Utrecht have offered £2.5 million for Lammers with 1.5 million in installments. No sell on % included.
13 Jun 2024 09:31:03
Realistically, if we can make our money back on Lammers I think we should be happy. Just because he's had a good 6 months, I don't think we should be silly with our pricing here, he's never going to be our no9 and on that basis, if the instalments are realistic, I think we should take it and move on. No point in setting the fee so high these middle of the road Dutch teams can't afford him, as I doubt many others will bite.
13 Jun 2024 09:32:45
Ridiculous price given his goal return for them.
13 Jun 2024 09:35:33
Don’t think that recoups our money spent?
13 Jun 2024 09:54:49
We ain't only getting 2.5m for Lammers, not a chance.
13 Jun 2024 10:15:07
4m at least.
13 Jun 2024 10:15:57
£2.5m for a Dutch striker that hit double figures this year, won POTM, took Utrecht to Champions League qualification, has scored against Champions League level opposition in Feyenoord, etc. He only played 20 games in Holland but had 11 goals with 3 assists. That is worth more than £2.5m.
How can this club sign a player, he improves from last season, but his value decreases? Why does that only happen at Rangers? A cut price deal to get him out the door so he can sign for a potential Champions League team ?♂️
If Rangers get Utrecht in the Champions League qualifiers, and Lammers dumps us out the competition costing the club tens of millions, then some serious questions would need to be asked about what is going on at this football club.
13 Jun 2024 10:17:39
I haven't made my mind up if it's posters being deluded, or whether it's just funny, that some of them think we're making a profit on Lammers. Keep dreaming guys!
13 Jun 2024 10:45:08
Though there's another Dutch team interested as well ? wouldn't be too hasty, but would hang out a bit n see if anything better, or they rebuff their offer asonly the first one.
13 Jun 2024 10:58:48
I would offer them a swap deal even if we suspend the player we take until a further date.
13 Jun 2024 11:07:30
You can't think Lammers was a bad bit of business by Rangers last year AND think he's now worth £5m (or more) . Anyone looking for an increase in his value over the last year is grasping at straws.
I can only think of it like this: would I be happy with Rangers paying £5m for Lammers right now? The answer to that is a definite no, so why would any other club do so!?
I hope I'm wrong, and we get more than c£3-4m for him, but at the end of the day, the manager doesn't want him, and we need him off the wage bill, so we're not waiting for top dollar.
13 Jun 2024 11:10:23
Generic, Utrecht finished 7th in league certainly won’t be playing in CL.
13 Jun 2024 11:17:07
Taylor Booth at Utrecht is a better option than we have in Scott Wright maybe we could work a wee swap compromise. If they take Wrighty as well and give him a good home. We could call it 1.5m owed.
If Rangers get Utrecht in CL qualifiers Generic I'm a flying Dutchman. Stay off the mushrooms.
13 Jun 2024 11:19:57
Stevie what are you on about?
13 Jun 2024 11:40:13
“Though there's another Dutch team interested as well ?”
The Dutch league is of a high standard. It is scouted heavily by teams from the big 5 leagues who often spend very big money there. Given how well Lammers performed last season I would not be surprised if something came from one of those countries. In fact, someone said there was interest from Germany on this forum just a few days ago.
I’ve seen the Utrecht fans on social media. They want Lammers badly, and think we are complete mugs for selling him. I get the feeling Utrecht are trying to downplay just how much they actually want to sign this guy. He is probably their top summer target.
Utrecht will want to reach the Europe proper. If not for Lammers they would not even be in that position. I imagine they’ll want to keep him for the qualifiers to give themselves the best possible chance.
13 Jun 2024 11:45:40
Mb I'm deluded, but I expect to make money on Lammers.
13 Jun 2024 12:08:28
When sima came to rangers he was worth 8-10m we want to buy him for 6m it's the same difference 2 players who won't get in there respective contracted teams.
13 Jun 2024 12:09:14
Lammers performances with Utrecht should see us at least recoup the transfer fee we paid to bring him to Rangers.
Another factor is the wages he is on which might be better spent on bringing other players to Rangers.
13 Jun 2024 12:23:38
Storm, if they can’t afford to pay the price we want them we give them the player for an agreed value and it’s agreed we are owed a player swap in future.
There’s always great players appearing in Holland and we can go back for example next summer and take a player in his place.
Am sure there would be a way of doing it.
13 Jun 2024 12:29:52
If rangers let him go for 2.5 it's shocking should be at least 4, n that's starting they need too be chased, he's doing the buiss over there
Player of the year for them
N stuff
We needtoo stop taking lowball offers.
13 Jun 2024 12:53:47
We should be looking for our money back so if that's all Utrecht can offer we should wait and see if either AZ or Twente get involved . They are both rumoured to be interested .
13 Jun 2024 13:33:21
Atalanta never got their money back either on Lammers but they were smart enough to keep him off their wage bill.
13 Jun 2024 13:41:00
I'd be happy to recoup what we paid for lammers.
13 Jun 2024 13:44:30
“ You can't think Lammers was a bad bit of business by Rangers last year AND think he's now worth £5m”
Lammers was not viewed as bad business last summer. That is why the club signed him. The fans thought it was bad business. But then again, these same fans thought Tillman wasn’t worth £5m so ?♂️
Utrecht seem to love Sam Lammers and they view him as a great piece of business. They want him signed permanently based on his performances with them and I can see why. Their fans can’t believe their luck and are all over social media wanting him back.
Again, selling a player at a loss after a great spell in Holland seems unique to Rangers. At other clubs a good loan spell adds value.
13 Jun 2024 13:44:41
I must be the same Mark, because we ain't losing money on Lammers, find it funny others think different.
13 Jun 2024 13:55:42
Put the boot on the other foot lads, if Utrecht had his contract and we wanted to buy him now based on his performances for them, how much would they be asking for, more than 5mill i'd guess. Not sure what he cost us but i think he deserves another chance under Clement. Maybe with a better strike partner than Dessers alongside him and his regained confidence, he could show his potential.
13 Jun 2024 14:36:36
Wipe last season off and pretend we hadn’t heard of Lammers, if we were now interested in signing him this season with his record with Utrecht we would be wishing it over the line asap.
13 Jun 2024 14:49:55
Aye, because you're right all the time, eh, My star?! ??
The most consistent poster on here for getting things wrong. You know you are mate! ?.
13 Jun 2024 15:50:31
Lol sunshine you get everything correct eh ? you ain't correct here.
13 Jun 2024 15:58:24
Actually liked you comment sunshine, i have got plenty wrong.
13 Jun 2024 16:52:46
The other mob are apparently selling their striker Oh for a mil profit and he's rarely been seen, Lammers is now worth more than 2.5.
13 Jun 2024 17:27:28
Stevie can you show me where this has happened anywhere in world football? I maybe wrong jut never heard or seen it ever.
13 Jun 2024 18:37:48
Storm ☔️ can’t give u a precedent mate no, and I get that it sounds a bit strange. But if they want him and can’t afford what we want for him then a swap deal seems the logical solution, no?
If there’s nobody we want at the minute then simply postpone the player til following summer. I’m sure there’d be a way to whip a contract up to suit.
13 Jun 2024 19:01:20
For me no, I get you are thinking outside the box but it’s ridiculous it could be years before they have someone we want and then what if the player
Doesn’t want to come? It makes no sense whatsoever.
13 Jun 2024 19:11:07
Doubt it. He's expected to cost more than weghorst this window.
13 Jun 2024 21:58:07
I get that storm.
Maybe not practical, fair enough.
Still think it could be done if all parties wanted it but I get it.
Maybe best to take a swap and loan the player out in the hope of a higher fee next summer.
Maybe he’ll come back and surprise us all ? lammers I mean.
