18 May 2018 22:09:33
Theres lots of people on here, hearing this and hearing that but the big question is, do you hear Laurel or Yanny?



18 May 2018 22:37:24
Twas Yanny for me.



18 May 2018 23:03:14
The only one I've heard was a sex noise screamer



18 May 2018 23:06:10
Defo yanny mate



18 May 2018 23:31:20
Laurel



19 May 2018 01:16:23
Aye but did us hear Brendon or Brenda or did use hear Lennon or Fanny



19 May 2018 07:54:50
Yeah eye i heard



18 May 2018 22:04:00
Rangers have agreed a £2.5 million transfer for Martin Skrtel on a 2 year deal subject to him passing a medical.
#55
#letsgo



18 May 2018 22:21:52
Skrtel is an excellent defender and exactly what we need although I'm surprised we're paying so much for someone of his age since there will be no sell value.

Still, if he stabilizes our defence enough for the next couple of seasons to give us a chance to build and bring players through then it's money well paid as our defence has been absolutely hopeless.



18 May 2018 22:28:26
I don't normally sware but what a lot of pish. Where did you here that nonsense from. Its all paper talk, season ticket enhancement talk. i'm not disagreeing there has been rumours about all those high profile players but until they're paraded at Ibrox in a Rangers shirt then ill be convinced.



18 May 2018 22:43:55
Hope this is true colster but I must admit I want a younger calibre of player pursued as well, I certainly see that MS is an upgrade on bates/ Martin but we should be filling our side with young vibrant footballers who will be guided by a young vibrant manager. Hopefully a sprinkling of potential to come in the next few weeks! #lets go



18 May 2018 23:04:14
According to?



18 May 2018 23:31:37
No they havent



19 May 2018 00:47:34
2.7m deal to be announced next week for Skrtel. Terms on a 2 or 3 year deal expected to be completed without any issues subject to medical.



19 May 2018 01:18:02
A world class defender with at least 2 yrs 2.5m is cheap



19 May 2018 01:45:20
Goalie, season ticket enhancement talk? What’s that?

You don’t need to make things up to sell season books at Glasgow Rangers. We sold 90% of them playing plumbers and electricians with Kevin Kyle up front and Edson Cribari at the back.



19 May 2018 02:51:53
Bearmode91. You don't understand paper talk to enhance season ticket sales? Oh dear. Its not that complicated.



19 May 2018 07:03:25
Goalie, its no wonder you don't normally swear ye cannot even spell it!



19 May 2018 08:03:28
Seen the same rumour on another one of the rangers sites that skrtel to sign on a 2 year deal for 2.5 million subject to a medical how true it is, is anyone's guess but if it is true its a big step up from what we have at the minute hopefully bring in at least one centre half in their early to mid 20's so they have a chance to develop and have a bit of sell on value as I think we need a good blend of experience and youth throughout the team



19 May 2018 08:50:11
Wee Bear we aren't in a position to muck about with young, inexperienced guys. We need guys like him to win the league either next season or the one after that.
Goalie this has come from the same source who broke Gerrard 4 weeks before it happened and has been correct about a lot of other signings before published in the media. So away back under the duvet!



18 May 2018 21:56:21
Rhymes till you get to Liverpool then falls on its rear



18 May 2018 21:55:20
Martin Skrtel fee agreed



18 May 2018 21:52:46
Lennon prob wants Halliday for a gimp. Would be Hallidays worse nightmare I imagine



19 May 2018 01:38:32
I can't unsee that. Top patter



18 May 2018 21:40:30
No major transfers will be made until we know if we make it into the Europa League group stages, then all future income from that tournament will be spent "net" on certain players. So everyone on here shouting for Lucas, Skrtel and Solanke are a long way off. We will be signing players right up until the end of August if we get into the group stages.



18 May 2018 22:04:47
wrong! 😂😂😂😂



18 May 2018 22:25:38
I'd expect there to be two budgets available, one if we make it to group stages and one if we don't otherwise there will just be one higher budget gambling on qualification and having to suck up the loss if we end up not qualifying.

It takes time to approach and bring in players, leaving it to the last minute drives up prices and makes it more difficult for us.



18 May 2018 23:03:22
Doesn't sound right. We're not going to get to group stage without new players



18 May 2018 23:07:41
Europa doesn't pay that much. Like the equivalent of 1 champions league game for the while of the group stage.



19 May 2018 01:05:27
The budget is set to win the league as soon as possible and get back into the champions league in order to make some real money



19 May 2018 02:26:16
Let the penny drop we have been missing and moaning about it for years



18 May 2018 21:27:39
He conquered all of Europe
And he's never going to stop

From Germany to Turkey
He won the ****ing lot

His name is Stevie Gerrard
His assistant Gary Mac

He's the manager of Rangers
And he comes from Liverpool

Allez Allez Allez
Allez Allez Allez.



18 May 2018 22:02:10
He conquered all of Europe
And he's came to Glasgow toon

He’s came to bitch slap Brenda
And pummel wee Scott Broom

His name is Stevie Gerrard
His assistant Gary Mac

He's the manager of Rangers
And the titles coming back



18 May 2018 21:20:40
Morelos has the worst body fat % at the club. If he doesn't sort it over pre season and improve his attitude SG will look to sell him asap.



18 May 2018 21:59:08
Wow what is this Victoria's angels . have you seen the amount of pies kris the pieman Boyd eats a season and he was top scorer was he not . Morelos body fat helps him knock boyata oot the road



18 May 2018 22:49:41
Hahaha, that’s the problem with stats they never back up reality, if so kris Boyd would never be the best striker in our piss poor league this season. Anyway Morelos is not bad at all for a paltry £1M he will improve with the benefit of a rest this summer and I expect him to be back up next season however I would not write of El Buffelo yet!



18 May 2018 23:22:43
Scotty123 - maybe we should of accepted the 11 million for Morelos. LOL. More lies from our trusted board 0



19 May 2018 01:44:36
Boyd can finish a half pie without blinking. At 60 he will still get a golden boot in a 5's leauge. The buffalo can't finish a half chance.



18 May 2018 18:27:07
Evening All,

On Cummings and perhaps some others, I like the lad and think he has a future. Our style of play, dictated by the player we have, does not suit him. So looking forward to next season I don't think we can expect our team to look and play the same as the last two seasons. We should have a solid defense and midfield. We will play higher up and not on the breakso much against all teams and not be bullied ever again. Our deliveries into the box will be better (couldnt get worse) . So perhaps next season is the ideal time for Cumdog to stand up and be counted. The guy would chip the goalie on a penalty in the champions league final . So bears, time to hit the reset button, our team/ style/ mindset will be different next year so some players might flourish or indeed fail in the our new era. I suppose we might get more form Jamie if he knows there is a wall of steel behind him. what's your thoughts. ATB.



18 May 2018 20:17:54
Think our style will change. Probably a high pressing possession based game but who knows, just have to wait and see how he sets up



18 May 2018 21:31:36
Steven Gerrard has already stated that he wants his newlook rangers team, to adopt the same style, that jurgen klopp has his liverpool team playing! The very high pressing attacking football! It will be a very swashbuckling style that should be very pleasing on the eye!



18 May 2018 22:53:40
I hope Stevie G implements his own unique style on the team not restricted by any manger who he has played under but that shaped his own views on how the game should be played and how success can be achieved. I also hope their is space for any outstanding young players on our books to be given a chance under his stewardship that has been sorely lacking in recent appointments! #letsgo



18 May 2018 23:09:40
Warburtons was pleasing on the eye until everybody knew what to expect and changed to suit



18 May 2018 16:20:24
Seems to me that too many Rangers fans aren't happy with any signing unless they cost millions, regardless of the quality of the player.
Murphy had no quality around him last season, and Morelos needs a confidence boost. SG can provide both the support required in management and in recruitment.



18 May 2018 17:06:12
Ohhh no mate. since SG has become manager this place has been inundated with the unwashed.



18 May 2018 17:36:09
Well said bud people on here need to chill and realise there will be players from last season still with the club Steve g is not going to let all them go and if it was the other way round and Murphy and Cummings where leaving but what we will do is give Pena Herrera and cardoso new deals think about it bears and let's get ready for next season with big expectations



18 May 2018 16:06:47
Hello fellow bears, just back from my hols. Been catching up with all the news and it feels like 1986. It's back to the future.

The other two teams finishing higher in the league for 8 long years then 💥, a wee double and league dominance for the years ahead. If SG can do anywhere near as good as GS when he came in then it's going to be a great year ahead.



18 May 2018 15:32:48
I asked about buying strips the other day. I've heard we can't buy anything until puma is gone. People are saying August/ September. The team can wear it in europa league.



18 May 2018 16:52:45
Sounds like you've been getting your info from Celtic fans



18 May 2018 17:08:19
No afellow gers fan. I then looked up internet and looked at the sun and there is dialogue between rangers liaison staff on Twitter and our fans and he doesn't give much away but is very cagey. If it is later why doesn't the club just come out and say it.



18 May 2018 17:10:25
the team will wear the new strip for the Europa cup 1st qualifying round which starts on the 12th of July no less. Hopefully we’re drawn against Linfield if possible lol. As for when the strip is available to the fans I’m led to believe it will be a couple weeks after the first qualifying round 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧



18 May 2018 19:32:04
End of July strips will be on sale first we get to see them is europa qualifiers. My source a client of mine who works closely with not just rangers but top clubs all over he has been in some new super football academy in dubai. Is a sport scientist and works closely with youngsters like Ross mcrorie and is best pals with kris boyd John Collins to name a few won't name the guy but this is fact he's got me a few signed shirts for my kids and has told me strips be put on sale during July



18 May 2018 20:57:48
Why so late then Elbuffalo?



19 May 2018 08:37:00
Broxi17 Linfield won't be in Europe next season. 12th of July tie against Coleraine at Ibrox will have to do. Wouldn't be able to have the away leg first- there's always a huge 12th parade in Coleraine 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧



18 May 2018 14:20:14
Just seen big Clint Hill has officially retired. One of the few highlights in an otherwise poor season. What he lacked in pace and technique, he certainly made up for in passion and his desire to win. Always gave 100%. Just wish we had signed him 10-15 years younger and not in the twilight of his career. Very similar signing to Ugo Ehiogu. Although his goal against the Celtic wasn't quite as spectacular, it was equally as enjoyable.



18 May 2018 18:37:45
Clint - you done yourself proud, not been with us long but you will not be forgotten. 1 year with us is worth 20 years at a lower league side - go as far as to say championship in Englandshire.



18 May 2018 20:46:07
Met the big guy at a function. Different class and had time for everybody



18 May 2018 14:00:47
I think some people live in the glory years, let's be realistic on our signings.
Happy with all the transfer business so far.
Need 3 new defenders strong midfielder and another 2 strikers of quality / loans.



18 May 2018 13:48:13
Murphy is a decent enough edition, with better players around him, he will be good for us.

Even if we sign a higher calibre player for his position, at least we then have a strong bench too.

Some folk are never happy, who you sign. In his 4 months he’s shown well with assists and if Morelos could finish, he would’ve hit double figures.

Cummings the same, no doubt his desire and work rate, will hopefully prosper, with quality service and a decent run of game. If we sign him.

Onwards bears



18 May 2018 19:42:18
Morelos hit double figures though



18 May 2018 12:36:19
Murphy signed a 3yr deal glad he's signed if we cannot him and John playing the same way as Tav and candypants then both wings are going to provide a decent return on goals and assists play arfield in the hole and we're looking good time for decent defenders 3 cb and a proper decent striker and a few good loan deals and then wait to see what they mhanks do and react accordingly.



18 May 2018 12:28:44
That's Murphy all signed and sealed on a 3yr deal. I really do think he's a cracking player, I know he wasn't great in the old firm games but I feel that was down to how little of the ball he was getting.
He's the sort of player that needs peppered with the ball and then he gets himself going. Goes past players like they're not there and wld def hope that his performances will just get better and better.



18 May 2018 12:38:19
Wouldn't have bothered not good enough



18 May 2018 13:23:33
Good player who’ll go from strength to strength!



18 May 2018 14:30:11
Lucky for us tjay your opinion doesn’t really matter. The only one that matters is Mr Gerrards 😬



18 May 2018 10:25:56
France must have some squad if they can afford to leave out a 60 million quid striker.



18 May 2018 11:22:59
Yes same as Columbia, who you would think are easier to get a place in, have left a £15m rated striker at ibrox too



18 May 2018 11:44:38
To be fair they have got some squad mate.



18 May 2018 12:44:51
And how have scotland not qualified when there 2nd best left back is worth 30 million



18 May 2018 09:42:17
Jason has bags of talent a reckon with good coaching and a scousers arm around him he will shine he has only made a handfull of starts and some of his play has been excellent it takes players time to bed in and he has only been with us a short period of time and there has been so much turmoil at the club of late new players better pedigree a good pre season play to the boys strength and he will bang them in and coach his weakness no players start the finished article.



18 May 2018 11:45:21
Not sure about his footballing intelligence. He could be gold or he could be a disaster. 50/ 50 for me.



18 May 2018 12:24:10
Decent squad player. But a big step up from the current squad players we have Herrera o'halloran etc



18 May 2018 12:52:33
Id see holt away. great work rate but I don't think he's technically good enough and can sometimes get dominated in midfield. Would wish him all the best though as always gives 100%



18 May 2018 09:27:45
Cumdog if he signs a perm deal will be a top signing under stevie g.



18 May 2018 15:00:08
I wish we signed Cumdog years ago!

. What the heck is a Cumdog? I'm not sure I even want the answer to that.



18 May 2018 06:55:48
If we can't afford to offer Bates £7500 a week when there is a genuine possibility that he might become a decent defender with an actual sale value then what hope have we got of signing late career players on £50000 a week with no resale value. The lure of playing for Stevie g won't make up for a £30000 a week loss. There is no lure of champions league football or guaranteed silverware to cushion the blow either. What we should be hoping for is being linked with young players that you have never heard of who come in do a job and then we sell them on. Iam sure every fan is sick of hearing 'the wages are a stumbling block' get Your Andy Robertson's at a young age. We need to take a chance. Iam sure we would have been more attractive than hull. My source says we are fundamentally flawed with our recruitment strategy. Apart from cumdog and Morales not one signing this season has a resale value.



18 May 2018 07:21:38
No one said we couldn’t afford it, we weren’t willing to meet his demands, bit of difference in that.



18 May 2018 08:20:01
Bates is nowhere near good enough. Looked ok because the rest of our defenders were horrendous



18 May 2018 08:23:19
Bates is very average Ausbear. He will get found out in Germany. He’s not the answer, we need stronger defenders to compete than him sir!



18 May 2018 08:24:42
I'm ok with 2 or 3 experience players, but don't want to be spending our budget on them.

Keep the majority of budget for the players who are on their way up with future value.



18 May 2018 10:26:30
Bates did not deserve 7500 a week



18 May 2018 10:45:06
Hamburg offered hin 10k a week. Simply put Rangers didn't value him anywhere near that just now. Better to let him leave and usr those wages for another player.



18 May 2018 10:47:03
If bates was Italian or Spanish we’d be saying he’s the best thing since sliced bread but because he came from Raith Rovers he’ll alwats be average or not you’d enough. He was brilliant at defending. how hard is it to get a solid no nonsense defender. every defender these days thinks he’s Madini. we won’t sign a defender better than him this season.



18 May 2018 12:15:50
I grant you that david bates was an old fashioned, no nonsense, decent centre half, but common hollow55,to say we won't sign a better centre half than him, this summer is ludicrous mate! Martin skrtel is streets ahead of bates! So is the stoke city captain, ryan shawcross, who gerrard is also linked to! Think mate before coming away with statements like that!



18 May 2018 12:25:59
Won't sign a better CB than Bates? Contender for most outrageous post of the year there



18 May 2018 13:26:31
Come on to **** Supercooper, do you honestly think we’re getting Skrtel? We’re looking at a guy who can’t get a game at Brighton and a guy from Plymouth! Don’t believe all this Lucis and Skrtel talk mate, only being mentioned to sell season tickets and papers!



18 May 2018 14:30:50
I honestly do believe were getting Skrtel hollow55. And with regards to the guy who can't get a game for Brighton the consensus amongst the Brighton fans is that he should be getting a game for them and that we can't afford him. Was reading the comment sections on an article about the transfer on a Brighton newspaper



18 May 2018 14:47:37
I read the same article and commments which were mostly directed at the standard of Scottish football. Bottom line he doesn’t get a game and gas only played 40+ games in 3 years. That is honestly our standard just now, him or people who used to be good. I think Skrtel would be great however being a friend of Stevie G isn’t worth dropping £30k a week.



Review Of The Day 18th May 2018

18 May 2018 06:23:04
{Ed's Note - Ed001 has posted a new article entitled, Review Of The Day 18th May 2018



17 May 2018 23:37:05
My personal opinion would be to try get rid of the following players if anyone would take them
Foderingham
Alves
Cardoso
Hodgson
Halliday
Holt
Windass
Herrera
O'Halloran has
Pena
dodoo

Send back the loans dalcio and Martin

And I'm on the fence about Wallace and Morelos

What's your thoughts fellow bears.



18 May 2018 05:24:14
Sick of seeing lists of who we should/ shouldn't keep, end of the day it's not up to us, so let the new gaffer get his foot in the door. That's my thoughts mate.



18 May 2018 06:31:44
Dalcio’s already away back to his parent club



18 May 2018 07:15:49
Wouldn't argue with that list but I think some will shift easier than others (Windass, Fode ring ham and probably Holt) Would also add Harry Forrester to that list



18 May 2018 14:08:37
Agree with post not our place to make up lists of who to get shot of. Leave to SG and team. Don't understand desire to get rid of Harry Forester. Good player massive sell on value.
