Ben Johnson, met and discussed. On circa 20k a week at West ham. Defender comfortable across the back 4, desperate for first team minutes.
1.) 30 Apr 2024 23:59:56
He a fullback mainly rb.
2.) 01 May 2024 08:10:27
He is predominantly a right back that can play left back too.
3.) 01 May 2024 09:20:20
Would be a decent addition good all rounder defensively n pacy going forward.
4.) 01 May 2024 09:41:19
He will sign for Crystal Palace not Rangers.
5.) 01 May 2024 18:39:40
Someone I was talking about last year would like him to sign but can see him opting for a lower prem team first maybe newly promoted team.
30 Apr 2024 11:00:06
Hi all, todays info re summer window.
Iheanacho is a live link, he is however on the upward of 60k a week. We wouldn't be close to paying that, he however won't have an offer to match his current Leicester wage.
Callum Ohare has been approached, however Burnley are infront of us to pull off the bosman.
Roofe, Borna and jack won't be offered deals.
Lunny has been but Seems off to Turkey. (length of contract the issue from Rangers) .
Dowell, Davies, Lawrence will be moved on. Cantwell (seems to moving on too) has anyone else picked that up?
No gerrard interest in Tav
Butland will be offered a new bumper contract with a release clause.
1.) 30 apr 2024 11:38:26
fantastic info again mate, i can see everything you say,
i can see those outgoings definitely and i can see tav still here too, i would prefer a whole new defence because we cannot rely on goodson and souter at the heart again, they’re neither good enough for europe or a title bid, celtic will throw cash at rodgers without doubt, we must be ready.
2.) 30 Apr 2024 15:34:08
UJ do you think Butland being offered a new contract is an insurance policy as we did with Morelos?
3.) 30 Apr 2024 18:41:46
NRD look how that worked.
4.) 30 Apr 2024 17:19:31
NRD I think this will be a set fee which English clubs can activate. Would suit JB.
5.) 30 Apr 2024 20:36:15
Butland deal makes sense . We’d be daft to let him go unless compensated 8m+
Also I recon the only thing that would motivate him to go back down south would be money so a new bumper deal with a decent release clause is great for both parties.
22 Apr 2024 10:28:59
Diomande loan will be made permanent.
Any idea if Cortes will?
1.) 22 Apr 2024 11:05:19
I'd imagine given the injury the loan to buy will be renewed for a further season.
2.) 22 Apr 2024 11:38:38
I thought we already signed diomande on. Permanent deal 4.5 million in total I think it is?
It’s the Cortes deal that’s a loan with option to buy?
3.) 22 Apr 2024 12:35:41
Cortes is a must.
4.) 22 apr 2024 12:51:48
i really like cortez myself, been some time since we had a winger who can cut inside a hit a decent shot.
5.) 22 Apr 2024 13:07:22
Think diomande is on loan with obligation to buy at 5million euro next season.
6.) 22 Apr 2024 13:10:19
Has to be extended for another season I'd imagine, we never got to see enough of him and he has stayed with us while injured. Can't imagine we splash cash on him without a proper run of games. Looks a decent young player.
7.) 22 Apr 2024 13:51:58
Diomande is a smashing midfielder and he will be our player at the end of the season ?I also hope we sign our young loanee winger oscar cortes, as from what i've already seen of him, he looks a superb, young winger?I really like the look of cortes ?.
8.) 22 Apr 2024 14:15:27
Obligation to buy, been discussed hundreds of times.
9.) 22 Apr 2024 14:50:34
Cortes showed me enough in his short term playing that he’s a no brainer.
10.) 22 Apr 2024 15:29:20
Surely we have learned our lesson with signing injury prone players. Not saying Cortes will become one but surely the smart thing to do is renegotiate to a year loan with the same fee next summer, to make sure he’s the same player when he’s fit.
11.) 22 Apr 2024 15:44:39
The smart thing would be to put an obligation to buy this time and extend thr loan. Afyer all we splash money on guys like lammers before anyone has seen what theyd be like. Cortes is a no brainer unless you are happy to persist with matondo and wright.
12.) 22 Apr 2024 17:13:07
I think both will be signed.
13.) 22 Apr 2024 17:58:02
why not that is exactly how most transfers have happened for the 50 plus years.
14.) 22 Apr 2024 18:06:23
Both be signed in my opinion. It's not just as easy as to say let’s extend the by another year.
15.) 22 Apr 2024 18:10:14
An extension to the loan to buy deal is the best course of action for us. I've loved the look of what I've seen so far but have people not learned a thing the last few years wanting to jump in and pay a few million for a guy that's just had pretty serious knee surgery?
16.) 22 Apr 2024 18:43:25
I think Cortes will be signed permanently this summer. Don’t see why Lens would loan him to us for a season with an option to buy when they could probably sell him elsewhere if they wanted to.
17.) 22 Apr 2024 20:11:36
Hopefully due to his injury we can negotiate a deal for Cortes at a lesser amount than we originally agreed.
18.) 22 Apr 2024 21:15:46
Only way I see another loan is if we pay a decent loan fee with an option to buy so let’s say they want £5 million we pay £1.5-2 million for the years loan and if we want to keep him we need to hand over the other £3 million.
19.) 23 Apr 2024 15:14:13
Hyped to see this team next season
Attack
LW Cortes
CF Danilo
RW Sima
Midfield
CAM Diomande
LCDM Raskin
RCDM Sterling
Defence
LB Yilmaz
LCB? (not Souttar or Davies / Balogun will be away) A Quality new young lad.
RCB Goldson
RB Tavernier
GK Butland.
20.) 23 Apr 2024 16:43:47
We have signed diomande basically do people not know difference between option and obligation to buy this is done just to shift finances from one season to another and I think you will see this happen more at our club.
21.) 23 Apr 2024 17:22:37
Not easy to predict who will be in our starting 11 next season, but the focus is on our remaining fixtures.
Sima - excellent loan signing but can we afford to sign him permanently.
Cortes- looked good until he was injured ( maybe another loan deal) .
Danilo - unfortunately he has been injured for the majority of this season.
Lundstram- media reporting Ipswich are interested.
Raskin - rarely featured under PC.
Balogun- excellent v Hearts ( extend his contract? ) .
Hopefully we sign a LCB and another LB plus CF in the next transfer window.
22.) 23 Apr 2024 19:57:55
L/ H Sterling and Yilmaz fullbacks two new cb's.
23.) 24 Apr 2024 05:08:34
Your bang on there My star, was making up a team with more of the quality young players we have in the squad, Sterling is a deadset replacement for Tav until he moves on likely PC will continue to use Sterling in the numerous positions he can play, i reckon that has been
as a CDM.
Good to see your still around mate.
Cheers for the reply.
24.) 24 Apr 2024 20:06:15
Obligation does mean we need to buy but if we couldn't there would be a penalty amount we would need to pay. Also same goes the other way if they decide they don't want to sell. They would need to pay us a prior agreed penalty amount.
16 Apr 2024 07:57:49
Posted a while back asking if anyone had heard the bosmans we approached were represented by wasserman football agents. (Who we have a strong relationship with) .
Heard last night Callum O hare is one gathering pace. Rejected new deal at Coventry, represented by wasserman and in our wage bracket.
1.) 16 Apr 2024 09:43:08
Good player and definitely 1 who could improve us.
2.) 16 Apr 2024 10:38:05
Mentioned o'hare weeks ago in what I thought was gd info from a friend, it wasn't, but in saying that, there might be something in it, also seen the mob were mentioning him too few days back.
3.) 16 Apr 2024 11:17:26
Given the number of players we NEED to lose and replace, I imagine at least 5 Bosmans and 2 or 3 loans.
Hope PC and co have already got a list?
4.) 16 Apr 2024 11:45:09
I suppose in regard to O'Hare only issue we have is Celtic want him as well, and if we're not in CL it might be the determining factor. Could be wrong.
5.) 16 Apr 2024 11:59:48
Bar I think loan market will need to be targeted very astutely.
6.) 16 Apr 2024 14:38:48
John is cortez resigning on loan a possibility.
7.) 16 Apr 2024 15:03:39
One Walter I’d like to think we sign him, however it maybe prudent ro tie up a loan with obligation to buy.
8.) 16 Apr 2024 18:58:57
Looking at EPL players that are available on Bosmans and given our need for an upgrade in a number of positions I wonder whether any of the following are worth a punt.
Could be wrong but is Nathan Ferguson and Will Hughes available from Crystal Palace. I watched Hughes against Liverpool and he doesn't take prisoners. He is also a better player than Lundstrum.
Ferguson is still young and a Centre Back, not sure if he has had injury problems.
Another option at centre back would be Fabian Schar, he is getting on a bit but he is a solid centre back.
Tomas Soucek at West Ham is another option for midfield, solid defensively and still only 29.
Last but not least, is Ali McBurnie an option up front. He is 27 and has to be an upgrade on anything we currently have upfront. He is also a massive Rangers Supporter which has to be a plus.
9.) 16 Apr 2024 19:20:02
Cortes is exactly the kind of winger we have been looking for. i'd be disappointed if we don't tie him down.
10.) 16 Apr 2024 21:53:07
The Southampton player rumour recently, thought to be Armstrong, could it be Che Adams who will be out of contract?
11.) 16 Apr 2024 22:31:38
Biggar I think adams could be a great replacement for Roofe. Similar type player with decent eye for goal.
12.) 16 Apr 2024 22:34:10
Was thinking that the other day Biggar, seen something about Adams, Fletcher and McBurnie, heid like a sieve, can't mind where though. Quite like Adams too.
13.) 16 Apr 2024 22:35:30
Bigger, it was Armstrong.
14.) 17 Apr 2024 08:37:37
John27 do you or anyone else know if the injury to Cortes has put doubt into the club singing him since they didn't get to see him as much as they would have liked to?
15.) 17 Apr 2024 11:22:34
Burt, given serious of injury I suspect there will be doubt, hence reason I say loan to buy obligation if he proves fitness.
16.) 17 Apr 2024 13:26:44
Cortez looks the part hopefully a loan can be sorted to free up cash elsewhere, another big rebuild does not help us but with so many out the door and others needing replaced right through the team we could be double figures in numbers going out and in.
17.) 17 Apr 2024 16:46:23
Is Nils Koppen not trying to reduce the average age of the squad? plus Schar and Soucek are probably on big wages.
18.) 17 Apr 2024 23:10:40
Copland, my understanding is that we are looking for a mixture of youth and experience. Soucek in particular would be a massive upgrade in what we currently have and he might happy to move for a lower wage if he was given a 3 year contract. Definitely a better option than Lundstrum.
We have to start signing better quality players with fight and the right mentality. Otherwise next season will just be another like this season and Celtic will move even further ahead.
19.) 18 Apr 2024 12:37:37
Fork, none of the hammer throwers in this league going to knock McBurnie about, he wants to come here .
20 Mar 2024 20:56:17
Homegrown talent is something we've looked into . Have heard whispers again re Connor Barron.
Lennon miller is not being looked at as to expensive.
Liam Kelly (GK) previously with the club.
Jack Mackenzie Aberdeen left back, unsure of interest.
Danny Armstrong and David Watson of Killie both affordable.
1.) 20 Mar 2024 23:11:58
All believable, Lenton Miller will go for big bucks.
2.) 21 Mar 2024 07:56:19
Miller looks like he's going to be a great player, and with Barron this is my opinion, but I'd rather give rice more minutes and cole McKinnon
Our midfields decent unless we are letting lunny go that would be a big loss.
3.) 21 Mar 2024 09:00:28
All believable Union, I posted all these names in December with exception of Armstrong…
Add in Cameron.
4.) 21 Mar 2024 10:22:56
John, didn’t realise you had posted the names before my apologies.
I can recall you replying to my Barron post. Is it Innes Cameron from Killie?
I also heard we looked at Lewis Mayo for homegrown.
5.) 21 Mar 2024 11:30:26
Union no issue at all, u r just confirming what I had heard, couple good names in there I think, lyall Cameron Dundee.
We have a buy back clause re mayo. I’m not convinced he would be the standard required.
6.) 21 Mar 2024 12:22:39
Could be costly not going for Lenton Miller did we not pull out on a deal with Barron apparently. Would love miller Barron and Watson at ranger with rice and McKinnon they would all need to fight against each other for a spot on the squad/ starting 11.
7.) 21 Mar 2024 12:28:16
I'd like to see Armstrong with better players around him, to bring him on. I agree about the boy Watson.
8.) 21 Mar 2024 12:52:50
Why would Lennon Miller go for big bucks when he's only got a year left on his contract and can sign on a Bosman in 8 months?
9.) 21 Mar 2024 13:00:17
Liam kelly is no better than mcCrorie.
10.) 21 Mar 2024 13:50:09
Both Armstrong and particularly Watson look superb talents. I'd be delighted if we started to sign players performing very well in our league.
11.) 21 Mar 2024 15:49:11
Mayo is better than Davies in my opinion and he's played very well at Killie this season. Does anybody know what the buy is on him?
12.) 21 Mar 2024 16:50:36
Agree with that Paul, think John mentioned Daniel Bachman a few days ago, thought we were looking at him if I mind right?.
13.) 21 Mar 2024 17:56:49
Paul I wrote we wanted Kelly as a three, would he want that.
14.) 21 Mar 2024 17:58:32
I did fork.
15.) 21 Mar 2024 18:19:12
Good to be linked with young players currently playing in the SPL, but hopefully Bailey Rice makes the transition from the B team to the first team squad in the not too distant future.
16.) 21 Mar 2024 18:45:41
Aye mind u saying John, don't think Kelly would want to be a 3 John if he's a no 1, would be no use to him, but hey ho u never know?.
17.) 21 Mar 2024 19:49:00
Lennon Miller will go to EPL and he has a few options. Us and that other lot won’t match what he’s going to get financially down there.
18.) 21 Mar 2024 19:49:55
Watson coming and being loaned back to Killie could be clever business.
19.) 23 Mar 2024 01:57:34
Ideally we rear our own youngsters but it's very difficult to do that in such a tight league. Maybe a couple go out on loan like king and rice to get game experience.
20.) 25 Mar 2024 23:32:53
Don’t know if Kelly would want to be playing in the championship next season.

Kieran Dowell injured again.

Get him out sharon.
30 Apr 2024 17:19:31
NRD I think this will be a set fee which English clubs can activate. Would suit JB.
26 Apr 2024 16:37:14
Have heard quite similar John. Also heard Lunny agreed deal with Trabzonspor along with Barasic.
A good start to a heavy wage bill being reduced.
15 Apr 2024 17:03:50
Good goalie John, having a great season.
Definitely scouting goalies. I feel he may have a chance at Brighton next year over Steele.
27 Mar 2024 21:27:45
John, I had heard koppen met 2 also. Is your two players being supported by the Wasserman Agency?
21 Mar 2024 10:22:56
John, didn’t realise you had posted the names before my apologies.
