Rangers Rumours

07 Dec 2021 15:58:18
Has Aribo knocked back a new deal now as well?

07 Dec 2021 16:22:01
Read that aswwl but fully expected him to leave in the summer anyway. Will make a very good profit on him anyway. Kamara aswel i think will leave in summer.

07 Dec 2021 16:40:14
If they don't want to commit get them sold as we want/ need players totally focused on wanting to play for us! No player ever bigger than glasgow rangers, simple as that!

07 Dec 2021 16:58:36
Don't expect players like him to stay for more than 2-3 yrs anymore. Its knowing when to cash in. Probably get biggest fee this window but best to keep till the summer. Been player of the season so far.

07 Dec 2021 17:02:48
Walter. Did u say same when we signed aribo, kamara, McLaughlin, lundstrum sakala et al, it’s called football.

07 Dec 2021 17:38:19
Need to be looking at the 15-20m mark for

Kent
Aribo
Kamara

Be gutted to lose them all tbh, but what a profit that would be!

07 Dec 2021 17:41:53
Need to be looking to get 15m for

Aribo
Kamara
Kent

Be sorry to see them go, but what a return that would be! Along with the 30m for winning the league . that's an awfy £ to reinvest in the squad!

07 Dec 2021 18:37:31
Do u mean 15m per player?

07 Dec 2021 19:32:17
Hasn't quite knocked it back, just said he's not interested in any new offer apparently. Preliminary discussions weren't persuading him. Source for that has got a lot right before. He wants PL football.

07 Dec 2021 20:35:55
If he keeps playing the way he has been this season I’d expect him to move onto a bigger club than palace who apparently were very close to a deal in the summer. Our business model is to buy and move on for a decent profit, I’d be expecting 1 or 2 very tempting offers in Jan for our players on 18 month left of contract. We will have players identified to replace and in expectation they then move on in a few years for a profit. It’s how we need to roll.

07 Dec 2021 22:06:18
Coupland1 . na, I'm mean 15 for all 3 😵😵😵. Course 15m each.

08 Dec 2021 08:37:56
This is what we should really start coming to expect, we are an excellent platform for a young promising player to come and develop and get a big money move or move to a better league.

At the end of the day if they get a good move then they have earned it serving our club, it's up to our management/ senior management to manage contracts, sales and replacements in the best interests of the club.

I think he'll be sold if he's not interested, better in my opinion settle it either way with at least a year to go where possible, as all power to the player and potential buyers afterwards.

08 Dec 2021 10:34:39
I don't believe that we can expect anything different given that we play in what is really a back water in football terms. Top quality players will always want to test themselves in top leagues and unless there is a fundamental shift in the way that Scottish Football is run that will generate meaningful investment nothing will change.
We simply need to ensure that we secure maximum return when these players are sold and that we bring in players of a similar quality or with the potential to meet and exceed that quality to replace them.

Thankfully GVB and his management Team have that experience from their time in Dutch Football.

It is up to Wilson to ensure that we secure the appropriate fees and bring in the right players to replace them however we need to accept that this is going to be a continuous cycle and that makes it imperative that we sign the right p[layers!

08 Dec 2021 11:36:24
Camoo I don't think its a case of him not being interested as his performances this season have proved, it's more the fact he wants to prove to himself that he is able to play in a better league than the one we can offer, and also of course earn good money. We just have to accept that Rangers are a stepping stone for players wishing to play at a higher level, and if we can get 2 or 3 good seasons out of these types of players, great.

08 Dec 2021 13:33:25
I mean interested in staying where he is for the long term.

08 Dec 2021 21:04:08
I know everyone going on about players we might lose but the one guy I don't think we can afford to lose right now is Ross Wilson done a great job getting us players on a free.

06 Dec 2021 12:51:16
Being told Wilson was watched by Man U, man c villa Chelsea and Munich at Murray park on Friday. He scored 3.
Same scouts at Dumbarton Saturday.

06 Dec 2021 13:19:50
That's some collection of teams, John25!
Do you think we will be able to hang on to him?

06 Dec 2021 13:25:05
When the big teams come a calling, there’s not much we can do. I only wish we could get these young guys into our squads quicker and at least get a decent fee for them.

06 Dec 2021 13:35:35
Another Billy Gilmour situation it looks like, not a lot we can do when these teams can offer an insane amount Of money before they’ve even kicked a ball for the first team. Best thing we can do is have good sell on clauses and bonuses for hitting targets and hope we can make some money out of them.

06 Dec 2021 13:36:50
Stu no way getting them into squad quicker, they need to be 16 to sign pro deal in Scotland, 17 in England but can sign at 16.
I really don’t know ph, my head says he must look after himself, I see his brother has just signed a further deal on other side of Glasgow according to Ayrshire paper
Short career. Say 5k at Rangers or sort of money Gilmour on. I’m told he has been watched by over 30 teams, which allegedly include, Bayern, Dortmund, Leverkusen, madrid and Barcelona. Also told lad wants a pathway to first team somewhere by time he is 18
Last player at rangers to score so many, so regular was Andrew Dallas, can’t get a game at Cambridge now.

06 Dec 2021 13:49:17
El buff it’s actually down to clubs like Man City and Chelsea who add in sell on clauses or targets as the player is under 16 he is not ours.

06 Dec 2021 14:04:00
Was alluding to contractual age John25, if only it allowed us first options and then other clubs would at least need to pay a fee… I’m sure a development fee will help at least. Nature of the game and for every one we lose, we gain an Aribo or Bassey I guess. swings and roundabouts.

06 Dec 2021 14:20:57
Cheers John25, always appreciate your input 👍.

06 Dec 2021 15:20:19
For every mebude, Gilmour Wilson we sign a Weston, Graham allen.

06 Dec 2021 15:23:40
@John25 probably because he quit Cambridge for the national league and plays for Solihull Moors now ;)

06 Dec 2021 15:40:26
How do we make money if the lad hasn't signed with us yet?

06 Dec 2021 16:05:51
Yep rf, my point 55 goals a season, could not get game at Cambridge moved further down the ladder. Four years ago people wanted him in first team.

06 Dec 2021 16:16:26
Uefa/ fifa should have put a salary cap on players wages years ago this would have helped us keep wilson, yes more money in england but a lot of these players careers stall when they go to bigger leagues, billy gilmour is a prime example of that.

06 Dec 2021 17:32:46
Bar u get a development fee. Or a big club like Chelsea still buy him like they done with Gilmour.

06 Dec 2021 17:33:25
Mark not sure Gilmour career has stalled.

06 Dec 2021 18:33:18
Thanks J25.

06 Dec 2021 18:36:46
Gilmour career certainly hasn't stalled he's playing first team football in the biggest league in world football and is now a key member of a national team on the brink of a world Cup finals.

06 Dec 2021 18:52:01
John not sure what billy gilmour does next, he's playing in a very poor Norwich side that looks certain to be regulated this season, he's not getting back in that chelsea midfield any time soonif he'd have stayed with us he'd have developed into a better player and then if he'd have wanted went to the epl.

06 Dec 2021 19:04:45
John25 that's true 55 goals one season next couldn't get a game. Football development is purely down to finding coaches that are good for you too. If a kid is banging them in for his boyhood heroes youth team doesn't get a chance then goes down the leagues, that isn't always about skill its about having your heart broken and finding it difficult to pick yourself up. That boy was banging them in against European teams and needed to get the right continuation of his development but instead like so many others booted to the side. Some are strong and say f##@ it but others may never get it back. Was there many better than Andy Dallas at that age, then? So Andy Dallas will have seen others progress at other teams who weren't as good but they had a pathway and belief from their coaches. Middleton at 17/ 18 was better than he is now, Stephen Kelly is heading down the same road, and that was down to the managing of them. Gerrard fell out with Middleton, and couldn't workout if Middleton was a full grown man or he was an 18 year old. Either way it's up to the manager to get the most from them. If you had an argument with your teenage kids and you acted like the teenager then that isn't going to work out well. If Walter Smith had Middleton and Kelly they'd both be pushing for starts week in week out. I've seeny own boy boss it against Liverpool, arsenal and man u but there is something missing between u18 and the first team in Scotland and that is when the managers get involved. Gerrard brought lonee after lonee from Liverpool and at first sacrificed jack and arfield for them so what chance do kids have when minds are made up before they get a chance.

06 Dec 2021 21:16:10
The problem for me is we don’t have a proper pathway from 18-21. If minor clubs looked out they would allow hibs hearts Aberdeen rangers Celtic have b team pathway similar to Spain, Holland Germany.
I actually believe that Dallas was never going to make it, watched him at Morton and thought no way.

06 Dec 2021 23:09:03
I have said this on various posts the rumours in the town are Man City are the favourites to sign him.

07 Dec 2021 18:46:51
Nice thread lads reference the young players. I'll admit I don't follow them so I know nothing about them but look out for John25's posts on them. I've said for last 15 years or so if I had a kid breaking through I wouldn't have him at Rangers tbf as we have been very poor at giving the young players consistent game time which they need to take them up a level. Shame as it sounds as though Wilson could be a hit. Will see what GVB does with our decent youth prospects.

04 Dec 2021 13:52:51
Good attacking team

Kent not in the squad at all Gio said in his press conference no new injures and update why there is no Kent?

04 Dec 2021 17:17:11
Hes no bn on form.

04 Dec 2021 17:56:18
Simply resting him and Davo. Big games coming up. Good management.

04 Dec 2021 18:08:05
Maybe rested for Lyon away?

04 Dec 2021 18:43:16
Were already through the group and cannot finish top. Should be using lyon to get players minutes not resting folk.

04 Dec 2021 18:43:37
A nothing match.

04 Dec 2021 18:48:56
MPH Lyon away is a bounce game.

04 Dec 2021 18:58:54
I'd like to see fringe players like bacuna and kelly start against lyon.

04 Dec 2021 19:13:08
Due to our current financial situation a win against Lyon will give us about another 350k min. Geo imho will be wanting to add more quality to our squad in Jan. There is also the small matter of co eff points and keeping building a momentum. lyon are a CL level team that we should be going toe to toe with, with our strongest team. It will also give us valuable practice when and if we win the league and will be playing Lyon level teams.

So don't agree it's just a bounce game.

04 Dec 2021 19:23:30
Surely there is more much needed money for a win against Lyon? Or do we not bother with that?

04 Dec 2021 20:10:24
We are Glasgow Rangers don’t you know?

No such thing as a bounce game - we prepare and pick a team to win every game.

04 Dec 2021 23:12:15
The lyon game should be to give patterson wright bacuna kelly lundstram etc game time and rest players for sunday. The hearts game is a much bigger THE LEAGUE IS PRIORITY.

05 Dec 2021 11:17:08
Is it not 500 k for a win?
Anyway Paul should have could have would have .
It’s up to the manager … we kn nothing.

05 Dec 2021 13:20:13
DK19 I never said we shouldn’t put a team out to win game but it’s still a bounce game.

05 Dec 2021 14:46:00
Rangers have never once played a 'bounce game' at this level. There is money, prestige and learning at stake here and for us to treat it otherwise would be foolish in the extreme.

06 Dec 2021 06:02:41
Why would we need to rest players for Lyon they are already winners of group and we are 2nd. We should be giving fringe and youth players a game Vs lyon.

02 Dec 2021 12:50:50
Had scouts in belgium apparently to watch wesley hoedt. Wilson got him to Southampton.

02 Dec 2021 14:18:57
Yes read it in morning papers Paul. Is he any good in your opinion.

02 Dec 2021 15:32:06
I have no idea john. Honestly never heard of the guy. Same as you just reading tabloids. Went to southampton for 14mill.

02 Dec 2021 17:14:40
Sure he's left sided so not sure what this means for helander : (. Maybe seen as his successor? Are clubs sniffing around the big swede.

02 Dec 2021 17:25:20
Dunfermline he's by far our best CH. And was touted for villa last season. Wonder if this is still the case now SG is there.

02 Dec 2021 17:32:16
Wesley Hoedt only signed for Anderlecht in July, he's contracted until 2025, transfermarkt value currently 3.6m, but with length of contract they will want nearer 6m for him. For that to happen someone has to go.

02 Dec 2021 17:36:15
I think 3 would need sold for us to even think of spending that on a CB.

02 Dec 2021 18:11:05
He’s on 60 k a week no chance he’s taking a 50% wage drop.

02 Dec 2021 19:05:09
Everyone touted for villa.

02 Dec 2021 19:41:50
He was not a success at Southampton. Not a player that the fans liked!
