Was talking to a fella in the place I am working today and his information is we have interest in at least 4 young players currently playing in the SPL just now. He wouldn't give any names but did say it doesn't include Cameron. He also said we have dropped interest and withdrawn the offer to the LB at Aberdeen MacKenzie I think his name is.
Heard from a separate source yesterday that we are very interested in the young lad Wilson that played in hearts front 3 yesterday. Also the young LB Penrice I think he is called. Was impressed by the lad Wilson but never saw enough of the LB to make a decision. Lennon Miller is still a target but I personally think we will be priced out with motherwell looking for a deal worth at least 5m, 3.5m fee and 1.5m add ons, with a 20% sell on. For me i'd take the hand off them at that price as i believe we could easily quadruple that price in a couple years with us. I also believe Bailey Rice would benefit massively having played with Miller at motherwell and heard they were close.
Heard another 2 or 3 names but not from any my trusted sources.

I was speaking to a family member of Penrice at the weekend, he suggested we'd been monitoring him in the back ground for a while. Said although he no longer supports Rangers he grew up supporting us and would absolutely know what it's all about to play for us.


2.) 17 Feb 2025 14:43:50
I think Penrice looks a good player. Late bloomer, but seems to have good pace, crosses well and would definitely give us a solid option for Jefte (assuming we can move Yilmaz on) … I think other young Hearts player could do with another 18months of football, as I don't genuinely see him getting much game time.
Other than that I hope we are looking at a solid ball winning CH with strong aerial capabilities (tbh cannot think who that would be in the league right now) …
Signing young players from our league can be good as long as they PLAY and can develop. Barron has shown flashes but for me is a clear step down from Raskin and Diomande. And assume if either of these 2 go, we would go to market for a quality CM….


3.) 17 Feb 2025 14:45:59
I know Penrice looks like he's young but he's 27 this year.


4.) 17 Feb 2025 14:46:55
Good in a way. But we cannot simply fill our side with young scots. Be mid table.


5.) 17 Feb 2025 14:51:33
Wilson looks the part but would disappear at Rangers as we wouldn't play him often at 17. Plus our expectations of him would be very high.
Penrice also looked very good.
Miller - and I know I'm in the minority - I just don't fully see it.
Would love for rice to be given more game time though.


6.) 17 Feb 2025 15:27:56
27 is young for some I suppose.


7.) 17 Feb 2025 15:30:55
We are getting bullied and we don't have real pace, so find those types, we want teams to rubbish themselves playing Rangers home or away, so we need coaching staff that understand what we need big Phil doesn't.


8.) 17 Feb 2025 16:01:39
No one is paying 5m for Lennon Miller if he doesn't extend his deal . He has a 1 year left in the summer and is available on a Bosman (development fee only) in ten months.


9.) 17 Feb 2025 16:21:18
It's time to move on from the nonsense that Scottish players aren't good enough. We've had the usual suspects on here for years saying that, most notably saying that Lewis Ferguson is not Rangers class but he is seemingly now on the radar for Juventus! We need to be signing the best players available to us in our price range or developing our own young players. It's worked before, there is no reason whatsoever that it can't happen again. Alex Ferguson proved what could be done by trusting in young, local players - why should it be different now?


10.) 17 Feb 2025 16:24:38
De boer mwell want 4 million + sell on.


11.) 17 Feb 2025 17:03:04
I'd go for Wilson but loan him back to hearts for a season.


12.) 17 Feb 2025 17:06:45
I would sign both hearts left back penrice and their forward james wilson in a heartbeat ?I've always really liked penrice everytime i've seen him playing, even when he was at livingston ? What a left peg he has, with superb delivery ???.


13.) 17 Feb 2025 17:53:05
Regarding hearts left back james penrice, if we were interested in signing him, i honestly doubt he'd give up being hearts first choice left back, to become Rangers second choice left back, even if we did sell either jefte or ridvan yilmaz ? What's others thoughts on this and would james penrice be a better fit at left back for us over jefte or yilmaz ?.


14.) 17 Feb 2025 18:05:13
Dado, james penrice's aunty is from shotts and one of my mates knows her.


15.) 17 Feb 2025 18:19:20
We tried to sign wilso when he was 16, he was not interested, wants to play football


At 27 is penrice a better option than Fraser.


16.) 17 Feb 2025 18:25:36
It was more a chance encounter SWS, the person was really honest about his feelings for us and that there was no doubt he'd give us his all.

I think he'd be a good challenge to Jefte I'm just not sure he'd want to sit in more as a centre half like EHL was taking about previously.

If your good enough I don't honestly care what nationality you are, the one benefit from having some Scot's in the team they tend to understand that getting best off QP is completely unacceptable, other people in the squad tend not to really care.


17.) 17 Feb 2025 18:27:43
I'm pretty sure we still have a number of open offers on the table for OOC players who are currently playing in the SPL, and we are actively scouting about a dozen players in the league.

Penrice, Wilson and Miller have all been watched at some point.


18.) 17 Feb 2025 18:28:28
Would love to see more Scot's through the door, got to get away from the snobbery, buying abroad has not exactly set the heather on fire and remember with better players around them they will progress and have that inbuilt hunger which we are sadly lacking. As for the miller debate I think about £3 m would be a fair price, look at the money promised for Cortez, and he hadn't kick a ball. I think if we don't get him, it will be another mistake.


19.) 17 Feb 2025 18:38:13
I would reckon penrice would start before both yilmaz and Jefte.


20.) 17 Feb 2025 18:38:48
I know what you're saying John but for me james penrice is a good bit better than fraser understandably at the minute and Fraser might never be as good as penrice, we just don't know how fraser will develop further ?.


21.) 17 Feb 2025 19:54:51
Why would be go and buy Penrice from Hearts now when we could have got him for nothing on a pre contract last January? That makes no financial sense .
Why would Hearts sell us Wilson and take him back on loan, do you honestly think we can just sign who we want and do what we want to other clubs. They have proved in the past they don't just roll over and let the big club, Rangers, take their players and its arrogant to think they will. People harp on about Ferguson but we are the last club Aberdeen would have sold him to and to ever do so they would have made us pay a lot more than the Italians did.


22.) 17 Feb 2025 20:29:41
I would really like us to have a scottish core its always been the Rangers way and should always be the Rangers way.


23.) 17 Feb 2025 21:04:57
Sir walter hibs nicky cadden is better than penrice with a far better delivery imo.


24.) 17 Feb 2025 21:15:16
Robbie Fraser has interest from Sheffield United and FC Twente
Would explain our interest in Penrice.


25.) 17 Feb 2025 22:12:26
That's your opinion paul 86 and I like nicky cadden, but from those 2 left backs, i'd prefer james penrice TBH ???.


26.) 18 Feb 2025 01:41:04
David Watson, Lennon Miller, Lewis Neilson, James Wilson would be my young Scottish players.


27.) 18 Feb 2025 04:55:20
I'd like the boy Mulligan as well as Penrice, our defence needs shored up.


28.) 18 Feb 2025 05:08:40
Not for me Paul penrice better.


29.) 18 Feb 2025 05:34:39
Totally agree with you storm ?james penrice a better left back than nicky cadden for me ?.


30.) 18 Feb 2025 07:05:05
We need a right back also?.


31.) 18 Feb 2025 07:09:12
Nobody's getting ahead of jefte, he's our best left back.


32.) 18 Feb 2025 09:14:32
Jefte is our fittest LB but can't defend. So he's not our best LB. Shows we need a LB and a RB for that matter and a big tough CH. We need a lot.
I'm so frustrated also. 4 m for Cortez. Hasn't kicked a ball. It's unbelievable.


33.) 18 Feb 2025 09:21:43
If we can make some decent money for Jefte and Yilmaz I'd be quite happy with Penrice and Fraser next season.


34.) 18 Feb 2025 10:11:10
Walter how many lbs do we need, jefte yilmas Fraser, reducing wage bill does not require 4 or 5 lbs.


35.) 18 Feb 2025 10:35:28
2nd time we need a RB also or does that not matter?.


36.) 18 Feb 2025 10:58:49
Fork, seemingly Kasanwirjo is tied up for next season mate, hopefully true ?.


37.) 18 Feb 2025 11:02:05
Stormtrooper, Motherwell can want 4m plus a sell on all they like in the summer but whoever wants him can get him for a development fee on the 1st of January.
Maybe other teams have the money to pay that in those circumstances but we don't. Celtic didn't pay it when he had 18 months so why would they pay it when he has twelve and can sign a Bosman 4 months after the season starts?


38.) 18 Feb 2025 12:11:20
Young James Wilson is going to be a star. only 17 and lighting up the spl.


39.) 18 Feb 2025 13:02:57
John frasers contract is up in summer is it not?

If we want to keep him on he may not agree after tasting 1st team football.

Yilmaz likely to be sold, jefte will develop for another 1-2 years so we need a back up, penrice would be a great replacement for yilmaz. Fraser out on loan, if Fraser stays without going on loan then of course no need to sign anyone.


40.) 18 Feb 2025 13:36:05
Same with Wilson. his contract ends in Summer 2026 so leave him where he is.
Is Nikki Cadden not a left midfielder.

From I understand there's a young lad called Alexander Arnold who is OOC in the summer. worth a risk but he can't defend either according to some.


41.) 18 Feb 2025 13:36:19
Sorry Fork darned autocorrect.


42.) 18 Feb 2025 13:41:00
John, i don't believe yilmaz will be with Rangers next season and i don't think fraser is totally ready yet and might get sold ? Who's to say jefte might not get sold, so there you have it my friend ?.


43.) 18 Feb 2025 13:47:11
I agree 100% with that fork he can also play a few other positions as well which always helps.


44.) 18 Feb 2025 14:18:41
There's a few notable players OOC at the end of this season, I have no info to suggest that any of these are players that we have offers out for but something to run the eye over.

Josh Mulligan
Lawrence Shankland
Danny Armstrong
Jack MacKenzie
Bobby Wales
Kai Fotheringham
Martin Boyle
Mohamad Sylla
Adewumi (Loan at Dundee expiring)


45.) 18 Feb 2025 14:20:40
Cheers Star was unsure bud? Angus I haven't a clue bud about your autocorrect? ?.


46.) 18 Feb 2025 14:29:56
Davie 1980. Lighting up the spfl might be a bit of a stretch.


 

 

29 Jan 2025 12:47:13
Just spoke to a former colleague who has been told that should we sell and get the expected money for our top players the name that topsour potential signings is Lennon Miller as Koppen and Clement believe we could make huge money on the lad. The fingue he told me was a total of 6m plus a sell on.

bellshilllad83

1.) 29 Jan 2025 12:57:15
As much as I rate the boy I can't see us spending 6 million on him. 3.5 maybe.


2.) 29 Jan 2025 13:01:36
I would be very surprised at this.


3.) 29 Jan 2025 13:05:45
We should just play bailey rice and save the 6m.


4.) 29 Jan 2025 13:14:03
Who ever leaves
Who ever gets bought

We all wish them well and welcome to ranger55 fc

No player is bigger than the club money talk no matter who you are iganame butland hagi dessers etc

So if someone leaves it will be a bye and thank you fpr your contributions to ranger55 fc.


5.) 29 Jan 2025 13:15:16
We definitely ain't paying 6 million.


6.) 29 Jan 2025 13:15:25
Yup Bailey is quality.


7.) 29 Jan 2025 13:21:41
Yep Rice is the option and quickly will develop to be the equal of Miller, M/ well may get £6m but not a chance of that from Rangers or Celtic for that matter.


8.) 29 Jan 2025 13:24:09
I can't see us spending anything like that and also don't think that Koppen and PC are telling anyone who our top target is. think our top target may be an experienced CM. If we are buying youth it will be similar to the markets we have been in as there is better value there it seems.


9.) 29 Jan 2025 13:24:26
I would love Lennon Miller to sign for us, but storm has said numerous times he's not interested ???.


10.) 29 Jan 2025 13:27:24
Bailey rice can be just as good. There's zero chance we're spending 6 mill on miller.


11.) 29 Jan 2025 13:27:34
Bailey Rice was higher rated than miller.


12.) 29 Jan 2025 13:39:03
We won't pay 6m for anyone.


13.) 29 Jan 2025 14:38:19
We won't and more importantly can't afford 6 mill for anyone unless it's on the drip over 5 years.


14.) 29 Jan 2025 14:41:10
Not a chance we are paying that.


15.) 29 Jan 2025 14:50:13
Am I the only one who doesn't see the fascination with Miller?
I believe giving the opportunity that Rice will develop into a better player and save us millions at the same time.


16.) 29 Jan 2025 15:10:06
Bailey rice will not hit the heights of miller. All good and well saying that but if we had the funds available to buy him for 6 million I am more than confident in saying after a season or 2 we'd make 40+ on him unfortunately he will probably go to the other side of the city and they'll get the money instead.


17.) 29 Jan 2025 15:15:53
I'm told the the 6 is with add ons. Initial fee of 4m with 2m in add ons based on appearances and international caps is what he told me.


18.) 29 Jan 2025 15:47:41
MPH I am with you and don't understand the fascination. not saying he isn't a good player just the fact that he will make us world beaters if we sign him. and Sam if any player in Scotland is worth £40m + even in 2 years i'd be highly surprised.


19.) 29 Jan 2025 17:01:58
Angus it's only 10 million more than the current Scottish record. He has all the attributes to go right to the top.


20.) 29 Jan 2025 19:00:11
it may be but I don't see anyone getting £40 Million for a player from our league. since 18/ 19 Dembele the record fee has only increased by £5-6 million.


 

 

16 Jan 2025 20:20:59
Was speaking to a contact from down south and he has told me that we hold an interest in a 19 year old striker who is on loan at Walsall from Stoke Nathan Lowe. Lad has a decent goal return this season and a good age to develop. Saw him on tv a couple times and he looked a decent option up front.

bellshilllad83

1.) 16 Jan 2025 22:02:35
good for 3rd striker to develop if Dessers goes?


2.) 17 Jan 2025 10:55:44
Angus, not to jump on u mate a meant to write this reply last nig ur, surely we must develop Lovelace as 3rd choice? We've put time and effort into him.


3.) 17 Jan 2025 11:32:28
Have a soft spot for Walsall and he's an absolute weapon of a striker will definitely go on to have a good career.


 

 

27 Dec 2024 16:26:13
Was told earlier that we are interested in a CB will fish. He was on loan at hibs but have no idea of his current situation.

bellshilllad83

1.) 27 Dec 2024 17:48:23
He signed for Cardiff on a 5 year deal
In the summer. not a good sign if they would ship him out already.


2.) 27 Dec 2024 18:07:30
He can’t get game time at Cardiff. Involved in three games, total 175 minutes, unlikely to be match sharp,


3.) 27 Dec 2024 19:04:58
Hope not he’s very average.


4.) 27 Dec 2024 19:06:50
Surely nsiala gets in before fish?


5.) 27 Dec 2024 19:08:51
We should go and bring in simon kjaer on a short term deal, as i'd imagine he's kept himself fit.


6.) 27 Dec 2024 19:50:39
Sws he's same age as balogun and not kicked a ball this season i just don't see the quality you do.


7.) 27 Dec 2024 19:57:27
What does King and nsiala need to do to get a game as propper has cost us too many games. I also agree we need experiance CB in short term i am sure there is still a few who are free.


8.) 27 Dec 2024 20:05:02
If we are looking at somebody of the standard of Will Fish it really is time to chuck it . He was hopeless up here with Hibs.


9.) 27 Dec 2024 20:34:24
Sir Walter… keeping himself fit is not the same as ready to be throwing in right away. Hopefully the will fish rumour is a fake.


10.) 27 Dec 2024 20:37:31
It's been painfully obvious for a while that Proper cannot be relied upon. King or nsiala should be given minutes over him until we sign a reinforcement. They'll only get better with game time, and I honestly don't think they'd be weaker than proper has been. He needs to go back to Holland where the game seems to suit him better.


11.) 27 Dec 2024 21:00:58
@John2561 - you mentioned Johnly Yfeko on another thread. Can Rangers take him back at end of loan as Bayern did with Tillman or is he lost to us if Exeter take up option? No idea how this one was structured. I see Caldwell rates him very highly (at least before his injury) .


12.) 27 Dec 2024 21:11:31
We've Ben Davies that should be brought back in.


13.) 27 Dec 2024 21:22:08
Told you before that we were in talks with Kjaer but I haven't heard anything since. He's maybe not played but he could probably do better than Propper.


14.) 27 Dec 2024 21:31:18
Will Fish - Cockney rhyming slang.


15.) 27 Dec 2024 21:46:41
King has never been a good centre half, I know some people have spoken about him perhaps playing a defensive midfielder. I have to say, I’d prefer him playing centre half before Proper, I can forgive King making mistakes more than a seasoned pro like proper.


16.) 27 Dec 2024 22:09:50
King isn't good enough or he would have had a chance (again) already and Nsiala is obviously not ready.


17.) 27 Dec 2024 22:21:37
Can only remember of Fish playing a few games but did think he'll play at a higher level (league wise) still only 21 but think we'll sign a better cb in January, we need to.


18.) 27 Dec 2024 22:55:31
Given that the league is now totally dead following yesterday’s result I don’t see the benefit in bringing in a short term signing (of the Kjaer ilk - wasn’t keen on him specifically in any case) .

If we have already identified a CB who is starting 11 ready and with potential to improve then happy days but if we aren’t going to achieve that this window then save the cash/ wages and utilise in the summer window when deals are generally easier/ cheaper and instead recall Davies from his loan, giving us a rotation of soutar, balogun, Davies and blood in Nsiala with proper hopefully being sold back to a Dutch team (if the rumours are to be believed) .


19.) 27 Dec 2024 23:59:24
We should sign Fish just for the halibut. although it might give P. C. a selection haddock.

I'll get my coat.


20.) 28 Dec 2024 06:46:53
The league is over? A few days ago people on here said it was all to play for because Celtic drew a game against Dundee United. People were also laughing at Aberdeen dropping points. I think the St. Mirren result has brought many crashing back to reality. That’s a good thing because I’m sick of hearing talk of progression when this team is clearly going backwards. Third place, the regression in Butland is staggering, Scottish Cup all that’s left to play for. Rangers could finish this season 20+ points behind Celtic and in third place. What progress? We are worse now than when Clement came in.


21.) 28 Dec 2024 06:56:03
Wowreally, sorry, but you really haven't got a clue about the game if you can't see the progression.


22.) 28 Dec 2024 07:29:42
wowreally, bang on the mark there is no progression, all we have done lately is paper over the cracks. Standards have fallen drastically and to many are willing to accept them.


23.) 28 Dec 2024 07:46:44
One of the obsessed my star. Best ignored.


24.) 28 Dec 2024 08:22:50
Really fife lol, so you can't see any progression either ?, tells me enough.


25.) 28 Dec 2024 08:28:37
only thing it tells you my star is that I expect more from Rangers than we are getting from them, that includes players management and the board.


26.) 28 Dec 2024 08:44:24
Fife the progression is there though, wiped 6m off the wage budget in one window and buying future talent with very little cash we have and we can see the upturn in form the last 6 weeks, yes a poor result against St Mirren but we'll have many more bumps in the road but far to many throw in the towel far to quickly and success never happens instantly like many fans want not even with 100's of millions involved.


27.) 28 Dec 2024 09:02:52
my star I get what you are saying but we are going backwards on the pitch falling further behind the east end mob. St Mirren was bad but even the win against Dundee was a hard watch, people were leaving Ibrox at half time in that game (3 in the row in front of me and the guy who sits next to me), our best performances have been in Europe as that seems to suit our style of play but league games apart from Killie have been poor to watch. I know we seem to disagree but that is fine as we can't all agree all the time ?.


28.) 28 Dec 2024 09:08:45
I agree Dado ?leon king is a much better defensive mid that's his best position.


29.) 28 Dec 2024 09:27:19
Sorry fife, the football is going backwards, I must be watching different football from you the last 6 weeks mate.


30.) 28 Dec 2024 09:30:16
Falling further behind them but very unlucky not to beat them in the final,10 shots on target against 6,Butland 3 saves Schmeichel 7,that doesn't look like falling further behind to me fife.


31.) 28 Dec 2024 09:54:10
Dado/ Coops, John informed me a gd while back that Leon King was a natural DM converted to a CH, think it was a needs must position at the time, as we were light on CH's.


32.) 28 Dec 2024 10:24:37
Walter has king ever played defensive mid at first team level, or r u referring to him in the academy at 15/ 16.


33.) 28 Dec 2024 10:58:56
OWS, this age thing especially for a centre half is only words mate ? What age was big davie weir when he signed for us and how superb was he for us, over to you ?Simon kjaer is a quality centre half my friend and could easily play in scottish football with his eyes shut for a couple of seasons ? If he's got no injury issues, get kjaer signed ?.


34.) 28 Dec 2024 10:59:38
king and fish not good enough. Surly we can set out sights higher.


35.) 28 Dec 2024 11:50:28
Sorry no point in we nearly
Truth is we are crap
Proper is crap
We are nowhere near them
So we nearly won one game against them
N people think we have progressed we ain't
We dot cut it in Scotland
Hard truth
We struggle to much against
Dundee
St mirren
Motherwell

It's the facts n it's the truth
We play two good games then lose

No consistency hard truth.


36.) 28 Dec 2024 12:01:24
SWS are you Simon Kjaer's agent? ? were you the guy in the photo with Dessers last week? he was decent but we don't know how match ready he is. 1 game not fit and he'll join the rinks of Balogon and Kasanjwiro.


37.) 28 Dec 2024 12:26:03
Krajer has not kicked a ball since May water please explain how he would be match fit, or fit as you call it, given hen has not trained with any team since May


Fork, yes a dam in our 16s. A good player at that level,


38.) 28 Dec 2024 12:51:24
We need too get a Scottish core
N really good spine in our team
Dominate in out league
Win week in and out
Then we can say there progress
We ain't one 5 domestic games in a row for God knows
Let's stop kidding ourselfs on
We are a mediocre team with more money than others
We ain't feared no. more
It pains me too say this
But it's fact x.

I`m not getting involved in the sack Clement or not debate but to be fair what progression were fans really expecting this season . If Clement was given money like the previous managers he could have built on last season gradually but instead we have let too many players go and not had the finances to replace them. Some of them looked like their times were up and we criticised them but there is no doubt we were a stronger team and had a stronger squad last season than we have this season.


40.) 28 Dec 2024 15:22:37
Seen him play it once or twice John, 16s and B, liked to stride fwd and has a gd passing range. I may be wrong, but I'm sure he got 5 or 10 at DM in the first team. I think it may have been an injury switch.


41.) 28 Dec 2024 16:11:21
Good info fork, I can’t remember.


42.) 28 Dec 2024 17:29:07
Progression my star, really? The games won v Killie, Ross County and Dundee are games that every Rangers team should be winning with ease. Yet some were getting far too ahead of themselves and excited about those wins. Clement is a dud and should be gone if we lose on the 2nd.

Heard yesterday at work that Propper is heading back to Holland in January and we have another CB lined up on loan until the summer.
The lad had mixed information about Propper being a loan with obligation and another saying loan with option.

Hearing loan with obligation, small profit.


2.) 20 Nov 2024 20:19:45
Hopefully it's a left footed cb and just hope he's a good as his partner on the right side then I'd be well happy.


3.) 20 Nov 2024 20:25:50
Heres hoping. he's been very very poor.


4.) 20 Nov 2024 20:58:26
It's a shame it's never worked out for him but at least they are not wasting time and moving him on. He's not looked comfortable in the spl at all. If he only cost the reported 1.2m and we're making a small profit then it's not the worst outcome.


5.) 20 Nov 2024 21:09:08
Simply hasn't worked he's not suited to our game.


6.) 20 Nov 2024 21:13:43
Thanks for the info bellshill, hearing any incomings?


7.) 20 Nov 2024 21:40:29
Wasn’t he the captain at his previous Dutch club?

I think that the SPL doesn’t suit him like a few others that clubs have signed.

E. g. Lammers, Itten, Alvez,


8.) 20 Nov 2024 21:41:13
He looked like a stop gap, and hasn't improved our starting 11, so would be happy enough to see this happen. I worry about how many loans we're relying on though. Particularly the one where we don't have any control over next steps as seems to be the case with Cerny and Kasawanijro.


9.) 20 Nov 2024 23:39:10
Signing hasn’t worked out, shake hands and move on.


10.) 20 Nov 2024 23:40:51
Yo kimbo there's is an option to buy kasanwijro I beleive. Let's just hope he hasn't torn his ACL or hell now be out for the season.


11.) 21 Nov 2024 06:22:31
We must be looking at getting another cb in then.


12.) 21 Nov 2024 08:54:50
It’s reckoned in football about 40% transfers are deemed a success. Only at our club do we expect 100% successful.


13.) 21 Nov 2024 09:58:32
Agree. With Johns point about most transfers don't work out but would also add that since the sales of Kamara I don't think we've had any success at player trading unless I'm forgotten someone.


14.) 21 Nov 2024 10:31:14
shame he was one that i thought would do well but alas no. clement has noticed that and not played him unless he has had to, says it all.


15.) 21 Nov 2024 12:14:35
Propper always looked like a panic signing due to Goldson going near the start of the season . It hard to believe we could find anyone worse than Connor was in his last season but we somehow managed it. You can`t win tough games in Scotland with a centre back and a centre forward with no physical presence.
Just hope they can move him on and bring in an actual left sided, physical centre back with a bit of pace .


16.) 21 Nov 2024 14:39:17
Didnt know anything about the guy before he signed. But surely koppen and clement are aware that a slow defender won't cope too well up here. Especially against celtic. We need legs all over the park.


17.) 21 Nov 2024 14:56:24
We don’t expect 100% John we would like more than 5% success rate tho which is the way it’s been since Gerrard left.


18.) 21 Nov 2024 14:56:31
Not an issue depending what u expect him to do. Weir was very slow.


19.) 21 Nov 2024 15:07:08
Didn’t he treble his wages by coming to us or something? Why would he leave unless it was to one of the top Dutch teams?


20.) 21 Nov 2024 15:19:25
Wishy 5% lol, Bajrami for 3.5m great singing, Diomande 4.5m can see flashes in him that really impressed me, Jefte for 800k unbelievable signing for that fee, Cerny very good signing, Propper get out money back, Kasanwirjo liked what I seen from him, Igamana 1.8m, would love to hear your opinion on these if we only get 5% correct.


21.) 21 Nov 2024 15:36:49
Wishy gerrad signed over 40 players in 3 years how many where a success?


22.) 21 Nov 2024 15:37:27
Wishy, Gerard signed over 40 players how many where successful?


23.) 21 Nov 2024 15:43:08
Signing even.


24.) 21 Nov 2024 16:00:35
Im sorry, I'm just not seeing anything in Igamane which makes me think he's going to be a success.

Goes without saying, hope he rams those words down my throat! And I'll fully support the boy whenever he's on the park.


25.) 21 Nov 2024 16:25:44
Asked about today to see if I could get any info on Proper, but there doesn't seem to be any chat about him potentially leaving.


26.) 21 Nov 2024 18:42:48
My Star, Bajrami may turn out to be a good signing but hasn`t shown much up to now . Igamane is a raw youngster and never worth the money we spent on him, Nsiala struggling in the B team, Diomande has been a dreadful signing, he doesn`t create, doesn`t score, constantly gives the ball away and generally lacks the discipline needed to play in a holding role. What does he do well and more to the point what did we see in him to spend £4.5 million. Add in Silva who was an awful signing, likewise Propper, a reserve goalkeeper who contributes nothing and Cortes who is always injured and Mr Koppens success rate drops dramatically, maybe not to 5% more like %33 but that's still not good.


27.) 21 Nov 2024 21:01:03
Igamana has potential wslgers and Rangers wanted Cortes before Koppen was even here Brown scouted him around a year previous playing for his club in Colombia, Nsiala no one knows about him yet but supposedly impressive in b team, Bajrami will be a top player for us and 3.5m is very cheap for a player with his creativity, see plenty of potential in Diomande, wait a few months and see about your 33% success rate and 50% I'm well happy with but in my opinion it will probably be above 50% with they players mentioned, hopefully Propper goes in January and a left footed cb signs.


28.) 22 Nov 2024 11:51:44
All these successful signings mystar this summer how are we 9 points behind Aberdeen?


29.) 22 Nov 2024 12:37:22
Let see where we are at the end of the season wishy, remember we lowered our wages budget by millions in the summer,50% of they players will be a success which is very good going.


30.) 22 Nov 2024 12:58:01
The reason we're 9 points behind Aberdeen is because out of the 11 league games they've won 10 and drew once a great record for old firm clubs that is why wishy.


31.) 22 Nov 2024 13:10:14
My Star, the original comment was about successful so far and for me that is 33% at best. Igamane is as raw as an onion, potential or not to pay £1.7million for a player who should be no nearer a first team place than Lovelace or even Gentles is a criminal waste of money at this time. Nsiala has struggled in the B team, have a look back at the goals they have lost this season, and you are in a very small minority if you can see anything in Diomande.

I would love you to tell us what you see that we don`t. Don`t care who scouted Cortes last year he was signed on Koppens watch, twice. At a time when money is tight and we have lost a lot of experienced players, success is measured by players making an impact in the first team which is only Barron, Jefte and to a lesser extent Cerny.


32.) 22 Nov 2024 14:11:54
Mystar a successful rangers signing is someone who wins trophies and beats Celtic. So far we have 0 successful signings from the summer and until we stop being 2nd and 3rd best it will stay that way. Take your standards off the floor your embarrassing the fanbase. Also stop making excuses about being 9 behind Aberdeen lol. They spent less than us and have managed to win 10 and draw one so why can’t we with all our succcesful signings?


33.) 22 Nov 2024 14:23:41
Lesser extent but Cerny is one of our best players this season, I can see many positive things in Diomande and clearly you can't wslgers, Cortes was impressive in a couple of games last season they players signed in the summer will have a higher success rate than 33% let's just wait and see.


34.) 22 Nov 2024 20:58:31
My Star let's not wait and see, we are talking about who has been a successful signing now.
Once again I challenge you to tell us all what are the positive things you see in Diomande .
Cerny has been good at times and terrible in almost equal measure, his miss against Lyon was Van Vossenesque, he has taken a long time to settle, far longer than a youngster you say we are all getting carried away over .
As for Cortes, he impressed in a couple of games last season then got a bad injury, off the back of which we have committed £4.5 million. He has now been injured a further twice, so there is no measure by which you can call him a success.


35.) 22 Nov 2024 21:18:20
Wslgers the positive things a see in Diomande are the way he just drops his shoulder and loses his man very easy and gets out of most situations and always has a killer ball in his game and a very good range of passing and also like digs and he covers back very well heard some say he's a lazy player but he's far from it in my opinion how many times has he won the ball deep in defence.

There you go mate.


36.) 22 Nov 2024 21:24:06
Let's see where Diomande is playing when he's 25 certainly be a better league than where he is now.


37.) 23 Nov 2024 12:23:05
My star, interesting viewpoint, I think I can remember him playing one killer ball ( which Dessers missed) and in fact I would have said his passing is poor, his assist numbers are very low if any at all.
I have seen him drop his shoulder and get away but its is usually followed by running into the next man or trying a Cruyff turn back to an opponent. His decision making is terrible.
I would agree that I would never call him lazy but I just don`t see what his main assets are and what position he would hold down in a midfield.
Hope you`re right about him and will hold my hands up if you are but a success so far, definitely not.


38.) 23 Nov 2024 12:39:57
2 Assist this season wslgers, just wait and see mate.


39.) 23 Nov 2024 17:08:46
We are Aberdeen so much better than us if the squad is brilliant?

John you seem to have a good knowledge of our B team just now. Was talking to a friend about the young lad Finlay Curtis and how well he's been doing this season. After last night I'm sure he is on 12 goals 2 assists in 15 games. I'm hearing he has caught the eye of first team coaches. Any insight into how close the lad is yo getting an opportunity for the first team?

Just read a story about Garcia. His agent has come out and said its been known from the start that he was alwsys going to sign a new contract so the club get a fair price for the lad. It also says that even though the release clause is $10m he would probably go for less than half of that with the figure quoted as $4m. 3.1m in our money. From what I've been told about this lad if we can do business at that price it would be a great deal for both.

Just read on a Facebook group that the young lad Fraser is out of contract in the summer. Surely we must be giving this lad a long term contract? as from what I've seen he could become a cracking first choice LB for us long term.

21 Jan 2024 16:04:08
I was speaking to a guy at work and he was telling me that Clement and our new head of recruitment have identified 5 main targets they want to add at the end of the season. His info is a CB striker possibly 2 wide player and LB. Other incoming would depend on players going out.

06 Jan 2024 18:25:31
Just been talking to a friend and he thinks we will move for the lad from Vitesse and offer both Matondo and Lammers on loan until the end of the season with option to buy in summer plus 1m. Guy never talks about football but has family in Holland. Anyone heard anything as I think it could be a bit far fetched to be true.

We can't keep chopping and changing managers every 18 months. With every manager comes a new team rebuild with most players being moved on. It's not working. We need to stick with a manager. I actually feel bad for Clement as the job he was offered isn't the one he got. He was offered assurances that he would have a budget for the players we needed. He was promised that he could rebuild in a max of 4 windows. He hasn't been backed and has probably been the only manager in a long time that the board haven't given what he needs to compete. We were never going to seriously compete with the players we bought. Most were projects or in Kelly case a back up. Bajrami and Propper both look as though they are struggling to settle with cerny our only experienced player that has shined.

Sima won't happen. We had agreed a fee with Brighton in the summer but Simas demands were out of our pay structure so we walked away.

I'm told we are possibly working on 2 but not from my usual sources. Neither have been named in the media and neither are big name players but have massive potential. Says that we aren't giving much away.

Leave him till the summer and let the lad play 90minutes every week. Would only take him now if they were going to drop him until summer.
