributes and from what i’ve heard/ read is a favourite within the dressing room.

17 Jan 2022 15:52:03
I've heard it all now honestly. He's getting 1.5k a week because he's liked in the dressing room. I very very doubt the guy would've even have been good enough for us when we were in the 4th tier. He got the job because he's Gerrard's mate nothing else.

17 Jan 2022 16:23:44
John25 you make it sound like 1.5k a week isn't a lot. That's 3 average punters weekly wages combined.

17 Jan 2022 16:25:35
Here's a question who is on more Firth or Robbie McCrorie?

17 Jan 2022 17:28:17
Sweep 1.5 k is sweetie money, I
L defend who I want RFC, he was bought in cheap for a reason
Mccrorie on twice plus a bit than Firth.
I get embarrassed listening to them that no more than gerrard and Wilson.

17 Jan 2022 17:45:40
Sweetie money for who John? I'd watch what you say because there's a lot of people probably some on here that works 40 hours a week for a 1/ 3 of that sweetie money.

17 Jan 2022 18:30:04
A footballer at old firm, sweep do not tell me to watch what I say. U run all our team and club down every day off your life.
Please ignore me as I won’t waste my breath on u ever again.

17 Jan 2022 18:32:14
Think John25 means in terms of wages at RFC. but think you probably knew that Sweep but if not I suggest maybe you should read over quotes a few times for it to sink in before replying.

17 Jan 2022 18:41:50
Good John I've no time for your big time Charlie approach either.

17 Jan 2022 18:49:40
Orygbmb not once did he mention it for Rangers he say he's only on 1.5k a week lol. Like it's a little amount of money.

17 Jan 2022 19:30:43
Are people really arguing over a third choice keeper who never plays 🤣😂🤣😂🤣.

17 Jan 2022 19:43:51
Orgy off course he knew what I meant, now I’m a big time Charlie, jealousy is a wonderful thing not.

17 Jan 2022 22:05:40
I think the management know better about these things than we do . that’s why most of us aren’t paid close to the minimum wage lol.

18 Jan 2022 04:58:21
You are more than entitled to your opinion John but I think everyone should stop arguing and admit am kinda right 😝.

18 Jan 2022 05:41:32
Sweep1,not taking sides here mate but surely you must have realised that John25 was talking about wages regarding what rangers pay🤔John25 is certainly not that type of guy that you're assuming he is! We're all bears on here so have different opinions of course, but you're trying to paint a picture that ain't there sweep1🤔That's not a dig mate that's my honest opinion👍.

18 Jan 2022 07:06:38
Walter I’m not interested in him been having a pop for weeks.
