Morning folks, spoke to a pal and former player last night for the first time in a while, and of course the topic of transfers came up, he's not directly in the know and will likely be drip fed bits and bobs from other former employees and he doesn't share much with me regarding this, although he was the one that told me about Steve Davis house hunting a week before the story of him coming back broke, so pinch of salt that was a while ago.
Steven Alzate very much being considered, depends on David Weir offering him a new contract or not, that would determine pre contract or loan.
Galatasaray have made contact with Yilmaz, and Barasic is being looked at on a pre contract from Dinamo Zagreb, so left back will be a priority, nothing shocking there, but the name I was told was Gijs Smal, haven't been on in a while so apologies if this name has already been brought up. Says he hasn't heard anything about Owen Beck.
The Batshuayi news came out of the blue, but says not to dismiss it entirely yet, but a striker is on the January shopping list.
Nothing mentioned about Shankland, or the winger from Vitese but again he won't hear or know everything or maybe knows nothing but was an interesting wee chat anyway and thought I'd pass it on.
Also happy new year folks hope you all had a good one and here's to your health.

Cheers ger88 , informative post, follow follow.


2.) 11 Jan 2024 10:12:21
Good info Ger88. Thank you.


3.) 11 Jan 2024 12:21:31
Cheers guys, hope you're both well.


4.) 11 Jan 2024 12:22:28
Nearly had a heart atrack for a min i thot u saod we were offering davis a new deal ??.


5.) 11 Jan 2024 12:23:04
Be honest mate you’ve no spoke to no one, every bit of info you’ve stated has also been stated on FF and everywhere else, literally.


6.) 11 Jan 2024 12:48:52
Id like the Belgian boy that used to play for Chelsea, as I don’t think Shankland is realistic in this window. So we’d have to take some kind of risk anyway, so a guy that has scored in a lot of top level leagues and has a 1 outta 2 ratio with his country isn’t the worst idea! Plus he has a point to prove to get into the Belgian side. But I know we’ve been stung before.

I just think Dessers is pure rotten! We’re no winning any league with him upfront! Stating the obvious I know. This is just my personal opinion- if we have to take a gamble, take a gamble on a someone proven. Yes I get his wages are big, but it’s only 6 months, and could help in Europe.

If what the reports are saying is true and we were offered him, and turned it down! I would hope Rangers re consider. Especially if it’s only loans we’re looking at! Then I’d like Shankland in the summer. When the price might be lower. And if it’s no the Belgian boy I would like to see someone like that. Only if Defoe was 8 years younger, I was a huge fan of Jermain Defoe.

Famous good way to start off posting, slag off another person who is only, passing on a rumour to rumour page.


8.) 11 Jan 2024 14:55:19
thefamous, I have never been on FF or use Facebook. Paul sorry mate ?.


9.) 11 Jan 2024 15:04:54
And fyi, my friend is a commercial executive for an spfl league club, and formerly held a similar position with a premiership club, which is where he met the former McLeish era rangers player and became friends with, and through the odd game of fives that's how i met him, speculate and doubt all you want, but i won't be name dropping and unlike you thefamous will happily enjoy engaging and offering something to the site, unlike you. ??.


10.) 11 Jan 2024 17:45:43
Good to see my comment hasn’t bothered you pal lol no slagging anyone, just saying every bit of info you’re passing off as ITK is and has literally been in circulation for weeks/ days ??.


11.) 11 Jan 2024 18:05:37
Why is it when some people come onto a Rumour page and state what they have heard and from where. They are shot down and challanged where they heard the rumours from.

We all want the best for our club and this is a Rumours Page. So don't go shooting down people when they post.

I myself have heard that Clement will make use of more of our youth players, to develop them further. Also coming in this transfer window will be a striker and not someone who has played for Chelsea. Also left back and centre half and if Raskin is sold this window a defensive midfielder will be brought in. Hopefully someone who can control a ball and pass well.


12.) 11 Jan 2024 18:58:28
Galatasary most definitely want Yilmaz as I have mentioned previously and as I understand it, Fernabahce should not be dismissed, (although whether this is just mischief making on their part I'm not sure) .
It was suggested to me that this is where the Batshuyi rumour emanated from, (that a loan deal for Batshuyi would be part of the deal) . Presumably the deal would be structured in such away where Rangers could avoid any sell on clause or additional payment to Besiktas. (I am not affair with the terms of Yilmaz original transfer so cannot comment further on this) .


13.) 11 Jan 2024 20:31:10
Hasn't rattled me at all mate, as I've said if you can read properly I haven't been on here in a while, so apologies if any has been previously mentioned, and there doesn't seem to be anything shocking or out of the box with what I passed on, and that's just it, a couple wee bits of info to pass on, you know, to a rumours site, whether true or not is anyone's guess, but that's how this site works mate, so tru to get on board and work that out.

21 Mar 2023 00:08:52
Portobello u15 striekr Filip Skorb due to join us on trial shortly, already had "successful" trial with Leeds, investing big on the long term future good to see.

Ger88

1.) 21 Mar 2023 09:49:42
How good is this if English clubs can come in a pay a development fee only? Or am I missing something?


2.) 21 Mar 2023 11:44:31
It is players we need for first team for new season, never mind the long term.


3.) 21 Mar 2023 12:16:00
Does anyone know what is happening with Thompson Ishaka? John27?


4.) 21 Mar 2023 12:49:06
I’ve heard deal done from 1/ 7. May be playing as trialist in Ireland this weekend Rabbi.


5.) 21 Mar 2023 13:05:45
Staunch we always need to have an eye on the future, or are you one of these short sighted people that would prefer we go back to financial mismanagement?


6.) 21 Mar 2023 15:53:12
La Cala, how do u not complain when rangers snap up 15 plus players for development fee.


7.) 21 Mar 2023 16:17:30
That's great news John, he undoubtedly had the talent from the snippets I've seen, hopefully he's got the mentality too. Could be big profit for the future.


8.) 21 Mar 2023 19:05:43
Youth players for first team?


What is that?

?

As if! Youth team are Small developing fee business that's all.


9.) 21 Mar 2023 21:02:45
If we didn't buy youth we wouldn't have Lovelace or Rice just a couple and many more, don't understand fans that don't see the point of bringing talented boys in, we've definitely stepped up in bringing quality youngster in, Ishaka looks a talent.


10.) 22 Mar 2023 00:55:54
Lennon Miller that’s at Motherwell is another we are trying to attract. Kids a player and big interest from down south.


11.) 22 Mar 2023 11:56:55
Lennon miller rejected rangers and signed a three year professional deal at Motherwell. An excellent player with a bright future.


12.) 22 Mar 2023 12:23:11
He did John and it will get Motherwell a decent fee, I still think he will go this summer.


13.) 22 Mar 2023 13:16:50
Mb Scotty, he should try hang on another season and get minutes at spfl level.


14.) 22 Mar 2023 15:19:59
Wouldn't be overly surprised if Ishaka and Lovelace were regular starters for the first team in the future, both have great potential.


15.) 22 Mar 2023 20:01:37
Re. Lennon miller. he's had game time to showcase what he might have.
We never give the lads a chance all well bringing them in but we would get a higher fee if they actually got minutes.


16.) 24 Mar 2023 04:00:57
Beale there is a point the hope of another bassey it's just frustrating as we never give any youth a fair shot at the first team.

5 Min here and there and sitting on first team bench every week is idiotic. You should always look to give youth a chance when a couple up at home.


17.) 24 Mar 2023 04:02:33
Mark44 I hope your right but I seriously doubt it.

Think Beale has already shown he will not give our own youth a chance he bombed out devine pretty sharply even though boy done nowt wrong.


 

 

13 Mar 2023 22:17:22
We are believed to be interested in Panathanaikos skipper, central midfielder and Greece international Dimitris Kourbelis who is out of contract in summer.

Ger88

1.) 13 Mar 2023 23:59:08
Would be a positive signing if true!


2.) 14 Mar 2023 00:10:46
Leader, isn’t scared of a tackle and can shoot from distance. Would be a good signing.


3.) 14 Mar 2023 09:01:23
This is a market we should be looking at.


4.) 14 Mar 2023 10:25:20
No Thanks we need to be investing in the future at 29 no sell on value I'd rather stick with Jack whilst he's getting on he would be a cheaper option and can still do the job.


5.) 14 Mar 2023 11:18:29
Totally with you Fraser, why show interest in a 30 time called international player who could be about to captain his club side to a league title, whilst jack and arfield are out of contract soon and there's no guarantee either will sign, that's potentially two players down, but let's not look.


6.) 14 Mar 2023 11:35:22
Not to mention the possibility of Kamara being sold, there's more than one cm position we need depth and quality cover for and with Jacks injury record there's no guarantee he'll play every game, so aye let's not look at a proven international player available on a free and let's maintain the core of the squad that has regressed further behind Celtic. Sorry Fraser mate not a personal attack but I genuinely don't understand your thinking here. why can't we keep jack and get this boy hypothetically?


7.) 14 Mar 2023 13:21:05
Id be looking at the braga skipper.


8.) 14 Mar 2023 15:40:16
Could be a temporary replacement for sands until a long term target becomes available.


9.) 14 Mar 2023 15:42:47
Christensen good player but no chance premier league bound I think.


10.) 14 Mar 2023 15:44:44
Fraser if you want to win things you need the right blend you also don't know which players are planning on an exit.

I am also big on giving youth and young players a chance but they also need experience around them.


11.) 14 Mar 2023 22:15:36
Celtic not long signed a guy over 30 and he is ripping the league up but no we can’t sign a player that’s 29 what do people smoke in here on a daily basis as I would like some.


12.) 15 Mar 2023 04:03:16
Storm if you find out pass some to me please aswell mate, I can't sleep at night reading some of these replies lol.


13.) 15 Mar 2023 07:04:50
We have tried the investing in the future stuff but at the end of the day we also need to win the league, get the guys in to do it.


 

 

11 Dec 2022 13:09:19
Afternoon folks, just passing on info from a message I received this morning, most of which we already know but interesting to read anyway.
Josh Onomah is a player Beale wants and has spoken to RW about him.
The rumours of a Billy Gilmore return aren't entirely nonsensical, but more likely a plan B should Beale not be able to land his main targets.
Raskin is very much on the gaffer's radar.
Ryan Kent would prefer to stay and sign a new contract if terms can be agreed.
And sounds a bit premature to me, but Beale has given the board the go ahead to trigger the apparent £5million obligation clause to buy Tillman.
No word on Sands yet.
Hope you're all having a great weekend.

Ger88

1.) 11 Dec 2022 14:00:53
It was reported to be 1 million for tillman and Beale said in interview after the game he would buy him. 5 million is a lot.


2.) 11 Dec 2022 14:13:24
Kent wants 55k per week. He believes he can get that down south even in championship. Rangers offered 38k per week to Morelos but he wants more. Rumours are Middle East have offered him serious money. Beale wants 1 CB, 1 midfielder and 1 top 3 player in January.

Plus looking at adding 2-3 bosman deals already in January for the summer. Meaning that only a few will be brought in in the summer if goes to plan. Bosman goalkeeper is being looked at in English championship as well as Germany.


3.) 11 Dec 2022 14:27:52
Even if it costs 5m for him, Tillman still should be signed Rangers will make some cash from him moving forward.


4.) 11 Dec 2022 14:34:07
would onomah be one of the bosmans intheknow? or is he a loan or a fee required?


5.) 11 Dec 2022 14:35:23
Tantalising info Ger88. Thank you.


6.) 11 Dec 2022 14:52:25
@humph could be, Beale was looking at him at QPR, 1 South American boy being looked at seriously. Also 1 African boy being considered. 1 keeper in Germany and 1 in championship being seriously considered.


7.) 11 Dec 2022 14:52:42
Kents 2 goals a season not worth 10k a week never mind 55k. Time to move on i think.


8.) 11 Dec 2022 15:11:17
55k a week? Aye right! If he thinks he can get that down South, then see you later son.
If, and it's still a big If, there is a chance to get Gilmour, then get him signed - It's a no brainer.
5m for Tillman? Do we really want another luxury player who only turns up in some of the games? There's definitely talent there, but just like Kent, there's no consistency.


9.) 11 Dec 2022 15:12:03
I think Kent will score far more in Beale's set up.


10.) 11 Dec 2022 15:13:09
But not a chance is he worth 55k.


11.) 11 Dec 2022 15:46:55
Beale etc go look what we pay kent now, bodice salary, large signing on fee spread over con, bonus wining league, cups, europa progress and qualifying for CL

Mr ph this is one for u.


12.) 11 Dec 2022 15:52:16
Kent isn't worth anywhere near the money he's looking for, I hope he moves on.


13.) 11 Dec 2022 15:59:21
in the know thanks for the response mate! wonder who the other players may be!


14.) 11 Dec 2022 16:13:57
I have a feeling that Kent will sign a new deal and I like what I am hearing in terms of players that we will potentially sign in January.
Getting the right goalkeeper will be important and I am hearing some names mentioned that would fit the bill. I would gladly take David Soria or Jack Butland!


15.) 11 Dec 2022 17:06:48
Beale pulled the strings for Gerrard and Kent's numbers weren't good then so why will they be different now.


16.) 11 Dec 2022 17:32:25
Many did he score is our 55 title season?


17.) 11 Dec 2022 17:44:11
Would cost 8.5 million for a 3 year contract can we buy better for that including wages doubtful so he’s worth it imo.


18.) 11 Dec 2022 17:52:54
10 goals in the league 55 season.


19.) 11 Dec 2022 18:03:45
John was over 3m not mentioned about what Kent earned last season, he is not good enough for that wage.


20.) 11 Dec 2022 18:17:14
Both Morelos and Kent can be great players when they want to. Unfortunately Kent dosent do it anywhere near enough and Alfie had far too many issues/ chances now. In an ideal world we need to cash in and bring in replacements willing to play week in - week out.


21.) 11 Dec 2022 19:29:17
I hope Kent stays he’s our most creative player and Beale will be desp to keep him as he’s exactly the type of player he likes in attacking role. I don’t get the constant Kent bashing on here! He’s been knocking his pan in, the whole team has struggled for form yet he gets it tight when others have clearly chucked it.


22.) 11 Dec 2022 19:53:36
Scotty he has had 1 and a half good seasons that’s it he can go.


23.) 11 Dec 2022 20:17:33
The thing about Kent is pulls other players out of position.


24.) 11 Dec 2022 20:52:45
It’s not just goals or assists Kent brings, his work rate is good but mainly look at the free kicks and penalties he wins.


25.) 11 Dec 2022 21:21:47
Beale I believe it was around 2.5 with his bonuses.


26.) 11 Dec 2022 21:59:45
2.5 million is complete madness, we're not getting much bang for our buck, I've got a feeling that we're going to give him a new deal, adding up his transfer fee, wages and bonuses he's cost us a fortune, I like Ross Wilson and am hoping he can see there's no value giving Kent a new deal.


27.) 11 Dec 2022 22:24:21
The player with the most assists is rangers most creative player and more time than not it’s no Kent. Don’t think he’s had the most assists in our team in any season he’s been here. He also struggles to score for an attacking player. Agree he does track back a lot and presses well.


28.) 11 Dec 2022 23:26:33
Kent is the only player we have who can consistently beat a full-back in a 1v1 situation - He's actually brilliant at it. The problem has always been his end product. He needs to score more goals.

Kent and Morelos are two of our biggest earners. We need to refresh the squad and selling them for anything we can in January opens up new possibilities. Things went stale some time ago and we just need some change. It really depends what’s available in January. If there’s two quality attackers out there willing to join us on precontracts then I say go for it.


29.) 12 Dec 2022 01:05:45
Verdant you are spot on, again I'll ask what winger do we have that is better than Kent and when was the last time we had a winger better than Kent?


30.) 12 Dec 2022 07:27:43
Kent flatters to deceive most of the time and loses ball too many times when stumbling into defenders - we can and should do much better to fill his position. His end product is debatable and has only shown flashes in games.
Verdant - consistently beats a full back in 1v 1 situation? - that is a rare occurrence and he is nowhere near the player he was - best for both parties if he moves on imo.


31.) 12 Dec 2022 08:30:26
Blue-Floyd he had 19 assists in an off season last season and I believe is joint 2nd or 3rd in the league on assists this season. at least back your point up.


32.) 12 Dec 2022 11:22:21
TJ
Our right back Tavs has 5 assists and 6 goals so far this season so here we have some other statistics that show maybe our prolific striker Kent could and should do better.
My point is that he should score more for a player with great potential but never brings it to the table CONSISTENTLY- oh yes and he expects more money for doing the current job to this standard!


33.) 12 Dec 2022 14:11:46
Em, Kent isn't a striker and tav takes our penalties. Really poor example. I want my wingers to be providing, which he does. Regularly.


34.) 12 Dec 2022 14:23:30
QUOTE

"A winger is a player in a traditional striker or attacking third playing in the most forward position and close to the touchline, either on the left- or right-hand side of the pitch. This position is mostly utilized in a 4-2-3-1, 3-4-3 or 4-3-3 formations where two wingers are deployed on either side of the pitch. "

So where does Kent actually play then?

Lets see where Kent ends up TJ and what he does for any mid table Championship team that are mug enough to pay more than 55k a week for his services? - also Tav is providing same amount of assists from right back position!


35.) 13 Dec 2022 15:37:08
My view is that to secure a player of Kent's ability it will cost us more than we are most likely willing to pay and as a result we will waste more money bringing someone else like Matondo or Sakala in. Yes, there are better than Kent out there but our track record of signing quality players over the past couple of seasons is not that great.

17 Oct 2023 13:56:52
I know Davis has said before he would eventually like to get into management, but depending on how he feels once he's 100% rehabilitated and whether or not he wants to carry on playing, wouldn't it be wise to keep him as part of the coaching staff? Knows the club and Scottish game, has respect of his peers, ticks the boxes with regards to appointing someone in the know of the club and the Scottish game as a whole.

Ger88

1.) 17 Oct 2023 14:27:18
I would like to see the club go down the route of Bayern Munich where ex players run the football side of the club.
All the football roles filled with ex players and it helps keep the institution feel of the club no matter who the manager or players are.

Also like the way Barcelona operate in that ex players take up roles on the youth side of club and can progress through to manager.

Ajax are similar to both those clubs.

I like that set up and would like rangers to try and put a similar set up in place going forward.


2.) 17 Oct 2023 14:37:42
Ger88, just because Davis knows the club doesn't mean he'll suit management.


3.) 17 Oct 2023 14:52:52
I'm only interested in what they can bring to the club.
They must bring a value in a professional capacity.
I'm not interested in 'cheerleading' roles just for the sake of it.
We have 50,000 fans every second week who can tell the players what it means to represent our great club. And what we expect in terms of standards.


4.) 17 Oct 2023 15:24:15
100% agree MrPH


Any player or individual moving into a role must add value

Exactly what clement and Bisgrove said.


5.) 17 Oct 2023 15:47:49
I agree with that Stevie. It doesn’t have to be that all the roles are filled by ex players and there definitely should not be a “jobs for the boys” situation. However, there should be scope for the right former player who possesses key attributes and coaching skills to be slotted into the right key role within the club. The aim should be to help develop the attitudes of younger players and to prepare them to have a level of resilience when they enter the first team and play in front of what is - quite rightly - a very demanding group of supporters.


6.) 17 oct 2023 16:06:30
im pretty sure they won't hand outjobs for no good reason, can't remember when we have actually, if a former player happens to fit any role that's a good thing.


7.) 17 Oct 2023 16:12:03
I agree 1872. Its not jobs for the boys if it's done correctly. So let's do it correctly.


8.) 17 Oct 2023 17:01:43
Awe without a doubt the ex players would have to have what it takes to do the job.
In n on uncertain terms would it be ‘jobs for the boys’ as they say.
But ex payers/ new coaches need a start somewhere and I would certainly, over the next few years, try and implement a similar structure as to the clubs I’ve mentioned.
Just what I think I’d good, doesn’t mean it will happen.


9.) 17 Oct 2023 20:16:17
Mark44, I said he ticks the boxes for a coaching role, I never said anything about management other than Davis himself has said he would eventually like to go into management. Have a re read mate.

2.) 15 Oct 2023 10:30:19
Clement is a very good appointment by the board, next a good DOF to work with him in strengthening the squad in January but for now the main focus is to steady the ship and give this team some identity and clear ideas on how to play. ??.

Afternoon folks, disappointing isn't the word for yesterday. But to cheer me up just at there and watch a YouTube video of all Marco Negri's 36 goals for us, what a player he was, if only he stayed fit (or not been pumping team mates Mrs) he would've had 50 that season. I'm fact I think I'm even more depressed now ?. Realistically, iknow it's hard to make a fair comparison, but let's say he was here now scoring 30 plus goals a season and was fit with time on his contract, how much would we be looking at for him? Crazy money anyway I'd reckon. Anyway hope you are all having as good a Monday as possible.

Ger88

1.) 24 Apr 2023 14:59:57
Ger88, I love seeing those big names from the past such as Marco Negri, how I'd love to see players of that quality from our past in our present team.


2.) 24 Apr 2023 15:07:34
Honestly can't stand negri. Could get out if the club quick enough. Now mentions rangers at every chance to stay relevent. Playing in all legends games.


3.) 24 Apr 2023 15:22:52
Didn’t play in the last legends game.

Negri is leach, wanted nothing to do with rangers and now he’s retired makes money off the club.


5.) 24 Apr 2023 16:05:09
In the gaffer's own words when describing Negri, "he was a strange boy"! Started on fire, never celebrated, and looked like a wee boy who had lost a tenner and found 5p, and after 6 months, he spit the dummy, and downed tools. Now, all of a sudden, it's a total Rangers love in with him and he's always bigging us up?! Hmmmmmm?!

Never liked Negri! Like you say guys, he’s now a Rangers man…. Not for me and didn’t want to play for us.


7.) 25 Apr 2023 12:04:17
Whether you liked him or not we could be doing with a striker of his ilk thesedays.

Agree Gerr.

Juan Alegria was out to dinner in the west end with Morelos the other night, so the young man is here but does anyone know if he's fit or still needs extra training after returning home for a spell John27 any info mate?

I wrote he was back, had been in Columbia for two months, training every day now with rangers.


2.) 22 Mar 2023 07:53:28
The boy has been told he has no future with Rangers and will never be in first team. Rangers looking to offload him.

Another one that looks good against plumbers (lowland league) then can't make the raise. We must come away from the lowland league as the standard is garbage, yes they play against men but the development of the players is suffering for it.


4.) 22 Mar 2023 08:44:37
Sweep yet he played in league one with Falkirk, u really do not understand how a player develops.


5.) 22 Mar 2023 09:03:27
Aye and never made the cut John.


6.) 22 Mar 2023 09:10:27
And we will never hear of him again, once he goes.


7.) 22 Mar 2023 09:25:38
Sweep excellent player for Falkirk.


8.) 22 Mar 2023 10:31:44
Falkirk fans loved him sweep.


9.) 22 Mar 2023 10:34:09
What do u mean he never made cut. What cut.


10.) 22 Mar 2023 13:30:52
Alegria was highly rated when we signed him and like a few others has not developed into a first team player, just like Weston and McCann . There was usually a long chase to convince them to come and then a huge fanfare that we have managed to get them to sign and then nothing. They do well in the Lowland League, go out on loan in some cases and can`t even get game time at Thistle or Falkirk or whatever. The question is, is it poor recruitment or is there something wrong with our development coaching? You could add guys like McPake, Williamson, Mayo and Kennedy as others who have been highly rated and then turn out to be lower league level.


11.) 22 Mar 2023 15:32:26
According to some on here he was going be in the Rangers 1st team 18 months after he signed. I'd say that's not making the cut.


12.) 23 Mar 2023 14:14:16
Ahhh right sweep, just did not understand the expression.

Good to know tjn, when I heard the name I just went onto transfermarkt to find out some info, can't see anything official saying he's signed with Benfica yet though, just YouTube videos from back in Jan, will keep a wee eye on it.

Don't know much of anything about the boy tbh, if he has signed for someone else already I do apologise, but if Benfica are looking at him then he has to have something about him, and I do hope Lundstrum stays a while longer.

Name that was floated to me last night is Leandro Barriero, 24, defensive mid, over 50 caps for Luxembourg, out of contract in the summer, currently playing in Bundesliga with Mainz, this could be just noise due to a stalemate with Lundstrum and folk are putting two and two together in terms of position and getting five, was told some top Portuguese clubs are interested as well, might be a name to keep an eye out for though.

Roofe won't be offered a new deal, given us some good memories but it's a joke how often he's injured, club needs to move on and same goes for Ryan Jack.

Well struth if Livi go down this season, then we only need to put up with the Killie pitch next season and then the premiership will be all grass from 25/ 26 (unless someone else goes up or I'm missing someone) as Killie are ripping up that astro and replacing with grass for the 25/ 26 season and not before time.

Exactly dado, why would they want McLaughlin as he's out of contract in the summer anyway so wouldn't add much value to that transfer plus they have Gordon just coming back. Silly suggestion.
