There are some rumours that Ianis Hagi cannot pass a medical, as required for his transfer to another team. After playing in La Liga and for Romania, it is hard to believe them. However, if those rumours are true, Rangers either keeps the player and uses him, or his contract should be terminated by mutual agreement.
1.) 04 Aug 2024 14:53:52
Why would you terminate the contract of a sellable asset when we clearly need money, your comment makes no sense? Hagi will be sold for money let's just be clear about that.
2.) 04 Aug 2024 15:20:33
Utter nonsense.
3.) 04 Aug 2024 15:20:41
How can you terminate a players contract? if the rumour is true he got injured playing for us so we have a duty of care to him.
4.) 04 Aug 2024 15:22:01
Look at his name 4 a starter.
5.) 04 Aug 2024 15:23:27
I think he means if hagi can't pass a medical what club would buy him sp we play him pr release him.
6.) 04 aug 2024 15:33:37
not if he can't pass a medical we wont
let's just be clear about that too
any reasons as to why he can't pass a test mate?
7.) 04 Aug 2024 16:17:35
What one club looks at in medical might not be something another looks at, sometimes they even pick things up and sign anyway. That all is of course pointless considering it seems to be made up with some ‘ soccer fan ‘.
8.) 04 Aug 2024 16:31:55
He's been on loan for 1 year and away at euros so I'd doubt he'd fail a medical.
9.) 04 aug 2024 16:45:33
think “ soccerfan has been here some time, ,
10.) 04 Aug 2024 18:44:23
Think your getting mixed up with Roofe.
11.) 04 Aug 2024 18:49:02
He's probably shagged out, boys been on his honeymoon for the last couple of weeks. In all seriousness though i never got the hype with Ianis, lacks the pace to be a wide player, lacks the stength, touch and awareness to be a cm, also doesn't have the defensive discipline to be a cdm.
12.) 04 Aug 2024 19:03:49
Is Christensen not meaning the "Hagi" name maybe?
13.) 04 Aug 2024 19:05:39
These "rumours" in a bus shelter by any chance just as the boozers come out or was it a bad dream?
14.) 04 Aug 2024 19:40:03
I don’t think so fork. TT is right boy has been on here for a while.
15.) 04 Aug 2024 19:47:15
He can’t find a club and wants the sunshine.
16.) 04 Aug 2024 19:55:21
I smell it again.
17.) 04 Aug 2024 20:47:36
Aye storm soccer fans been here before I was?.
18.) 04 Aug 2024 21:28:06
I am Hagi's biggest fan, no hiding with that. I want him to stay at Rangers and I want him to contribute to our success. But if nobody wants him, wouldn't be better to cut out loses and release him? Medical issues or not, the way we are treating him only decreases his market price.
19.) 05 Aug 2024 02:51:02
His times up he’s a busted flush, injury ruined him.
20.) 05 Aug 2024 10:11:57
The Romanian FA would have needed to insure him so any medical or health issue must have been covered otherwise the player could not have been involved and would have chosen not to be .
21.) 05 Aug 2024 10:55:48
I just don't get why we've thrown him on the scrap heap when we're in such bad need to bodes in the middle of the pack. Surely PC can see that we cannot keep carrying Lawrence as a 10. we need to get 3 bodies in the middle of the park working hard.
22.) 05 Aug 2024 15:47:32
Lawrence was about 1 1/ 2 inches from winning the game keeper made an incredible save. You can just about hear the high pitched whining on here.
03 Jan 2024 16:58:13
Do not shoot the messenger: Romanian newspapers - true not very reliable source of information - are suggesting that Ianis Hagi comes back to Rangers this winter. I would love him back!
1.) 03 Jan 2024 18:36:51
Pretty sure we don’t have the option to cut it short.
2.) 03 jan 2024 18:50:38
theres a place on the subs bench with his name on it.
3.) 03 Jan 2024 19:36:29
My under Is he would need to have been recalled 1/ 1.
Same re Lowry. However rules change all the time.
If we r bringing in a few no place for hagi.
4.) 04 Jan 2024 03:02:08
Clubs might come to an agreement agree he would be on the subs bench but would be a good option to have could change a game.
5.) 04 Jan 2024 09:53:22
Hagi would be in the team, I have no doubt. He's a better number 10 than anyone we have in our squad for that position. I look forward to seeing him back at the club.
6.) 04 Jan 2024 18:08:10
Id love to see him back, i know he's not everyones brew, but i always liked him. As i posted last week, i don't think its likely he's being recalled given we gave Silva his squad number (as much as they don't mean everything. Its a different dynamic now, look at the players that were good under gio but gash under beale now performing…. we've got a wealth of riches we aren't using in the midfield. i'm all for bringing back lowry and hagi, shipping lammers out and let them all fight it out for the LAM/ CAM/ RAM spots.
30 Jun 2023 15:03:09
It is silly to believe that a team will pay 4M+ on Hagi, as nobody knows when and if he will be fully recovered from his injury.
Romanian newspapers (similar in accuracy to the Turkish ones) are mentioning that Aberdeen would like to take him on an one-year loan with option to buy. Also, they say there is interest from Espanyol, but I do not think he will go to Secunda.
I would like him to stay and have an amazing year with us, and decide next summer what would be best for the team and player.
1.) 30 Jun 2023 15:18:57
? Aberdeen do you believe everything you read Aberdeen could not afford his wages never mind the £5million plus he will go for just cause a player has had an injury does no mean he’s not worth a lot of money we payed £3.5 million and he’s got better so £5million is more than a fair price.
2.) 30 Jun 2023 15:31:09
I think that the Romanian Newspaper must have got their Teams mixed up! Aberdeen don't have the funds, (unless they have secretly been bought by an Arab Billionaire)!
3.) 30 Jun 2023 15:47:10
Loan to The ?. ??????????????.
4.) 30 Jun 2023 15:59:06
He is NEVER going to Aberdeen and Beale doesn’t want him away. Not this season. He extended his contract after conversations about getting him back to best. Giving him and the club security and he was happy to do so.
5.) 30 Jun 2023 16:16:43
Galatasaray have been linked with Hagi for a while. Hagi himself had a really bad injury and spoke about how difficult it’s been to come back from that. He said all the other players were much further ahead of him in terms of fitness and sharpness. He did get a goal towards the end of last season but really struggled throughout the match. I hope he has a very good preseason and can stay fit as he’s missed a lot of football these last 2 years.
Lawrence might be in the same boat when he comes back from injury. He comes back at the end of preseason when Rangers will be involved in Champions League qualifiers and competitive league games. Lawrence might struggle for game time to get where he needs to be.
6.) 30 Jun 2023 16:27:42
We loaned them both Mccrories Newman.
Makes them stronger against Celtic
We also loaned foster from them if I remember
I wouldn’t loan Hagi though he has a crucial season ahead for us.
7.) 30 Jun 2023 16:36:06
Robbie McCrorie didn't go to Aberdeen, Stevie.
8.) 30 Jun 2023 16:40:25
Hagi will never entertain a loan to Aberdeen! Never going to happen. If we even discussed it he would ask for transfer. Aberdeen? ? do me a favour!
9.) 30 Jun 2023 16:48:33
The sheep ?? best laugh aw week.
Stevie when did Robbie go to the sheep?
10.) 30 Jun 2023 17:30:10
Was it nott ross for wright.
11.) 01 Jul 2023 03:08:32
Who did he go on loan to for. Season then guys? Sorry Livingston my bad. Long week and shi* memory but still, didn’t look rangers class when on loan but for us has looked good yes. However we have done business with the sheep both ins and out loans etc.
26 Jul 2021 23:23:36
From the looks of it, I do not think Morelos comes back. Fashion and Itten will compete for the forward spot, with some help from JD.
Even if Morelos comes back, he will miss the beginning of the SPFL and probably the UCL first qualification round. Moreover, he could throw out the team balance, as he may be seen by the others as receiving privileged treatment. He is Rangers' most important player, but if he does not put his heart into it, better without him.
1.) 27 Jul 2021 00:39:03
On the contrary mate if he sees how well we are doing without him, and we don’t receive a suitable bd, he will come back into the starting 11 hungry to have a belter of a season and finally get his move in January or next summer. And with a front 3 of sakala alfredo and Kent along with our formidable back line outstanding wing backs and top class competition In midfield we would be a serious threat to anyone in the champions league. Not to mention the depth we now have all over the pitch.
Very exciting times.
2.) 27 Jul 2021 01:18:58
You could be right but Roofe would be the main striker then think fashion will play on the wing the way roofe did most games and itten back up striker.
3.) 27 Jul 2021 02:20:46
Your post just gave me a headache, cheers 👌ðŸ».
4.) 27 Jul 2021 02:40:48
Who says his heart isn't in it? He has shown no intention to leave. He's also back in Glasgow. don't ever believe what the msm say. Gerrard said what he said purely because he's sick of the same questions every 6 months.
5.) 27 Jul 2021 06:11:06
Soccerfan, as much as i rate morelos very highly he's not our most important player IMO, ryan kent is by a distance 👌🇬🇧.
6.) 27 Jul 2021 06:43:17
Morelos and his wife were pictured at the Airport earlier yesterday so what a load of tosh your speaking, soccerfan.
7.) 27 Jul 2021 07:26:41
Fredo will be back.
RFC can’t see roofe being our main striker as he is better as a number 10 or out wide IMO.
8.) 27 Jul 2021 08:53:57
I personally think that Morelos needed the extended break. Not only was he on international duty with Colombia but he also had C.V. which from personal experience takes its toll on you your body both physically and mentally. I don't think Morelos needs to worry about anyone taking his no9 position as itten still isn't there and I think personally sakala and Kent will make up the front 3 with Morelos. That will terrify defences the pace of sakala, skill of Kent and the physicality of Morelos I can't wait to see them play as a 3.
For me we don't lose either way. If he goes we make huge profits if he stays we keep best striker in the country.
9.) 27 Jul 2021 09:29:53
I’d say Morelos better hit the ground running when he comes back or the haters will be all over him, I love him as a player but I’d be lying if I said all this stuff doesn’t frustrate me, imo he should have taken his extra 2 weeks off as big favour from the club and hopefully he’ll be in reasonably good condition and raring to fire us into the champions league groups!
10.) 27 Jul 2021 09:30:26
Bellshill you’re right that front 3 of Kent Alfie and Fashion will terrify defences on their day. And when u have guys like Roofe, Hagi, Aribo, Itten and Wright all waiting in the wings it’s a good strength in depth up top. I’m not worried about Alfie he’s allowed a holiday he’ll be back when he’s back and if a bid comes in that we like then he will go but until then he’s our number one striker when he’s fit and a can’t wait to see the 3 link up.
11.) 27 Jul 2021 09:50:16
Defo bells bill mate. I can’t remember the last time we had as good a front 3 as what I think these will be.
12.) 27 Jul 2021 10:01:37
Re Morelos, its a 14day mandatory holiday from uefa, Fifa or whoever. then rangers gave him a break. so he's back in Glasgow as scheduled etc.
We all know the wee man wants a bigger league etc, and why not! But he will come and produce, as he always does. Gerrard et al manage him perfectly. And its not upset the balance of the team yet!
13.) 27 Jul 2021 10:13:46
Completely disagree with this school of thought that morelos/ kent are our most important players, in my opinion our most important player is Allan mcgregor, he is the main reason we. fonished so far ahead last season and this season will very much be the same.
14.) 27 Jul 2021 10:26:44
I agree bellshill and highland bear if fredo scored a hat trick every game the haters would still hate it’s unbelievable the amount of people that have a go at him.
15.) 27 Jul 2021 10:28:05
The good thing is now for the first time in a long long time we have a number of important players in the squad. McGregor, Goldson, Tav and Borna, Davis, Kent and Morelos Were all vital to us winning the league and other players like Helander, Kamara, Aribo, Jack and Roofe aren’t too far behind. Things are looking great just now for us as a squad.
16.) 27 Jul 2021 11:03:07
SGL got to correct you there Alfie is way more important to us than Kent. Our whole system struggles without him. We have no other player who can hold the ball up.
17.) 27 Jul 2021 11:48:50
I agree with u unbeliever, although Kent on form does an excellent job.
18.) 27 Jul 2021 12:12:25
Have to agree Alfie is the player who makes the team system work and our most important but Kent is an outstanding individual player. Good position to be in to be arguing who the best player is however!
19.) 27 Jul 2021 12:54:11
Morelos all round game gives more to the 11 the way we play our game than kent defo.
20.) 27 Jul 2021 14:43:07
Tell you what though lads was a breath of fresh air to see a striker being subbed off with a big smile on his face 😂. Sakala clearly has the right attitude and seems very humble and grateful to be here, think he could be a top player for us.
21.) 27 Jul 2021 14:47:43
The way morelos drags defences everywhere and bullies them gives kent a lot more space to run into and freedom to play. Thts the reason when morelos is not playing we don't usually look ourselves. Morelos compliments kents game as without morelos kent wouldn't have as much space and defenders having morelos in their head 24/ 7, so their would be 2 or 3 on kent instead of morelos, thts the beauty of this rangers team we have players tht need doubled up on too defend against, but when our strongest team are playing opposition doesn't have enough players to double up on all our quality players at once👌💙.
22.) 27 Jul 2021 14:48:21
Ryan Kent is possibly our most talented player SGL but not our most important.
Against RM he made some great moves and took the plaudits but was not involved in our goals.
He should have scored but fluffed his lines- I’d say Wright had more influence.
23.) 28 Jul 2021 14:40:39
Ryan Kent is the one player that we can't afford to lose and as much as i rate alfredo imo kent has the most influence on our team and the way gerrard wants us to play ðŸ‘Kent easily the most talented footballer in scotland 👌.
05 Jul 2021 13:29:52
By not being allowed to represent his country at the Tokyo Olympics it goes to say that Hagi is going nowhere this summer (despite being the second "transferred" player on here, after Morelos. )
1.) 05 Jul 2021 14:18:05
Or that we have no one on the right with Roofe's suspension?
2.) 05 Jul 2021 14:29:06
Wright and now Sakala would disagree with that rfcrb.
3.) 05 Jul 2021 14:33:53
Agreed Ger88.
4.) 05 Jul 2021 14:58:41
Aribo also can play rhs.
5.) 05 Jul 2021 15:16:02
Wright's a left winger. Sakala I did forget but he's also not a RW. Between the two of them they have played a grand total of 12 career matches on the right.
6.) 05 Jul 2021 15:37:54
or trying to keep him free from possible injury wile trying to punt hagi.
7.) 05 Jul 2021 20:59:50
Thought Wright played from the right.
8.) 05 Jul 2021 21:30:24
Wright can play on both wingsðŸ‘.
9.) 05 Jul 2021 22:05:46
Played from the right anytime I've seen him for us.

I am surprised that our former stars Ryan Jack and Kemar Roofe are still without a team. We all know their injury problems, but nobody took a chance on them.
1.) 10 Oct 2024 13:19:38
Ryan jack plays in turkey and has been playing regular.
2.) 10 Oct 2024 13:38:30
Ryan Jack playing in the Turkish second division. Roofe is currently injured.
3.) 10 Oct 2024 13:38:38
Soccerfan, ryan jack is playing his football for a club in turkey my friend ?.
4.) 10 Oct 2024 13:44:09
Jack would walk into ant team in Scotland outside the old firm and to be fair he walks into ours if fit, when it comes to Roofe teams find out about their injuries and most of all their attitude to playing when out, a think the only team to take chances on injury prone players are us and struggle to think when it’s worked out for us, Mark Hately probably the last one that’s worked out ??♂️.
5.) 10 Oct 2024 14:19:14
Did not know that Ryan Jack is playing somewhere. I checked out that 2nd division Turkish club and I never heard of it. I was expecting him to go a higher caliber team. But I am glad he is continuing his career.
6.) 10 Oct 2024 14:22:38
Death, taxes, and Roofe injured.
7.) 10 Oct 2024 12:46:29
Not surprised about Roofe. He's barely been fit for the last 8 years but sure Jack got a 2nd division Turkish club.
8.) 10 Oct 2024 12:53:19
Didn't Ryan Jack sign for a second division team in Turkey?
9.) 10 Oct 2024 18:30:10
Still think a lot of Roofe injuries were in his head, but do actually feel a tad sorry for him because he could have had a great career.
04 Oct 2024 13:44:37
I see that everyone is upset with Cerny and Tav, but no one says anything about Connor Barron. I think he had a horrific game. Diomande was not at his best either.
Too bad Olaru does not play in our game with FCSB, but we could watch their forward, Birligea. I think he is made of the same material as Morelos.
1.) 04 Oct 2024 14:50:03
Soccer fan, tbh, I think young Barron is ok, no more than that, and yes, like few others was rotten last night, some on here would have you believe he's the next Barry Ferguson!
2.) 04 Oct 2024 15:00:03
Barrons first bad game and he was put out to dry by the manager.
Tav has been a constant let down for ages now and the fans are sick of it.
Cerny came in with some "merit/ hype" and has only disappointed.
3.) 04 Oct 2024 15:34:23
For goodness sake give the young boy a break. I think he's been a superb signing so far.
4.) 04 Oct 2024 15:57:49
Soccerfan I said same thing last night, all the hype is absolutely bewildering to me. I actually feel for him, why we took a boy from Aberdeen who wasn't guaranteed a game, brought him to rangers and made him a first team regular is beyond me, it's so obvious the boy isn't ready imo. He'll work harder than anyone else, is that really enogh? Its such an integral position to try control games, i don't beleive he's ready for atm.
5.) 04 Oct 2024 15:58:12
Barron has done well in just about every other game though. Cerny and Tav have shown very little.
6.) 04 Oct 2024 16:38:41
The manager hasn't quite grasped what a full back should do and the left peg guy on the right is coming a nonsense, so easy to read for any left back it would take only the first 30 secs to sort him out. If he ever gets to the by line he will take fright and probably fall on his arse and the astonishing sitter he missed tells us his left peg ain't a wand either. Why oh why didn't his previous club love him . a mystery is it no? Matondo and him in the same side would send the punters mental.
7.) 04 Oct 2024 16:43:20
Barron didn't have a good game but at least he put the effort in. Not only is Tavernier poor at defending but this jogging back instead of running back is becoming more blatant game by game. Czerny offers nothing going forward or tracking back and is living off a goal against Motherwell and a couple of assists.
8.) 04 Oct 2024 16:53:14
Barron did have a shocker but will learn as for dio when did he last have a good game? He's our no10 yet doesn't create doesn't score and imo 4.5m seems an awful lot ATM.
9.) 04 Oct 2024 16:54:53
Ally a poster on here wrote Cerny could end up player of the year. He's been disappointing and needs to up everything about his game.
10.) 04 Oct 2024 17:06:39
Barron? "Boy isn't ready". honestly man, our fans at times, he's been overall our best player so far this year, ridiculous comment.
11.) 04 Oct 2024 17:19:09
Cerny has zero pace. I think we should be getting away from that. We all saw last night what real pace can do.
12.) 04 Oct 2024 18:20:50
Barron is the most overrated player we have had in along time and I ain’t saying he is a bad player just nowhere near as good as some think on here.
13.) 04 Oct 2024 19:36:02
Boyblue - dunno where you get the Barron stuff ie is he ready yet?
As McEnroe said - You cannot be serious! Cost a goal other night and now hung out to dry when he has been the hardest working and most consistent player we have had all season - come on sir?.
14.) 04 Oct 2024 19:49:45
Gjd, our best player for what? What has he done? Runs about looking busy taking the ball of the centre backs makes 3/4 yard passes, when it comes to actually making a decent pass, he gets found out. I've nothing against the boy it's too much too soon.
You need to be a really good passer of the ball in that position, unfortunately for us he isn't, yet! We will never win titles with him and dio in the middle of the park. Both of them missing against celtic, lyon, Ukrainians, hearts even against hibs, motherwell, second half of the Dundee utd game. So when is it he was good?
25 Sep 2024 01:27:38
Rangers FC is a professional football club and should behave as such.
It is not possible to have an international player of Hagi's quality rot in the B team.
In a worst case scenario, he should be released from contract, as no one in their right mind will pay what Rangers want for him.
1.) 25 Sep 2024 09:03:22
Don't know what world you live in soccerfan. Why would Hagi simply walk away from the remainder of his contract? He would want a large payoff. You cannot just pat him on the head and say that's your contract ripped up. now off you go back to daddy.
2.) 25 Sep 2024 09:06:06
Hagi is a professional football player and should behave as such.
He's ( and his Dad ) been trying to engineer a move away from rangers for well over a year.
There is ways to go about things. Talented player who lacks an engine and is suddenly realising that no one in their right mind will pay him what he is looking for.
3.) 25 Sep 2024 11:03:12
MPH, that's simply not true. Beale wanted him out and gave him little option but to accept the loan move to Spain. On his return, he was told he wouldn't be selected as the club cannot afford the increase in pay that is in his contract. Hagi is being professional and playing where he is told to, and starring for the team. Agreed, that should not be difficult. He is a very talented player who does have the engine required to complete his job, he deserves the chance to show what he can do.
4.) 25 Sep 2024 11:26:03
Morelos was trying to engineer a move for 18 months but wasnt treated anywhere near as bad as Hagi.
5.) 25 Sep 2024 11:28:52
That’s utter nonsense bigger clubs than us have done it with players.
6.) 25 Sep 2024 11:28:52
That’s utter nonsense bigger clubs than us have done it with players.
7.) 25 Sep 2024 11:49:34
Correct Dailly, Morelos got away with murder. Although we didn't owe his former team money if he played more.
8.) 25 Sep 2024 11:49:52
Well said MPH he wanted away, no-one came in for him and now he loves the club and wants to play for us.
9.) 25 Sep 2024 11:56:16
You're right Dailyloyal, Morelos was a professional footballer. He and his agent tried to engineer a move away for 3 years. There is ways to go about things but downing tools, getting fat and unfit and being petulant is not the way to go about things. He quickly realised that he never ever had the quality to make the top 5 leagues and no one would pay the ridiculous money he was looking for.
10.) 25 Sep 2024 12:08:05
No club nor player can rip up a contract without financial repercussions. FACT.
11.) 25 Sep 2024 12:26:52
He could of left but decided to stay knowing he would be in B team, wages more important than playing football which is fair enough but Rangers not hid anything from him.
12.) 25 Sep 2024 12:36:09
The club kept on giving Morelos a wage rise with the understanding that if a bid came in that they found acceptable he would be allowed to leave. huge asset and critical to the first team.
Whereas the club don't think Hagi is worth what they are currently paying him, or the agreed increase if a clause is met and he isn't part of the managers plans or critical to the first team.
13.) 25 Sep 2024 12:36:38
Hagi was available all summer and had been putting it out there that he wanted a move and yet nobody came in to buy him or even loan him it appears. His loan spell at Alaves was pretty poor so clubs are now wary of him.
The only offers he got were from Romania but they were offering less money so he wouldn't go, so even if we were offering to rip up his contract why would he accept that and lose his wages plus he can't sign for anybody now until the window opens anyway.
We are paying him, allowing him to train and playing him in B team games so both he and the club are honouring his contract. Personally, if and it's a big if, we didn`t owe him a pay rise and Genk a hefty fee if he plays a game then I would like to see him back in the squad, he's certainly better than the likes of Dowell in forward positions.
14.) 25 Sep 2024 13:21:30
very true dailyloyal
why does Hagi recieve different treatment from morelos?
anyone remember Gerrard came out and he could not pick morelos as his head was elsewhere when he wanted away,
then he was accepted back into the fold so why not Hagi?
why are the fams on here so against Hagi but backed morelos to the hilt evven when he downed tools?

How much did the club end up getting for Morelos?
16.) 25 Sep 2024 14:13:52
there is a difference between being able to afford the extra wages and being willing to pay them. I suspect even if those wages weren't to be increased PC doesn't see him as the answer on RW or at number 10 possibly as he was bleating all summer about wanting to leave and his agent saying he would pay himself to get that move. He scores 2 goals (free kicks) against the U21s of a 3rd tier team and he is suddenly the messiah.
if we could just rip up the contract without the cost don't you think we would have done it by now. he will want a pay off of the remainder of his salary (£20k PW x 2 years) . then I think as free agent he could sign for someone else straight away if they wanted him.
17.) 25 Sep 2024 14:23:58
Good accurate post re hagi imo, Wsl.
18.) 25 Sep 2024 16:06:58
Its quite easy to explain Coisty, it's called double standards, hypocritical, contradictory.
19.) 25 Sep 2024 16:22:56
Yes we do remember Coisty, some will choose not to remember. I remember one or two posters also calling out Morelos for his attitude long before it came out and lost of posters making up excuses.
20.) 25 Sep 2024 17:07:21
I just wish we had an on fire Morelos leading the line tommorow night, thinking he wasn't a quality cf tells me enough, terrorised a German wc cb and the full Dortmund backline, our best cf for a long time, Morelos has wasted his career, he should have moved to France.
21.) 25 Sep 2024 17:17:16
Coisty, Alfredo got dogs abuse on here from the majority.
Coldo, it’s not double standards at all. Where is your wonder striker playing these days colak.
22.) 25 Sep 2024 17:35:44
wsl's post gives a good detail on Hagi's posturing over the summer and PC saying he only wanted to work with players who wanted to be here. so is the difference between Morelos and Hagi as simple as the different manager.
but also Morelos scored 124 goals (36 game winning) Hagi 16 (7) so was more important to the team.
23.) 25 Sep 2024 17:40:50
Hagi isn't worth the extra money. We need rid of him in January.
24.) 25 Sep 2024 17:52:45
same situation as Michael Ball donkeys ago.
25.) 25 Sep 2024 18:52:01
Is that the same Gerrard that refused to sell Morelos after 55, Coisty?
Oh, and Morelos was pivotal to the team.
Hagi isn’t. And never has been.
26.) 25 Sep 2024 19:41:37
Hagi Might just need a run of games he was bought for a reason?
seems money is in the way not that the club thinks he’s it good enough or tried to engineer a move
John did you not say club told him he was free to find another club along with various others including tavernier Dowell etc
Infact did clement not come out in May and say Butland was the only one not for sale?
So surely Hagi like the rest may well have looked and like a few others was unfortunate in finding a suitable move
Playing him in B squad isn’t going to benefit us whatsoever.
Also I’m sure if we wanted to pay him off we could after all we’re sitting g paging him his wage what’s the difference
Did heart and hand also not report he had accepted a new contract on reduced terms?
Do we know if any truth in this?
27.) 25 Sep 2024 19:45:07
Hagi also signed a new contract with the club in 2022?
So something isn’t adding up here guys
New contract 2022 and also reported he signed a new contract with reduced terms apparently in August?
28.) 25 Sep 2024 20:05:17
I'm with you stig, something going on we're not being told?.
29.) 25 Sep 2024 20:44:11
Stig yes I did, although I never said tav was told specifically he could go.
30.) 25 Sep 2024 22:36:48
Sorry John I’m just trying to show Hagi along with others were told to find a club by our manager and our club for whatever reason
I do think the player as in Hagi had done anything wrong as far as I know?
I’m just wondering why he is being treated differently
As posts above and beyond on these pages you look at Morelos and Goldson and Roofe and helander Jack
Wright etc etc all had various concerns and contracts running down injuries and wanting to leave etc etc
Non of them above had to go play in the B squad and be individually singled out
Which is why I find it very bizarre by the manager and the club to be singling out Hagi for this special treatment
and I can’t say who is in the right or wrong as I’m not privy to all the details
All I can say at this moment is I’d give Hagi a chance to shine again and see what he can do unless we find out otherwise that he’s done something unforgivable.
10 Sep 2024 00:18:58
Ianis Hagi after the game he obtained the penalty kick with which Romania won the game vs Lithuania: "I am a Rangers player. I love this club. I just want to play football"
He already agreed to lower wages, it is just the reported 1 million we need to pay Genk (if true. ) . Wouldn't we get 1 million more than what we get now (ie zero) if we play him.
1.) 10 Sep 2024 07:57:58
How do you know he has agreed to lower wages?
2.) 10 Sep 2024 08:44:30
It's a tricky one but we need to be spending less money than we have been. Will he be good enough in Scottish football?
3.) 10 Sep 2024 08:49:41
Last year of his contract I believe . so he will leave for free in the summer. Or we (allegedly) pay 1 million now and get a new player, fit and hungry, with a point to prove - could use a few of them. , play the lad.
4.) 10 Sep 2024 10:15:30
so if he was earning the new figure of a reported £26k per week and had been in the team for OF would people be saying to get rid as we need to get rid of high earners. BTW I amine he gets the extra £6k and Gent get £1M but he would still leave for free next year.
He also came on as a sub in 70th minute for Romania so their coach doesn't see him as the answer for them.
He still gets paid his original £20k per week its not as if we have reneged on the contract we are just unwilling to increase it at a time when we are reducing the wage bill and PC and club don't see the value in paying more.
5.) 10 Sep 2024 12:38:26
I like the boy but he has only started this I love Rangers stuff because he didn`t get a move. We are also getting a campaign from Romania about how good he is but he rarely starts for the national team. He has left most of his clubs because he couldn`t cut it, even out on loan. I have never read we owe Genk £1 million if he plays another game but if that's true I wouldn`t play him . If its just his wages then, he would need to forego the extra that would be due and sign on for another couple of years at the same or less money before I would play him . That way he wouldn`t be leaving on a free in the summer . If all that could be worked out we should get him back in the squad and give him the chance to earn his wages. He`s no worse than Lawrence and Dowell.
6.) 10 Sep 2024 13:26:22
20 minutes for Romania and he is now apparently going to rescue Rangers season?.
7.) 10 Sep 2024 14:29:17
Ianis hagi 20 thousand quid a week, how has this boy even got such a contract he's not even nearly value for money. His dad has a big influence in Romania, the fact he still doesn't get a start for them speaks volumes. You can only live of your dad's name for so long, feel that's coming to an end.
8.) 10 Sep 2024 16:18:09
He clearly won't play again. Not sure what he was told but he should have been told if you want a chance of playing again this season you go out on loan.
9.) 10 Sep 2024 16:27:32
We really need to move on from the Hagi chat, he was never worth £20k a week and he is definitely not worth more than that now.
Yes it gives us another option but its a pointless option that wouldn't chance the game so save the money and leave him to play in the B team. Also agreed that he's giving it the "i love Rangers" chat now because no one else wants him.
No one wants to buy him now and no one will want to buy him in a year or so, so he will leave for free and that will free up cash for newer cheaper players.
Happy Days!
02 Sep 2024 14:49:34
I do not see why we would give Clement more time we gave to Gio and Beale. I will not discuss Beale, as he was an impostor that wasted lots of funding for the "rebuild".
To Gio we gave him no funding, no time and he still got us to UCL and Europa league final. And yes, he knew how to win a league, as he did it with Feyenoord in a better league than the Belgian one.
Yes, Clement won the league twice in Belgium, but that league is worse than SPL, just remember that only recently we handily eliminated Union St. Gilloise, Standard Liege, and Royal Antwerp. On one hand, we cannot change managers and players every year, but on the other, PC got nothing special, he brought lots of players and no results, no style of play, no attitude.
Many are saying "we need better", but it seems we mostly get worse. Personally, Clement does not inspire me as the manager that will bring us success at home and in Europe. He always looks to justify failure. Moreover, when PC told everybody,
but Butland, that they could leave, lost the support of most players. We need a better manager, someone with energy, enthusiasm, for whom the players are giving their all.
1.) 02 Sep 2024 15:19:54
Soccer fan
Bit rash, league outside Tim debacle doing OK and his rebuild top notch I say but LBH he is only beginning rebuild and I'll wait patiently for now. Think some purchases so far been masterstroke. Just bit time to gel. My only worry defence because not sure Proper will cut it. But I wait to be proved wrong.
2.) 02 Sep 2024 15:39:11
I honestly thought Clement was the man but now I’m not so sure .
We need a hard taskmaster that demands a performance from each and every player what we have is a big soft manager that the players are not busting a gut for. The fear of being on the bench is not a tool big Phil wants to use, we all thought Tav would have a bad day and he did, we all thought they would run through our midfield unchallenged and they did, we then thought our striker would miss a couple of chances he did. I don’t think we should replace the manager atm but he won’t be allowed too many more no shows like that .
01 Oct 2024 15:46:31
This has made my day. The boy is an absolute professional and he loves the club. I hope he gets some chances to show what he can do.
Despite some posters' opinions (I know we cannot agree on everything :), it is not about thew money, but the love for the beautiful game.
24 Sep 2024 13:04:36
sure. cannot wait for the next manager to get the new rebuild and his own players in.
is Clement the right manager for us? not sure. I cannot believe we did not support Gerrard, then we did not support Gio, we left him with King and Sands to battle in UCL - madness.
15 Sep 2024 16:26:34
Totally agree with you LH. Whoever took the decision on dropping him to the B team, still paying lots and wages and hoping to sell him for millions is not very intelligent, to say the least.
What are we expecting, that someone will buy him from the B team in January and pay us millions? Let's be clear, this is a loss-loss situation, and unless someone gets a neuron working is damaging the player's career and Rangers reputation.
30 Aug 2024 15:58:52
Absolutely right.
Great post!
21 Aug 2024 19:34:18
There is no way Rapid Bucharest could afford to pay 3M for Hagi, plus his salary.
On the other hand, I think something happened with Hagi when he was at Genk; Clement, still having friends in the club, got an image of Ianis not being a good professional, but he was 19 at that time. Since then Gerrard and Gio (even Alaves' coach) indicated he is an absolute professional.
10 Oct 2024 14:19:14
Did not know that Ryan Jack is playing somewhere. I checked out that 2nd division Turkish club and I never heard of it. I was expecting him to go a higher caliber team. But I am glad he is continuing his career.
05 Oct 2024 04:47:47
We desperately need him. He might not start, but he played 90 minutes for the B team, 20-30 minutes for Romania team. He is fit.
If PC does not want to use him, he will say that he is not ready, but that could be a costly lie.
02 Oct 2024 14:18:32
PC said now that he was not with the first team due to a contract situation. Until now he implied that he is not good enough. It seems to me that Clement had some issues with Genk, where he played and coached. He did not want them to get the extra 1.4 mil due to Hagi playing another game. It is a possibility that Hagi accepted a major reduction in salary to offset this payment - just a supposition.
Happy that Ianis is back!
25 Sep 2024 20:50:24
In all this Hagi discussion, John - I reply to you, as a valuable contributor to this site (along others) - as I respect your opinion.
Hagi never said he wants away from Ibrox. When he left for Alaves he wrote a post saying that he wants to be back as he has unfinished business. During the Euro, he said that he instructed his agents to find him a club where he is wanted, and he even specified that it may be Rangers. The boy just wants to play, he is not a money-driven player.
All the other BS is given by the crazy italian-romanian agent who is not actually his agent. He had to post about this because was going out of control with the guy.
15 Sep 2024 00:13:01
How about if we tie? ;)
