Rangers Rumours

19 Jun 2019 08:31:34
Anyone know what the hold up is with Aribo?

19 Jun 2019 13:54:18
gmartin - I have asked that same question a few times. DR says that it is a done deal. If that is so then it should be out there. Just wish we could be updated. Of all the 'signings' this summer Aribo is the one that excites me the most.

Fingers crossed even Bridgeton cross (ed) if it helps!

18 Jun 2019 14:12:51
Looks like Joe Aribo is set to sign - very good news.

18 Jun 2019 15:33:05
Rumour has it Celtic have offered him a last minute deal but I'm sure he would rather play for stevie g that wee ginger teeth.

18 Jun 2019 15:54:40
hope so Cato - got a friend who goes to the valley and he’s gutted Aribos leaving and said the lads some player

fyi yours is the best moniker on here!

18 Jun 2019 17:00:04
Cheers Trev, but your moniker was different class as a player.

It does seem as though our respective managers may well make the difference when it comes to signings. Cannot blame who say, Lennon? Who? and serves them right, going for the cheap option - even Turnbull at 19, is swithering - and now they have to go public and beg! He is 19 and no Messie.

18 Jun 2019 19:24:04
I hope so, I’m really looking forward to seeing this guy play, by all accounts like got a lot to offer!

17 Jun 2019 18:02:18
Anyone heard anything about that Welsh guy being in Glasgow, the guy from anderkecht?

17 Jun 2019 18:14:03
they are wanting 3m for him they only signed him for 650k I don't think this will happen.

17 Jun 2019 18:34:19
Not seen a lot of him admittedly but I am somewhat underwhelmed by what I have seen tbh.
I’d rather push boat out for boy Cooper from Millwall or even Souttar from Hearts.
Think the Welsh boy is left footed though and more likely to be in competition with Katic on LCB with Edmunston targeted as back up for Goldson.

17 Jun 2019 19:24:36
Have you seen Souttar playing? He is horrendous. Rather halliday filled in centre half haha.

17 Jun 2019 19:39:15
Cooper is a no go. We won't pay 6 mill for a defender and Millwall stayed up so they don't need to sell. Plus he's just signed a 5 year deal I think. Souttar hasn't been great but would 66% cheaper than Lawrence. If Lawrence is getting game time at Anderlecht he will be a damn site better than souttar. He's playing in a technically better league so he'll definitely be a better ball player, and Anderlecht are champo league regs so he'll be getting good experience. and an international. 3 mill sounds not bad for a young, decent defender who will improve our squad or break into the team.

17 Jun 2019 19:56:10
I had big hopes for Souttar 2 years ago but his progress has badly stalled no idea but what little I saw of him last year he seems to be worse.

17 Jun 2019 20:11:37
Edmundson 700k
Souttar 800k-1mil
Lawrence 3 mil (even though he was bought for around 500k and hasn’t been a regular for them)

I’d personally go for the boy Edmunson to be back up to Katic and surely Aidan Wilson would be a good 4th choice.

17 Jun 2019 20:31:16
Sounds good blue89 but do u know what we should be doing? Moving heaven and earth to get David Turnbull in the door. I don't know if his turning down Celtic is to leverage a better offer this boy is special. 19 year old midfield goal machine, learning under a (in his day) fairly decent midfielder in SG. I know the last thing we need is another cm but we need a link to the strikers and more goals from midfield. His goals would have won us the league.

17 Jun 2019 21:20:04
Easy there tiger.

17 Jun 2019 21:29:20
I’d be surprised if Hearts sold us Souttar especially for under £1m, he’s not worth much more but they also seem to put the price up a fair bit for us.

17 Jun 2019 22:06:41
Easy tiger davis is fairly decent gerrard and McAllister were both top class players.

17 Jun 2019 22:20:19
Soutar - no thanks. Not nearly good enough for us.

17 Jun 2019 22:30:24
Easytiger, here's a wee question for you mate. Who would you currently drop from our midfield, to play david turnbull? For me, he wouldn't get into our current midfield, simple as that mate! Scott arfield's goals from midfield, should have took us even closer to them. I certainly wouldn't be dropping scott arfield for david turnbull, as arfield is much better than him and obviously much more experienced, having played at a much higher level.

17 Jun 2019 22:43:48
We need better quality of defenders than what we have. Amount of stupid goals we conceded this year was horrendous. I like the boys we have but we want to go for better not back ups.

17 Jun 2019 23:41:54
Turnbull will sign for Celtic in next few days, they tried to hijack the Aribo deal on Sun and the lad did a Novo lol. They have improved the offer to Turnbull.

18 Jun 2019 02:49:38
Usual rangers transfers always dragging it out.

18 Jun 2019 02:55:58
So by 2 opinions, he will cost £3m but only cost them £500-£650k. By that theory, nobody will touch morelos or tav for anything over £3m.

18 Jun 2019 02:56:36
Souttar started off last season really well but got a bad injury and never recovered that form. Personally I think the lad Porteous is a better prospect at the moment.

18 Jun 2019 02:58:09
Edmundson will be 600 - 650 and lawrence will be 1.4 mill according to rumours.

18 Jun 2019 06:13:19
Patience 6counties. Rangers are doing their transfer business efficiently and quietly mate. that's why the media are continually guessing with names etc. Nobody but gerrard and co, know exactly who we are wanting and who we're speaking to, behind the scenes. that's the very professional and proper way to conduct our transfer business. I have total trust in gerrard, mark allen etc, in the way their doing their business.

18 Jun 2019 06:14:13
I honestly don't think lawrence is a target mate.

18 Jun 2019 07:15:19
Porteous is a great shout. Very brave young lad.

18 Jun 2019 08:09:09
SGL well said, That’s the way to go about transfer business, Keep them all guessing.

18 Jun 2019 08:16:52
Porteous is a big cart horse. Absolutelyou rotten.

18 Jun 2019 08:22:09
Agree with Zikos, Porteous much better than Souttar for me, proper defender!

18 Jun 2019 16:25:58
Wouldnt touch the boy from hibs after being proud of the twitter thing showing him hurting one of our players. Not something i would want in my dressing room if i was SG.

18 Jun 2019 16:31:22
Remind me to explain what sarcasm is bellshilllad after this gold. Ofcourse Stevie was better than fairly decent. My exact point there's no one better he could learning from if he wants to stay a goalscoring midfielder. to the point about who to drop; that's the question surely every manager wants. Now is Turnbull a better player than arfield? Not yet but he's 19 Nd Scotty boy is 33 so nothing wrong with still getting him in. Secondly he scored almost double the goals arfield did so that plays a factor. And thirdly who to drop. well arfield more of a link to the strikers who runs by the strikers and a lot if not all of his goals were in the box. Turnbull is fearless and shoots on site, and very well at that. We need that. Jack, kamara etc are too shot shy at times. And I understand that, they've got their job and the scorers have theirs but this boy could be our Frank lampard, banging in double figures each season for the next 10-12 years.

18 Jun 2019 20:22:03
Scotty123 turnbull not signing for them.

16 Jun 2019 16:33:36
Kent and ojo will be announced on Monday both in Glasgow atm.

16 Jun 2019 16:58:26
Well obviously, big blue bear says it’s a “fact”.

16 Jun 2019 17:45:07
Really hope to god you're correct boabt78, especially regarding ryan kent. We know what we're getting with kent. Like always i'll believe it when i see for defo, kent holding our scarf aloft and wearing our new hummel home top. Not doubting you mate, just not counting my chickens.

16 Jun 2019 19:02:48
Is anyone else a little concerned about the amount of loan deals? Rumour has it Hastie will be going out on loan Middleton is away already, I don’t know much about Ojo but surely we should be trying to bring our own young players on, we had docherty and holt out on loan last year both could have done better that coulabaly and Ejaria. Kent is a very good player but we should be signing the likes of him for 3-4m max I hate how people are saying he’s a £10-12m player 6goals and 9 assists in 40 odd spl games isn’t amazing, but building Liverpool players up so they can sell them to the highest bidder is not great for us unless we start getting 10% selling on fee?.

16 Jun 2019 20:03:39
That’s championship manager talk highlandbear just talking about assists and goals from a player. He’s far more important than just that because just because you don’t make the final pass doesn’t mean you aren’t involved in the move for the goal which I can guarantee Kent has been involved in more than 15 times as you put it. So he’s barely worth more than Grezda is what your saying, come on.

16 Jun 2019 20:19:19
Spot on rick.

16 Jun 2019 20:33:42
Yes i'm in total agreement with Rick Witter here. Ryan kent has been involved in a lot of our goals, before the final assist. Everything is not all clear on stats.

16 Jun 2019 21:05:42
Hey Rick, I’m not sure why you’re trying to compare Kent and grezda? I said that for me we should be trying to sign Kent for 3-4m I think he’s a good wee player but let’s face it he’s shot shy gets in great positions but there’s not a lot of end product that’s the reason for my valuation but he’s young and without doubt talented, but nobody is realistically going to pay 12m right now and that is why we will get him back this year improve him again and this time next year he’ll be away somewhere else for the money being touted about just now. As for Grezda I’ve seen as much as you have mate, he’s dug meat and doesn’t belong in a conversation with Kent and I think we’ll be lucky to get back 20% of the 2m we paid for him? Out of curiosity how much do you think Kent is worth based on last season?

17 Jun 2019 10:16:47
Highland bear are u mental its 2019 Kyle Walker costs 50million so Kent is worth 10 go have a look at what players cost in real life now adays it's not the 1960s. Ryan Kent was absolutely class for us last year if rangers best players for a season is only worth 4 million something Is serious wrong. same kinda people who didn't want Ojo would of rather had Kent when infact ojo is miles ahead of Kent at liverpool because he's twice the player.

17 Jun 2019 10:38:47
Highland bear I 100% agree with you but some people are dazzled by Kent’s 2 great performances against Celtic they are blinded by stupidity.

17 Jun 2019 10:44:30
Highland Bear, it’s all good saying we should be trying to sign Kent for 3-4m but unfortunately it’s not us that decide his price. When teams like a newly promoted Villa are floating around for whom £10-12m is pocket change then there’s no chance of getting him for £3-4m, these are the prices these type of players go for.

As for being concerned about loan deals then as long as they improve our team and help us get a result then no. In the case of Ryan Kent everybody is a winner, we get a great player from a market we cannot compete in, Liverpool increase the value of an asset and the player gets some of the best experiences in football and develops as a player.

To mention using someone like holt over loaning Ejaria is absurd, I love holt and his passion for the jersey but he’s limited in his ability and to be honest I’d rather have someone with the ability of Ejaria for half a season than Holt for a full. just wish Ejaria had more bottle. You do have a great point with Docherty and Coulibaly though and I hope to see more of Docherty next season.

17 Jun 2019 11:02:06
Gannet. You don't rate henderson or milner, you don't think arfield would be a loss to us, you think shankland will fire us to 55 and you're on here claiming other people are blinded by stupidity. Turn it up lol.

17 Jun 2019 10:53:06
Rick witter, lighten up man.

17 Jun 2019 14:56:14
It is still too early to say whether Kent is coming back. Klopp wants to have a look at him in pre season and they will accept any bids north of £10mill. There is no incentive on Liverpool for him to sign up now.

17 Jun 2019 16:00:05
Fernando ricksen loyal what are you smoking I thought Rick Witter was out there comparing grezda with Kent but you’ve taken it to a whole other level Kyle Walker is a full England international with maybe 200 pl games under his belt and you compare him with Ryan Kent and ask if I’m mental grow a brain man. Kent has had a pretty decent season with us and I’d love to have him back but nobody will pay 10m+ for a player that’s had one decent season in Scotland and I’ll eat my words if someone does but these prices are all pie in the sky from agents and media it’s not a genuine valuation.

17 Jun 2019 17:56:52
Now now hen grow up.

17 Jun 2019 17:57:36
English market is heavily inflated if u don't realize that your daft.

17 Jun 2019 18:45:16
He’s done nothing at all in England tho he’s had one decent season with us he was mince at Bristol city couldn’t get a game honestly what is it you don’t get.

18 Jun 2019 02:41:08
Where's this 40 odd spl games came from? Weren't those stats based on him playing 27 league games? Isn't there only 38 spfl fixtures a season? Anyway some motor Ojo turned up in getting him and Kent in will do me.

18 Jun 2019 04:31:58
My point was regardless of how poor he’s been Grezda still cost £2m yet you reckon Kent is only worth paying an extra £1m-£2m for. Incidentally I reckon he’s worth between £6m-£8m right now but will definitely be worth an extra couple of million on top of that come the end of the season if he has another good one with us.

19 Jun 2019 14:28:14
Rick while I respect your opinion you can’t value someone of the back of how much another useless player cost, I based my valuation on the fact he’s young, exciting and on his performance for us last season witch was good, I would say David Turnbull was just as good maybe better albeit a different type of player and he’s going for 3m.

16 Jun 2019 10:32:48
Saw a picture from a lad on twitter of Ryan Kent getting a haircut in a barbers in the west end. Was also photographed at Glasgow airport earlier. Anyone know of any information regarding this hopefully he wasn't up to collect the rest of his stuff etc.

16 Jun 2019 12:20:21
He was just getting a trim ready for pre season training on Monday.

16 Jun 2019 13:33:28
Needed a trim.

17 Jun 2019 06:44:14
Ask the guy who works for menzies at Glasgow airport.

18 Jun 2019 02:41:17
Forgot to ask him Southend mate, haven't heard much out of that character so far .
