Rangers rumours 2

02 Dec 2021 00:12:31
Rangers intrested in Dutch PSG player xavi simons only 18 out of contract in the summer but rangers could offer a fee and bring him in January according to French paper.

02 Dec 2021 07:52:58
Is he a 1st team starter EB, or another 'project'?

02 Dec 2021 08:22:18
Raiola’s his agent. wouldn't believe a thing til you see him in our shirt.

02 Dec 2021 08:36:06
Would love this one to be true but can't see it coming off. Really highly rated kid and Barcelona said to want him back. We going to be linked with loads so just need to see who comes but makes the rumour page more interesting than just the fighting.

02 Dec 2021 08:37:18
Looks like Villa are going to try and poach Leon king from us Rangers are going to have to get a move on and get an agreement with him we can't afford to lose hot prospects like Leon and Nathan we have to tie them down to new contracts we can't afford to have another Gilmour it would be a Disaster.

02 Dec 2021 09:04:39
He was described as best youth player at Barcelona since MESSI! Remember watching them rave about him on Barcelona TV when I was on holiday. He signed for PSG and got Riola the super agent to represent him which could make a deal more difficult to broker.
He’s out of contract at end of season though so offer of 1st team football and playing in Champions league could tempt him.
Riola did represent Haaland from Malmö to Salzburg now Dortmund to whatever top club he ends up at end of season so the pathway of a Rangers in Champions league could be possible.
Would prob cost £1m in agent fee alone but we would be getting a player we would sell for a sizeable profit for the modest outlay.

02 Dec 2021 10:14:35
Simons supposedly heading for Man City unfortunately.

02 Dec 2021 10:38:54
This kid is supposed to be one of the best talents in Europe.
Only 18 but wants guaranteed first team football which we have told him he would get.
If he goes to Man Sh*ty he wouldn’t get near the first team.
Hopefully Gio can convince him to come for 2 seasons then punt him.
According to reports he’s on £17,000 a week at PSG so we could probably stretch a bit more to give him the game time he craves.
One to keep our eyes on.

02 Dec 2021 12:45:34
As a said a seen it on line media don't no anything about it or the lad but it said GVB really liked the boy but it also said Barcelona were maybe looking at bringing him bk to Spain a don't think he would go bk as he left them for not been close to first team football.

02 Dec 2021 14:22:27
Zero chance of us getting him.

02 Dec 2021 16:54:38
Correct Paul.

02 Dec 2021 18:04:24
If they boy is good and wants to play most games he will come to rangers people need to remember there will only be 32 clubs in champions league and the fact we might be one will be a big selling point to players and there is no way the boys looking to leave psg because he’s no playing to go to Man City and not play boy wants football by the sounds of it.

02 Dec 2021 18:30:07
Think this story has been quashed already, no interest.

02 Dec 2021 18:34:20
There is more chance of us getting Billy Gilmour and we have no chance of him.

30 Nov 2021 22:17:02
Anyone any info on the soutter from hearts to us? Think would be a good replacement for Goldson watching the game on Sunday his short passes where dreadful praised him after the Sparta game but looking like putting in a performance on that stage as more scouts be watching, think his ego is got to big for the Scottish game hopefully wrong because when his heads init he’s been great for us!

01 Dec 2021 05:17:18
I’ve not got any information Bluebell (and I don’t pretend to), I’m sure John might have some info. In my opinion though, Soutter would be a replacement for Katic or perhaps Simpson. We need better than Soutter to replace Goldson. Again, just my opinion.

01 Dec 2021 07:03:09
Don’t think we can afford John Souter wages.
Doehki to replace goldston. Mb cooper in.

01 Dec 2021 07:51:30
We can't afford john soutters wages john? Surely not, can't imagine he would be able to command a ridiculous wage. Will be us celric and a few championship clubs after him can't see any Premier league clubs chasing him, and that's where the real money is.

01 Dec 2021 09:04:28
Championship clubs r paying players 25 to 30 k. We won’t pay that.

01 Dec 2021 09:07:08
John are you saying cooper from Leeds?

01 Dec 2021 09:14:23
Think John means Harry Souttar at Stoke if so then I agree couldn’t afford transfer fee or wages. We could afford John Souttar at Hearts but I do agree I think although good sign not yet on Goldsons level.

01 Dec 2021 09:15:05
Stuart Munro millwall jake cooper.

01 Dec 2021 10:00:00
Cheers mate.

01 Dec 2021 10:18:56
John souttar even on a free will not command that high a wage his injury’s over the years will see to that, and that’s what I would be more concerned about, we can’t afford another laimo on the treatment table all the time! Too often an injury prone player starts to come good when his contract is up only for the problems to come back once he gets his new deal. Jake cooper would be a great signing and an upgrade on goldson imo but I think he would command a fair wage!

01 Dec 2021 11:41:35
We pay goldson 27k john so there is a chance think the club will offer him around 15k tbh.

01 Dec 2021 11:49:57
If we can’t afford John souttars wages how will we afford doekhi or coopers? January will be a big month for us, with the champions league money at stake next season, and celtic likely to spend in next window, board will need to spend to guarantee that and Make sure we win the league or we move a few on and spend the money to freshen up. I feel we are 1 or 2 short still.

01 Dec 2021 12:40:54
Taking Souttar on that kinda wage is a gamble we shouldn’t take. 3 previous achilles ruptures is too much of a risk.

01 Dec 2021 13:38:28
Struts it’s what u get for money, a seriously injury prone player who is not a patch on doehki or Cooper.

01 Dec 2021 16:13:27
Rfc my point why would he accept 15 when he can double that in England.

01 Dec 2021 17:13:59
John souttar is a good player, my only concern would be his injury problems, not saying for a second he would be the answer over the likes of Doehki etc, but despite championship clubs being able to offer better wages I doubt too many would offer him the likes of 25/ 30k a week given his past injury problems. However if a few teams are in for the boy it could trigger a highest wage war.

01 Dec 2021 17:18:14
John It sounded like you were saying we couldn’t afford John souttar’s wages but I know what you mean now. He would be fourth choice if he came anyway, we can and should be getting better than him.

01 Dec 2021 17:48:18
Soutter is doing a Goldson moving job for more money.

Why shouldn’t they, short life span a footballer .

01 Dec 2021 19:06:12
No way soutter will command anywhere close to that wage mate.

02 Dec 2021 09:51:18
Soutar is too high maintenance for Rangers due to his injury CV.

02 Dec 2021 11:28:07
Herewego, funny money in championship, I’ve written b4 17 year old in England under 17 getting 8k a week, yet to play for first team. Made his under 23 debut in last month.

02 Dec 2021 12:14:04
Sorry struts, my post was not very clear.

02 Dec 2021 13:29:56
Maybe not on goldsons level YET when I say that his short passing and defensive displays including last night have been nothing short of a shambles the clearance last night when the ball was played along the 6yard box was outstanding but when a player goes to take him on he’s not interested in a tackle and his short passing is on par with the big dud Duffy atm, Ano that might be a lot of criticism for a rangers player, I like Goldson think he’s a great defender when his heads init and he was the catalyst for the clean sheets last season but head seems to be else where!

30 Nov 2021 21:07:40
Due to work commitments i couldn't attend our agm this morning😞I was talking to a fellow shareholder who was there and we were going over various topics and of course the lasting memorial for the legend sir walter smith🤔It's very fitting walter is going to be honoured by our club in a big way👌He was telling me that there was a lot of talk between some shareholders regarding out of contract players and scotty arfield in particular🤔He told me everyone of the shareholders he spoke to regarding arfield, want rangers to offer arfield a new one year deal and gauge it season after season as he's not fighting fit and showing good form to his different midfield style he offers us👌I totally agree and think/ want rangers to offer arfield a new contract this coming summer and i truly think we will🤔He's still got a lot to offer and undoubtedly has miles left in the tank yet,
even at 33 years old now👍Age is only a number, especially nowadays in football! He also told me that motherwell, hibs, hearts and st. mirren are all interested in signing arfield in a free, at the end of the season🤔I hope he remains with us🙏John25, have you or any other fellow bear heard anything regarding scotty arfield? 🤔I know John25 has a very reliable source👍.

30 Nov 2021 21:20:54
I said b4 gerrard was for letting him go, Gio May think differently.
We really need to b careful Defoe 39, Davis 37. McGregor 40. Whilst it’s a number, profile all wrong for me.
We r a team that is standing still.

30 Nov 2021 21:25:25
Motherwell st mirren could not aford him him he would want prob 5k a week.

30 Nov 2021 21:33:40
RFC on 16 k just now. Mb end up in England again.

30 Nov 2021 21:45:07
Prob John can’t see him sign anything under 5k even if guaranteed first team football with hibs or hearts think he will stay at rangers on around 8k if he wants more think we will let him go.

30 Nov 2021 22:01:39
I truly think arfield will get a new 1 year deal John25🤔.

30 Nov 2021 22:37:22
Yeah thinks it’s time to leave at the end of the season been a great servant to us.

30 Nov 2021 23:03:42
I reckon Arfield will be offered and accept a 1 year contract.

30 Nov 2021 23:31:18
Truthfully I think this should be the last season for McGregor, Defoe, Davis and Arfield. Progress won't be made by sentiment. You could potentially add Goldson, Barisic, Kamara, Kent and Morelos to the exit door. Not trying to be a pessimist but it looks quite obvious that they will be looking to move.

01 Dec 2021 06:00:26
Nothing to do with sentiment imo Otterspocket🤔Now that arfield is fit again he most definitely offers us something different from any midfielder currently at ibrox👌A new 1 year deal for me, no brainer here👍.

01 Dec 2021 06:33:08
I’d give him a year see how it goes.

01 Dec 2021 07:48:05
Dont think greegs defoe or davis will be at the club next season john.

01 Dec 2021 07:52:44
I agree Paul, great servants the lot but we have to move forward. 3 players pushing 40 not the way to go.

01 Dec 2021 08:18:00
I think if Davis gives up international football he could play another year.

01 Dec 2021 09:06:02
I agree Paul, great servants but we have to move forward.

01 Dec 2021 09:56:41
Mcgregor in past week alone has pulled off some outstanding saves. 1 that got us into latter stages of UEFA the other preventing us going in at ht at 2-2 which could have ended up costing us points in league.
Arfield has played well and scored in both recent starts V Hibs and Livvy and is a different option for us.
Davis is still playing well and is more consistent than any other player other than maybe Kamara in midfield.
Defoe rarely gets any playing time to judge but would agree is probably in final season on current situation.
For me it’s a long season let’s judge them all individually at the end of it and I would happily give 12 month extension to ANY of the 4 if their performances merited it.
If anything it works in our favour we get quality experienced performers with reduced terms in contracts and no distraction of moving on to other sides.
It’s not a case of standing still, we have players in squad and in radar to sign when any of these guys aren’t good enough anymore but as it stands it’s 12 month deals until they aren’t.

01 Dec 2021 11:04:14
The glasgow ranger that's also him just started playing. His save percentage this season is extremely low. Below 40% which is incredible stat really.

01 Dec 2021 12:00:15
Totally agree John we need to move forward and bring in better quality, arfield has been great for us and still offers something but won’t take us to the next level or make us money. We still haven’t spent any money in that area of the pitch. Maybe guys like Ivanic that are also nearing out of contract ( I think ) could replace him.

01 Dec 2021 13:42:19
Ivanic would be an amazing signing. We have to upgrade the menu or we go backwards.
We r trying to get to CL group stages, remember we could actually play two qualify rounds, it’s not a over 40s league we r trying for.

01 Dec 2021 14:09:11
Guys Scott Arfield is only 33 and looks as if he could play at this level for at least another 3 years. Very good player who runs into positions that others don't. If I were Gio I'd definitely be inclined to get him re-signed. It's a no brainer imo.

01 Dec 2021 17:42:54
Arfield and Davis will be our 'auld heids' next season, they are needed in the squad, at training, in limited games, in the dressing room, talking to younger players and passing on their experience. They might not offer pace or great energy any more but they will bring wisdom and professionalism.

02 Dec 2021 11:31:47
Tavs would you prefer Davis or veerman on same money
Arfield or ivanic same money.
Doehki for combined wage we pay katic and Simpson.
Barker 16 k a week invested in a new winger
Defoes wages invested.

Not to mention Firth, Middleton, hastie, kitten wage reinvested.

02 Dec 2021 12:29:17
John25 surprised at your ‘we’re standing still’ comment. I think you’ve got that wrong. Particularly with new management. We will get rid of a few for sure. Arfield on current form and shape at 33 needs to be signed it’s a no brainier, unless of course Gio knows of better. It’s a gamble getting someone and they settle. Fir me. Veerman needs to be signed if Gio agrees with all of us.

I said at the start of SG period I was concerned about 2024 contracts being offered and signed, that’s looking like a very real problem now as we have so many players ending contracts in and around the same time. That’s poor planning! Contracts should be staggered. Particularly if SG comes sniffing with inside info on agreements and clauses etc.

We’re certainly not doing enough with youth. They need playing time to gain exposure as well as seeing if they can make the grade. With exposure their value increases. If we don’t want them we sell and start a conveyor belt of making money.

With Gio I would suspect youth set up will be managed better.

30 Nov 2021 18:03:34
Rumour was we had a scout watching Sergio Gómez lb Would suggest to me if true borna away in January.

30 Nov 2021 18:47:33
Should Barasic go in January, what do we think would be a reasonable value? Personally don’t think Barasic has been at it since the summer departure rumours.

30 Nov 2021 18:56:47
Given his age and dip in form I’d say 8 million.

30 Nov 2021 19:48:23
8 million would be good considering his fourm last few months.

30 Nov 2021 20:10:12
Man utd want him.

30 Nov 2021 20:10:34
Man utd want Gomez.

30 Nov 2021 21:26:27
A lot of clubs ant him but not for first team football that’s what makes me think we might swing this one and the fact the boy could play in champions league.

01 Dec 2021 09:58:55
Personally think £8m is too low for an International LB from a competitive International team.
Of course a lot depends on how long he has left on current contract, if player is unsettled and who is interested in buying him but I think £10-12m is a realistic value.

01 Dec 2021 11:14:36
He's lost his starting place with Croatia.

28 Nov 2021 13:30:35
Supposedly we're looking at Ben Diaz from Bllackburn, never heard of him seems to have scored a lot of goals this season though.

28 Nov 2021 13:34:27
Hopefully free agent soon scoring for fun.

28 Nov 2021 14:07:56
Twisted. Changed his name. Ben brereton.

28 Nov 2021 14:38:34
Ben brereton Diaz is his full name as he plays for chile now also don’t think we will get him if we are interested Spanish clubs meant to be in for him as well.

28 Nov 2021 17:06:15
Be suprised if we got him, would absolutely love to get him tho scores lot of goals for Blackburn sure he plays with the national team now as well.

28 Nov 2021 17:08:20
pretty much sums up where we are . I'm sure he's ok as a player.

but if rumours were to believed, we need a new team come January lol but we will be a richer club however no players lol .

28 Nov 2021 17:58:15
No too attractive to Spanish clubs as he doesn't speak Spanish.

28 Nov 2021 18:01:28
Hmm yet another Blackburn player. I think not.

28 Nov 2021 18:21:56
Reckon it will be Dutch or villa players in on loan.

no major signings TBT just loaners.

28 Nov 2021 18:37:09
Deeb neither does Gareth bale he went there.

28 Nov 2021 18:38:39
It’s Sevilla that is reported interest in him.

28 Nov 2021 18:53:28
Gvb11 why would we be getting villa players in on loan? Load of nonsense.

28 Nov 2021 19:06:23
Why wouldn't vantheman? its possible. tell me why we wouldn't if available.

29 Nov 2021 01:40:19
Allthefives55 your at it.

29 Nov 2021 08:45:22
Storm
I said that in response to his "attractivemness" to Spanish clubs. Just as attractive to German or Greek.

29 Nov 2021 08:59:01
Ah sorry bud.

29 Nov 2021 09:13:47
Don't get why we would want Aston Villa players on loan.

29 Nov 2021 11:34:52
Because they’re all better than what we have.

29 Nov 2021 14:03:37
Yes most the villa first team are but that's not who is going to be available to loan is it? Premier league clubs loan their kids out mostly and i'm sure we don't need villa's under 23's to stregthen our squad.

29 Nov 2021 15:29:12
If your a Villa under 23 you must have something about you that for sure.

Gerard will do us a favour or two if he buys Borna or kent.

Goldston to leeds btw chaps.

29 Nov 2021 18:01:28
Hopefully I’m January so we can get at least a million or 2 In for him.

29 Nov 2021 18:29:09
I wonder why he changed his name 😂😂 sounded like a stripper from the dam.

30 Nov 2021 13:08:18
He added his grans maiden name to sound Chilean when selected.

30 Nov 2021 17:31:14
John I thought it was his mother that was part Chilean but could be wrong also the rumours are blackburn want 20 million so that rules us out thou I never thought we were interested in the 1st place.

{Ed001's Note - they are not asking £20m, the lad is out of contract in the summer.}

30 Nov 2021 17:59:36
Storm it may b. As Ed says he will be a free in summer could sign a pre contract Janie leaving England.

30 Nov 2021 21:09:32
Didn’t know that the reports I read said 20 million but the Ed’s are always spot on with info.

We have no change mmmmmmmmm E of signing him anyway.

30 Nov 2021 21:28:42
We do have a chance sign him sign on fee and 25k a week and a buyout clause of 25 million and I think he would sign if he plays well in champions league he will be off within a year to a big club win win.

30 Nov 2021 22:38:20
Don’t know what happened to my message was meant to say we have no chance of signing him IMO.

27 Nov 2021 17:24:06
Gerrard set to test Rangers resolve with £17m bid for Patterson in January.
Apparently we have told him £25m is asking price so £17m would probably be opening offer.
I'd imagine we want sell on clause but £20m with sizeable sell on clause might get the deal done.
Also hearing Kent not on his radar with Villa having 5-6 wide players on the books already.
Aribo and Kamara the others he has apparently made enquiries for.

27 Nov 2021 17:37:47
£17 million would be some bit of business for us✌️.

27 Nov 2021 17:50:15
17 million would fund 1 or 2 transfer windows.

27 Nov 2021 18:00:50
Don’t want rid of Patterson and I find it hard to believe SG is interested in a player he wouldn’t start.

27 Nov 2021 18:11:46
I tend to agree storm, one or two May move to epl not necessarily villa but will only be squad players.
Paterson would get virtually no minutes in epl for couple of years, he needs Gio to play him in case Scotland go to World Cup.

27 Nov 2021 18:21:11
I really can't see it. I think villa have more pressing needs and £17m for a young player who hasn't even made 17 starts for us (in an inferior league) sounds far fetched. Not slating the poster. I just can't see it.

27 Nov 2021 18:47:24
If gerrard didn't start him over tav for us in spl he's not signing him to play in premiership.

27 Nov 2021 18:51:01
Villa need a left back first and foremost so gerrard could well possibly move for borna barisic🤔.

27 Nov 2021 19:06:31
I hope it is Barasic as we have a replacement for him.

27 Nov 2021 20:44:11
If we get offered 20M he’s away but they already have a decent RB. if going for a LB I’d be surprised if he goes for our Borna, he has had a big dip in form and confidence and I think that’s partly down to a niggly injury and losing his place in Croatian national team, SG has cash to spend so I’d be going for Borna Sosa who is very highly rated.

27 Nov 2021 21:44:39
17 mill take it all day long.

27 Nov 2021 21:51:44
Always really liked BB but feel he is not the same player this season and worth moving on if a good offer comes in. Would be surprised if we got more than 12 at moment for Patterson and think hagi at times looks real quality and could see him going jan or summer. Think we need a few big player sales anyway to get club in good financial position and also create cash for fresh investment in players we can develop and sell on as that is the business model and the reality for clubs in smaller leagues with low tv revenue. As long we keep finding gems like aribo, kamara, alf - combined total of less than 2 mil we’ll continue to do well 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧.

27 Nov 2021 22:18:20
You do realise that there are other teams in the world apart from rangers that gerrard can buy players from, don't yous?

28 Nov 2021 00:09:53
It's purely lazy journalism ot. Just saw there aston villa in for haji as well, are they just taking every rangers player?

28 Nov 2021 06:40:25
SWS the way barasic is playing this season I can’t see SG signing him either but hope he does as he is getting on and value dropping.

28 Nov 2021 06:50:50
Won't play him but will spend close to 20 mil on him. Some of these journos need a reality check.

28 Nov 2021 08:39:05
I think Gerrard didn’t play him as often is because he would need to replace his choice of club Captain Tav. Recently with International showings he’s shown he can make an impact at that level too.
I think because Robertson and Tierney have flourished down there he is attracting a lot of attention as he is quiet similar in style to Robertson in particular with his high energy quick attacking full back role.
Gerrard and club KO’d £12m for him in last window and laughed at £5m so I think £17m sounds about right IMO.

28 Nov 2021 12:51:42
It's a lot of money for potential, Nathan would be one of the players I'd rather see with us to develop and hopefully flourish.

28 Nov 2021 18:29:57
not one of our players will bring in 17m. we can only dream of that amount .

28 Nov 2021 21:55:49
Come on behave.

02 Dec 2021 01:47:06
Scotland to world cup 🤣😭🤣😭 less of the jokes.

27 Nov 2021 13:35:04
John is it true that Leon King is going leave soon? Apparently his contract is running out this summer.

27 Nov 2021 14:58:20
It does run out, May 22. will need to see if we offer him a deal, and more importantly will he accept it.
There was a story he was looking for around 8k a week.

27 Nov 2021 15:18:28
John25,what's your opinion on dave vos becoming gio's no.2 mate 🤔.

27 Nov 2021 15:25:37
Absolutely no nothing about the guy. Got to assume gio knows what he is doing.

27 Nov 2021 15:43:36
I definitely knew who dave vos is mate👍I think this potentially is a stunning coup for our club, as his ajax youth work for over a decade is superb👌.

27 Nov 2021 15:55:00
So how do u know him.

27 Nov 2021 16:38:40
Has SGL coops changed again.

27 Nov 2021 17:00:51
Yes he’s Walter OBE.

27 Nov 2021 18:09:22
I know who dave vos is as do many football fans as he was often referred to as one of the very best youth academy coaches throughout europe John25🤔When ajax were beaten by spurs in the champions league semi final 18months ago now, his name was spoke about many times throughout that season's tournament and in the football circle in general.

27 Nov 2021 18:10:10
I did post i had changed my username stormtrooper👍.

27 Nov 2021 18:20:18
Coop is like our very own jay from the inbetweeners 🤣.

27 Nov 2021 18:26:35
