Rangers Rumours

07 Jul 2020 08:37:28
As we all know now, after the curse / terrible luck of nikola katic getting his cruciate ligament injury, we will most probably need to enter the market for a centre half to cover the loss of big katic! I read an article from ibrox noise mentioning the possibility of a short term deal for christophe berra. i hope not!

I do think gerrard will sign an experienced centre half to cover the loss of katic and imo i think scott dann on a short term deal, would be a very good piece of business for us. To all my fellow bears out there, who within reason would you want gerrard to bring in for cover at centre half? 🤔.

How about Liam cooper of Leeds?

Potus Jansen/ Ben white

Or look to the French league for some young talent
William Saliba of st ettienne he’s 6ft 4 young and gathering a good rep
Infact there’s a few young talented across various clubs in France
Buy but cheaper and sell later for profit.

{Ed001's Note - Ben White is a Brighton player on loan that has already been the subject of inquiries from a number of Prem clubs. William Saliba is an Arsenal player, they bought him for next season before the start of the last one.}

A couple of cracking free agents kicking about SGL. Benedikt Howedes is a class centre back just been released from Loko Moscow. Still just 32 and a world cup winner. Malang Sarr is a free agent but too many big guns after him so not realistic but would be a dream signing.

Wonder in niko done it on the 4g surface that we train on. that everybody slates for previous injuries.

07 Jul 2020 10:15:13
Thiago Silva is a free agent 🤣.

07 Jul 2020 10:22:34
I will throw Cedric Kipre in there. Motherwell fans totally idolised him, he knows the league and as Wigan have their troubles he wouldn’t cost fortunes.

07 Jul 2020 10:32:23
Big kyle bartley.

07 Jul 2020 10:34:11
Thanks ED for putting me right there never knew he went to Arsenal Obviously a good player 😊

I knew Ben white was out on loan - and thought maybe a we loan deal for him would be nice lol
Possibly setting my sights too high doesn’t hurt to try though 😂.

{Ed001's Note - you are setting your sights very high, though I am sure Gerrard will know about White considering Liverpool have been tracking him for a long time. Saliba is a special talent from what I have seen, if Arsenal let him go on loan then Arteta is a moron and should be sacked. He is better than anything they have at the club right now.

Pontus Jansson joined Brentford in the summer, bit inconsistent for my liking. One of those who needs to be constantly pushed or he is poor. On his day he can be excellent, but he lacks the mentality imo for a team that has to win every week, such as Rangers.

As for Cooper, the Leeds fans either love him or hate him. He is a bit like David Luiz, but not as flamboyant. In other words, good on the ball but it always feels like he is on the verge of a mistake to give away a goal.}

Hey SGL,
I think there are a few options from down in the EPL. Dann is a shout and we could wait until near the end of the window to see who is surplus to requirements for decent clubs down south.
Alternatively. I am convinced that the most crucial thing we need is a Defensive Mid. Ideally (for me) one that could slip into a Centre Back/ sweeper role when the full backs bomb on to make a back 3.
We have been linked with Dejan Ljubicic from Rapid Wien who may be ideal in this role. Ross McCrorie another candidate.
This would give defensive cover meaning we would not need to bring in 2 players.
For further understanding (for the fans of 90's football) the ideal example of type of player would be Ronald Koeman.

07 Jul 2020 10:43:32
C of Ibrox, i would echo you oin cipre, rated him a lot when he was up here and my understanding was he has done alright down south. relatively young and would make decent back up.

07 Jul 2020 01:45:29
Anyone heard anything more on Tony Weston yet seems to be taking a while?

06 Jul 2020 21:21:20
Kamberi talks continue, Hibs keen on taking Docherty or McCrorie in exchange.

06 Jul 2020 21:52:17
Give them doc. Take that no probs.

06 Jul 2020 22:45:38
SG wants Kamberi plus another striker on board even if Morelos was to stay.

06 Jul 2020 23:04:30
Yes, showed more commitment than some.

07 Jul 2020 04:01:33
They can have one of them on loan but no way is docherty or mccrorie 150k as that’s the fee being reported.

07 Jul 2020 06:21:16
Couly kamberi has shown more than doc in games played. Fair straight swap.

07 Jul 2020 07:34:21
I have to say I feel if we really wanted Kamberi he would already be in the door and training with us. What would be the point in waiting? If as is the case he’d only cost 150k there’d be nothing stopping us getting him in. I don’t believe we are wanting him back at all.

07 Jul 2020 08:25:43
If Kamberi is the level of ambition then we are in trouble. How are we supposed to stop them with players like him? Shouldn’t be doing any business with Hibs and certainly not Docherty or McCrorie.

07 Jul 2020 08:57:01
I agree Biff, Kamberi is a descent player but not good enough to overcome the Tims✌️🇬🇧.

07 Jul 2020 10:59:50
So kamberi isn't good enough for us. Yet they signed players like Hayes n the Killie lad yet still win the league. Your vision is very clouded tbh.

Yeah but they already had a squad that won the league and the 2 players you mention were squad players. We need players who can go straight into the team and not just squad players. Gerrard himself has said he is looking at players who can go straight into the team and Kamberi doesn’t fit into that.
