Morning folks, spoke to a pal and former player last night for the first time in a while, and of course the topic of transfers came up, he's not directly in the know and will likely be drip fed bits and bobs from other former employees and he doesn't share much with me regarding this, although he was the one that told me about Steve Davis house hunting a week before the story of him coming back broke, so pinch of salt that was a while ago.
Steven Alzate very much being considered, depends on David Weir offering him a new contract or not, that would determine pre contract or loan.
Galatasaray have made contact with Yilmaz, and Barasic is being looked at on a pre contract from Dinamo Zagreb, so left back will be a priority, nothing shocking there, but the name I was told was Gijs Smal, haven't been on in a while so apologies if this name has already been brought up. Says he hasn't heard anything about Owen Beck.
The Batshuayi news came out of the blue, but says not to dismiss it entirely yet, but a striker is on the January shopping list.
Nothing mentioned about Shankland, or the winger from Vitese but again he won't hear or know everything or maybe knows nothing but was an interesting wee chat anyway and thought I'd pass it on.
Also happy new year folks hope you all had a good one and here's to your health.

Be honest mate you’ve no spoke to no one, every bit of info you’ve stated has also been stated on FF and everywhere else, literally.

Id like the Belgian boy that used to play for Chelsea, as I don’t think Shankland is realistic in this window. So we’d have to take some kind of risk anyway, so a guy that has scored in a lot of top level leagues and has a 1 outta 2 ratio with his country isn’t the worst idea! Plus he has a point to prove to get into the Belgian side. But I know we’ve been stung before.

I just think Dessers is pure rotten! We’re no winning any league with him upfront! Stating the obvious I know. This is just my personal opinion- if we have to take a gamble, take a gamble on a someone proven. Yes I get his wages are big, but it’s only 6 months, and could help in Europe.

If what the reports are saying is true and we were offered him, and turned it down! I would hope Rangers re consider. Especially if it’s only loans we’re looking at! Then I’d like Shankland in the summer. When the price might be lower. And if it’s no the Belgian boy I would like to see someone like that. Only if Defoe was 8 years younger, I was a huge fan of Jermain Defoe.

Famous good way to start off posting, slag off another person who is only, passing on a rumour to rumour page.

And fyi, my friend is a commercial executive for an spfl league club, and formerly held a similar position with a premiership club, which is where he met the former McLeish era rangers player and became friends with, and through the odd game of fives that's how i met him, speculate and doubt all you want, but i won't be name dropping and unlike you thefamous will happily enjoy engaging and offering something to the site, unlike you. ??.

Why is it when some people come onto a Rumour page and state what they have heard and from where. They are shot down and challanged where they heard the rumours from.

We all want the best for our club and this is a Rumours Page. So don't go shooting down people when they post.

I myself have heard that Clement will make use of more of our youth players, to develop them further. Also coming in this transfer window will be a striker and not someone who has played for Chelsea. Also left back and centre half and if Raskin is sold this window a defensive midfielder will be brought in. Hopefully someone who can control a ball and pass well.

Galatasary most definitely want Yilmaz as I have mentioned previously and as I understand it, Fernabahce should not be dismissed, (although whether this is just mischief making on their part I'm not sure) .
It was suggested to me that this is where the Batshuyi rumour emanated from, (that a loan deal for Batshuyi would be part of the deal) . Presumably the deal would be structured in such away where Rangers could avoid any sell on clause or additional payment to Besiktas. (I am not affair with the terms of Yilmaz original transfer so cannot comment further on this) .

Hasn't rattled me at all mate, as I've said if you can read properly I haven't been on here in a while, so apologies if any has been previously mentioned, and there doesn't seem to be anything shocking or out of the box with what I passed on, and that's just it, a couple wee bits of info to pass on, you know, to a rumours site, whether true or not is anyone's guess, but that's how this site works mate, so tru to get on board and work that out.
