Saudi club chasing Sakala £4m apparently.
1.) 13 Jul 2023 22:39:27
If we can get approx 10m for Sakala, Kamara and Colak that's good imo for 3 players who probably wouldn't feature much this coming season. Ideally find a club willing to take Matondo and Wright? Gives us funds to secure Cifuentes
and bring in another ST, CB. Have to congratulate Beale and the board on delivering what they said was going to happen over the summer ?.
2.) 13 Jul 2023 22:51:55
Would sell him for £4m in a heartbeat.
3.) 13 Jul 2023 23:11:28
Yip mate board and Beale have done an amazing job this summer and I feel they will finish it perfectly.
We will get Danilo cifuentes and 2 cb’s and I think that’s us set for the season.
Safer to say mccrorie is off. I think we will get another keeper in and get rid of mcglaughlin.
Then we will lose the others so working it out we could get and I’m edging on the side of reserves prices
Mccrorie - £2m
Mcglaughlin - £250k
Davies- £3m
Kamara - £5m
Matondo - loan
Wright - £250k
Colak - £2m
Sakala -£4m
I think all the above will definitely leave so that’s £16.5m it’s not too bad atall.
We then could still lose 1 of Hagi £5m or Lawrence £1.5-2m as Lowry can take their place in squad. but I see Hagi backing up cantwell and Lawrence backing up lammers with dowell backing up sima and dessers and Danilo battling for no9 spot.
Roofe would be sold if we get an offer and a club are willing to pay his wages but I see him staying as 3rd choice cf
All in all it’s a good window. Interested to see what we’ve spent compared to what we bring in and how improved the squad is.
4.) 14 Jul 2023 00:54:20
Just hope we can gel all these players quick. We cannot afford to have a slow start.
5.) 14 Jul 2023 00:54:55
Spot on, was just about to post this
My 24 man squad for next season
Gk- butland, hogarth/ new 2nd choice
RB- Tav, Sterling
CB- goldson, souttar, trusty, mckenna?, balogun
LB - yilmaz, borna
CM - raskin, cifuentes, Jack, lundstrum
CAM - dowell, cantwell, lawrence, hagi/ lowry
Attackers - sima, Lammers
CF - Dessers, Danillo, Roofe.
6.) 14 Jul 2023 00:55:28
Kamara 4-5 mill. (current value 5.5m/ Eu)
Colak 4-5 mill. (current value 5m/ Eu)
Sakala 4-5 mill. (current value 5.5m/ Eu)
Kamaras deal expires May 31, 2025.
50k to Ramgers.
Colaks deal expires May 31, 2025.
2.5 mill to Raners.
Sakalas deal expires May 31, 2025.
Free to Rangers.
12- 15 mill we should be taking in for all 3 players if there sold.
Danilo (current value 7.5 mill/ Eu)
Contract expires Jun 30, 2026.
Free to Feyenoord.
If feyenoord can ask for and get top cash for there free sinings.
Rangers can too we are a far bigger club than Feyenoord who ar the equivalent of Aberdeen in our league.
Ajax and P. S. V obviously being the equivalent of Rangers and Brenda's mob.
7.) 14 Jul 2023 01:05:14
Unfortunately doubt we will get 2m for McCrorie. Like that lad and don't blame him for wanting to move. Hagi is one I feel may also leave? On the fence with him tbh . talented, but he's so unbelievably slow! Lawrence on the other hand I'd be u happy if he left. Feel he could be a huge player for us.
8.) 14 Jul 2023 01:34:00
StevieG2, can see some of them coming to fruition hopefully, however depends what clubs are prepared to pay. Think your pricing is completely realistic and if it happens, hopefully Beale will get to reinvest. Given his budget was apparently c£15m prior to sales, he has spent c£8m excluding sign on fees, that could mean another 4/ 5 players in that Beale wants.
9.) 14 Jul 2023 02:21:16
Why do people keep mentioning Scott McKenna? The guy is a Celtic fan, and if he did make the unlikely decision to leave the English Premiership for Scotland, he is almost certainly be joining them. They would take a LCB of his quality no problem, and he’s prefer to join them.
10.) 14 Jul 2023 04:00:01
Feyenoord The same as Aberdeen are you having a laugh laudrup they regularly get over 47k supporters are in the champions league and there league is miles better than ours ohh aye and they won the league ? and a team worth 200million take the blue tinted specs off now and again.
11.) 14 Jul 2023 06:09:48
Who makes this up feynoord the equivalent to the sheep ??. They are Dutch champions when was last time the sheep won the league?
12.) 14 Jul 2023 06:53:38
i was referring in to success rate in each respective league.
SPFL
1) Rangers
2) Celtic
3) Aberdeen
Eredivisie
1) Ajax
2) PSV
3) Feyenoord
Fair enough guys i should have clarified that.
13.) 14 Jul 2023 07:43:17
VerdantAbyss, you mentioned we should have signed liam lindsay in an earlier post what club did he support as a kid ?He supported celtic so you're contradicting yourself pal?It matters nowt that scott mckenna supported celtic as a boy he's a good left sided, scottish centre half and that's all i'm interested in ?.
14.) 14 Jul 2023 08:50:40
Huey, Kieran wright will be number three.
Hogarth going on loan, likely England
There is only one keeper in Scotland Beale May sign.
15.) 14 Jul 2023 11:06:36
Cheers John. Is there suggestions of a new keeper coming in as 2nd choice, who does Beale like?
16.) 14 Jul 2023 11:49:18
“My dad was a Celtic season-ticker holder. I went to a few Celtic games round the time they were doing well in Europe. I remember being there when Alan Thompson scored versus Barcelona. I used to love going to a midweek game at Parkhead under the lights. ” - Scott McKenna.
17.) 14 Jul 2023 11:19:46
If Scott McKenn was going to leave the English Premiership for Scotland then he’d join Celtic, not Rangers. They would love to partner him with CCV.
Liam Lindsay is one I remember breaking through in Scotland and thought the club should’ve picked him up at the time. If he’s a Celtic fan forget it. I would not have someone in the team who would rather be at Celtic. Have you learned nothing from the MOH transfer? Getting paid by Rangers but attends Celtic games. Never again.
18.) 14 Jul 2023 12:37:37
Forget all l that verdant it’s not about that it’s about the best player for the position and the quata for the club. I’d take McKenna or Lindsay no problem.
19.) 14 Jul 2023 12:47:43
No suggestion, let’s wait see what happens re Mccrorie
Beale thinks McGregor had couple of years left as a three.
20.) 14 Jul 2023 12:48:57
Verdant, explain your bigoted view.
21.) 14 Jul 2023 13:17:52
Correct John27,this bigoted s***e should have been left behind years ago?Its like continually living in the stoneage with some honestly ?.
22.) 14 Jul 2023 13:33:06
I always thought you were quite a smart fellow, John. However, false accusations of bigotry are a string indicator that you're completely clueless. In fact, one of the Ed’s should take a look at the post you I’ve just made as it’s highly questionable.
I don't want a supporter of our biggest rivals to play for Rangers. I could never feel confident that they were giving Rangers 100%. Case and point being MOH who literally attended Celtic games while playing for Rangers. Can you explain to me why that is bigotry, in your mind? Is it racist? Is it religious hatred? What on Earth are you on about, mate?
23.) 14 Jul 2023 14:06:50
@Sir Walter - Nothing bigoted was said. Get your tongue out John’s backside and start using your brain. Where did I mention race or religion? What part of anything I said was bigoted? John is talking abolsute nonsense, and foolishly, you agreed with it ?♂️?.
04 Jul 2023 13:53:30
Tav to Saudi with Gerrard! What price are we plucking out the air?, if there's any truth to the rumour.
1.) 04 Jul 2023 14:09:38
Gerrard being interested in him makes sense, I saw Wright mentioned too.
2.) 04 Jul 2023 14:13:34
20m take him along with Kamara and Hagi 60m gets the three lol.
3.) 04 Jul 2023 14:20:04
£8m easy.
4.) 04 Jul 2023 14:26:11
Machines 5m for Wright lol.
5.) 04 Jul 2023 14:40:53
Is this the same Gerrard that was going to take Kamara, Barisic and Morelos to Villa? Remember when a few on here posted that? ?.
6.) 04 Jul 2023 14:48:26
Normal sale would take 9. Saudi 12. Gerrard, add another 2.
7.) 04 Jul 2023 14:51:17
Big difference between Prem and current Saudi Pro league level though. I'd not be surprised at all if he does us a favour and takes a few. I bet Kent is absolutely raging he didn't wait another few weeks to pick a club.
8.) 04 Jul 2023 14:55:34
Beale was that the news £5m for wright right enough, suppose it's pocket money for Saudi kids . could be 5m co-op stamps?
9.) 04 Jul 2023 14:57:15
If he bids £10m for Tav the club would take it no doubt. I’m a bit torn on him leaving as his goals and assists record season in and out is hard to replace although at his age a sizeable transfer fee makes sense for club to cash in.
I would prefer Kamara to go as we have plenty of options in that area so hopefully Gerrard can give us £8m for him.
10.) 04 Jul 2023 15:00:08
Yahoo we might rake in a Kings ransom for players we don't want, what a wonderful life it is . remind Stevie about McLaughlin £3m yer on Stevie . plus add ons etc etc Lundstram £30m ooyah.
11.) 04 Jul 2023 15:00:37
Pretty sure Stevie G will want to be able to compete with the other teams in the Saudi league. That means bringing in players who can compete with Ronaldo, Benzema and players of that ilk. That must rule out Scott Wright et al. He could pick up Morelos for nothing but I'd bet against him or any of our players being pursued.
12.) 04 Jul 2023 15:18:34
Morelos has an offer from Saudi already. Also got one from Spain and Italy. His old agent is messing him about by not passing over stuff to his new agent.
13.) 04 Jul 2023 15:24:46
Any team looking for an attacking RB could do a lot worse than James Tavernier. In every attacking metric he’s one of the top full-snack in European football, and has been for years. A model professional as well. He's realistically the only player Gerrard would touch from our current squad.
14.) 04 Jul 2023 15:25:39
I wouldn't be against tav going for 10 mill. he's 31 now and were not exactly flush.
15.) 04 Jul 2023 15:30:22
Agree with most comments regarding Tav’s goals and assists but with the quality of the new players I think the goals will be spread out more just my thoughts.
16.) 04 Jul 2023 15:36:43
10m for Tav and throw Wright in for free
6m for Kamara throw in Roofe for free.
17.) 04 Jul 2023 16:16:08
Copland5 Bologna and Seville heard that a few weeks ago mate but never heard about interest from Saudi must be recent.
18.) 04 Jul 2023 16:23:19
Why not give him Cantwell and Rasking too for free!
F**k me!
19.) 04 Jul 2023 16:25:24
Got to be 10m for Tav. Hagi could well be another? Be shocked if he was interested in Wright. If so, try and flog them Sakala and Matono anaw!
20.) 04 Jul 2023 16:52:31
If Jota is worth £25mil i would be asking for £30+Mil for Tav.
21.) 04 Jul 2023 17:57:14
At that money I can see Jota stopping cutting his own hair and getting a barber to do it .
22.) 04 Jul 2023 19:25:21
At least £30million for tav or he goes nowhere ?.
23.) 04 Jul 2023 21:14:14
If it’s a club from Saudi Arabia then stupid money should be charged. Tavernier deserves one last big payday as well.
24.) 04 Jul 2023 21:27:48
If tav wanted to go with stevie g for the money i'd understand.
Been a great servant.

Hearts couldn't afford Roofe's wages and is he not injured anyway.
25 Jul 2023 19:31:29
Is there really a 5m release clause? I was hoping we could nudge up the price if a few teams were interested. Good luck to him and a few quid in the bank.
