2nd bid knocked back for Dorrans surly we know how much they want we need to get this one over the line



14 Jun 2017 04:39:21
If they want rid and he want to only come here we will just be trying to get him as cheap as possible probably.



13 Jun 2017 22:44:26
I understand the first round of europa league qualifiers are 29th June. Do we not join in the second round?



{Ed039's Note - no, first round)

14 Jun 2017 09:20:28
Ok thanks Ed



{Ed039's Note - 👍)

14 Jun 2017 11:45:51
The draw is on Monday



13 Jun 2017 20:28:59
Supposedly Hull to bid 500k for Windass. I'd bite their hand of at that.



14 Jun 2017 10:43:24
In myopinion Windass could prove to be a valuable squad player this season -



13 Jun 2017 20:27:53
According to the sun hull are looking at windass for £500,000 i would snap their hand off for half a mill . decent profit for a player who has done heehaw.



13 Jun 2017 21:44:24
Think we will get any other players in after the Mexicans and Dorans that will take us to 9 players but Pedro said he wants more aggressive left backs and right backs who can run up and down the park all game if we get 2 more players in those positions then it's a full new team we will have bar Wes in goals things are looking up



13 Jun 2017 22:57:39
Running up and down the park is what wallace is good at. It was his defensive performances that were lacking last season.



13 Jun 2017 21:38:11
Josh Windass has real potential! In his first game of the season against Celtic he had shown some promise and real tenacity Still fairly young I think we should hold off for 1m for him plus 10-15% add ons

If we are getting just 500k for him then any sell on fee we should claim 20% from it



13 Jun 2017 22:59:39
Yeah but in that game you mention he crashed and burned pretty quickly looked good for around 20-30 mins then fell out the game. As for the rest of the games he played we was very average and only scoring 1 goal all season was embarrassing



13 Jun 2017 19:21:50
Anyone else wondering where all this money has come from. I honestly thought we would need to free up 7 players to get 7 in and even then be free, loans or under 500k. Don't get me wrong it's been great having back pages filled with Us signing players and so badly needed. After where we ended up I am paranoid we live within our means. Think we will be a solid 2nd this year with less than 10points off tic and really challenge for 1st next year with a good team well drilled hope I'm wrong and hit the ground running and shock everyone



13 Jun 2017 21:53:50
If these foreign guy settle in quickly there no reason why we can not challenge Celtic all the way next season if you look at it player for player think we should be matching them all the way. The work the bored and Pedro have done so far has been fantastic so it all now depends if Pedro can get them to play as a team and get them to Jel if that happens we will right on them imo.



13 Jun 2017 22:11:34
The way I'm seeing it is that (as per King's statement after the Warburton resignation), the board had a plan not to overspend, they gave Warbs more money than they had budgeted for and he blew it, also brought in the highest earner who he couldn't control. however, this is the boards third season in charge, therefore that's 3 seasons worth of season ticket money. now there's no way they had given warburton anywhere near even half of the season ticket money for his two seasons. Appears that the board have maybe saved the previous two seasons and planned to use more in the 2nd season back after we settled, or they may have just not trusted Warburton with the money and did not shell out last season.

Just what I'm seeing. I think the board have dealt with the finances very well considering the contacts the precious regime left us with.



{Ed039's Note - I think if there was any spare money from previous2 seasons it would have shown in the accounts, I think all season money is being spent and they are either confident of a fair and flawless retail agreement happening or any short fall will be funded by soft loans from investors again)

13 Jun 2017 20:23:36
Season ticket money that's were its coming from



14 Jun 2017 16:33:35
"Why doesn't the board spend money? Where's King's £30million? "
Board spends money.
"Where's all this money coming from? "
You can't win with our fans.



13 Jun 2017 18:22:07
Percy and Nani. don't make me explain!



13 Jun 2017 15:50:52
Watched afew vids of merelos and he definitely looks the part. Looks more determined to stay on his feet and score than go down which would be handy in the spl. It's not often you find players with that desire these days so he could be an asset to us and sell him for a fortune in two or three years. I think I speak for most us of that we don't know a lot about the new boys coming in but when you here the noise coming out of some of the club's that are selling to us it can only be good. I still think the league next season is too far away for now but stranger things have happened. Let's just get behind pedro and team and roar them to the title! Here's hoping anyway!



13 Jun 2017
New image uploaded to the
Rangers Player Sightings page entitled, Nani has signed! :)



13 Jun 2017 17:00:17
Lol if that's true his head would way him down a bit but I'd love that to happen but wages would be crazy for Nani.



13 Jun 2017 13:23:01
Having watched a bit of video of Morelos I noticed 2 things.

1: The level of play in Finland is probably worse than SPL, particularly the keeping so I doubt he'll score quite as many here.

2: He seems to play in from the right a lot similar to Waggy.

I was therefore thinking with our signings Pedro may go a 4-2-3-1. E. g.

Tav Alves Cardoso Wallace

Dorrans Jack

Morelos Pena Dalcio

Herrera.



13 Jun 2017 13:37:36
Morelos has to be a striker



13 Jun 2017 13:46:58
"The level of play is probably worse than SPL". with the exception to that of Celtic, no other Scottish club has got as far as any Finnish team has in Europe for the past 5 years. If anything it is slightly better than the SPL.



13 Jun 2017 14:59:17
Only going by some of the video footage I have seen OnlyShow.
The keepers fumbled time and again and defences weren't the best.



13 Jun 2017 15:12:24
happy with that team except i think ;

candeias will start ahead of dalcio and
agree morelos will play as an out and out striker

wld take jamie walker in a heartbeat



13 Jun 2017 15:54:03
Morelos looks like a player with an eye for goal. He has my full backing.



13 Jun 2017 17:38:48
He has my full backing also and I hope he goes on to score a barrel full. Just worried he is getting over-hyped and will get a hard time if he doesn't get 40 in his first season.



13 Jun 2017 17:55:25
He'll be delighted he has your full backing!



13 Jun 2017 18:20:16
Will settle for 30.



13 Jun 2017 13:05:19
Here's one fellow Teds,

If McKay is stalling on a new deal and is keen to leave.

Would you take the £2-3 million and buy the unsettled Jamie Walker?

Arguably Walker very bit as good if not better?



{Ed039's Note - what £2-3m? The figure being put around for him is £750k-£1m)

13 Jun 2017 13:27:32
Jorge, who is going to pay that for McKay on the back of last seasons performances, I'll tell you probably NO ONE



13 Jun 2017 12:54:11
Bears. Would we be willing to pay a player between 2-3m a year? It seems that we do have money how much I don't know and we've already spent 8-9m.
I can't see Nani coming but I CAN see Caixinha enquiring! So does this mean we would really pay that sort of wage?
If so then it seems Pedro knows exactly what he thinks a player is worth a week and its not that we can't afford Weiss but Pedro feels its too much not the Club.
AGAIN THO another story about Nani! .



13 Jun 2017 13:00:49
Andy your posts are the only place that mentions nani and us I think your talking out your nani



13 Jun 2017 14:38:17
Forget about Nani. The only reason the stupid media are saying his name is because he's Portuguese. Plus it would be ridiculous to shell out those wages even if we could because what happens if he gets a bad injury? It's ok for teams that have money to blow but we don't



13 Jun 2017 16:41:20
Just passing on what I read on that HITC page!



13 Jun 2017 11:09:10
Dorrans deal so close now, for me signing of the summer. Even if a so called big name comes in, nothing will beat Dorrans coming in. Done by end of week by all accounts!



13 Jun 2017 11:49:36
Think alves has to be the signing of the summer tbh



13 Jun 2017 12:16:58
As far as signings go Alves is a well known player and that and Dorrans is class but I think Pena will be a monster. Need to give him time tho



13 Jun 2017 10:56:36
quiet so far in signing players.



13 Jun 2017 12:37:11
Quiet? We have brought 5 in already with 3 waiting on paperwork if that's quiet i would hate to see us busy in the market 😂😂



13 Jun 2017 12:48:53
Can't wait to see Broonie vs Pena in the first Old Firm match! lol. Alves vs Dembele could be tasty too.



13 Jun 2017 13:41:39
I mean quiet so far today



13 Jun 2017 10:06:26
Nothing about the colombian lad signing. Wonder if RFC are angry at him talking to the press b4 signing.



13 Jun 2017 10:50:11
His Medical was Yesterday. So should be announced today. He's a silly boy for talking to the press, however said all the right things.



13 Jun 2017 10:54:25
need to wait for his work permit to be done to sign for us



13 Jun 2017 09:50:29
Pedro is signing mainly foreigners but could that also be down to Scottish clubs reluctance to sell to Rangers. No real progress was made on the two Motherwell players and Hibs refusal to sell Scott Allan is well documented. Ryan Jack from Aberdeen signed on a freedom of contract.



13 Jun 2017 11:12:24
We were linked to everyone as the press were clutching at straws if you think the boys from motherwell were Pedro's first choice over alves, cardboard, herrera and Morelos you are crazy I'm glad we are signing forgien as the standard of spfl player is cack



13 Jun 2017 11:51:02
Well said Gary 75 spot on



13 Jun 2017 09:12:49
I wish certain news/ blogs would refrain from Putting a ton of pressure on our soon to be "Wonderkid" coming in as if he gets off to a slow start there will be no where for him to hide from it. But I suppose he'll be fine as Zlatan n Nani will help him out. ✋😂🇬🇧



13 Jun 2017 03:43:31
STILL! Articles talking about Nani and Ibrox being a destination! Then at bottom of the article there was another link regarding Nani this time possibly heading to the mob from East End?
Theres no chance we could afford him! Dunno how much he's on at Valencia i'd reckon anything between 60-80k a week.
And I doubt they would pay that across the city.
Nani must be looking for a move tho and every big Club will be getting mentioned.
The article was on 4th official and very recent too. Its just beyond me as to why these stories get out.



13 Jun 2017 10:33:13
I take it you have never heard of click Bates Andy?
