JJ on verge of signing for middlesburgh
Apparently
Feel bad for him - always thought he was going to do well for us
And wish he had
Might not have had a decent crack at it

Kimberi might be not too bad
Looks pacey and eye for goal
But that's you tube for you lol.

30 Jan 2020 22:41:25
That tackle was the end of him I think.

30 Jan 2020 22:45:27
Surely u don't need to watch youtube to know what type of player kamberi is? Ha.

30 Jan 2020 23:15:30
Marco - he only played 5 of 13 possible starts before the tackle. Gerrard just didn't want him, simple as.

30 Jan 2020 23:30:54
I know who he is but never really paid attention to be honest
Just another Hibs player never really watched him closely
Or followed him lol.

31 Jan 2020 01:04:56
Stig was that a poem?

31 Jan 2020 05:08:51
Gerrard seen him make a dodgy tackle and injure himself when he needed leaders instead of idiots. He ruined it for himself.

31 Jan 2020 06:12:57
So if Gerard doesn't want JJ, why sign him in the first place. He was playing well up until that tackle and injury. That tackle was misjudged and made out of frustration. He should have started that game instead of Gerard trying to play everything through the middle.

31 Jan 2020 06:24:52
Marco, surely he did want him or he wouldn’t have signed him?

31 Jan 2020 07:59:41
It leaves us short of options unless Middleton coming back into team.

31 Jan 2020 08:19:59
JJ was not good enough for us at Kilmarnock, but might get £1m for him if he does ok at Boro, so made business sense to sign him.

Barker, not good enough for us, should never have been signed.
Middleton released today.
Docherty to Hibs / Kamberi to us.
Flannagan to Fleetwood.

5 Out 3 in today.

31 Jan 2020 08:59:00
Not a fan of Glen Middleton at all. Also, if JJ does go you can’t just pin it on 1 incident in the Celtic game as Gerrard made a lot more mistakes that day than Jones. We all make mistakes.

31 Jan 2020 09:19:57
Middleton to me is just another carbon copy of gregg wylde will end up lower league england.

31 Jan 2020 12:26:27
Jordan jones was signed on a pre contract before Gerrard arrived so wasn’t one of Gerrard’s own signings. Would be disappointed to see him go as I feel he still has something to offer but the gaffer obviously doesn’t see something in him.

30 Jan 2020 19:53:30
Sky now reporting we have enquired about Kamberi on loan from Hibs with an option to buy.

30 Jan 2020 20:16:34
Interesting one.

30 Jan 2020 20:17:25
And he hates NL they had major issues at hibs.

30 Jan 2020 20:45:43
Maybe hell push it through though hibs will be having none of it.

30 Jan 2020 22:58:38
Unless we’re willing to furnish them with something of ours kinglaudrup.

I don’t know what to make of this one, always said he looked capable, on the fence as to whether he’d cut the mustard or not.

30 Jan 2020 14:17:57
Sky are reporting it now that Hagi is a done deal. Loan deal with option to buy.

30 Jan 2020 15:02:57
Awesome signing! Wow, his highlight reel is astounding. That's an inspiring signing that one. If there really is a buy option, he went for £3.5m to Genk, but his value is £5.5, which makes him quite pricey if he is a success. All the same, delighted we are his shop window for the rest of the season.

I would love to see Shankland arrive too. I think he would be a great loyal Ranger. Priceless that.

Any chance of a big name, bust the budget fella too? Am I just being greedy? :)

30 Jan 2020 15:24:10
If he is such a talent why are genk letting him out on loan?

30 Jan 2020 15:36:58
Think he will be class but please do t go buy youtube. It made pena look good. Strange that he only just signed 4 year deal for them in summer tho and already leaving onloan.

30 Jan 2020 15:44:51
Shem aye, plus we are skint an no mystery billionare as rumoured last year coming in January.

Was supposed to be a Chinese investor.

30 Jan 2020 15:53:31
Let's not get carried away just now cause of his surname. He can't get into the Genk team but if he is as half as good as his dad then he'll do well. Need a striker tho.

30 Jan 2020 16:07:43
He went to Genk for €8m according to the papers.

30 Jan 2020 16:32:08
SirStruth he has played 19 games so far for Genk, that's half the season. I can assure played decent in those games. Always reasons for loans, Hagi signing could mean Kent stays wider and more into games rather than trying to play wide but also be the creative 10. Hagi will be good signing, plus a forward then its been a good window. Last year euros he was stand out player.

30 Jan 2020 16:38:14
Can the lad play RF? 👍 Pretty sure that Chinese investor is involved with the club. He's bank rolling the wifeys football team.

30 Jan 2020 16:39:41
Hes a can fill that RW role we are crying out for and seems to have a bit of physcial strenght around him. No risk here as its just a loan.
Hopefully we go get shankland in before friday then il be happy.

30 Jan 2020 16:41:32
Bluebilly, I raised the same point about discussed investment, John25 replied saying that the investment was to be around the Spring of the year, he's normally on the ball with these sort of things. Let's just wait and see what happens before Saturday's signing deadline, none of us really know what's happening at present, we have to trust our Manager and DOF on this.

30 Jan 2020 16:41:36
Dont know much about Ianis but looks good on youtube like most players do lol. Just wondering why his club are letting him leave after only 6 months there.

30 Jan 2020 17:28:34
Hopefully he can play RF, we badly need to sort that position. 👍.

30 Jan 2020 17:56:16
1872RFC55

3 goals and 4 assists in 14 appearances a league far better than our own.

Only 21 years of age.

Stats are decent and similarly to Ryan Kent last season, stats do not tell a players full story - Kent many times starts a move and ends without him assisting or scoring, but was vital to the passage in play.

Lets look at the positives eh.

30 Jan 2020 18:04:35
Has any saw Hagi boy play iv not but how do yous no he's a wow player.

30 Jan 2020 18:51:17
At 21 with 10 caps for Romania and a CV including Genk and Fiorentina not to mention 7 goals and assists in 14 in the Jupiler League as a bit-part player?

The only reason he doesn't play every match there is the manager just doesn't like him.

This is a baller. Make no mistake.

30 Jan 2020 19:16:16
If Hagi Jr can adapt to the rubbishty hammer throwing league he will be rubbish hot.

30 Jan 2020 19:22:56
Cheersrfcrb1872 hel do me way that cv.

30 Jan 2020 21:32:37
He is such a good player that his team loaned him out and replaced him with eboue kouasi who can't get on the celtic bench.

30 Jan 2020 21:40:29
why did his team let him go on loan and sign a celtic flop in his place,

30 Jan 2020 23:37:10
A Celtic flop in his place? He's an Attacking mid that Celtic flop is a defensive midfielder. He didn't start many games because Genk play 343.

31 Jan 2020 00:45:43
It would appear, after a failed move to Fiorentina, where Hagi wasn't afforded the game time promised he moved to Genk to play, for £3.5million.

His transfer value since then, which rises by performance stats is now £5+mil. Value is a good indicator of a player. El buffallo is currently valued around the same on Transfermarkt as Hagi, and we all know what Alfie has done to grow that value.

I am very excited about Hagi, I didn't only base my Wow on youtube. I read a wee bit about his achievements and reports on him. I'm delighted he is here. that's the kind of signing I was hoping to see in a Rangers jersey tomorrow.

Shankland next please :)

Mibbe David Silva might dae us a turn, can Stevie not get Torres to phone him? :) lol.

31 Jan 2020 09:40:31
Pulling the young lads stats up does nt tell a story, Kent’s stats last year were poor and we wanted him back big time. Players like that offer much more than just stats, they beat a man, make space for others etc. if he’s as good or better than Kent we re laughing. imagine we end up with two Kent’s basically, with a top striker in front of them. If it does nt work out he goes back. good business loan with option it’s very popular these days.

31 Jan 2020 09:49:17
Said this to a few of my pals but i think we are preparing for Morelos departure at the end of the season. i'd play Hagi in a CF role with Kent on the left and Stewart on the right and play like Liverpool play with Firminio playing CF with the pace on either side pushing forward could be quite lethal. But at this moment i think we will play our usual formation, with Hagi in the kind of Right Inside forward role playing more as a number 10. on paper we play the 4-3-3 but in game this acts more as a 4-3-2-1 with our full backs offering our width.

30 Jan 2020 13:48:48
Heard a wee bit of chat about us going after a Tottenham striker called Troy Parrott on loan until the end of the season. Mourinho rates the guy but wants him to play regular and Gerrard couldn't give assurances that he would play every week. Its now on SSN that the guy might be away to the Dutch league.

30 Jan 2020 15:06:47
Mediocre. Best let him go to Alan Pardew's Den Haag team. I would rather play Greg Stewart as a striker thanks.

30 Jan 2020 19:18:59
Polly's boy?

30 Jan 2020 13:08:50
Hagi son of Georghi is coming on loan from Ghent - 21 year old midfielder.

30 Jan 2020 13:28:18
4 lads had a dream posted this on Twitter we need another striker though as well.

30 Jan 2020 13:36:54
It's genk and it's rumoured he will arrive in Edinburgh later to complete a loan move with option to buy.

30 Jan 2020 13:39:45
If his big toe has half what his old man had, then that's some player.

30 Jan 2020 14:00:33
Genk, actually. And what a signing. This is a genuinely world class player. No idea how on earth we swung this one.

30 Jan 2020 14:02:47
Need striker.

30 Jan 2020 14:04:19
think he plays for genk.

30 Jan 2020 14:06:18
With option to buy apparently. This could be a good signing is he’s even half as good as his Dad.

30 Jan 2020 14:25:47
Hagi is a midfielder/ striker. This has potential to be a top signing, love how first we hear is when it’s agreed.
This lad mocked for 8-10 million euros in June
And yes Scotty saying we have an option to buy.
Coldo this could be your rf.

30 Jan 2020 14:34:35
highly unlikely that there is a buy option for him.

30 Jan 2020 14:35:24
Delighted with this as the boy looks creative and has lots of potential- always dubious of players with legends as fathers as the name can be a heavy burden

We need creative options and this boy looks just that

Just need a striker in as well now.

30 Jan 2020 19:20:23
Rfc don't be daft, world class. A lot of potential and the kind of player we should be after, but a long way from world class mate.

31 Jan 2020 03:27:24
Think world class is maybe a little exaggerated bud, he had a good start at genk but form fell away, not all of those appearances are starts either. Taking a massive gamble with this one, never made the grade at fiorentina either.

30 Jan 2020 09:28:16
Hearing today defoe is out for rest of the season n tht Gerrard is wantin Rhodes on loan till summer. Decent signing if true.

30 Jan 2020 09:41:23
He’s going for a scan today so your news must be pretty much the person doing the scan, however Rhodes would be an ok replacement as second choice striker if true. Although he’s had a rough time of it last couple years.

30 Jan 2020 09:47:02
How could you possibly know he's out until summer when gerrard said it's being assessed over 48 hours?

30 Jan 2020 09:55:08
Had to happen some time at 37 hamstrings can be a bu**er.
Must say, a number of people have been saying for months now about our lack of cover - now its going to bite us big time.

30 Jan 2020 10:00:57
Ed you hearing anything about Lallana supposedly arriving on loan til end of season?

{Ed001's Note - not a chance. Klopp wants to keep him.}

30 Jan 2020 10:06:31
Its not his hamstring its his calf.

30 Jan 2020 10:21:00
no way Rhodes is a decent option he is utter pish we have to look way above that level.

30 Jan 2020 10:46:08
Thanks Ed, didn't think so but heard it last night.

{Ed001's Note - probably because he wasn't in the squad, but he was ill so left at home.}

30 Jan 2020 11:25:50
We won’t get any of Liverpool kids never mind lallana, they are using kids in cups and lallana gets game time, especially in busy periods.

30 Jan 2020 12:14:19
True Coully I did think it was complete piffle but thought I'd ask incase Ed had heard the same?

30 Jan 2020 14:04:54
Will Grigg would do well for us.

30 Jan 2020 06:24:54
Got talking to some supporters last night outside the Ibrox front doors. Two of them told us that they know dean windass and he was supposedly at ibrox last night for our game against ross county. They asked him about the links with the possibility of us signing his son josh again. He smiled to them and said you will all find out by friday midnight, with a wry smile. Surely not!
Not even in a loan deal!

30 Jan 2020 07:51:50
If we sign windyass I’m done!

30 Jan 2020 08:10:34
I was told at beginning of jan that windass is trying to engineer a move back to ibrox as Wigan still owe rangers money from the original transfer.

30 Jan 2020 08:32:06
Posted about this earlier in the week, not sure it would be that great a move bringing him back but at this stage I would take anything rather than nothing. His issue before was that he wanted to play through the middle as a striker but Gerrard said he wasn’t good enough to play there so I’d have my doubts as to whether Gerrard would want him as a striker.

30 Jan 2020 09:03:29
His other issue was he was lazy, cannot see this being true the more I think about it.

30 Jan 2020 09:17:51
What a lot on nonsense 😂😂😂😂 i would really hope we would sign someone better than wigan bench player. The guy thinks he's a 20mill player aswel.

30 Jan 2020 09:38:31
I can’t see windass coming back but I would take him if barker leaves as he is better than barker but that’s about it, not starting 11 for me.

30 Jan 2020 12:29:42
My most disliked Rangers player in years.

Attitude was stinking. Didn't want to work for the team and thought he was better than he was. The fact he's surplus to requirements at Wigan says it all.

Will be hugely disappointed if that's our signing and will be further proof that the club's scouting network is a shambles.

30 Jan 2020 13:12:08
if josh is coming back, then we might as well give up now and play the kids. lucky if you get 15 mins out of him.

30 Jan 2020 14:51:59
Now i'm not advocating for him to return as i don't think we should be looking to past players but. i think some people have forgotten that the season before he left he scored 18 goals the same amount of goals fredo contributed.
