An old colleague who has retired to Bodrum in Turkey tells me today there's a story kicking round there that Trabzonspor are interested in signing Borna Barisic. Probably just throwing names out to keep their fans happy, which is a sport in itself in Turkey.
26 Mar 2021 16:02:38
I honestly think borna barisic could well be sold because of age and sell on value will start diminishing soon š¤I however hope to god we don't sell borna, as i truly believe he'll be one of the most difficult to replace š.
26 Mar 2021 16:13:40
Think personally myself borna with coming up to 30 will want a big move to a top league b4 he retires.
26 Mar 2021 17:30:34
Borna will not be leaving for a club like Trabzonspor.
26 Mar 2021 19:22:10
Dk19 how do you know lol. fact is you don't know.
26 Mar 2021 19:38:04
Just an opinion DD same as you and everyone else on here - trust thatās ok?
26 Mar 2021 20:43:20
along with a rumour? surely dk!
26 Mar 2021 22:09:19
Roma apparently where he will be gong.
27 Mar 2021 09:03:27
I think at Bornaās age he is more likely to stay to play champions league football win trophies and play for a club he loves.
27 Mar 2021 09:45:16
Like a lot of our players the Euros could be pivotal. If any perform to a high standard we might cash in.
I want all our top players to stay but we do need to be prudent and the odd Ā£10-20m player sale strengthens our bank balance and options to replace players.
In a perfect world we qualify for Champions league group stage giving us an opportunity to strengthen again further.
How this squad has evolved value wise in 4 Windows is remarkable.
Kamara Ā£50k, Aribo dev fee, Barisic Ā£2m, Kent Ā£7m umpteen brilliant Bosmans and Alfredo before that for Ā£1m squad must be worth Ā£50-100m easily.
26 Mar 2021 07:50:28
Just in the last 20minutes i've been told that celtic will be making moves to sign aberdeen midfielder lewis ferguson, this summer. I'm not revealing my source as this guy is usually on the ball and worked many years at rangers. He got told by someone currently employed at rangers that this is the case š¤ Don't shoot the messenger only passing on info fellow bears.
26 Mar 2021 08:05:59
Sgl good news re Ferguson.
26 Mar 2021 08:08:30
So does that mean that celtic still have a mole at large.?
Letting Rangers employees know their transfer business shocking š± I thought leaking teamsheets was bad but the mole has reached new depths with this news and Celtic will need to dig deeper in search of mr mole.
26 Mar 2021 08:08:50
How good is your info šš.
26 Mar 2021 08:10:37
Thank goodness. It means we will no longer be linked with a player with limited ability but a famous name. š¤.
26 Mar 2021 08:17:22
100% correct mr ph. Iām told they are also signing Gallagher and OāDonnell. We can only hope so.
26 Mar 2021 08:17:52
Hope itās not the same source that shared the bad news about WS cause they have lost all credibility.
26 Mar 2021 08:33:24
I thought you'd stopped all that nonsense SGL, think about it, your mate got told off his mate who has no connection to the tims that he knows their signing plans for next season. I prefer the petrol station rumours.
26 Mar 2021 09:15:34
Thank the gods! The Ferguson rumours are worse than Dykes! Use our own academy for homegrown players and sign quality from abroad. No need for average players to make up numbers now.
26 Mar 2021 10:06:53
Fingers crossed John25.š¤
That's taking downsizing to a whole new level if they sign the 3 mentioned.
26 Mar 2021 11:13:53
Might be part of some deal involving swap with broon.
Will be interesting to see if it happens and what money changes hands.
26 Mar 2021 11:18:41
Exactly MPH š Lewis Ferguson nowhere near good enough for the teddy bears šLet him go to them.
26 Mar 2021 11:46:58
Browns contract is up so no swap deal.
26 Mar 2021 12:03:54
The Lewis Ferguson rumour was all over place yesterday. Not exactly anything new.
26 Mar 2021 12:13:23
Really hope he does go to celtic. Massively over rated.
26 Mar 2021 12:23:27
He may be Paul
But not by many football people, some believe heās got big potential, we have seen Ranger supporting boys end up at Celtic and lived to regret it before.
26 Mar 2021 12:32:22
I like Ferguson but would t pay anymore than Ā£2m for him. So it wouldnāt happen. Heās a good player. I also really relate OāDonnell I think heās a cracking full back. Gallagher anytime Iāve seen him for Scotland has been immense so tbh their not bad signings guys. It all depends on the rest of the team as I see Celtic need img over 10 new face this summer maybe around 13. There will be a mass exodus of the talent. With the fringe players not good enough anyway so they really have a lot of work to do and quickly.
26 Mar 2021 12:34:01
I'll be honest. I rate Lewis Ferguson.
I think rangers will also bid for the lad in the summer.
26 Mar 2021 12:42:00
DK19, you certainly didn't read any post belonging to me regarding me stating any source regarding sir walter š¤ When it's someone's health, i take nothing to do with that pal and you're obviously getting me mixed up with someone else!
26 Mar 2021 13:09:13
Dont believe he's that good so if he moves to Celtic it weakens there stating 11 in my eyes.
26 Mar 2021 13:54:05
I agree, the boy could be very good,
Itās very strange we see talk of anything from 10 -30 million for Ian is hagi, many more millions for almost every rangers player, yet mention replacements at coppers in comparison, inger if you wouldnāt pay more than 2 m for him, and wouldnāt pay 3 million for doing, why would you think other clubs would pay fortunes for our best players?
26 Mar 2021 14:19:59
Hello Tom, my reason I wouldnāt pay more than Ā£2m for Ferguson is we got jack davis and arfield for free, Ā£50k
For Kamara and Ā£350 for aribo if Iām right? Who are all better than Ferguson? Agreed? for a combined Ā£400k mate. So IMO our Scouting team and football department wonāt be looking at paying Ā£2m for a squad player from spfl or Ā£3m for a young full back from spfl When we have Bassey and The 2 young boys on loan who Are very. Decent players. I think our aim is to bring through youth or sign Ā£1-3m players from Europe and Bering them on to sell at high prices. Same as Celtic done for years. Iād pay Ā£2m for doig n same for Ferguson. Wouldnāt pay anymore. I get your point though. Also the reason our players are worth more money is we are undefeated league champions who have performed above n beyond expectations in Europe for 3 years running now. Also film internationals for countryās like Croatia Columbia, Hagi scoring the winner as a late sub for romania last night, we have all that on out side. The stats of goals and assists and fouls won etc are all taken into account when players
Are being looked at and we have players with outstanding stats. Thatās how I see it anyway mate ā¤ļøš¤š.
26 Mar 2021 14:57:35
Why would we pay Ā£2 - Ā£3 million for someone that doesn't even get into our starting 11? That doesn't even make sense.
Plus Lewis is getting extra Kudos by some on here because his second name is Ferguson.
Any time he plays against us he is a hatchet man. In a Rangers jersey he becomes a liability and would get sent off every 2nd week.
Plus comparing him to Hagi is total nonsense. They play in different positions plus Hagi has done it at Europa League and International level.
26 Mar 2021 15:27:20
Ingerr, I don't want to upset you or anyone else, but,
By yiur reckoning, because Rangers found some players who were cheap, or at the end of they're career and wanted to return, then we should just stick to the lidl and aldi shops in the off chance we get another team to win the league, cheap? i'm well aware that some of our players are worth a lot more than the boys mentioned , at the moment , I am still in shock that we can demand 20 million fir ianiss hagi, yet say we won't pay 2 million for a young full back to replace the one we expect 20 million fur, or 2m for a young midfielder to replace the one we want 20 for?
Why on earth would we not replace with good proven spl players who are young and talented , its all good and well finding players at aldi for 300g, but sometimes clubs want the proper value, , just like you say Rangers do, surely 2 or 3 million is good value if your following a model of selling on for 10,20 million later on, if your lucky.
26 Mar 2021 15:31:51
Also mate, and this is important ,
If other clubs watch Rangers selling players for mumillions, then try to buy they're ayers for peanuts, it will not only be unbeneficial to Rangers but also cause a brand new dislike of Rangers across the board, some clubs don't like seeing big clubs taking they're young players for nothing you must pay the piper nowadays, especially when yiur raking in plenty its the plan of course to buy cheap and sell big
But that shouldn't and won't mean 300k every time, or cektic will pay the 3 m or someone in England , and Rangers will be left looking stupid, if Rangers want any young lksyer they must pay the piper,
26 Mar 2021 16:16:22
Knew it wouldnāt be far away, who compared hagi to Ferguson
Who gives Ferguson ā extra kudosā because of his name?
And someone earlier actually did say āhagis name was a ā brandā
Not me, Iām talking about paying for young talent before selling on
I never once said Rangers should sign either of these players did I?
26 Mar 2021 16:10:26
We paid Ā£3.5m for itten and he's doesn't get into the starting 11 that often mph. š¤
Signing for rangers could be the making of him (like jack)
So paying Ā£2-3m for a young, talented Scottish player who has improved season by season doesn't seem crazy to me.
26 Mar 2021 18:05:24
Itten and Roofe were both signed as we expected to sell Morelos ( fortunately the asking price wasn't met ) and we like to get our business done early.
Itten was already a Swiss International and doing the business at a decent level.
And when it comes down to it I don't rate Ferguson. IMHO he's found his level at Aberdeen.
But I respect your opinion MrGrumpy. š.
26 Mar 2021 18:16:20
We didn't pay anywhere near Ā£3.5million for cedric itten mate!
26 Mar 2021 18:20:59
Lewis Ferguson 2 million behave thatās 40 glen kamaras.
26 Mar 2021 18:39:36
Lewis Ferguson would be a good signing for the spl couldnāt see him getting much champions league action though. But SGL back to your original point until Celtic appoint their DOF and new manager I very much doubt they know what players are coming in never mind youāre unnamed source.
26 Mar 2021 19:09:01
A reported Ā£2.7m (sorry coopš)
It's all about opinions I guess, with regards potential player signings.
26 Mar 2021 21:23:30
It was a few months ago that I heard Celtic were interested in Ferguson but I havenāt heard anything recently. Gallagher and OāDonnell are more likely to end up at Aberdeen than Celtic.
27 Mar 2021 08:53:28
Nowhere near good enough, rank rotten I'm afraid.
27 Mar 2021 08:56:27
we should be buying all the best young Scottish players regardless ie
Nesbit
Ferguson
Shankland
Souttar if he's has a good come back
hickey.
27 Mar 2021 09:51:07
I rate Lewis Ferguson and think he would be ideal back up for Jack just sitting and protecting the back line with his great engine and tenacity to win a tackle, can also get forward and is a decent passer of the ball.
Jack not always fit and for Ā£2m Iād take him all day nothing to do with his dad heās been the best player out with old firm fir past couple of seasons and has stepped up every team he has played fir to become 1 of their best players he has a great attitude and I wouldnāt want him to go to Celtic tbh.
26 Mar 2021 06:06:32
Been told today by people close to the player that we have been in contact with QPR in regards to signing Tom Carrol in the summer, whether it's true or not, we will soon see. Source is a cousin of Lee Wallace and a mutual friend.
No cheeky replies that's what I've been told.
26 Mar 2021 08:38:46
Twisted not sure good enough. Struggles for game at QPR.
Is a free. Right enough.
26 Mar 2021 09:16:51
I hope not tt if truth be told that is one of the least exciting transfer rumours yet mate.
26 Mar 2021 11:55:06
So was Wright, until 2 games played,
26 Mar 2021 13:11:08
Gerrard knows what he wants so I'll trust his judgement. unsure the new boy that's on loan with wycombe will instantly make an impact and may be loaned out mid season.
26 Mar 2021 14:08:59
True Tom I didnāt fancy him but he looks a decent squad player tbf.
26 Mar 2021 14:23:03
I forgot about him davie thatās a good post mate when considering out options for next season I totally forgot about him. Be interesting to see how heās done anyone have any info?
26 Mar 2021 18:42:35
We need to be signing players good enough to make an impact on the champions league! Lunstrum is the the only name that Iāve heard recently that gets me moist.
