Rangers Rumours

23 Apr 2024 15:02:08
Speaking to a sheep fan who is friendly w one of the aberdeen directors (family connection) that miovski is going to Rangers or Norwich in the summer. Celtic not interested apparently.
Take this w a pinch of salt but thought I would share it.

23 Apr 2024 18:42:05
a would take him over shankland, but they will probs want a pretty penny for him.

23 Apr 2024 20:00:45
Some sites allegedly saying 8 million. I’d b surprised.

23 Apr 2024 20:26:36
Anybody heard that Sima is available for 6 million at the end of the loan or is it just chatter?

23 Apr 2024 20:34:32
Also seeing rumblings about Soapys brother and Ben Johnson, on a few sites, but mostly dodgy ones, anyone heard if we are or is it just pants and column fillers.

23 Apr 2024 21:44:00
I think he would be a good signing but be surprised if we would pay the £6m to £8m quoted.
Be surprised if anyone would pay that though for an Aberdeen player.

23 Apr 2024 22:13:27
Calvin ramsay went for 5m plus add ons to liverpool.

24 Apr 2024 05:14:43
How long has Miovski got on his contract?
Quality striker, young and still developing has bags of pace scores good goals and can score against Celtic to boot, what's not to like, 4-5mill seems fair, 6mill for Sima who is in the final year of his Brighton contract at the end of his spell with us.

24 Apr 2024 05:28:14
Forktongue . i would say that rumour of Sima for 6 mill has some clout, its been doing the rounds over here amongst the hardcore gers fans at the MRSC in Aus mate.

24 Apr 2024 05:33:37
Cheers, Laudruphagi think I'd take that bud👍.

24 Apr 2024 05:48:21
He was up byres Road Road and Ashton Lane other day, also he was wearing green, make of that what you will lol 😆.

24 Apr 2024 07:11:57
If we want a decent striker we’re going to have to pay otherwise we stick with what we’ve got. It’s up to the finance people.

24 Apr 2024 07:41:51
Assuming we keep hold of both dessers and danilo and the only striker we lose is roofe, then in all probability only 1 striker will be signed in the close season 🤔.

24 Apr 2024 07:53:31
I would be delighted with either as both proven prolific strikers n it's what we need too take us forward either him or shanks would be good addition.

24 Apr 2024 08:09:00
Possibly but prefer Miovski (younger) better sell on, Shankland may do a job, age against him slightly.

24 Apr 2024 08:14:00
Sima to me looks like thr best finisher we have. All kinds of goals. I hope we sign him and play him CF. The option is always there to play on the wing also.

24 Apr 2024 11:22:29
If the rumours we bid for Denky who's valued at 7/ 8m surely we'd try again this summer he's a better striker imo than shankland or Miovsky.

24 Apr 2024 11:29:04
Denky now tipped to be worth double that.

24 Apr 2024 12:36:46
Dont get this Miovski has scored one more goal than Dessers this season in league and according to some on here he's rank so why would you pay millions for Moivski.

24 Apr 2024 12:57:23
Missed the boat on Dhenky his price has gone up, z depends on interest on Mivoski from other clubs as to what price, we will need two strikers and have no problem Shankland being one, we could spend big on another but a lot depends on CL and who goes out the door, Dessers Lammers and DANILO COULD ALL be gone.

24 apr 2024 13:26:31
twacoos, miovski has played all season in a terrible team that's almost bottom, dessers has played in a team that dominates 90% of most matches

but you don't get it , numbers often don't tell the full story.

24 apr 2024 13:29:57
shankland and miovski would do me just fine.

24 Apr 2024 13:39:50
One Walter denkey now valued 20 million with big interest from spurs.

24 Apr 2024 16:06:25
Miovski may have only scored 1 more goal however how many chances has he had to score those goals?

Shanks or Mioski would score barrel loads at Rangers. plus the other Rangers players would have more trust in them to give them even more chances.

Im honestly lost at how anyone has faith in Dessers anymore.

Fair enough he has score a couple of good goals but come on, he's missed so many sitters and good chances its a joke at this point.

22 Apr 2024 10:28:59
Diomande loan will be made permanent.
Any idea if Cortes will?

22 Apr 2024 11:05:19
I'd imagine given the injury the loan to buy will be renewed for a further season.

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?

22 Apr 2024 12:35:41
Cortes is a must.

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.

22 Apr 2024 13:07:22
Think diomande is on loan with obligation to buy at 5million euro next season.

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.

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 👌.

22 Apr 2024 14:15:27
Obligation to buy, been discussed hundreds of times.

22 Apr 2024 14:50:34
Cortes showed me enough in his short term playing that he’s a no brainer.

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.

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.

22 Apr 2024 17:13:07
I think both will be signed.

22 Apr 2024 17:58:02
why not that is exactly how most transfers have happened for the 50 plus years.

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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

23 Apr 2024 19:57:55
L/ H Sterling and Yilmaz fullbacks two new cb's.

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.

20 Apr 2024 17:30:01
Otterspocket, i was speaking to a big jambo supporter in our local shop who has been a hearts season ticket holder and shareholder for over 40 years and follows hearts everywhere. He told me today that he has it from a very good source of his that lawrence shankland is a done deal to sign for rangers in the close season 🤔 so i have the same info as yourself mate 👍 I've also been told that even in january alex rae was constantly in clement's ear that we should have signed shankland in january never mind this summer 🤔 All the jambo i was talking to would say it's from a very high position he got his info and he ain't happy that as far as he's concerned, shankland is signing for rangers,
time will tell 🤔.

20 Apr 2024 18:03:05
he is to old and to slow we have to do better.

20 Apr 2024 18:28:53
We need to replace dessers and roofe and get the home grown quota up its a no brainer as long as we are getting a main striker in on top.
Danilo will be a dud as well.

20 Apr 2024 18:53:52
He can still show Dessers how to finish👍.

20 Apr 2024 19:22:19
Car-d blue, how about Mbappe, Haaland, Salah, or Bellingham? Are they better enough. We need to be realistic as to where we are - we are no longer a club that can attract the best players like the 90's - had Shankland signed in Jan, then I've no doubt we'd be top of the league just now.

20 Apr 2024 20:00:30
Aberdeen scored twice today from crosses to back post. We can’t do that with a 100 corners. Different type of player to what we have.

20 Apr 2024 20:29:22
Totally agree SirStruth 👍.

20 Apr 2024 22:03:32
I wonder if we’ll see a change to the system if he does indeed sign? I’m not sure he’s going to chase down every lost ball or press on the same way Dessers does today.

If he does sign I wish him the best of luck.

20 Apr 2024 22:38:16
Really don’t want Shankland he’s nothing special. he's beyond slow.

20 Apr 2024 23:20:38
SWS I was told the only reason we didn’t sign him in January was because we were skint and needed to sell first to buy him but it didn’t work out. Shanks is desperate to sign for us. I got laughed at on here when he was at Ayr Utd and I said we should sign him for £100k…………my ex team mate played for Ayr Utd, my other ex team mate managed Ayr Utd and won a Scottish Cup with Killie. My ex team mates son is one of the best talents we have in our youth system. I am not saying I know everything but I do hear stuff that is credible.

21 Apr 2024 06:06:42
Otterspocket I was the same I wanted him at that stage too but relatively risk free at that type of fee but the fees hearts reportedly wanted for him i wouldn't be shelling out that type of figures, I feel it waa too much.

21 Apr 2024 06:39:26
Otterspocket, out of a matter of interest mate, do you know the possible fee involved for shankland have you heard what the fee is likely to be 🤔.

21 Apr 2024 07:07:57
Otters/ GJD - Was of same opinion when he was at Ayr and many of my Gers supporting mates were the same at that time and wanted us to give him a go then - football snobbery got in way - our lower leagues have given Scotland some great talent over the years - hopefully we get back to a stage of signing good Scottish talent in its youth and get some identity back too.

21 Apr 2024 08:19:52
Lawrence Shankland would definitely have made a big difference especially on the domestic front same way kris Boyd done first time around.

21 Apr 2024 08:35:13
SWS no the conversation didn’t include the price. Think the figure branded about in January was 3 or 4 million. Personally I wouldn’t mind Shankland and Miovski but really unlikely.

21 Apr 2024 08:58:55
What kind of trading model do we want? Shankland McBurnie McNair, all probs looking for their last big contract and NO sell on value?
I hope PC has better younger cheaper targets in line.

21 Apr 2024 09:16:40
How do you know danilo will be a dud?!?!?!?! He hasn't a decent run to prove himself and what he has had he has proven to be more effective in front of goal than dessers.

21 Apr 2024 09:17:00
I’m not Shanklands biggest fan, nor do I think he will take us to the next level. HOWEVER, recent weeks have shown that we can get the ball in the 6 yard box and Dessers cannot put it in the net the way Shankland can. We would be top of the league with Shankland instead of Dessers.

21 Apr 2024 09:46:58
My issue bar72 is our trading model selling Patterson and Bassey did nothing stopping us losing maybe 3 champions league direct entry. We should be selling raskin, hagi, McCausland and Cantwell for profits. As well as Butland. Promote Rice etc but we don’t or won’t. Makes business sense. We want to keep a 32 year old right back at the expense of a 24 year old, because he scores more than our forward line. Shankland gives us something different and takes penalties.

Our trading model doesn’t mean every player we bring in has to have a sell on value increase, if so we have a major issue. We have spent and are about to spend millions on projects that have and will increase our revenue for ffp. However the club is built on traditions and has been built on success. I am old enough to have seen a lot and the swings and roundabouts that football brings. However in the last 7 years we have won the equivalent of a treble, a treble. We are not a European heavy weight, we don’t have a mentality of you don’t win nothing but great European nights. 2 horse race in Scotland and we are second. Been patient and waiting on the success that our board said would be delivered, well that’s run out.

21 Apr 2024 10:30:32
Seems to be little or no chance of us taking any chances of promoting youth, baffles me and by the looks if it we'll lose nsio, lovelace, rice and yfeko, maybe more, Barcelona played a 17yr old the other night, totally different level, the boy done well, yes Barcelona gt beaten, but a 17 Yr old in an ECL 1/ 4 final, n we very rarely play youth in our first team in the SPL or Cup, no real incentive for them to stay, or am I missing something?

21 Apr 2024 10:32:34
Bar72, it is ok having a trading model if you have already developed the strategy and you have the players coming through to fill the gaps when a quality player is sold. We don't have that.
You also need a Board of Directors that have the investment potential to dig deep initially and when the need arises.
Under King's direction and prior to Wilson coming on board as DoF our prime objective was to get back to having a team capable of winning the league. (I'm not saying that King was the Messiah, far from it, but that was his plan) .
When Parks took over he was to all intent a dictator and he did little to take the Club forward. The appointment of Wilson was objectively to maximise income from the sale of players but they were never replaced with better quality and our youth system remained as not fit for purpose. Our CEO at the time was not commercial and just one of Parks' lackys.
We should be thankful to those that saved the Club in our time of need, and the supporters were no small part of that, however we need to move on. We need fresh money and fresh faces in the Boardroom. It is there, the problem is getting rid of those that add nothing, don't have the investment or are not willing to invest that are only there for the club tie and the blazer.

21 Apr 2024 10:54:20
Windy and Berkshire, I agree with both of you and for me the rebuild should have started after '55', 2 or 3 good young signings every window, replacing the deadwood, instead of rushing to loans, freebies and hanging onto players well past their sell by date, was and is a big mistake. As is signing players with no sellon, and big wages, again puts us on the back foot.
I don't think we will ever have the money for a mega rebuild so we need to buy smart, and young, and hopefully sell on for a profit.

21 Apr 2024 11:29:12
If we get Shankland on a free then it's a no brainer. Forgot trying to negotiate with Hearts. They'll want stupid money.

21 Apr 2024 11:34:16
Wonder how many on here who don't want Shankland didn't think Boyd was good enough? We don't need a heedless chicken running about up top on his own in the spfl we need a proper goalscorer like Shankland.

21 Apr 2024 12:46:05
The thing is we don't know how a player will be for us until he gets here (if he ever does) . Same ones saying shankland would win us the league, shankland will score for fun, it's same ones who said cifuentes is a baller raskin will run riot who will make us millions.

21 Apr 2024 13:20:53
Nope. I never said that. Shankland is a penalty box player and at times we need that. Not looking for pace but a threat, cause CH issues etc. An addition not the overall solution.

21 Apr 2024 13:29:40
The people that loved Frankenstein Cosgrove want Shankland, we need strength and genuine pace . People can laugh at McBurnie and Che Adams but no club at the level they are at will ever go for Shankland, or clubs like Dykes is playing at for that matter .

The manager will find the right players and that big lump ain't one of them, no chance.

21 Apr 2024 13:31:08
Shankland won’t be free.

21 Apr 2024 17:27:17
On todays showing I think I would rather have dessers.

21 Apr 2024 18:16:48
He really schooled Dessers today eh. Away with the absolute nonsense about Shankland. He will never play for us.

21 Apr 2024 19:58:05
Fellow bears. From a very good source, the reason Shankland has not signed for us in this current season is he has a clause in his contract which states he can NOT be sold to another team in the SPFL during his contractual agreement 👍🏾. Until he has 6 months left and contractually allowed to speak with other clubs in the SPFL he will be a Hearts player or going elsewhere in Europe.

21 Apr 2024 20:22:16
Was told today that Clemente did not pursue Shankland in January and won’t be looking at him in the summer. To put it simply, he thinks he’s too slow.

This came from the player himself.

21 apr 2024 21:16:48
kingandukster, there's truly nothing more nonsensical than someone saying

“ the same peo0le who said this are the same people who said that”

utter nonsense, how on earth do you know its the same people, so you think the thousands who wanted shanks are the sam3 thousands that dudnt want such n such.

22 Apr 2024 08:00:17
I very much doubt we will sign shankland as I said before recruitment will look pretty stupid if they turn nose up twice then go in with player at a higher value than other two opportunities to sign him.

English leagues for shankland I think.

22 Apr 2024 12:39:40
Leerc78 its just my opinion. He misses sitters like dessers but without the physicality. Re danilo.

23 Apr 2024 16:56:46
Dessers physicality not that great to be fair.
