Anyone picking anything up on this Steven Alzate rumour 25 yr old Columbian CM from Brighton? Apparently last 6 months of his contract.
1.) 04 Jan 2024 23:02:17
Looks a good addition.
2.) 04 Jan 2024 23:19:30
Aye . rumour has it gazza is on his way!
3.) 04 Jan 2024 23:41:23
He's been out with a serious injury hopefully that means we're not offering him a three year contract.
4.) 05 Jan 2024 00:02:43
Been on loan at standard leige the last 18 months, and by all accounts would be an upgrade in our 6/ 8 role, Brighton would rather recoup some form of a fee this month than lose him in the summer. 7 caps for Colombia aswell I believe.
5.) 05 Jan 2024 00:47:58
Gresley, that means that’s exactly what we’ll offer him ?.
6.) 05 Jan 2024 03:09:31
It's not a serious injury, He's to return in 2 weeks.
7.) 05 Jan 2024 07:38:53
He is the exact type of midfielder we are missing, can take the ball in tight spaces, can beat a man, can carry the ball and keep the ball moving, also got a bit about him and doesn't mind getting stuck in, he is a kamara type but more forward thinking, think he would be a good addition.
8.) 05 Jan 2024 08:53:26
What’s serious about a sprained ankle lol?
9.) 05 Jan 2024 08:55:36
Brighton have not extended His deal so available on a bosman.
10.) 05 Jan 2024 09:36:02
If he’s that good clubs would be queuing up for him? As he’s on a possible free.
11.) 05 Jan 2024 10:15:42
Not a praised ankle monty, he has a Syndesmotic ligament tear.
12.) 05 Jan 2024 12:11:17
Last night it said sprained ankle on transfer market it has now changed to why Jfm says reason I know is I checked it last night.
13.) 05 Jan 2024 12:33:13
A medical would sort it out storm, problem is depending on severity of ligament tear it can be 6 weeks to 6 months recovery, we have enough of that going on at rangers.
14.) 05 Jan 2024 13:27:57
Tears can be hard to come back from
As foot may not be as strong feeling n player go into a confidence thing as scared to put too much pressure on as before
Look at molls he was never at 100% after his injury.

A couple of hypotheticals for you guys that's rarely mentioned. If Tav had to have left last season there would be no reason to suggest we wouldn't have a 30 goal striker on our hands in Dessers. Based on performances would we still be clamouring to sell him if he got to pad his stats with Penalties like most number 9s?
Would his form have been more consistent getting an easy goal here and there? Would his misses have seemed as bad if he hit 30+? Was Boyd the last to hit that number? Feel like Morelos got to 29 with Tav taking penalties which is impressive. Tav leaving is what it's going to take for us to have those sorts of numbers up front again regardless.
1.) 28 Jul 2024 11:21:54
Tav now to blame for Dessers being sh*te and us struggling to punt him. Heard it all now ?.
2.) 28 Jul 2024 11:43:32
Mate no what I said at all. I don't have the stats but I'm going to assume a lot of 30 goal a season strikers take a few penalties. Looking up our stats. We haven't had a 30+ striker since Kris Boyd in 2008 and Negri before that in 97/ 98. Coisty answer one of my questions we got 11 league Penalties last season. Could Dessers have converted 8? Can you call him rubbish if he hits 30?
3.) 28 Jul 2024 12:03:45
Who is blaming Tav for dessers? get a grip he isn’t as bad as you say as a striker to score 22 goals when we have had 6 players do that as a striker since the year 2000 says otherwise. Is he the required standard for main striker no but he isn’t rubbish.
4.) 28 Jul 2024 12:17:58
If someone said in today’s current market. ” I can get you a striker that will score you over 20 goals in his first season (no pens and some of which he was on the bench) for under 5 million. “ you would bite their hand off, we got that yet we get on the guys back for not being good enough. I feel as rangers fans we are now less fans and more critics driving players out the door. Watch Dessers all round play how many chances were created when he was on the park compared to off.
5.) 28 Jul 2024 12:19:30
Ano mate, I just can’t have Dessers at all. Going into this season with him still here is draining the life out of me. Even if he scored 11 penalties on top of his goals i’d still want him gone. His overall play is so detrimental to the majority of our attacking play.
His touch is possibly the worst i’ve ever seen. He can’t pass without over hitting or miss hitting it. He needs 4-5 chances to score. He’s constantly offside. Can’t hold the ball up. Poor in the air. Can’t link play. Runs about like a headless chicken and doesn’t know how, when and where to press.
6.) 28 Jul 2024 12:25:43
Got more pens than that in league. Tavernier scored 12 and missed 4.
7.) 28 Jul 2024 12:32:23
He was brought in as our main striker?
His goals return last season was decent no doubting that and if that is good enough for some fans fair enough, a must for any Rangers striker is that they also can hold it up and do the basics.
8.) 28 Jul 2024 12:45:30
Good post Coisty.
9.) 28 Jul 2024 13:03:00
Love Big Dessers. No goal gets cheered louder in my house. He got abuse all season. Stayed fit and scored. I have doubts over Danilo.
10.) 28 Jul 2024 13:35:30
How can we assume he would score the pens the way Tav has . Where would we be if he missed them the way he misses other easy chances? Once he missed a couple he would be taken off them .
11.) 28 Jul 2024 14:26:52
He would miss most of them!
Saying that, he did have a good game against Berlin. Shocking against City tho. Suppose that’s what you get with him. Scores the difficult ones and misses the sitters!
If I was his coach I would tell him to hit every shot first time. The amount of chances he squanders by taking extra touches is staggering. When will he realise his 2nd 3rd and 4th touches are just as bad as his first! At least if he hits it 1st time then he doesn’t give the defence time to reset.
12.) 28 Jul 2024 14:27:09
Storm I think those stats are irrelevant if even with them you still don’t believe he’s of the required standard to be Rangers No.9. Just proves that goals alone aren’t enough. Every time Dessers scores it genuinely feels like a fluke ? We can both agree we need better.
13.) 28 Jul 2024 15:32:51
Wsl he has 100% record at taking pens 1 out of one for rangers and think in his career scored something like 13 out of 17.
Zikos his record on pens proves you wrong
Coisty his stats are irrelevant ? he ain’t as bad as you and others have said that’s plain and simple.
14.) 28 Jul 2024 15:41:18
Zikos and on what r u basing dessers would miss most of them.
Coisty were dessers. Dessers goals flukes yesterday.
15.) 28 Jul 2024 16:35:44
Cracking finishing yesterday John, I'm struggling if we sell him or not mate, second season is normally better, stick him on the penalties and we'll have a cf scoring over 30 goals, still would like another maybe loan to buy.
16.) 28 Jul 2024 16:54:39
Storm you’ve said yourself he isn’t of the required standard so what more is there to say ?
John yes, give him that first opportunity 10 times and 9 times he’s standing in an offside position as we seen all season. His second goal. seen it countless times. he can’t get the ball out of his feet quick enough, turns too many times and loses it. Continually destroys attacking phases of play with his terrible touch and passing. We’re going nowhere with him leading the line.
17.) 28 Jul 2024 17:15:30
Because he couldn’t hit a barn door at the best of times. Like I said he misses the sitters and scores the difficult ones.
I did see him hit one penalty for Nigeria and he did score it, but if memory serves me right he was lucky and scuffed the shot.
Guys let’s face it, he isn’t a great finisher. Get one chance and score striker. He needs 5 or 6 chances and against the better teams you do t get that many chances.
18.) 28 Jul 2024 17:56:21
Truth is we are looking for a Haaland standard striker that will score 45 goals a season, shouldn’t be difficult to find because no one else is looking for one of them.
31 Dec 2023 13:50:52
Ed, can I get accepted into the Live Chat had a wee look mid game yesterday? Formerly Larky Bear on here.

Does anyone know when Zak Lovelace is due to return from Injury?
1.) 22 Dec 2023 12:24:04
I think he's training with the first team.
2.) 22 Dec 2023 13:04:17
He has been training since last week.
3.) 22 Dec 2023 13:32:43
I read he was back training, but with a bad hamstring injury like he had they`ll be careful with him . Could be a big chance for him when he gets fit with Danilo and Roofe out injured.
4.) 22 Dec 2023 13:59:27
Wsl he was due to get minutes today with b team but game cancelled.
5.) 22 Dec 2023 17:21:01
Any news on Raskin and Jack returning from injury?
6.) 22 Dec 2023 18:37:44
John227, good to hear he is ready to play again, he would be a definite option off the bench with Roofe joining Danilo on the treatment table .
7.) 22 Dec 2023 19:39:20
100% Wsl. Him and yefeko r at present our best academy players.
11 Nov 2023 10:10:36
Not sure if it's been mentioned but Yfeko got an extension to 2026 yesterday.
1.) 11 Nov 2023 10:45:54
Probably go out on loan in January, these guys need football at that age.
2.) 11 Nov 2023 11:32:25
Totally agree jzer.
3.) 11 Nov 2023 11:38:03
Similar to Lowry he needs to go and play at best possible level to see where he’s at. He def has the potential to make us a few quid.
4.) 11 Nov 2023 12:00:22
Yes WeeRidvan I think this is fantastic news. I was impressed with some of his performances in pre season, still rough round the edges but has plenty of potential. I think with Big Phil the lads development is in safe hands. With young Bailey Rice also signing a new contract and a new contract being offered to Ross McAusland the future certainly looks bright.
5.) 11 Nov 2023 13:11:25
Good stuff got the potential to be a very good player for us or a large profit - either outcome its good news.
6.) 11 Nov 2023 13:30:34
I think he`s another one that needs a year or two to count as " home grown" by our Academy so hopefully he will be one for the future.
22 Oct 2023 09:59:56
What do we reckon big Simas going to cost at the end of the season? He has a deal to 2025, cost Brighton around £6million in 2021. Are we in with a chance of making it permanent the way he is playing? I don't see him playing at Brighton fancy them to cash in after a good season here. How many would be comfortable with a big chunk of next years kitty going on Sima?
1.) 22 Oct 2023 10:17:13
Wee, Sima keeps on impressing he could be a regular for Brighton next season, according to many Sima wasn't any good, we are now seeing the performances like we seen when he ran the show against us.
2.) 22 Oct 2023 10:18:44
Best we can hope for is another years loan. We have to much of a rebuild to be spending the guts end of 8 to 10 million on one player.
3.) 22 Oct 2023 10:38:05
The boy has a choice to make, my star, on whether he wants to be a small fish in a massive pool, or a big fish in a small pool. The boy is on fire up here, but If he decides to go back to Brighton, he'll struggle to get in that team. Infact, he'll struggle to get anywhere near it!
4.) 22 Oct 2023 11:00:49
You reckon raisetheroofe I don't, Sima keeps on performing like he is now he'll score over 20 goals for us this season and i believe Brighton will definitely use him, but i hope not and he's a Rangers player next season.
5.) 22 Oct 2023 11:19:34
Would that be 20 goals in a "poor league", my star? So, after telling everyone how "poor" our league is (it is, and you're right), you're saying Sima would walk back into one of the EPL's top half teams because he scores 20 goals against "poor" opposition, in such a "poor" league? As an ex player, and the forums resident "expert", you must be aware that it doesn't work that way, don't you?
6.) 22 Oct 2023 11:23:27
My star I have a bet that sima will score 25 goals this season, very nice bottle of red.
7.) 22 Oct 2023 11:41:05
Raisetheroofe do we play in a good league, my answer definitely not, doesn't Sima score crackers in Europe, you think he wouldn't get into the Brighton team I think he will if he keeps on progressing.
John very good bet mate.
8.) 22 Oct 2023 12:07:25
Well, I don't my star, and I would bet my house that I'm right.
Just like you mate, I'm always prepared to say what I think, and stick to it, so we'll see how it pans out.
I honestly hope that Brighton don't want him back, and that we have a chance to sign him full time.
9.) 22 Oct 2023 12:13:39
Come the summer he will have only 1 year left on his contract so maybe a deal to be had. Roofe, Star said he he keeps playing well and gets over 20 goals Brighton will use him, bit different from saying he will walk into their team. Worth noting their top 2 scorers last season were Gross and MacAllister with 9 and 10 goals.
10.) 22 Oct 2023 12:17:42
Roofe
We all know how EPL perceive our level play up here. Subsequently they'll always find way downing Sima performances up here. They'll always give he's got to be good in our league. That's just superlative rubbish. A player who can possibly score 30 a season in any league good. That just hopeful, but regarding looking forward, Brighton won't see European football, gers certainly will, big pull any player so let's see.
11.) 22 Oct 2023 12:38:23
We need to enjoy Sima while we can since I suspect that he will simply get better under Clement and will go back to Brighton at the end of the Season and will be part of their squad next season.
Even if we have serious funds available for transfers we won't have the money to secure this guy.
This is why we need a to quality DoF and Scouting System; so that we can pick up players that will develop like Sima and not cost us a fortune.
12.) 22 Oct 2023 12:46:52
Sima was poor at the start of the season and a bit like Sakala he will divide opinion as he has some poor moments in games.
However, Brighton are a top half club in the epl and for me he would struggle to get a game at that level.
13.) 22 Oct 2023 13:28:07
I think you'll win your bottle of nice red john227?Sima imo also is capable of scoring 25 goals this season ?.
14.) 22 Oct 2023 13:54:18
Brighton are likely to lose mitoma in the summer for upwards of £70/ 80m
Fati will go back to Barcelona
If clement keeps improving sima he will likely get a chance as a squad player for Brighton.
15.) 22 oct 2023 14:24:11
there may well be other clubs watching sima this season, brighton could conceivably double they're money quickly.
16.) 22 Oct 2023 14:37:51
We've not such rebuild. We've a few positions we need to strengthen but the guys will come good.
17.) 22 Oct 2023 14:24:48
Sima not good enough for Brighton and one decent performance yesterday doesn't mean he has turned a corner. there was a few times yesterday that sima made the wrong decision by cutting in or he gave the ball away by trying something silly. hopefully he kicks on but I think the likes of Lammers Dessers Sima maybe the first to be replaced in the transfer windows.
18.) 22 Oct 2023 17:38:29
One decent performance gers?
26 Sep 2024 17:04:20
Adidas Kits are some of the nicest I've seen this season. Arsenal and Real Madrid come to mind. Not to mention they are the manufacturer of many of our most Classic kits.
16 Jul 2024 17:25:42
Jimbo don't think he is going anywhere. He has been touted with a move back home from the 1st month he's got here. Every other week it's fenerbache or back to Beskiktas neither are happening.
05 Jul 2024 13:32:43
If our Right back wasn't our penalty taker Dessers could've been a 35 goal man last season. Think a lot of us forget our strikers numbers would be a bit more padded if not For Tav being so deadly on the spot and playing every single game.
25 Jan 2024 06:38:51
"Another 3 points, another win with a perfect team performance. So proud and feels so good to be here. "
From his Instagram.
08 Aug 2023 16:24:25
We need to take what people are willing to pay. Too often on here people just stick 3 names together and say that should be £15million brought in easy. I think people are going to be upset when they see what we end up getting for Kamara aswell. Ajer had a good season won a treble and had suitors. We are trying to get rid of guys that aren't good enough for a sub par Rangers Team.
28 Jul 2024 11:43:32
Mate no what I said at all. I don't have the stats but I'm going to assume a lot of 30 goal a season strikers take a few penalties. Looking up our stats.

26 Feb 2024 17:22:02
Think Silva will be needed in the 10 spot this week.
26 Jan 2024 16:44:07
Xabi Alonso to Liverpool end of the season what we think?
05 Jan 2024 11:18:06
Seems like an ideal replacement for Hearts or Aberdeen if they lose there strikers.
31 Dec 2023 11:45:28
They obviously don't see Chelsea as competition right now. I struggle to think If Arsenal went for him instead of Havertz they would have sold to Arsenal but maybe I'm wrong.
