Story coming out now that Adeji clause not activated by Lorient and actually they would struggle to pay the release now they've been relegated, apologies if this has been stated previously. If we can still get him, think it will be a coup.
1.) 15 Jun 2024 10:54:01
Actually just read that his move to France is complete, so who knows.
2.) 15 Jun 2024 10:57:25
Everything online says he's signed for them already?
3.) 15 Jun 2024 12:20:35
Daily rag says we are still in for him and he hasn't signed for anyone yet. who knows what's going on .
4.) 15 Jun 2024 12:39:07
I read a story just an hour ago that he'd signed for Lorient.
5.) 15 Jun 2024 12:43:51
Until we see the scarf that's when I believe somdys signed, all the rags n that all contradict each other so who knows until you see those strip n scarf pics.
6.) 15 Jun 2024 12:48:51
Hes being unveiled as a lorient player.
7.) 15 Jun 2024 14:09:11
55 Lorient haven’t unveiled him but reports are he has signed for them.
8.) 15 Jun 2024 16:23:30
Just posted this also bazbear. seems strange and possibly player himself could be deliberately holding up the deal possibly.
9.) 15 Jun 2024 16:36:52
On their webpage it says:
"Nathaniel Adjei continues his adventure in FC Lorient".
But who knows if we were after him?
10.) 15 Jun 2024 16:38:30
Hammarby have confirmed lorient signed him.
01 Jan 2024 19:50:41
Definite interest in Josh Doig, I was a bit sceptical but if its genuine, I think it's a sign that we mean business. 21, so could be our left back for 10 years, yilmaz sale could fund most of it.
1.) 01 Jan 2024 20:08:13
Hope this happens, exactly the sort of player we should be targeting.
2.) 01 Jan 2024 20:16:31
Baz this imo would be a great move.
3.) 01 Jan 2024 21:16:11
It’s just a pity we didn’t take a punt on him when he was at Hibs and got him cheaper. Lots of good Scottish talent we’ve let go abroad without showing an interest in.
4.) 01 jan 2024 21:47:10
fed up saying it, we have plenty cash and will spend.
5.) 01 Jan 2024 22:03:43
Hate to say it, but we would not have developed him the way he has come on.
6.) 01 Jan 2024 22:15:05
Correct bar72. Barasic would still have been getting played no doubt.
7.) 01 Jan 2024 22:25:06
Big Phil gets we need a Scottish spine and Scottish quality. I’m happy with this, Barron, McKenna and hopefully Denkey (one came dream ??)
8.) 01 Jan 2024 23:21:58
I had posted on a previous thread that he only has 2 assists in 34 starts in Italy.
That’s very poor for a modern fullback.
I’m not so sure I want him now.
9.) 01 Jan 2024 23:39:09
I'm with you John, liked him at hibs and time in Italy can only have made him better, I don't think we get him for much under 5m but he's dynamic, up and down that wing all day, and scottish so what looks like a big outlay is money well spent imo, recoup most of it my moving on Yilmaz and its clever business.
10.) 01 Jan 2024 23:41:39
Was speaking to an Italian guy I know that's up to date on most things in Italian football. Has a few contacts in the game, media and scouting agencies that are involved in the game there and his opinion is Doig is one of the top young full backs over there. If he come it will be with a decent sell on clause. I'm hopeful of this as my hibs pal thinks he would be one of the best full backs in the country.
11.) 01 jan 2024 23:55:17
italian football and british football are vastly different stevie, they play differently, and there's no way in the world doigs only ever put 2 crosses inti the box, or nit been involved in build ups that lead to goals, you should never trust these type of stats, if you did then many players would look rubbish, italians don't just expect the fb to belt down the wing and punt the ball in, like tav does,
12.) 02 Jan 2024 00:56:28
It’s a potty yilmaz must be sold I thought he had a great game the old firm.
13.) 02 Jan 2024 06:50:02
Josh doig is a good left full back and i hope we can sign him ? He's better than yilmaz for me ?.
14.) 02 Jan 2024 07:41:42
saw on twitter mls reporter says we're linked with teenage hadebe apparently left back / centre half.
15.) 02 Jan 2024 08:44:59
Unfortunately I just don't see him coming back to Scotland - same as Lewis Ferguson. There's teams in England looking at Doig.
16.) 02 Jan 2024 08:58:37
I think Doig would improve the starting 11 - hope this one is true.
17.) 02 Jan 2024 09:14:56
Hope Doig is true, Good player for his age with plenty of potential.
18.) 02 Jan 2024 11:10:25
Interesting to see if we sign Doig permanently or as I read in a previous post - loan with an option to buy.
19.) 02 Jan 2024 15:03:48
few other clubs in for Doig
Bologna have bid 6 mill euros and Torino now being front runners for his signature with a 7 mill euros bid already.
Doubt we will be matching those bids.
My bet is he will stay in italy and only get better.
Can't blame the lad. Serie A or the SPFL, hardly rocket science.
20.) 02 Jan 2024 18:20:25
Not a chance for me sws.
15 Nov 2023 17:11:10
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.

So it looks like it's finally moving, great post by Sydneyger on rumours, make a lot of sense. We may have to struggle a bit start of the season, but we'll come out the other end with an improved stadium and a much improved wage cost and average age of team.
I think we'll start to see Clement's style when we have the players to implement it. Goldson has been running the dressing room for years, the reason Katic was booted out so not sad to see him move on to another chapter. Like Cantwell but he's another liability, too hot and cold but there's a player there so should get cash for him.
I like the way it's being run, get rid of the dead wood b4 building, I'm for giving PC and Koppen time and for giving the new team and players time, if Barron and Diomande are a sign of things to come, bring it on.
1.) 25 Jul 2024 08:49:28
Dont rate diomande that highly tbh not done anything really to suggest he's going to be great for us. Were crying out for jordan from seville. Desperate for centre halfs and right winger also.
2.) 25 Jul 2024 08:57:50
Yes but we don’t have the players or can’t afford them.
3.) 25 Jul 2024 09:36:51
Good players exist that aren't expensive. Glen kamara, Joe aribo and calvin bassey come to mind. All bought for a total of not even £1m. Sold on for about 30 million total.
4.) 25 Jul 2024 10:22:42
Paul I attend to agree with you on Diomande not seen anything from him at all looks very light weight on ball
Sometimes I wonder where we find them from.
5.) 25 Jul 2024 10:39:21
Diomande will be a cracker signing for us, I've seen many good things from him, young lad strange country but you can definitely spot his ability.
6.) 25 Jul 2024 10:51:00
Defo has footballing ability, it’s his concentration and awareness of what’s going on around him that let's him down. definitely cannot play in a 2 man central mf.
7.) 25 Jul 2024 10:59:47
I think Dio will be one of the shining lights along with Sterling.
8.) 25 Jul 2024 11:23:14
Highlighted my doubts last year especially against Celtic, but improved in the SC final when he had raskin playing next to him. Maybe needs players on his wave length around him. Barron is a prospect who should get better, however not expecting Ryan Jack talent yet.
9.) 25 jul 2024 16:08:13
thats the end for diomande then.
10.) 25 Jul 2024 16:31:22
Diomande does the simple things exceptionally for me he’s a forward thinking glen kamara.
04 Jul 2024 09:01:46
Any thoughts on medical staff in general guys, injuries especially but also players taking longer recovery times. Big Helander couldn't stay fit then goes elsewhere and plays a full season and it's been happening for years. Apparently Jack fit for months but didn't play when we probably could have done with him, towards end of Gio, think Goldson out for a while then Beale comes in and he's remarkablely fit again. There's a big list,
My question is, is it just bad luck and too much player power in today's football or have we been let down by the medical staff severely.
Just a wee question to distract from the usual transfer merry go round.
1.) 04 Jul 2024 09:35:16
It’s difficult to know exactly what’s going on behind the scenes.
What we do know for a fact is that we are without key men in big moments of the season and this has hurt us badly. Its been the last two or three seasons so something is wrong, I just feel there is a really bad culture around the playing staff which means it’s acceptable to be injured, it’s not . We cannot have so many players out for so long it’s not right. Top level sportspeople are seldom 100% fit but sometimes you need to play through the pain barrier. Individual sportspeople who have to compete for prize money are far less injured than team players, is that a fact or have I just made it up.
2.) 04 Jul 2024 09:36:14
Imo, there's something badly wrong with the medical department.
3.) 04 Jul 2024 09:37:27
Im not sure if it is Medical staff or the fitness and training regime which Clement appeared to allude to. It will be interesting to see if we still have the same number of injury and recovery issues after a full pre season of coaching under Clement and his team.
With Jack and others they also had pre-existing issues and I do wonder if they were initially rushed back too soon because of a lack of depth in our squad. By necessity we signed guys like Roofe in the hope that their quality would outshine their injury Wes and the general quality of player signed under Wilson was poor, so a combination of issues for me.
4.) 04 Jul 2024 10:23:12
If Jack was fit then you need to ask why. Pc wasn’t playing him and sees him everyday in training.
5.) 04 Jul 2024 10:53:46
Was that not one of the points PC raised when he just came in the door, about basically overhauling the meds team and training regime?
6.) 04 Jul 2024 11:50:18
If there was a league table for medical we’d be relegated. I’m surprised more fans aren’t annoyed at our medical staff. It’s an absolute joke. It’s not solely the fitness regime because it was bad with Gio as well. If it’s one season you can say it’s bad luck not for 3 seasons in a row.
7.) 04 Jul 2024 12:11:44
For me the problem when Clement came in was he wasnt able to give players returning from injury the time he wanted to allow them to fully recover as we had fresh injuries. In an ideal world players would have got more time before playing full 90 minutes and definitely more time before playing a run of games.
For me our squad didn't have the balance we needed to cope with so many injuries.
8.) 04 Jul 2024 12:49:08
He did say that fork, made me think he had an idea of what was wrong.
9.) 04 Jul 2024 13:28:25
Not sure what's going on in our medical Deptartment.
Would b interesting to know how many, if any, of our players are asked to play regularly through injury with injections?
Anyone who has experience in dealing with this sort of practice will tell u it can often present as a dip in form or indeed a noticeable difference in early pace.
Players are usually reluctant to discuss the matter for obvious reasons.
It's a bit of a double whammy if the fans are on their back afterwards though due to them being unable to give off their best.
10.) 04 Jul 2024 13:55:18
Totti we had players who declared not available to play or train on a regular basis. Cheated the fans
Look at barisic last week told his Turkish club he had a niggle could not train. Got a scan there and then told to get out there and start running.
11.) 04 Jul 2024 14:46:19
That's unbelievable John! That's what should have happened to him here. If he thinks he can pull that crap out there, he's about to get a large dose of reality.
12.) 04 Jul 2024 14:49:52
If some players have been feigning injury that's unforgivable.
Anyone that signs for Rangers should make themselves aware of the history and the standards required at the club.
13.) 04 Jul 2024 15:16:20
Very good question and something that needs answered. Our injury list was horrendous and players just weren't recovering. Look at Celtic, Mcgregor was due to be a long term injury but back within a few weeks. It can't just all be down to bad luck - something wrong somewhere.
14.) 04 Jul 2024 15:59:08
John that made me laugh. Glad he ain't our problem anymore.
For old times sake. BB is a dirty sh*tbag.
15.) 04 Jul 2024 17:02:14
Mark
We don't know club policy on injuries. Could be club raised bar on player return and refuse to return players to full training until 110% fit again without injections etc. Or worst case scenario some players working it. Club/ PC should identify them and let them join long list of exits out door.
16.) 04 Jul 2024 17:12:00
Miller. That’s why Colak helander roofe Jack Barisic no longer with us,
Conversely lundstrum Goldson Souttar took jags regular to be available.
17.) 04 Jul 2024 17:45:15
CF5 posted months ago the medical department was a mess.
18.) 04 Jul 2024 18:00:35
Alfredo as well played thru injury John when
Colak wouldn’t.
19.) 04 Jul 2024 18:06:18
I remember the summer Dr Mark rejoined and we had some on here claiming he'd be the best signing of that summer now iv no idea about who does what but clearly we have problems getting players back to fitness after injury and that's on the full medical dept.
20.) 04 Jul 2024 19:29:31
Helander had a foot injury that Steven Gerrard said at the time was a really unique injury, having missed the whole season with it, he was unlucky his contract was due for renewal and we chose not to. If Jack was fit then why is that a problem with the medical department, it was Clement who chose not to pick him, my belief is he was saving himself for Scotland and look where that got him, a holiday in Germany. Goldson badly tore a thigh muscle and was pushed into playing by Beale in the first game of the season despite missing pre season training and the very few friendlies we did play, he has never been properly fit all season because of it. Never mind mate, don`t let the facts get in the way of a good story, you could be a journalist.
21.) 04 Jul 2024 20:12:07
The medical department ain’t at fault for players getting injured.
22.) 04 Jul 2024 20:58:27
Alfredo was a man down half the time, how some fans worship him is cringey.
23.) 05 Jul 2024 16:07:10
Fair comment storm re Alfredo.
O Walter, primarily it’s on the player as well, u r correct saying some on here said we would never have anymore injuries and Waller would be a future captain.
17 May 2024 08:56:17
Sorry, hit send by mistake,
1.4m on Cifu, think the majority thought that would be a great outlay.
Dessers 5m euros, good goalscoring return. If he'd played first half of season like second, I think he'd be a fan fave. Danilo, looks good to me, time will tell, Lammers just didn't get it at Rangers but when you see how he's doing in Holland, it's fair to see why he was bought. Also Sima on loan, I think we'd have won the league if he hadn't been out since Jan. Overall all, maybe it was the reliance on some the core of an aging and tired defense and defensive midfield rather than the incoming. I'm positive about what next year brings, we can't keep changing manager every year, still think Gio let go too soon, and in hindsight, maybe a few stalwarts downed tools for him too.
1.) 17 May 2024 09:44:06
Baz - good balanced post.
The tendency sometimes is to look at new signings for someone to blame but definitely think the old guard are past their best and need refreshed with some fresh blood.
2.) 17 May 2024 10:02:41
Gio wasn’t let go too soon the football we play under him was horrendous.
3.) 17 May 2024 11:27:18
Good post baz.
4.) 17 May 2024 11:37:04
Really Storm, because I remember the football in Europe was the best anyone had seen for a bit.
5.) 17 May 2024 11:53:22
Gio or Beale. you all know the answer .
6.) 17 May 2024 12:02:55
Baz, he was getting dogs abuse for the football he played here.
7.) 17 May 2024 12:03:56
Baz the league every season is main priority how was the football in the league. ?
8.) 17 May 2024 12:05:40
Gio got us to a European final, won a Scottish cup. The football under his successors hasn’t exactly been eye-catching! definitely got hung out to dry!
9.) 17 May 2024 12:45:14
Fair point but remember MB rarely even played 3 of his own signings. Gio was undone by disaster in defence having to go with Sands and King.
10.) 17 May 2024 14:35:25
Kaiser, that didn’t because us to play horrible football in the league tho.
11.) 17 May 2024 14:58:47
Baz, domestically we were poor under Gio.
17 May 2024 08:47:50
Just thinking about what was apparently a disaster of a transfer window last year,
Butland, Sterling, Dowell and Balogen all free, I'd say they range from a couple of amazing frees, a couple of decent frees but been injured too much.
1.4m on Cif.
1.) 17 May 2024 09:19:29
I remember Rangers players could have walked into most EPL teams, Butcher, GVB, etc, the only only we have now is Butland . The standard of players that we can afford now is massively lower, thus we must scout different leagues, like Eastern Europe, Japan, and bring through young players like McCausland, Fraser.
I know these are old arguments but they still stand?
2.) 17 May 2024 11:36:49
How many players would get into other mob's team? That's telling that poss only 1 would get in.
3.) 17 May 2024 12:04:22
Butland and that’s it.
4.) 17 May 2024 19:28:28
Butland and Sterling.
11 May 2024 11:12:27
Looking forward to the game, not si nervous today as I think most neutrals thinking Celtic have got it so in my mind all the pressure on them. If they don't win it from here or indeed from a 7 point lead a while back, they'll get torn apart. Hoping the boys stand up and get the victory, would love Dessers to get a couple and a 3 goal win to take us top would just be delightful. If we don't get over the line, I'm looking forward to how next season will look. That's not being defeatist just perspective. c'mon the gers.
24 Jul 2024 18:01:13
Dutch media reporting 4.2m, around 5m euros, don't think we're paying up his contract because twenty can pay his wages. If this is true, then great bit of business to make a profit on someone we don't want and might put to rest some of the ridiculous rumours kicking about, looks like there's many ins and out waiting to happen, it just takes time.

Rfconeform, none us were complaining the first 6 months of signing Raskin and Cantwell and we'll still make money on them, cifuentes is an enigma was a sought after player and we thought it was a real coup getting him.
Hindsight is a wonderful thing but I can see why a lot of our purchases were made, even Dessers, Lammers.

Good post RFC8673,
Makes a lot of sense, I want the club to run well and the biggest cost is the astronomical wages, I get that sometimes how we get players in, especially on a free but likes of goldson and lundstrum.
Matondo sticks out but then I suppose with his coat previously, they maybe thought they could make money on him.
I think we'll get rid of a few in next week or so then we'll start to see a couple come in. I know we all want loads of guys in but this is a solid approach and I believe the guys in at the moment can get it right.

I'm surprised we didn't go for that, 1.5m not exactly blockbuster.

It was back in 2021, he says that in the interview.

He's hardly going to say anything else while they're still our players, otherwise people will be offering 2 ginger bottles for them.

I'm an insomniac Fork so I find your comment offensive, that's you done for the day ??.

Think SydneyGer said with sales taken into account, if cantwell, Dessers, Wright, Davies, Lawrence go, you could be looking at bringing in possibly 15m, with another 10m spent for a total rebuild with purchases structured over a few years as usual.
Also made good money in Europe last year and probably this year, wages significantly down too. There's also a real possibility of money coming in for Tav and Goldson.
Don't think Sydney is that far off the mark with his post.

Good article MPH, balanced points.
I'd keep butland, sterling, Balogen, Yilmaz, soutar, diomande, raskin, sima, cortes, danilo, bring in some pace and youth and see where we are, be good to see how some progress under PC, worth noting Sima was being slated first 10 games.
