See Warburton in paper talking about the way he and Davie Weir were edged out, I know there were rumours they were talking to another club, but anybody got decent info on this, seemed a bit harsh, if they did move to another club we would have got compo surely?
1.) 15 Nov 2023 18:49:10
In past who cares move on
Need to look forward not back why are people intent on creating negative headlines around us when we are doing well.
2.) 15 nov 2023 18:54:52
tried to be fly and look innocent, git caught, end of.
3.) 15 Nov 2023 18:58:20
Is this just some media spin from Brighton as D Weir being mentioned in rumblings re potential DOF job at Ibrox and a way of spreading negative press so as to distance him from the job? Just a thought?.
4.) 15 Nov 2023 19:37:59
Things were going pear shaped for him as his lack of a plan B was getting found out, he thought he was gong to get sacked and started looking around for other offers, got caught and got sacked. We got no compensation because we sacked him and he got no compensation because he was talking to another club. He didn`t last long there either, couldn`t maintain a challenge at QPR and after a spell as West Hams assistant coach, and is now looking to get back in somewhere. what's the best way of doing that? Start talking again about the only big club he`s ever worked for and hope to get noticed. He got us promoted and then was found out, that's the real story.
5.) 15 Nov 2023 20:24:44
Warburton said it in a podcast, nothing to so with weir.
6.) 15 Nov 2023 20:37:21
Cheers gor the responses guys, especially wslgers.
Well informed.
7.) 16 Nov 2023 14:36:34
I’d like to see warburton takeover an spl club and see how he gets on.
Maybe the hearts job will be up for grabs soon.
8.) 16 Nov 2023 23:05:39
Plan B is to do Plan A better. ?.
10 Oct 2023 14:52:16
Hi John227, I seen your comment earlier that you think it will be clement or jansen. Is Jansen even in the running because I've not seen him mentioned recently so wasnt sure if he's in the interview process, i'm only asking because i stuck 30 quid on it being Jansen last week then he disappeared off the radar.
1.) 10 Oct 2023 15:07:12
Baz bear he was number one choice. I’m told it’s who Bennett really wanted.
2.) 10 Oct 2023 15:36:22
I see the bookies have suspended bets for the next manager. Saying who ever it is will get a 4 year deal. If true they are certainly backing him because if it doesn’t work out it could get very expensive.
3.) 10 Oct 2023 22:35:08
John I'm not surprised if this is true when I read up on him sounded like boardroom perfect fit for club strategy.
02 Oct 2023 08:40:56
Pascal Jensen getting talked about, AZ Alkmar mgr, 2nd in Dutch league.
1.) 02 Oct 2023 09:47:31
He has done wonders there for a fairly small club in a modest size area.
2.) 02 Oct 2023 09:49:17
Potter 1st choice but can't see it
muscat why not! at least he's won something.
3.) 02 Oct 2023 10:16:19
I'm sure John mentioned him a couple of days ago.
4.) 02 Oct 2023 10:46:18
Would take him defo.
5.) 02 Oct 2023 10:55:18
Another name that could be a good option for manager is Ole Gunnar Solskjær.
But i think we need to try and get Pascal Jensen or knutsen or Muscat as they would be great options.
If Muscat comes in I could see some Japanese players arriving in Jan who he worked with like ange did with Celtic.
6.) 02 Oct 2023 12:15:53
OGS are u for real wee got rid of a idiot why hire a even worse one.
7.) 02 Oct 2023 12:18:44
Ibrox not solskaejr for me. Disaster at United.
I think Jensen.
8.) 02 Oct 2023 12:21:51
Jenson would be a decent shout. he's got AZ playing some good stuff. A fresh pair of eyes with no emotional affiliation to any of the old guard.
My only concern is he still had to work with players like Dessers and Lammers. Could be a tough few months whoever we get in.
9.) 02 Oct 2023 12:24:49
If Ole gets the job, we're in trouble.
10.) 02 Oct 2023 12:46:54
If Pascal gets the Job he might get the best out Sam Lammers as they worked together at Jong PSV.
With Desser i do see a good player in there we just need to find a structure that works i think he would be better in a 4-4-2 formation with a supporting striker and he wants to flick the ball onto someone.
11.) 02 Oct 2023 13:49:02
No offence, but when can you have seen a good player in Dessers . He misses sitters, can`t head a ball, has no pace, his touch is awful and worst of all he is hiding . He is deliberately making runs behind defenders so that he doesn`t get the ball . He was worse than a man short on Saturday .
12.) 02 Oct 2023 14:44:37
Ibrox
IMO Dessers pound for pound is one of Rangers worst buys ever going on form from his career start at Ibrox to date as wsl says he is a waste of a jersey - jeez he makes Philip Sebo look like a great buy.
13.) 02 Oct 2023 14:48:22
Dessers would be btr off in the Main Stand serving the juice, pies and bovril. Never a football player.
14.) 02 Oct 2023 15:35:30
Would not judge Ole Gunnar Solskjær on Man U ten hag will more than likely get the sack from there is he a bad manager? . Man U are a shadow of there former self.
15.) 02 Oct 2023 16:13:13
If it Ole or Lampard I’ll be disgusted, Bielsa is the Guy for me if he was interested.
16.) 02 Oct 2023 18:27:17
R1, I agree reg Ole and Lampard. Bielsa would be a decent appointment.
17.) 02 Oct 2023 19:15:43
Jensen or muscat look the 2 standout candidates for me.
18.) 02 Oct 2023 22:37:45
Jenson it is then.
19.) 02 Oct 2023 23:31:40
Based on Lampard's comments tonight I don't believe that he will be coming as our manager. He clearly wouldn't fancy the stress that goes with the job.
22 Jun 2023 08:20:24
Have I missed the Benie Traore rumour previously, just seen it today and the lad had a stellar season in Sweden, he's 20 I think from Ivory Coast and averaging almost goal a game this calendar year, saying Beale is keen and altho Transfermarket rate him at 1m, fee quoted is 4m. Somewhere in between that with a sell on might work.
1.) 22 Jun 2023 08:42:57
An alan nixon special, doubt it has kegs but would be great if it happened.
2.) 22 Jun 2023 08:43:33
A winger who scores goals?.
3.) 22 Jun 2023 08:52:17
Mph he's a cf mate.
4.) 22 Jun 2023 08:55:50
We don't play with wingers, MB never has. So doubt it?.
5.) 22 Jun 2023 09:07:05
Doesn’t look the most physically robust, my only worry with him.
6.) 22 Jun 2023 09:12:10
A cf that scores goals?.
7.) 22 Jun 2023 09:12:35
That’s good coldo because he ain’t a winger.
Matondo winger kent winger wright winger but yeah so he doesn’t play with wingers.
8.) 22 Jun 2023 09:19:05
Yeah but he doesn't play them as wingers, he plays them as 10s or Strikers??.
9.) 22 Jun 2023 09:30:54
??????.
10.) 22 Jun 2023 09:34:54
Storm I get it you and Coldo don't see eye to eye however Beale does not play the traditional right winger, left winger with a CF through the middle like Gio did. Surely you saw the change when Beale came in that Kent could go anywhere as opposed to hugging the touch line. The simple fact is if you look at the Muck's Forward line with Jota, Abada and Maeda they play as wingers and all get goals. So if we are signing players who play on the left or right then I'd expect them to get a decent return in goals.
11.) 22 Jun 2023 09:35:06
Storm we all no he played with width in the celtic game.
12.) 22 Jun 2023 09:56:51
We played with width in the celtic game ??. doesn't mean we played the winger role. we did play with width, rb lb, sometimes one of our players ran out wide?. Bang on NRD. ?.
13.) 22 Jun 2023 09:58:52
Beale you have said plenty times on here that MB doesn't play with wingers?♂️???.
14.) 22 Jun 2023 10:20:17
We always play with width?.
15.) 22 Jun 2023 10:20:35
If you use wide players they may fall of the edge or bang in to the linesman, I think this is what the "no wingers" contributor is suggesting is the managers plan. Everybody just line up in a straight line to confuse the opponent. stay safe.
16.) 22 Jun 2023 10:26:31
Cc many times do i have to repeat myself he did is the celtic game Matondo right Sakala left fasle 9 central.
17.) 22 Jun 2023 10:29:32
Very very boring going over things daily with cc.
18.) 22 Jun 2023 10:34:13
Other way about even.
19.) 22 Jun 2023 10:38:33
We never played with wingers beale, MB doesn't play with the traditional winger role. You constantly change your tune?.
20.) 22 Jun 2023 10:54:01
Sakala was in a central area of the pitch when he scored, surely if he was the traditional winger role he would be wide hugging the touchline? Just using your own logic against you beale?♂️.
21.) 22 Jun 2023 11:21:23
??????????.
22.) 22 Jun 2023 11:24:43
My take. Wingers in the old sense are deployed in a 442. In the modern sense playing with wide players means you can play with wingers but they don't have to be wingers. Laudrup was a winger but constantly had the freedom to move around. He also wasn't the fastest as Robertson was faster. Against Celtic we played with 2 wide players with pace to get in behind with a midfielder offering support basically Cantwell running about like a blue arse fly.
This brings me on to my next point. If that's how we play, set up, why bring in out and out strikers. against Celtic we had Cantwell Raskin, Lundstrum and Jack. 2 wide players. No striker. we won 3-0. get we need a plan B or a plan C. Thoughts.
23.) 22 Jun 2023 11:49:56
I agree to a certain extent Windy, as I have said before my take is even tho we lined up 433 on paper if you watched how we played cantwell dropped as a false 9 which left sakala and matondo as a front two. So we were playing 4312 41212 essentially. Sakala and matondo movement would go wide or central obviously depending on passage of play. This forced celtic to sit deep which allowed our full backs to play higher and provide more of our width.
I also think, as you say we are bringing in out and out strikers is because MB intends to play this way.
24.) 22 Jun 2023 12:04:01
Great conversation. But back to the point. Benie Traore. Is he a target?
25.) 22 Jun 2023 12:32:11
Man this is tiresome!
In FIFA terms MB doesn't play a RW amd a LW - like Celtic did under Ange.
He seems to favour playing a combination of 1, 2 or 3 'inverted' forwards behind a Striker (s) - in FIFA Terms LCF, CF or RCF.
Obviously throughout the course of a game we will have players out wide when there is space - however we don't line up with players hugging the touchline.
Sooner we get some friendlies the better.
26.) 22 Jun 2023 12:54:24
Storm I totally agree
We don't play with wingers ? what a stupid statement that is.
27.) 22 Jun 2023 13:07:20
Spot on ehl???.
28.) 22 Jun 2023 13:40:53
This is absolutely boring now trudging through threads of this every time you come on. can yous not just ignore each other instead of needing to get the last word in to feel you are right. Absolutely ruining the site.
29.) 22 Jun 2023 14:28:30
HErewego, this is one particular individual plan and has been for two years, can’t believe Ed 1 is allowing it again.
30.) 22 Jun 2023 15:35:10
As much as coldo has history john, and I've had a few run ins with him myself, he's far from the only one to blame here. Easy to just blame him the 2 of them are best just ignoring each other.
31.) 22 Jun 2023 16:55:20
Herewe I know, however I totally ignor coldo.
32.) 22 Jun 2023 20:34:21
I was original poster, can't believe a simple question about whether I'd missed something about Bennie Traore turned into such a slanging match
??.
33.) 22 Jun 2023 22:31:54
Baz Sorry mate, he just burst my baws, cool now tho done with him.
34.) 22 Jun 2023 23:39:18
It's cool Beale, can't remember if people though there was a chance of Traore coming or not now. On the plus side, I've been schooled on the dynamic formations of an organic squad. every cloud.
13 Jun 2023 07:30:39
Wee bit of chat about Brandon Vasquez,
Anyone know anything?
1.) 13 Jun 2023 08:50:40
I haven’t seen him linked with Rangers. However, he looks like the type of player Beale would go after. A big strong guy who works extremely hard off the ball and is dominant in the air. One of their fans said he has the physicality to “overpower anyone”. It also looks like he's a left-footed player with the ability to play on the RW.
2.) 13 Jun 2023 09:00:54
We were linked with him not very long ago verdant, he'll cost 6/ 8m, can't see it.
3.) 13 Jun 2023 09:24:03
Dessers is left footed and can play wide right.
4.) 13 Jun 2023 10:04:26
Dessers is right footed lammers is a lefty.
5.) 13 Jun 2023 10:10:48
Sorry bgate Dessers is left footed, Lammers both feeted, by the way verdant vasquez is right footed as well.
6.) 13 Jun 2023 10:37:09
Brandon Vasquez, Another type of player Beale would go for, was mentioned around April time
Don’t really see any up to date talk.
7.) 13 Jun 2023 11:00:00
Bgate, conflicting stories about what foot Dessers main one tranfermarket is saying right footed but read a few articles saying it his left foot.
8.) 13 Jun 2023 11:42:49
Two footed would be nice and boots on the correct feet unlike Sakala.
9.) 13 Jun 2023 12:41:52
Dessers and Lammers are strikers, they aren't RW LW CAM or any other positions, they are strikers the same as Maja.
10.) 13 Jun 2023 12:47:54
Ok Beale just assumed he was right footed as I saw a clip of him hit a penalty right footed and saw lammers hit them with his left ?.
11.) 13 Jun 2023 13:18:35
Coldo Lammers won't be playing as a 9 for us, Roofe Dessers Maja will play numbers 9's, or Maja left and Roofe right in a front three, but saying that you will obviously know better.
12.) 13 Jun 2023 13:39:39
Must be right footed then bgate lol.
13.) 13 Jun 2023 13:46:25
Yes that's right beale, I do.
14.) 13 Jun 2023 14:12:18
?I ok coldo ?.
15.) 13 Jun 2023 14:51:09
Will Lakers not be playing a 10?
16.) 13 Jun 2023 15:22:31
Lots of lammers clips have him coming off a side, pretty confident he will be doing that a lot, especially if Beale deploys the tactics used in final OF of the season.
17.) 13 Jun 2023 15:24:13
Roofe, Colak, Dessers and Maja if signed can all play 9.
4 number 9’s.
Roofe, Dessers, Lammers, Hagi, Lawrence, Cantwell, and Sakala All play across the 3 behind, left, right and central.
7 number 10s. Left, right or central. (We don’t play with wingers)
Hagi, Lawrence, Cantwell, Raskin, Cifuentes, Lundstrum, and Jack can all play in the 8 role.
7 number 8’s.
Raskin, Cifuentes, Lundstrum and Jack can all play in the holding midfield role.
4 holding mids.
We are absolutely covered in all midfield and attacking positions.
There is so much room to change things up mid game and play players in a variety of ways.
As Beale always refers to it - hybrid players.
We will see lundtrum even move into the back 3 when needed.
Tav and Ridvan as wing backs.
Two central strikers up top.
So many options.
And we don’t have a lot of similar players. Everyone offers something different in my opinion.
It’s encouraging.
18.) 13 Jun 2023 15:37:09
I personally think he will stingo or maybe wide in a front three.
19.) 13 Jun 2023 15:50:17
I forgot Dowell. He can play across the 3 behind the striker and in the number 8 role.
20.) 13 Jun 2023 16:57:22
Missed lowry and Maja can definitely play on the left side of the front three King.
21.) 13 Jun 2023 18:59:27
Beale dessers is capable with both feet two and given thier. records and styles it's more. limely dessers plays as the main forward. not lammers.
22.) 14 Jun 2023 00:53:05
I'm saying that gofor 10 our out wide.
Bazbear73's banter posts with other poster's replies to Bazbear73's banter posts
08 Dec 2023 15:47:49
See Danilo injured again and could be out for a bit, if Roofe breaks down again we might have to play Sima through the middle, or Lammers/ Dessers?
1.) 08 Dec 2023 17:28:48
Having to play sima through middle wouldn't be the worst thing that's happened, need to bring someone in January which isn't far away we will get bye.
23 Nov 2023 09:21:19
Interesting article today saying that Lammers transfer value has gone up from the 3m we paid to 5.3m.
I've sang his praises on here stating that I believe there is definitely a player there and sometimes felt a bit of a lone voice, although I know there are a few others.
For me, he is athletic and hard working, tracks back and clearly has skill, if his confidence grows and he settles in more under the manager he now has, I think that the 3m will be a clever buy, time will tell.
1.) 23 Nov 2023 10:24:14
I still think he's no where near good enough. Who really struggles to score goals. Hoping with lawrence back fit his appearances are limited.
2.) 23 Nov 2023 10:34:33
That's good to know Baz, I'm not sure how those sites work out the transfer value of players.
I suppose the old adage applies, he's worth what someone is willing to pay for him.
It's nice to see some positive comments on his performances. I was concerned about him and Dessers so hopefully PC gets a good tune out of them.
3.) 23 Nov 2023 10:43:43
No way he's worth anything near £5m. The £3m we paid was too much lol.
He has the odd glimpse of skill here or there and then falls over.
No way he is of the level required at Rangers. Maybe time will tell.
Almost everyone slags Wright off yet he does more for the team than Lammers has ever done and no one is valuing him near £5m lol.
4.) 23 Nov 2023 11:01:58
Definitely initially when we signed him and during preseason he seemed like the pick of the bunch.
5.) 23 Nov 2023 11:13:09
I could write an article saying he is worth 100million doesn’t make it true.
A player is only worth what another club is willing to pay for them.
6.) 23 Nov 2023 11:31:44
I agree baz there’s a player in there, Work ethic can’t be questioned he’ll come good.
7.) 23 Nov 2023 11:43:13
I guess the important thing is that our manager rates him highly enough to play him.
Let’s see if he continues to get significant game time as others regain fitness and through early next year following the January window.
For me, he is an invisible workhorse who does the non-glamorous stuff and goes unappreciated by many.
8.) 23 Nov 2023 11:26:47
Rangers signed Lammers for 3+m he now valued at 2.5m euros on tranfermarkit, so he'll actually went down in value since his transfer.
9.) 23 Nov 2023 12:35:50
100 million rupees ?.
10.) 23 Nov 2023 12:39:20
Be lucky if we get half our money back on him, don't think there is going to be a queue of clubs looking to sign him in jan, any club who might be interested . will be in relegation trouble don't think Lammers is type you need in that situation.
11.) 23 Nov 2023 12:49:40
Sounds like click bait nonsense to me but if somebody wants to pay £5 million for him, get him sold.
12.) 23 Nov 2023 13:01:27
He wasn't signed to be a workhorse DK. He's a number 10 who was signed to add goals and assists to the team not run about like a headless chicken.
13.) 23 Nov 2023 13:01:59
Noticed EF paid more for his loan than the fee we paid for Lammers.
14.) 23 Nov 2023 13:52:08
56 clement, totally agree mate keep seeing people posting that his work rate off the ball is brillant, if that's all we have to say about a guy that plays in his position, that as you say was brought here to score/ create goals, then something isn't rite surely.
15.) 23 Nov 2023 15:02:41
"Invisible workhouse"? Christ alive! There's putting a spin on something, then there's this.
16.) 23 Nov 2023 15:02:57
There is hint of a player in lammers, maybe it’s a confidence thing. Still a chance he could come into some good form. the one that really worries me is dessers. Haven’t seen anything in this guys game to even contemplate he might be a player. his first touch is absolutely terrible, he can’t link up play, slow as a week in the jail, couldn’t score in a barrel of you know what . How long did we sign this guy up for? because I think we’re stuck with him as there’s no team in their right mind have looked at him n thought” oh aye there’s a player” . Is he unsellable? Who knows.
17.) 23 Nov 2023 15:22:50
Sorry guys, I forgot that a successful team only has superstars who play like Messi.
18.) 23 Nov 2023 16:32:37
***workhorse***.
19.) 23 Nov 2023 18:23:42
A bizarre signing from day one. he scored 5 goals in 3 years and yet the wonderful Mr Beale decided to sign him. I don't know who's worse, Beale or Lammers.
20.) 23 Nov 2023 18:33:12
Workhorse ? nearly as bad as assisting the assister.
21.) 24 Nov 2023 06:12:27
I can mind folk on here said dessers and lammers will score barrel loads, who's going to own up.
22.) 24 Nov 2023 08:00:41
That’s true king I wasn’t want as I didn’t know much about them.
23.) 24 Nov 2023 08:30:35
King after seeing him play I believe dessers can score for us. Whether he stays is another debate.
24.) 24 Nov 2023 09:39:42
King, I've learned never to say anything like that on here for obvious reasons, but I do recall saying that Lammers really impressed me in any past clips I've seen of him. Oops, shouldn't have said that! Incoming! ?.
25.) 24 Nov 2023 10:38:59
Remember dessers being likened to Brian laudrup?
Thought that was a stretch.
I likened him to de Boer/ amato.
Think that’s a fair likeness tbh just not as good as either, but as in the style, think that’s a good assessment.
26.) 24 Nov 2023 12:56:19
It dessers sorry, I meant lammers.
30 Oct 2023 17:38:36
Just been reading that Stuart Webber has left the Norwich D of F role, he handed his notice in the summer but has left early. Apparently did a great job at Norwich . It also says he is going to climb Everest, unless that's a euphemism for the Gers job.
29 Oct 2023 18:00:04
I know captain Tav gets some stick. He's not the best defender in the world obviously and he can take chances in his own half that maybe he shouldn't but that is balls of steel smashing thar 2nd penalty in and although some of his crosses in a windy ibrox were woeful, that ball to Danilo was just world class. Love Danilo but anyone else notice the ball bounced down off the mask? This could be a real turning point. Beat Dundee and rampant St Mirren take something midweek then pump Hearts at hampden on Sunday and what a fortnight. the optimistic Baz is back.
1.) 29 Oct 2023 18:14:25
Welcome back baz,
I like your positivity
Come on the Gers

2.) 29 Oct 2023 18:17:50
His masks gona make contact it’s massive ? his movement was the most impressive bit of the goal for me.
3.) 29 Oct 2023 18:48:31
Well done Tav, had gave up on my build a bet, Tav to score/ Lundstrum to be booked/ +10corners/ over 2.5 goals, happy day alround, let hope we win mid week.

Agree R1, movement in to out was awesome, identical to Shankland for the 1st goal, I'd sell dessers for 2m to Italy and buy Shankland, league won in one purchase.
22 Oct 2023 10:41:30
See a few sites saying we value Butland at 5m, I know we have no plans to sell but surely he must be value 3 times that?
1.) 22 Oct 2023 10:55:01
I doubt that, but then we were told on here cantwell raskin and cifuentes all 20 million each
Butland allegedly has a 4 million sell on clause.
2.) 22 Oct 2023 11:07:24
Sell on clause or release clause?
Who does the sell on money go to?
3.) 22 Oct 2023 11:21:59
Dado the money goes to rangers who else.
4.) 22 Oct 2023 11:24:16
John that was me that said that, they perform much will they leave for?
5.) 22 Oct 2023 12:01:38
Unfortunately 20-30m pretty much standard price from even average players in prem. Doesn't matter what they paid they'll still expect a healthy profit. It's how they've been so successful. No way we can begin to compete with those fees but getting some quality loans even from a season is good business. Just hopefully of a higher standard than those in recent years.

My understanding of a sell on clause was in relation to the player’s previous club. I thought you were suggesting a £4m sell on clause to his previous club.
Apologies it was an honest question.
7.) 22 Oct 2023 12:16:38
I’d say around 10. Each. On a good day.
8.) 22 Oct 2023 12:41:35
Probably spot on John am far to ambitious lol.
9.) 22 Oct 2023 12:51:17
Dado my info was butland who was a free agent asked that a 4 million clause be in his contract.
Good business from him and us. A player for nothing that we may or may not get 4 million for.
10.) 22 Oct 2023 12:55:07
My star nothing wrong with ambition
If we got 10 for each of them it’s more than 25 million profit.
11.) 22 Oct 2023 13:01:13
Yeah I guess that’s a catch 22 scenario. He’s probably worth more however, if we didn’t add a release clause then I guess he wouldn’t have signed.
I hope he’s our keeper for a sustained period of time, he’s a great keeper.
12.) 22 Oct 2023 13:43:19
Cifu got a bit to go to prove he's a 2 mill player never mind 10? When he's fit and everybody fit really don't see him starting much imo.
13.) 22 Oct 2023 13:46:53
I think Butland will be offered an improved contract before start of next season.
If he accepts it the £4m release clause will likely be off the table so we can expect around £10m.
14.) 22 Oct 2023 14:20:10
Butland is a much better quality keeper than many in the EPL. I can't see him going to Birmingham, he is capable of doing a lot better.
Despite the wealthy ownership, I see them struggling to gain promotion and suspect that they will be in the lower half of the league come the end of the Season; a case of going for a 'Big name' rather than a quality coach.
15.) 22 Oct 2023 14:21:44
Are we trying to encourage a buyer on here, Butland, I don't think will go anywhere this season, English Championship under Rooney, a Celtic Fan, who is just trying to unsettle Rangers, or, playing in Europe with Rangers, hopefully into the knockout stages of the Europa League, and the possibility of CL Group Football should we win the league this season.
16.) 22 Oct 2023 14:59:46
Dout Rooney cares about us tbh he’s probably been to Celtic park once in his life.
17.) 22 Oct 2023 15:12:25
We already pay butland 35k.
18.) 22 Oct 2023 16:16:04
Yip John but he signed 3 year deal and has a terrible injury record.
Might suit him to sign an extension to guarantee him safety of contract.
Wouldn’t be against paying him extra £5k if it means him extending contract and taking the £4m release out.
Make it £10m.
There is parts which will suit player aswell as club.
08 Dec 2023 17:49:10
What nonsense Davidb, he's scored in Europe and looks the part, who are you watching.
08 Dec 2023 15:43:28
He was getting a wee bit of stick at start of season but I remember that outrageous back heel volley in one of the early games that almost came off, he's fast, composed, strong, good in the air and has 12 goals off the wing, he's worth 5 million nae bother, he also was able to stand up when everyone else was crumbl8ng so he's got the mentality, tracks back too, if Kent was 6.5m then Sima must be worth at least that and we can sell on after a few years.
03 Dec 2023 10:41:04
I've stuck up for Lammers mostly but I can see why people can't take to him, even if he's being played out of position but surely people can see heat Cifuentes is a good buy at the price, in a new continent, had an injury and still early, there's a lot better players who struggled to settle initially and went on to be big players for us, he's also been brought in by a manager who was subsequently sacked so it can be unnerving. Not saying his performances have been stellar but he's not really had a run yet.
23 Nov 2023 09:32:02
I'm with My Star, I was really looking forward to cifuentes coming,
I think we always kinda expect these guys to settle in and hit the ground running buy, he's moved across the world to a club that demands more than most other clubs. He came into a team struggling with confidence and had niggling injuries, also we often say for that money they should go straight into team but nowadays what we spend, even if its 4.5m, doesn't buy that. You get untried talent that have potential or guys who have had a bad couple of years after impressing or someone with a potential injury risk. I love Sima and hope we can get him maybe another loan or cut a deal for maybe 2-3m, but I also think if Cifuentes gets a chance we could have a real influencer in middle of park.
21 Nov 2023 16:45:26
Dunno if we can take the credit for rice's development, did we not get him from Motherwell.
10 Dec 2023 16:59:05
Why would anyone leave when it's entirely possible to win a treble and be in champions league next year.
08 Dec 2023 15:45:18
Think the general consensus is a no deecee, good post. Only a few on here want him back, loved him a few years ago but hard to forgive his attitude in final year. you never know though.
07 Dec 2023 21:20:56
I know Storm but he still hit the last man, same difference. I like the boy and think he's good, just needs a proper run. Think he played for Dutch champions last 2 years too.
07 Dec 2023 20:27:08
Agree Cifu starting to settle in a bit, but how bad are we in the air in general, it looks like players are trying to jump into the opposing player rather than attack the ball, maybe with exception of sima or soutar.
07 Dec 2023 20:23:38
Yilmaz done OK, but I was impressed with Sterling when he came on, thought Lundstrum was good again. What I did like was seeing it out, the amount of chances we missed I really thought it was going to come back to bite us, good 3 points.
