Talking about CB's anyone heard anything with regards to Trusty? I believe he is still with National team and won't make decision until afterwards?

Panzo has went quiet, I reckon he has plenty offers and considering them and waiting to see if anything else pops up ?

Any the lads in the know picking anything up?

Balogun signed on £3k a week deal - great character around the place i know its not what everyone wants but its a cheap option that can pay dividends - how the big man performed against the other mob was outstanding - 4 or 5 performances like that makes him well worth the money - i never wanted him to go in first place -.

Nothing new but in an interview Beale hinted towards more Signings coming which could be towards a defender Jose Cifuentes possibly soon enough Panzo is down to fee and Rangers reluctant to spend what they are looking for Leon king may just have changed that I'm not saying it will but I'm guessing.

I’m not in the know mate but imo trusty will be joining us after his international commitments are complete.
Panzo seems to be dragging on a bit doesn’t it.
Think it was a very wise move bringing balogun in just now so we know we have cover in defence who needs no time to settle no hassles or worries, trusty may well come in on loan with first refusal at a higher price as £2m sounds too cheap to be believed
Panzo may well come in a swap for bb I think I heard that said previously .
We may see Davies sold now that balogun is in the door and use that money to fund the other defender whoever it will be.
Looking from outside central defence next season looks like

Goldson (Souttar)
Trusty (panzo)
Balogun 5th choice.

Ipswich is meant to be after trusty surely we can beat them to the signing we have European football and chance to win titles and cups.

Balogun is already in Germany with the team so seems like there must have been some prior knowledge?
I am not against this move as long as we get another 1st choice LCB in soon.
RCB - Goldson, Souttar
LCB - NewLCB, Davies (or replacement)
Back up - Balogun
This would have allowed King to go on loan (now recovery) and given us good depth.
Balogun wouldn't have taken much convincing as he calls this club his home so not much outlay needed I would assume.

I love big balogun I didn’t want him to leave thought he more than earned a new deal.
The fact he has came in on £3k a week (will barely cover his rent and bills) shows he’s basically playing or rather standing by for free.
This shows great commitment.

Anyone in the know?
Would rangers be covering his housing costs while he’s here as it’s a 1 year deal and on £3k a week it’s not a lot considering he has a family so essential costs and housing for a (likely) millionaire footballer it’s nothing reall n is it. ?
Would we be covering the cost of his housing for example? Ed even? Would u be in the know on these type of situation I’m just curious.

Nizzy, europe/ cups/ titles are not the first thing on players minds any more, Unfortunately . or we would have a wee queue!

I've had a wee seesaw of thoughts on Balagun coming in. Was a bit on the negative with it. But just thinking about it this may be a short term cover as the club may rate King highly and see him as first team going forward. Would still like to see another ch come in but that's because I'm not sure on Davies being the solution and soutar staying fit. I think we'll sign another CB and Leon will cover till king is back.

Panzo and trusty ain’t signing for us mate why would he be 5th choice to players who don’t play for us.

Trusty in international business until the final on 17th July. Maybe see some movement after that.

Stevie appears that’s his weekly wage, then paid if in match day squad or first 11.

Same type deal Flannagan had.

I loved big Balogun when he was here, but he's signed for cover for these cl qualifiers pretty much. It's either that or we go in possibly starting mayo if soutter or Davies pick up an injury. Personally wouldn't be comfortable with that after we threw king to the lions in cl last year. No brained for money involved and Leon will be well aware he won't be a starter every week.

Sensible view and understanding of the balogun signing Herewego55 ? I agree with you totally ?Some panty wetting on here for nothing ?.

Agree BlueRunner.
At first I wasn’t sure what to make of the Balogun signing, however the more I think about it and read that it wasn’t just a knee jerk reaction and was planned in order to let King go out on loan the more it makes sense.
I believe we will sign another left sided CB regardless and if Davies is moving on a replacement for him.
I do feel we need to sign a quality LCB ASAP though.

Walter, no one is wetting their pants, just disappointed with the signing of a 35 year old, who has missed a lot of last season through injury, Beale seems to say one thing and do another.

Stevie it varies from deal to deal, some the club pays, some the club arranges for the players and others the players sort themselves. The guys signed on long deals, particularly from abroad generally get their first year paid by club as a minimum. I know club covered Alfies rent for his full contract but Kent only got 1 year paid by club.

The balagun signing is actually a signing that everyone should agree both sides of the arguments have valid points, time will tell how good the signing is.

Huey cheers mate, interesting to know even Morelos and Kent had theirs covered although such high earners. That’s crazy. I thought maybe the one year deals or the loans and with balogun being used to a certain standard of life I’d guess his rent will be thousands a month not much less than his contract. Interesting stuff mate.

Balogun showed rangers and the fans nothing but love and respect so we should do same with him.

Welcome home balogun ??.
