Rangers Rumours

24 Oct 2021 14:58:22
Just received message Defoe granted permission to talk to Charlton, not my usual source.
Anyone hearing anything.

24 Oct 2021 15:55:24
Not heard anything but don't think that's a good move for him. They are in turmoil even after that De Chatale or whatever he is called sold them. If he hangs about and learns his trade here there is no reason he can't succeed Gerrard.

24 Oct 2021 16:08:19
I agree MoC.

24 Oct 2021 16:24:54
Must admit i've heard nothing regarding jermain defoe possibly signing for charlton John25🤔If there was any truth in it he would certainly go with my blessing and most bears blessing imo👍Defoe has been superb for us even at his age and what a striker he was and even at us in the twilight of his career,
his goalscoring record for us is good👌I wish he was ten years younger🙏.

24 Oct 2021 16:56:38
If ten year you would not be at Rangers.
Would save us a few quid. I’d be surprised he would leave so soon after getting engaged to a Glasgow company owner.

24 Oct 2021 17:22:45
As the manager?

24 Oct 2021 18:06:00
Yeah mikeger as manager. DG had zero managerial experience when we took him on and Defoe is being educated under him, G Mac and Beale. He could attract players like SG has with his reputation. i'm not saying its my first choice but its possible.

24 Oct 2021 19:18:02
Mike ger post says interview tomorrow with two others for managers job.

24 Oct 2021 19:29:38
Manager's job for who John25?

24 Oct 2021 19:39:14
Charlton mate, I goy text the same 10 mins ago.

24 Oct 2021 19:44:26
SGL, could be Charlton, us in the future.

24 Oct 2021 22:21:12
Maybe going to charlton to serve his time.

24 Oct 2021 23:26:01
Statement from the club kills this stone dead.

25 Oct 2021 06:25:51
How much is Defoe on per week? Save money. Only thing is the younger players and some senior players will loose out here as Defoe is really making strides coaching.

25 Oct 2021 07:40:35
Cool tav. Not seen this yet.

25 Oct 2021 08:07:44
Can't see this anywhere tav.

25 Oct 2021 11:25:19
Tav can’t find this statement, can you direct us towards it please.

25 Oct 2021 15:12:16
I'm not on twitter but I was sent a screenshot of a Rangers account which congratulated Defoe on his punditry and looked forward to seeing him back at the training ground. I've asked one of the twitterati to check it and it seems it's on there.

Great to see one of our coaches on punditry duty today.
Looking forward to having JD back at our training centre to continue his development as a coach whilst playing a key role within our squad.

25 Oct 2021 15:13:56
I also heard a FB page, Rangers til I Die, posted it.

25 Oct 2021 15:51:40
Cheers Tav.

25 Oct 2021 17:35:36
Personally I think it makes sense to shift his wages to another, however, he’s apparently impressed many with how he’s hit the ground running as a coach.

25 Oct 2021 18:30:52
Scotty123 "apparently impressed many with how he’s hit the ground running as a coach"? . I take it he's coaching the Rangers B strikers as our own are not hitting the net not nearly enough.

25 Oct 2021 18:36:05
Cheers tav, good info 👍.

25 Oct 2021 18:48:43
Excellent coach, but we don’t pay some off our other coaches 10k a week, it will be tidied up soon enough.

22 Oct 2021 18:49:12
John, maybe you could answer this. Today SG is reported to say that he does not know what Goldson wants. Do you Know where we are with an extention to Goldson's contract?

22 Oct 2021 19:25:24
Blue toon I wrote in May he would not sign the deal on the table as he wanted to be highest paid player at rangers. Also he wanted captain armband. My understanding is rangers said no to both.
I believe he will walk for nothing, I really rate him but would like him to stay, but if we get doehki Goldston would struggle for game unless we went three at back.

22 Oct 2021 19:56:54
Find it odd that a grown man would refuse to sign a contract because he was not given the armband surely that has very little to do with it. I like Goldson decent enough player and never injured that in itself is worth something. He has done well for us and should be appreciated. If he wants to move on for whatever reason I get that.

22 Oct 2021 20:36:23
Highest payed would be over 2 million a season prob wants 4 year deal aswell so 8 million over 4 years it’s a lot.

22 Oct 2021 20:57:50
Who is highest paid at moment and how much a week. do you think we are paying anyone 40 grand a week.

22 Oct 2021 21:34:09
I find that hard to believe that Goldson wants Tavs armband. They are actually very close on the park and also off the park where they socialise together with their partners. He may want a pay rise which isn't agreeable with Rangers though. I think he will stay at Rangers.

22 Oct 2021 22:09:06
Imho Goldson thinks that he is a better player than what he is, “don’t use your family as an excuse’ but t at the moment he has us over a barrel as we don’t have cover do you think that he would be in such a strong position if all our CBS’s were available.?

23 Oct 2021 01:47:31
Sorry John if your source is saying armband then i'm not having that nothing short of ridiculous and I'm surprised you posted it. If this was true then his arse would not touch the floor on the way out.

23 Oct 2021 07:00:57
Rangers would have started contract talks with Goldson about 1yr to 18mts ago imo. he's not signing, he's looking for PL money that will prob be his last big contract. So why not cash in and leave for free, we would all do, its only a job.


Loyalty is only as deep as your pockets.

23 Oct 2021 07:13:19
I understand roofe on 35k Alf 33k goldston 28 k.

23 Oct 2021 07:27:19
Rubbish up to u. But it’s a fact. Goldston full off self importance. As ptetwritten him and barisic have not spoken for months tubby I’ll keep stories to my self the. How many rubbish stories have I posted none
Punter he turned down deal March. We were talking to him and tav at same time.

23 Oct 2021 09:05:32
Goldston should be moved on in January and his time with the club is up!

23 Oct 2021 09:21:23
Yateley I know where u r coming from, but we actually need him, also we sign players who run contracts down, that’s football in this day and age.

23 Oct 2021 09:48:05
John I believe you as you haven’t got many things wrong Goldson is not irreplaceable he was good last season not so good this season and I also agree with yately should have been sold so we get money for him.

23 Oct 2021 10:14:09
I really hope we get Doekhi on a pre-contract in January but I have a feeling there will be huge interest. He was exceptional against Tottenham the other night when I watched. I read there are English, German, Italian teams all after him as well as PSV and Ajax. Fingers crossed on this one🤞.

23 Oct 2021 11:21:08
Baxter
Tav frequently moans at Goldston on the park usually when he F***s up himself by being out of position. Tav is not Rangers captain material. (Neither is Goldstone really IMO)

23 Oct 2021 11:30:19
John, just replace him in January and move him on? Like you say we have used the system but we are going for a Title and need players who want to be there and committed 🐶.

23 Oct 2021 11:38:29
U need some prepared to buy him in January.

23 Oct 2021 11:58:24
John25 i have never said anything about anyone on here, would never say anyone posts rubbish, not here to criticise or slag anyone.

Cheers.

23 Oct 2021 12:32:44
Punter only last part of my post was for u, sorry if u did not realise that, you r one off the fairest punters on here.

23 Oct 2021 14:42:54
I would like us to keep Goldson and bring in two additional centre backs. I don't rate Simpson, I suspect that Katic will not return and there is no guarantee that Helander will quickly recover from injury.

23 Oct 2021 14:58:46
On on board with your post Berkshire,
My four going forward
Helander doehki Goldston Cooper. It would have been Harry Souter but I think he has moved way out our price range.
What I find interesting the defenders we allegedly are showing interest in. Cooper doehki Souter brothers all play in back threes.

23 Oct 2021 15:13:00
Dont take it personally John maybe I came across a bit OTT just surprised he is being allowed to get away with said attitude.

23 Oct 2021 15:15:59
Tj it’s cool, I know couple in that dressing room Goldston is not a popular player. Very full off himself.

24 Oct 2021 02:19:06
John as you say Goldston not most popular player in dressing room and all the issues around contract will only make things worse but again as you say we need someone who wants to actually buy him. do you think we can get someone in January who would be able to step in at CB. if so I would take hit and put him in reserves out of way of first team to improve harmony within team. no one bigger than club.

24 Oct 2021 02:45:02
Would be decent at likes of QPR or west brom. Dreamland if he thinks he's EPL material.

24 Oct 2021 11:23:19
I agree Paul.

25 Oct 2021 08:22:11
I’m hearing Goldson could very well sign and it’s not all about being the highest paid player.

For me he gets slung……it’s not right that a contract ‘rebel’ gets to play every week. That’s just me.

Get Balogun signed for 2 year extension, he’s actually capt. material also. So far he’s our player of the season! He gets it! and more than most.

Sign Doekhi get Goldson out, unless he signs by Jan 1st.

#56.

19 Oct 2021 19:16:44
We have a scout at Sheffield Utd. Millwall game tonight.

19 Oct 2021 19:28:19
are we still interested in Jake cooper and is he now a realistic target.

19 Oct 2021 19:59:02
I’m not sure, I think mb keeping options open as Harry Souter seems to be heading out our reach.
Also we r definitely watching Wallace.

19 Oct 2021 20:15:17
Well these are truly uninspiring. We the supporters want to be playing in the champions League someone really isn't getting that are they. If Gerrard has his head turned don't let him sign these people. The guy from Blackburn rovers is 26 never heard of him but playing for them at that level than I don't want to know about him. I want my Tuesday and Wednesday nights to be watching us in Europe at the top table not battering in overtime at work trying to forget about it. Would he get in our team on merit or be another favourite starting before better player. I'm still raging with the substitutions in a game we were controlling on Saturday. that draw still feels like a loss.

19 Oct 2021 20:27:27
Livi bear what you talking about half epl now want Souter
Where we get money to sign players you want, let’s hear some names who u would bring in.

19 Oct 2021 20:37:54
Harry is only 22 can stoke wanting over the 10 million mark come end of the season.

19 Oct 2021 20:38:11
I'm not on about Souter, I'm on about Wallace and cooper.

19 Oct 2021 20:39:26
John25 Souter is way out of our price range.

19 Oct 2021 21:03:41
Millwall only have 12 goals Wallace was involved in 8 of they goals scored 4 and assisted 4 not seem him play but just on stats would say he could easily do a job in spl.

19 Oct 2021 21:19:05
Would he do a job in Europe if not then not needed.

19 Oct 2021 21:22:44
Livi when we scouted him start off season valued around four millio, since Everton Spurs villa Burnley et al came in price has rocketed.
So tell me why u don’t like cooper, u watched him regular
Still waiting to hear who u would sign livi.

19 Oct 2021 21:23:51
RFC Wallace will replace arfield imo.

19 Oct 2021 21:48:55
I see that both Cooper and Wallace at Millwall who we're allegedly keeping tabs on, have scored tonight.

19 Oct 2021 21:53:25
Scotty they did,

19 Oct 2021 22:06:15
Doekhi would be a start at the back played at a decent level good pedigree and if he is half as good as his uncle he'd do. I agree John when you said a few weeks back about both the Souter boys they'd both be good but as far as Harry's concerned that's not going to happen. I would take John his brother and even Handley as he has developed. Cooper never kicked on after we were looking a few years ago. The idea of going for players over 25 with no top-flight experience anywhere is not for me. If they see that as the way forward for us they are devaluing every youth player that dreams of coming through they are devaluing the dreams and expectations of the fans and devaluing us as a club. Gerrard may not rate Scottish players or our league but some of those he's brought in haven't been as good as the ones that were Scottish or from Scottish football.

19 Oct 2021 22:27:18
John, never fit and Hanley dreadful, Cooper far better than both. What Scottish players do u refer to at rangers because any who have left have went downhill hill or don’t play anymore.

19 Oct 2021 22:48:32
john25- do u recon charlie McCann and alegria will break into our first team this season andngwt any game time. saw McCann a few times and he looks a step above B team level.

19 Oct 2021 23:00:48
We must sign Players who will improve the team. Simple as.

19 Oct 2021 23:42:56
Livi, guys like Sebastian thill who knocked us out champions league qualifiers with progres doing it in champions league. 2 in 3 games for sherif who have been the surprise package so far. because they re not well known doesn't mean they can't do a job.

20 Oct 2021 09:11:27
McAnn yes.
Concer re Alegria fitness. Only played 12 minutes. My info not doing much training at all.

20 Oct 2021 09:34:34
John25 you are the guy who said about John Souter initially I'm agreeing he'd be good. Handley has played better than cooper in the championship and has international and EPL experience, doekhi would be my first choice

20 Oct 2021 09:50:24
Cooper would be a good signing.

20 Oct 2021 12:38:13
Livi yes I said we were watching him, never said I wanted him, seems to me better I just keep rumours to myself and family with friends.

20 Oct 2021 12:42:31
Hard to believe that anyone could should shout so loudly for us to buy players who can do it at the highest levels in Europe (and who would cost a fortune) then back it up by suggesting Grant Hanley!

20 Oct 2021 14:33:33
I understand what Livibear is on about to some extent.
Don’t think any of these players are a Ryan Kent or even an Aribo……uninspiring. I’ve trusted the club through tougher times but our transfer activity is in danger of chasing dregs hoping for a cheap win. Rangers will regret it deeply if we don’t win this title. Part of our problem so far this season is that only one of our signings is pushing the team and that’s only recently……. Lundstrum.

Bacuna, jury out. Fashion jury out . Simpson jury out. That’s not good enough from recruitment. Yeh maybe they will come good but you look at Celtic and they have Japanese striker, Jota and other winger all hitting the ground running……. surely our scouting is better?

#56.

20 Oct 2021 14:42:37
Still think we're looking in the wrong place regards English Lower leagues. Much better players in Scandinavia and Eastern European leagues this is where we should focus our scouting projects on.

20 Oct 2021 16:34:42
I think in an ideal situation we would all want to sign better established players, however we have no money unless we sell. If the club had managed to qualify for the CL then Veerman would of got signed. I think the club has done well picking up players out of contact, most have been a success.

20 Oct 2021 17:18:47
No point scouting people maybe our scouts should ask livi bear if he has heard of them before we scout them.

20 Oct 2021 17:31:00
John don’t stop posting your info because of one person we all appreciate your info obviously something has upset livibear.


Did you know about ryan kent or Morelos before they came livi bear?

20 Oct 2021 22:10:43
Storm thank u. I knew about kent definitely not Morelos.

21 Oct 2021 09:30:58
Morelos was playing topflight football before coming to us and both he and Kent were youth internationals my point is based on signing lower league players over the age of 25 which is a big difference from signing a 22 year old Tav or Joe aribo from the lower leagues but tell me this who from the English lower leagues apart from those two who as I said were young players only 22 have we signed that walks into the first team right now.

21 Oct 2021 17:34:27
Livibear, you could say the same about every signing that Wilson has made since he arrived. None of the players signed have been overly inspiring and it is only now that Lundstram appears to be showing some quality. If we don't spend decent money on players then we need to either be scouring Eastern European Leagues as well as the lower English Leagues and we will need to have a bit of luck with our acquisitions. I would not be adverse to signing the players from Milwall and I reckon that Cooper would be a major success in the SPL if we could get him.

21 Oct 2021 23:15:07
Dont watch english football but know few folk that follow blackburn and the lad were keen on supposed to be a great player. They all say he would smash it up here.

22 Oct 2021 00:23:07
John keep the posts coming . good to have someone with insight of what thoughts are at club. in an ideal world we would love to be looking at top to middle end of market but finances dictate who we can genuinely have a chance of signing. Any details on how far away Kent is from returning.

22 Oct 2021 03:48:42
Just read this, honestly would be a shame if u stopped posting john, I've stopped posting possibly for few months now the infighting between fans that are supposed to be found uniting as one got too much for me. Crazy thing is I even found myself getting dragged into it myself. So I thought enough is enough. Not sure who or what made u consider not posting but believe u are valuable to this site mate 👌 Keep up the good work John, One Love Godbless 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿💙🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿.

22 Oct 2021 13:25:10
Cheers Brexit. One or two no all’s that rubbish everyone but come up with no decent comments themselves.

19 Oct 2021 11:48:26
I see Joe Rothwell has popped up as signing in January? Any info John25.

19 Oct 2021 13:02:09
Not a name I’ve heard. Was linked onhear a few weeks ago.

19 Oct 2021 13:10:49
I know very little about him mate apparently doing well so far this season with Blackburn? 26 and on a Freebie or small amount to get him in January window, sounds like our style?

19 Oct 2021 13:30:39
We need much better to progress, don’t see him better than what we have.
I would rather we give Kelly and mcann a chance.

19 Oct 2021 13:38:07
john25 do u believe we are still after veerman and are we looking to add him in January.

19 Oct 2021 15:28:47
I believe he will be kept till summer, he is about 6 millions unless hagi does go
I see doehki Wallace and ivanic in January.

19 Oct 2021 15:49:23
I don't know anything about this guy, so I'm not in a position to judge him. Although, I agree with what John is saying, and for us to progress, we have to bring in better than what we already have. Is he better?

Quick question. Out of all our transfers since Gerrard came in, what percentage would pass as a success amongst them all. I feel 50% would be seen as a success. I believe he's brought in 42 on permanent and loan deals, and out of them all, I would say over 20 have been successful. No team is ever going to get a 100% success rate so I think that's pretty decent. If our team think the guy is good enough, then it's good enough for me. But one misplaced pass, or missed sitter, or when he doesn't pick up a player who then scores, his ass is grass!

19 Oct 2021 16:15:24
aww klkl well hopefully we still have interest in veerman as he's definitely someone who will improve our squad. also who is ivanic and is doeki going to be signed in jan or a pre. contract for the summer.

19 Oct 2021 16:49:21
Ivanic plays with red star. Apparently we went for him last day of window. Attacking mid. Last season scored 20 with 16 assists in 48 games
Story is pre contract but we may try get him in early.

19 Oct 2021 20:39:55
Could see this one happening.

21 Oct 2021 17:47:38
Rothwell was a quality young player when originally at Manchester United and for some reason it just didn't happen for him, (the same as with many other young players) . He appears to be one of the best players at Blackburn these days and is attracting interest from EPL Teams. Although I would like to see young Kelly and young McCann brought into the squad, with Davis and Arfield not getting any younger Rothwell might be a decent acquisition. We certainly need to improve our squad and we don't appear capable of scouting players outside of the British Isles these days!

22 Oct 2021 08:04:17
I would love veerman as well but if we can sign him in January I would go for him, what if he has a season where he is a lot more influential n scores more goal n assists and is a standout. His price will no longer be what it was and possibly bigger champions league clubs would be interested. I know its all if and buts However I believe we may have missed out here and personally I would rather have signed him start of season, And not done some of the early season pre contracts. Gave more youth a chance. I understand the financial situation however so it's high risk. Some of the players we signed are not good enough or as good as thought would be. However This is always going to be the case with any signing, some shine n some don't. It's always a gamble, but when u don't have money to throw around u have to make sure who u bring in will do a job. Sometimes signing a standout player, even just one with no other signings it can improve the quality of the whole team. Football is largely confidence based and one great player can bring out the best in other players who didn't look as good and inspire them n make others jobs easier as they know and have confidence in the quality of player they are playing with. Instead of signings 3 or 4 players who are not first team regulars. We did not need a lot of players added we were world record beaters last season. We just had to trim the squad n add a standout first team player who can improve what we were already building. Do you think theirs a chance we could possibly dip into the loan market in January?

22 Oct 2021 13:29:38
Good post broxi, mb a loan ch, however I’d rather see doehki brought in early
Also Wallace and ivanic. It let's them bed in for start off next season and potential CLplayoff.
I think veerman will be a target if we Win league, he is the upgrade we need,
