Rangers Banter

Just reading through the rumours
So do we think it's a given Tav and Goldson will be on their way this summer I can see it from both sides the club will make money from both players and also save money on their salary
And the players will no doubt get a very good deal which I will assume will be their last big pay day if they do indeed go over with Gerrard

And reading between the lines sounds like Butland will be in the move does anyone know what his contract is? Has he got a release clause in it? if so how much?
Wonder who we will find to replace him with

And my last question is who do we all think will be our next captain?

27 Apr 2024 08:24:37
He hasn’t got a release clause this was clear in jan when Forrest bid more than what the release clause was reported mate.

27 Apr 2024 08:26:49
We are going to need to have our best ever pre season if we are losing goldson tav lundstram amd butland, no ones overly happy with the striker position either so potentially the entire spine of the squad is going to leave and be replaced, we also have a problem at full back and we have no wingers. Clement and the recruitment staff have their work cut out big time.

Evening All,

I may have missed something in recent weeks when I've been travelling but what has/ is happening with Ben Davies?

Is it injury or ongoing personal issues?

26 Apr 2024 23:07:46
I don't have a clue what is happening with him but he can't be injured as Clement never mentions his name when he goes through his weekly long list of injured players. I just think Clement doesn't rate him.
I hope that you got some sun burn and hangovers on your travels.

27 Apr 2024 04:16:07
He’s been listed on the bench in nearly every recent squad, would suggest he’ll be moved on in the summer.

27 Apr 2024 06:17:43
The manager just doesn’t fancy him by the looks of it.

27 Apr 2024 06:26:05
Has he not had his troubles to seek outwith football, sure someone posted on here in relation to that.

27 Apr 2024 07:30:29
He did Fork. The big guy's wife was very sick and he helped nurse her through a torrid time, and I believe this is a factor in him not being able to settle up here.

Look, the guy wasn't that bad! Apart from one horrendous mistake against them, and a couple of wee mistakes, has he really been that bad? Is he any worse than Goldson?

27 Apr 2024 07:40:28
Thanks lads. Just thought i'd missed someting.

Three Cheers - unfortunately no sun. Airport-car-hotel room- construction site-airport-rinse and repeat.

26 Apr 2024 17:24:48
Clement saying he expects Tav and Goldson to be here next season and he hopes Lundstram will sign a new contract. Can’t wait to be discussing the same issues this time next season.

26 Apr 2024 19:28:07
You prefer him saying Lundstram will be away and Tavernier and Goldson will be sold with us chasing a treble david?

26 Apr 2024 19:47:42
Good response from Clement.

26 Apr 2024 20:16:02
I've said all along on here that imo our captain james tavernier won't be going anywhere and will stay with rangers for the rest of his career 🤔I stand to be proved wrong.

26 Apr 2024 20:30:36
Still think he'll go tbh SWS, but your right, time will tell bud.

26 Apr 2024 20:46:01
Hopefully all 3 move on. We need a big change up from celtic trouncing us every season in trophies.

26 Apr 2024 21:16:53
Pointless question to ask at this juncture. His answer was always going to be the obligatory "I expect them to be here next season" then if they go. "Situation changed".

26 Apr 2024 22:01:49
Fair points but I think it’s more wishful thinking than anything if people believe any of the 3 will go. I’ll go out on a limb and say it but there’s absolutely no chance Lundstram goes to that team in turkey. Championship maybe but no way he goes there.

26 Apr 2024 23:43:56
For me Goldson, Barasic, lundsram and Tav can't be here next season if we want to win trophies on a regular basis. I think it was MPH who posted, you can't have sentimentality in football, I couldn't agree more.

27 Apr 2024 06:20:12
U got told yesterday that all managers are liars so will take it with a pinch of salt when he answered that question.

27 Apr 2024 06:30:25
He's hardly going to come out n say, aye were getting shot of our defence, some of the midfield and maybe some forwards, think a few will go and some younger players with potential sell on will come in.

27 Apr 2024 07:26:45
My gut feeling is that the time is right for change- so should Goldson and Tavs leave that's fine (plus good few others no doubt) - the old school have done their job and time for some new recruits - they have done as much as they can for the club and if we leave it longer again there will be no cash at all from them in any resale value so thanks for the memories and let's see the new regime take shape big Phil👍.

27 Apr 2024 07:38:00
End of the day clement needs to say that but it's ultimately up to the board to accept an offer then down to the player. Personaly if we get offered above 5 million I think the board accepts it. player trading is key.

27 Apr 2024 07:56:29
My opinion is that we are stale in certain positions that have long term incumbents in them, if we want to be a better team, we have to change, and more important get some money to go towards any replacements. Although there is criticism of Tav, Goldson and Lundstrum, there is also a bit of trepidation in a lot of comments that we will struggle to replace them, if that's the case, we'll just keep failing long term, just my opinion folks. If Clement wants to keep all 3, I'd be gobsmacked, and I think eventually they would cost him his job at Rangers.

26 Apr 2024 15:35:13
Apparently our captain has been made an official offer to join Gerrard in Saudi. What do we think would be a satisfactory offer given that he is our talisman and skipper?

26 Apr 2024 15:54:15
well if he has been offered something the club must have given permission to speak to him.

26 Apr 2024 16:23:18
Where you seeing that, P.O.B.?

26 Apr 2024 16:45:26
Can they do that? i'm not so sure.

26 apr 2024 17:12:13
bye talisman, never a skipper imo

least medals of any “skipper” in my time i believe.

celtic love him tho.

26 Apr 2024 17:32:30
I'd hope for 6/ 7m for tav he's only 31 never injured has 2 years left to run and is the highest scoring def in British history, personally I'd keep him but gladly sell goldson.

26 Apr 2024 17:32:05
what do we consider a lot of money fod the really 10 mill and we should
be happy one 32 and the other over
30 and getting very slow.

26 Apr 2024 19:39:08
I agree with you on that TT.

26 Apr 2024 19:39:42
I know he gets it non stop on here but Tav is our captain, top scorer at right back and in running for PoTY. I would expect circa 10 million for him as I don't see why we should take less for such an important player.

Goldson, 2 to 3 million at most. Just not the same profile or level that Tav is on.

If we got around 10 for both it would be fine by me. Both been good servants to the club and would let them get a last good payday in thier careers.

26 Apr 2024 19:46:16
I hope this move happens. we need a new defence.

26 Apr 2024 20:08:25
Tavs done and so is Goldson. We need better.

26 Apr 2024 20:23:25
Only way that can happen if club have given him permission and fact we are willing to sell. but would be unlikely at this stage of season but if this is the case time to take Tav out of team although not deliberately he would be conscious of pick up injury that could scupper deal.

26 Apr 2024 20:30:04
TT do you think if we had the best right back in Europe as our captain we’d have won anymore titles? The reason we’ve won so little isn’t down to Tav being our captain. And how many other captains in your lifetime have seen the club thrown down to the lower leagues for the irresponsible handling of our club? To blame the lack of trophies on Tav is just a witch hunt and not a credible arguement.

26 Apr 2024 20:47:40
One walter tav will be 33 in octover so just after start of new season.

26 apr 2024 21:03:50
alloa, you appear to have deduced that i blame tav for not winning more trophies, i do, along with quite a few others, not just him didn't win

i'm saying as a top quality captain he's lacking in many things, that's my opinion, but i understand and respect some who think he's great, remember many of the great goals and pens have came against dross in Scotland, scarceky won an old firm game that mattered and along with his English pals he bottled the europa cup final, and the did bottle it, game was thrown away, just like this title, if that's what happens, so yes i admire the goals, no he ain't no great skipper for me.

27 Apr 2024 06:24:01
Other players can score pens, dessers has 2 for 2 how many goals would he be on if he took all the pens? Over the last few years not many of our strikers have hit over 20 goals a season I think Alfredo done it once in all games in a season and he never took pens either much.
