Heard a rumour that it's Josh Maja We are going after. He plays for Bordeaux. In a few pages online. Don't know if there is any truth to it.
1.) 31 Jan 2023 11:16:18
I posted it last night bud seems like who we are after in summer.
2.) 31 Jan 2023 11:23:04
That will do for me someone said he is not the biggest cf maybe not but he is still 6ft tho.
3.) 31 Jan 2023 11:23:41
Isn’t he out of contract in the summer? Isn’t he someone who could be grabbed on a ore-contract now if the club were interested?
4.) 31 Jan 2023 15:52:40
What do we keep going for guys with poor goalscoring records ? granted Maja looks ok but his goals to games is pretty poor Kent can't hit side off a barn door and cantwell obviously needs better numbers at us we need to be adding people that know the way to goals or we will struggle at some point.
Maja looks like another matondo gamble to me great looking highlights but not really great stats to back it up.

Just putting this out there, I don't think We are taking advantage of our youth system the way we should be. We have an amazing Academy and world class facilities at the Rangers training centre. Where we should be producing top talents that should progress into OUR first team, but it's not happening as it should. I know that there is the odd player that gets a chance, like King and Lowrie, but it's not enough. I have noticed that a lot of our young talent is being snapped up by the big teams in the English Premier league for little or no fees, who eventually promote them into there first team and either keep them or sell them on for a lot of money to other teams and Rangers get pennies from a sell on fee. I know the English game is flush with money, but there is no reason we can't do the same. Billy Gilmour is just 1 example where Rangers were to late in promoting him into our first team, and he left for Chelsea where they eventually sold him to Brighton for 13 million.
We have proof that we can do it ourselves, look at Paterson. He played well for club and country and left for a club record fee at that time nearly 16 million. There seems to be a fear in promoting youth into the first team and I think its because the fear of dropping points to Celtic. We also send our best players out on loan down south to championship clubs and below, instead of sending them to clubs in the SPFL where they would be playing if they make it with Rangers. We are losing so much money by not promoting our own youth. Having them play regularly in the first team and in Europe. We would find out very quickly if they are good enough or not. The game in a whole is not being ran well in Scotland. We have the B league, but it's nowhere near good enough for testing young players against quality professionals. The old reserve league was the best for this and should be brought back. Week in and week out, young players played against pro's from every team in the SPFL. Micheal Beale spoke on it and it got me thinking about how our youth are not really benefitting from playing against part time players. We have a young striker in lovelace who played in the Millwall first team and is lighting up the above mentioned B League. Let's see what he can do In our first team. Give him some decent game time and let's see, before he ends up back down south making some other team a lot of money. Another example is the Mebude brothers, got the very little time in our first team and got punted. They are doing well in England now. A young player can't make an impact getting the last 10 mins in a game.
Under Michael Beale, we are playing some really good football and are back to winning games convincingly. So we can afford to give our youth more game time. It's was hard under Gio as we were struggling for 90 mins, I get that. Now is the time to have our youngest and best playing for us and getting them in the shop window, making us millions. We are 9 points behind them just now, we still have a shot, never say never. But if we drop anymore points, the league is as good as gone, perfect time to see what youth players are good enough for going forward.
Rangers have other revenues now with the new Edmiston house, stadium tours and commercial deals all over the world. We have the best fans in the world selling out games and buying merchandise from our various stores world wide. So to to get top dollar from our young players would be another way to pump even more money into the club. I read that Benfica have made over a Billion in player sales since 2000, that's outstanding. Not saying we will make anywhere near that, itsjust an example of doing good business in the transfer market, in particular, the in house youth system.
1.) 04 Feb 2023 12:37:53
Rangers are doing very well here.
2.) 04 Feb 2023 12:56:02
Billy Gilmour was not eligible to play for rangers due to being 15 then he left.
3.) 04 Feb 2023 13:02:27
Sorry Coisty can you repeat that please I missed it.
4.) 04 Feb 2023 13:15:43
I might be wrong but can't think of any Rangers youth academy player snapped up by EPL for little of no fees and promoted into a EPL first team or sold on for a large fee with us getting nothing in recent years. For example the chance of making it as an EPL player from English youth is 1 in 8333. With that probability in mind it should be a rarity to see youth players making it. That is why most get released. What we need to do however is cast our net wide and do our best to get a gem every now and again.
5.) 04 Feb 2023 13:35:21
Why is Lovelace not getting game time if we feel he’s that good and if was getting game time with millwall why is not getting minutes?
6.) 04 Feb 2023 13:37:40
You are wrong John, he was 16 while still at Rangers.
7.) 04 Feb 2023 13:57:42
Stigno it's clearly because the management don't think he is capable just now he will be soon when they think his is able to cope with first team football they will know far better than you or me.
8.) 04 Feb 2023 13:58:35
Remember he is only 16 year old stingo.
9.) 04 Feb 2023 14:15:56
The stig, who knows mate, that's my point, we will never know unless we play him more regularly. Me and my daughter saw him come on at Ibrox against Queen of thr south, he got the last 10 mins, and at that time we were playing to deepand he never got any service up to him.
TJ it's not just Rangers mate, and not just England. Look at all the young Scottish players doing well in Italy at the moment. Lewis ferguson has being has been there less than a year and is being linked with allsorts same with Hickey, now playing in the EPL with Brentford. The point I am making is our young players should be going to bigger clubs, direct from us, where we get the maximum profit. We have done good business with big Basssey and Aribo, so we are going in the right direction there. But I am talking about more home grown talent. a lot of people clearly don't agree and are saying we are doing well in that aspect, but in recent years, I can't think of anyone apart from Paterson that has come from through from a young age and made us a lot of money.
10.) 04 Feb 2023 14:20:14
Lovelace just turned 17 on 23 Jan.
11.) 04 Feb 2023 14:23:29
Coisty he signed a professional deal with Chelsea when he turned 16. You are wrong not John.
12.) 04 Feb 2023 14:40:05
ah right ok lol
didn't realize he was as young - thought he was around 21
ah well welcome to the room 3B lol.
13.) 04 Feb 2023 17:23:39
Maybe give Ure or Lovelace some game time against Thistle next weekend, I agree with others we can't just throw the kids in, but feeding them in gradually will also build their confidence. How was Alfie today folks, and Raskin, albeit 10 or so minutes.
14.) 04 Feb 2023 17:58:39
Na storm trooper your incorrect as well. He was 16 when he left for Chelsea, didn't sign his pro contract with them until he was 17. That makes you both incorrect.
15.) 04 Feb 2023 18:22:05
Coisty I was not wrong. Gilmour turned 16 on 11th off June. U will find seasonnhad ended mate.
16.) 04 Feb 2023 18:24:06
Irv. Alf was poor today, raskin for me showed enough to start next week.
17.) 04 Feb 2023 18:25:24
Stig the boy should be part off set up next season.
18.) 04 Feb 2023 19:38:01
No stormtrooper, you are both wrong, he signed his first pro deal at Chelsea when he was 17, he was still at Ibrox when he was 16. FACT?.
19.) 04 Feb 2023 20:57:47
The point is john, he was still 16 when at Rangers, you said he was only 15, which was wrong. Doesn't matter if it was at the end of the season or not, they could have signed him for the new campaign. We got a lot of stick at the time for not tying him down at the time. Not going to argue about a small part of what i wrote. My point from the whole thing is, we should be bringing through more youth that has came through the Academy. It's worked at Ajax and other major European clubs. Pateron should be the example for our club and our youngsters. Sunderland brought a 15 year old on last week end. What ever, everyone is entitled to there own opinion.
20.) 04 Feb 2023 22:11:53
Cheers John, I am really looking forward to seeing him settling in quickly, Cantwell is a very creative player to, so the future looks fine in that area.
21.) 05 Feb 2023 12:29:02
Coisty in Scotland u can’t bring on 15 year olds,
Your back tracking is epic.
01 Feb 2023 23:35:47
What a difference in Kamara, he is getting back to the player he was. Don't know what happened to him under Gio, but so glad he is back to his old self. Delighted with the way MB has us playing, just unfortunate he has come in when we are 9 points behind the Tims.
1.) 02 Feb 2023 06:59:13
A great watch last night - so many good intense performances from 1st minute.
What a difference when searching balls are placed behind opposition fullbacks and balls are played from bye-line - great to see defenders being turned and running back to their own goal.
Barasic deliveries were superb and on the whole we passed and kept the ball very well. Vast improvement and hope this can be the standard we now set for rest of season in EVERY match. That type of performance can win trophies if sustained.
2.) 02 Feb 2023 07:44:56
He has been given license (like a few of the players) to go where he thinks he needs to be to influence the game.
Cant understand the flak this guys gets - we got him for next to nothing and he will make us good money - - on top of that he is a good skillful football player.
3.) 02 Feb 2023 08:55:06
Agree Coisty, Gio should have gone months before he was eventually sacked, we could have had this league, unfortunately for us Celtic aren't dropping points.
31 Jan 2023 20:41:18
Kevin Nisbet limped off injured tonight against Ross County. He is Definitely not signing for anybody tonight.
31 Jan 2023 20:37:55
How big is Nottingham Forest Squad? The have been signing allsorts since the summer.
1.) 31 Jan 2023 20:49:16
26/ 27 Players at Nottingham Forest since last Summer.
2.) 31 jan 2023 21:30:17
is dave basset the manager there?
3.) 31 Jan 2023 21:43:19
They let go abt 15 end of last season.
31 Jan 2023 20:09:08
2 great players in, still would like a defender before the bell drops. An area that has caused us a problem already this season. Would be OK if we could keep souttar fit for the rest of the season but who knows. Also think that king still has a bit to go. Not to bothered about up front, we have Hagi back, and Lawrence nearly there which will help our attack alot. Might even be time to promote young Lovelace, see what he can do. Keep Roofe fit and Morelos and we will have plenty of options.
01 Feb 2023 23:06:50
I wouldn't say they were thrown to the lions. They got asked to do a job, done their best, but it wasn't good enough. More so Sands than King. Sands got brought over as a defensive midfielder that can also play at CB, King was unlucky in that he is young and never had a proper, experienced defender to ay beside him as they were all injured. He had Sands to play beside, who was no help to him or the team. How do you think he is on the bench and ready to get sent back? MB sees this and knows he has no future at Rangers. Wish the guy well, but as I said in a previous comment, he has cost us in important games with his rash tackles and poor decision making. Not going to Knock the guys attitude, he gave 100%. But never was thrown to the lions. In life sometimes you have to sink or swim.
28 Jan 2023 17:28:27
Storm we need another striker. Roofe is always injured, Morelos doesn't look interested anymore, which pains me to say, love the guy and by all accounts, he is away. Colak needs someone playing beside him. Also we should not be paying over the odds for any player but we have to do better than what we are doing at present. I think when Stephen says it's embarrassing, he is referring to the fact that we are bidding 3 and 4 times for players, instead of talking to the other club and thrashing out a deal. Just home from the match today, we are looking good but are lacking a bit in certain areas. A couple of choice signings and we are there. Let's not forget, the team that's been playing is mostly Stevie G's team. I am in no doubt that Beale is the man for the job, he is getting there, the difference in performance and attitude from the team is night and day from the way it was at the start of the season.
23 Jan 2023 10:23:47
It's on his wiki page that he currently plays for Glasgow Rangers.
04 Feb 2023 20:57:47

04 Feb 2023 18:02:20
Just back from the game, parts of that were hard to watch, Mclauchlan needs punted, he made us all nervous. Cantwell is a class act, we Raskin came on and done well. Still heading in the right direction. A bit of work still to be done to correct what Gio has left.
04 Feb 2023 17:58:39
Na storm trooper your incorrect as well. He was 16 when he left for Chelsea, didn't sign his pro contract with them until he was 17. That makes you both incorrect.
