Rangers Rumours Archive July 05 2020

Regards my post unfortunately my captain would be Mc Gregor but I would never have a goalkeeper as a captain, you see his passion with what he sees in front of him and wants better.

06 Jul 2020 09:57:08
Sometimes goalkeepers are the best captains IE. Buffon at juve, cassilas at Madrid but they were younger when they took the captaincy so for the reason of age alone as we don't want to replace captains yearly I would have to say Ryan Jack with Arfield as vice.

06 Jul 2020 10:28:59
Allan McGregor is nowhere near mature enough to be a captain.

Look at his sending off last season as well as the incidents of lashing out against Aberdeen and Celtic. This coupled with his general attitude on the pitch of screaming and balling at everyone and getting involved in absolutely everything he can would make him an awful captain.

Scott Arfield is the ideal captain IMO. He is one of, if not the best player at the club. Speaks well, handles himself well on and off the pitch, improves players around him and when he is on his game he is the best no.8 in the country. Gerrard obviously knows he can use Arfield in a number of positions because of his ability however if he was playing regaurly in centre midfield no one in this league would touch him.

shagger has spit a dummy out more than once the past few seasons, not my idea for a captain.

06 Jul 2020 11:48:41
Jack is best equipped to be club captain although we should have captains all over the pitch. To be honest I can’t recall If Hyypia, Gerrard or Carragher was the main captain of Liverpool and think they all played in the same team.

06 Jul 2020 12:57:51
Not McGregor for me - his tendency to lose the nut and he will not be a regular 1st choice come the end of the season if last season is a measure.

Jack, nope, not for me either.

Davis, too late.

Arfield is probably the only contender unless we bring in someone new but if Tav is not sold, he should retain the captaincy.

If our midfield had contributed their share of goals last season we would have won the league and no-one would be questioning our captain.

06 Jul 2020 17:23:00
As in the Souness and Smith Era, it should not matter who the captain is because the team should be stacked full of leaders and winners. That for me is where our problem lies, with the exception of McGregor and Davis we don't have any players that know what winning is all about. Since I am not a fan of goalkeepers as captain and Davis best playing days are behind him we need to bring in a couple of leaders / guys that have medals to their name. We have some very good young players coming through, we need strikers and a strong midfield player that can look after himself and his team mates.

06 Jul 2020 21:47:03
Don't get carried away with suggestions on a new captain guys.

Stevie is stubborn and seems to believe in Tav so he will still be our captain (unfortunately in my opinion) .

Read something there the now that rangers have submitted a 6million euros bid for anderlecht striker kemar roofe. Its seemingly on an anderlecht page 🤔.

05 Jul 2020 18:37:33
Must be true then.

05 Jul 2020 19:29:23
Anderlecht page on twitter says they got the info from Glasgow Live, must be 100% legit.

05 Jul 2020 22:26:20
Not anywhere to be seen mate anyway if we're paying 6mil for anyone it won't be roofe.

05 Jul 2020 22:29:03
I don't know if anyone else noticed the the Glasgow live page seems to have a leaning to the dark side?

05 Jul 2020 16:30:27
Heard its actually the young Belgian striker Nacy Dimata we're looking at from Anderlecht, not Roofe.

05 Jul 2020 18:26:18
Watch a lot of european football polish danish norwegian belguin etc some great young players there placheta from slask wroclaw in poland great talent same young sodern berge at sheff utd great talent so if were after the young boy in belguim it about time he looked at the young eurooean talent like the old days gio rino etc.

05 Jul 2020 18:43:23
I'd take another Prso or Jelavic in a heart beat.

05 Jul 2020 18:54:05
Marchwinski from Lech Poznan is a decent young player too.

05 Jul 2020 22:22:09
We would probably be cheaper with roofe but dimata is more of a Drogba type player same sort of physical approach but not sure if he is prolific enough.

05 Jul 2020 14:02:55
Just a heads up Bears with a big disclaimer, i'm no expert and only picked up the info from the interweb, but hope the info shines a light on Ivan Toney for anybody interested.

Didnt know anything about him and now interest "seems" to be picking up thought I would have a wee look at him.

English, 24 yrs, 6 foot 2 (internet says 5 10 but he's is much bigger) . Last 2 years in L1 94 games and 49 goals.10 yellows last year no reds although red for fighting when he was 18, and 1 red in 2018 for handing the ball in the line. Right footed.

From what I can see from Youtube LOL, he has a great touch, nice bit of close skill in and around the box, decent pace, can hold it up, takes decent free kicks, not afraid to shoot from OUTSIDE the box and generates very good power, good percentage of goals from headers some quite brave and some generation of power from the head, takes penalty's can see a pass in the box rather than wasteful shots.

If this guy has a good attitude and doesn't seem to be prone to injury I would be delighted if we signed him. On the face of it looks to be a more complete player than the likes of Dykes/ Cosgrove/ Shankland.

I know its a whole other world playing for Rangers and any new player might not work out however IMO he is the exact type of striker we need and can see why they are looking for top dollar. 442 with him and Dafoe up front would give some teams the frights.

05 Jul 2020 15:05:19
After reading tjbb I think this player will go to a champions League team in one of the top 3 league’s 🤔.

05 Jul 2020 15:05:37
He is a quality finisher and has good vision, I'm also a West ham supporter and keep an eye on the English leagues due to various prospects we have out on loan. I would love him to be at rangers prove himself and follow Morelos in being a 20mil sale for rangers.

05 Jul 2020 15:25:23
Eng 3rd div though

Various players in SPL are regularly cited on these pages as not good enough for Rangers due to the ‘level’ they play at so why not Toney?

Morelos being touted for Napoli, Everton and other EPL clubs yet we allegedly want to replace him with player from Eng 3rd div - that’s doesn’t add up for me sorry.

05 Jul 2020 15:53:15
Trev no7

Where did fredo come from? Finland and I would say league 1 in England is probably the same if not a better standard.

Do you think we are going to buy a striker doing it week in week out from a top league?

05 Jul 2020 17:33:21
There are Gems to be found in the lower divisions but we need to be lucky. As previously mentioned, James Vardy is an example. Equally, the lower divisions are full of players who had "potential". It is a matter of making the right choice. Over to you - Ross Wilson and Steven Gerrard.

05 Jul 2020 18:46:41
Why now guys is english league 1 so good? We signed 3 players from Wigan and everyone said 2 of them were rubbish and the other one should not be our captain according to some on here. We also signed 2 from accrington Stanley and that never turned out great either.

05 Jul 2020 20:59:21
KJ

I didn’t say he wasn’t good enough

I simply pointed out the number folk on here regularly get down on players (usually Scottish) for not being anywhere near good enough for Rangers, due to level they play at

Then talk up a player from 3rd tier in England

It’s the double standards I’m pointing out.

05 Jul 2020 09:31:39
Don't shoot the messenger but heard a rumor today rangers or looking at linfield starlet joel Cooper and also there on the verge of signing shankland.

05 Jul 2020 10:12:17
Won't happen, no interest ever really been there.

05 Jul 2020 10:18:39
24 year old starlet? Would love Shankland but hate the idea of giving them money.

05 Jul 2020 11:17:46
Ibrox bear joel cooper not good enough for rangers sorry.

05 Jul 2020 11:26:59
Mate borini goal scoring record is terrible, hope this rumour is wrong.

05 Jul 2020 11:37:28
Not on verge of signing Shankland only talk of him from halliday.

05 Jul 2020 12:38:34
Does not matter what anyone says on here someone will always say
NOT GOOD ENOUGH FOR RANGERS or so do you all have a crystal ball?

I don't care who rangers sign shankland dykes cosgrove borini allan ferguson toney or who ever else gets named or who ever rangers are after i will always welcome them to rangers and give them 100% support while there playing for rangers and it don't matter wether it gerrard or any other manager at the club.

05 Jul 2020 13:16:21
Well you won't have to, INTR, because we won't be signing any of those you named.

05 Jul 2020 14:18:48
If you can read a post correct
You will see it says I don't CARE WHO THEY SIGN the players i named are the ones being mentioned on here for the past week or 2 once again

I don't CARE WHO THEY SIGN i will support them 100% week in week out.

05 Jul 2020 20:32:42
Well said I. N. T. R.
