Lille have plenty money, . Ikone heading to Dortmund 35 million, lad to Napoli around 60 million.

26 Jul 2020 23:46:04
John they could have 200m it won’t matter we’ll still sell him on the cheap.

27 Jul 2020 03:15:19
no alloa this method is well posted. they have their valuation and if not he kicks the ball against the sheep.

27 Jul 2020 07:05:34
No we won’t Define cheap. Any more than 15 good.

27 Jul 2020 08:35:27
West of Scotland attitude.

26 Jul 2020 22:23:52
@DK19

Your right mate - other mob will be laughing at everyone on here obviously including myself in this post

There is some who want Alfie to stay some of us think we will be better off without

But your right end of day we're all Rangers fans

I'll be the first to apologise to anyone I offended over the last 24 hours I'm sorry but Morelos ripping off the arm band and stomping away up the tunnel Sent the red mist over me - just thinking at such a crucial year we need every player ready to play at there absolute best and give there all to the team around them

We have done very well over preseason and I'm sure we all want the team to keep it up throughout the season starting at Aberdeen

I want every player ready and focused and stay on the pitch unless it's no fault of there own

And like I said previously if we can at the very least take the league to the wire Gerrard and the team the club can be very proud and so can we as fans

So again apologies if I've offended anyone
😉

Let's go get the sheep so too speak 😂😊.

26 Jul 2020 22:45:14
Stigno. How often do u go to games.

26 Jul 2020 22:51:04
I have been very impressed with the mighty gets in pre season especially Hagi and Aribo. I think this will be the season that we see the best out of Aribo.

I believe that we will win the league this year and stop that lot winning the league.

26 Jul 2020 22:58:27
John25

Not as often as I used too I’m afraid work and family commitments unfortunately

But doesn’t make me any less of a fan of or great club

I respectfully Won’t ask the same question as it really doesn’t bother me if someone is an arm chair supporter or life long season ticket holder or board Member

If your a rangers fan And want the best for the club as a whole then nothing else matters to me

Have a nice night mate

I’m off to bed 😊.

26 Jul 2020 22:58:52
Thestigno1- certainly no need to apologise, I felt exactly the same when I saw Morelos tear of his armband like a huffy wee school boy. I'm certainly not going to apologise. The guy will continue to let us down, he needs to grow up. Unfortunately there's no sign of that. Sell and move on .

26 Jul 2020 23:13:13
That’s cool stigno family always first.

27 Jul 2020 05:11:32
We've all had our 'moments' on here theinstigno1!😉.

27 Jul 2020 05:58:32
My wife says Rangers or me. So I chose Rangers and waved her goodbye lol😀.

27 Jul 2020 08:11:51
For me if he stays that’s great he scores lots of goals and his strength and tenacity creates chances from nothing. If he is sold for a proper fee of £15m then again I would be happy with that.

His recent poor form and inability to learn English, and disciplinary record are negatives but not a massive deal.
Like I said can’t deny he’s been a v good player for us but think now is maybe the right time for him to move on.

27 Jul 2020 08:16:35
Guys, we all know that Alfie has been a good goal scorer for us since he arrived, but, he certainly hasn't been of late, yes, he leads the line brilliantly, but, his main job is to hit the back of the net, he's still missing sitters. As for the armband incident, probably frustration, again he needs to start thinking more as to how his actions will be interpreted.

It looks like this transfer saga is likely to fizzle out, we need to start ignoring the rotten media in this country and just wait for our Club to inform us what's going on. Aberdeen next, they will be up for it, so will we I hope, even more so than them, Alfie's attitude has to be spot on for this one, if he's still here.

27 Jul 2020 08:36:33
Pulling off his armband because he was angry and wanted to stay on is proof he is trying and wanted to play . Unlike the views expressed of him by a lot of posters and knockers on here .

27 Jul 2020 09:03:33
Well Said Stig on both posts.

Emotions can run high but support for the club should be 100% through good times and bad.

27 Jul 2020 09:21:27
Totally with you here on this Molsgoals and said as much on the subject myself mate! 👍.

27 Jul 2020 11:27:36
I'll second that coops also posted the exact same as mols.

26 Jul 2020 20:53:33
Think morelos agent at it, trying to flush out bids from interested clubs. Reckon he is looking for a move and things not moving quick enough for him. But must admit like the players we are being linked to now better than last weeks rumours.

26 Jul 2020 21:29:42
Nail right on head, border blue.

26 Jul 2020 20:33:04
Lille offered 6million euros for morelos we now have a unhappy player if you look at there signings that's the average the pay at most.

26 Jul 2020 20:47:07
Where did u read 6m.

26 Jul 2020 20:51:45
£5.5 million - honestly?

26 Jul 2020 20:56:00
Big blue where did you see that? I ask only as the sevcoholic mad Phil 3 names says his “well placed” connection mentioned that figure.

26 Jul 2020 20:58:16
It’s been trending on some twitter feed and Facebook
5.5 million was doing the rounds

Nonsense as usual -

I’m sorry but yesterday the way he went off has tipped me over the edge with him I have loved him and loathed him but yesterday was enough for me and many there out with this forum

I don’t want him here he doesn’t want to be here


What’s too rejoice SGL? Whole things a stinking mess mate

Noise up or not with your post - it’s silly mate there is no rejoicing an unhappy player - where is your head at seriously.

26 Jul 2020 20:58:49
They paid 9m for timmy weah he's was mince at the tims, they'll pay double for freddo.

26 Jul 2020 21:28:48
That's absolute s***e talk! 💩Lille reportedly offered 15million euros last week for alfredo and rangers basically told them where to go! It was way below rangers valuation for morelos and £18million is what rangers will accept for alfredo.

26 Jul 2020 21:51:57
Something we can agree on theinstigno1!
Yes you did go over the edge last night! 😉.

27 Jul 2020 12:32:31
BBB, Rangers have stated that NO OFFER has been made for Alfie from Lille, so, sorry pal, but I will believe our Club first.

26 Jul 2020 20:27:15
Been a crazy day first alfirs off then he's not now I'm reading josh maja to enter talks from bordeau.

26 Jul 2020 20:26:56
Willie cullum school of refereeing in the English play off semi. Worst red card decision I ever saw, wasnt even a foul let alone a straight red 🙈🙈.

26 Jul 2020 19:03:26
If Morelos is away. I hope all the haters off Alfie are proved right. If not Gerrard will be following shortly. No strikers at a club. Trying to stop 10iar. It's a absolute shambles.

26 Jul 2020 19:17:27
Agree with you boo, now was not the time for him to go as this is a our biggest season for years but we aren’t in the position to knock back the money and Alfie wants to leave hopefully we can get the funds to buy 4/ 5 real good 1st team players.

26 Jul 2020 19:21:36
Dykes prob his replacement with no money from europe we still owe 5 million for kent this deal been done for days it was all to quick.

26 Jul 2020 19:24:36
Big blue bear it's total BS💩 as no deal has been done! Morelos remaining with rangers! 👍.

26 Jul 2020 19:28:54
Sgl deal will be in place in co. ing days. big blue. europa not finished but the money will be incoming around 8 mill i think. inc all are home games over a mill per game?

26 Jul 2020 20:05:30
Rangers put a £1 million bid in for dykes and livi want 2 million for him. Gerrard doesn’t rate him as much as the papers say he does he doesn’t think he is worth the money and certainly not good enough for Europe.

26 Jul 2020 20:05:33
I don't think so Paul86.I don't think alfredo morelos is going anywhere in the short term.

26 Jul 2020 20:21:55
The coop we haven’t bud for Dykes at all.

26 Jul 2020 20:28:33
Guys I am a big fan of Alfredo Morelos but it is not in Rangers best interest to keep him. He does not want to be here. His performances and attitude have been stinking since he didn't get his move in January. Why would we keep someone who is playing as badly as he has when we could potentially get upwards of 15m for him? It does not make sense.

26 Jul 2020 20:41:17
The Coop, complete and utter drivel.

26 Jul 2020 18:47:24
Now that alfredo seems to be gone, what about sturridge as a signing? Free agent, if stayed clear of injury then that's a top striker, thoughts guys.

26 Jul 2020 18:59:54
Kai rangers say no talks with Lille re Alf.

26 Jul 2020 19:01:18
Hell no and he isn’t away yet.

26 Jul 2020 19:05:46
kJ wonder what all the good riddance mob r saying now. He will go at some point.

26 Jul 2020 19:24:10
He may well go in the next few weeks but all the good riddance mob should give there head a wobble they are embarrassing.

The wee guy has been brilliant for our club yes he has had bad times but that goes for most players.

26 Jul 2020 19:28:45
Hopefully he does go John25 at some point

He doesn’t want to be here his agent is obviously trying to drum up bjds for him

And player who doesn’t want to be here is a disharmony to the rest of the team

I find it so hard to believe and to understand why you want a player who doesn’t want to wear our famous jersey And doesn’t want to be here to stay

Honestly buddy I’m stuck for words can’t quite comprehend it myself if I’m honest

I think there’s a few just at the wind up in here 😂

Probably sitting with there popcorn out and fishing line in. Hand.

26 Jul 2020 19:39:03
KJA9

(Goes For most players) what other players behave this way in rangers please explain?

26 Jul 2020 20:09:07
FFS this is becoming embarrassing- the other lot must be laughing us us with some of the comments on here.

Morelos is a top striker who has ambitions to play at the highest level = fantastic.

Barasic also wants to play at the highest level = fantastic

Nothing wrong with ambition and no one will be leaving unless the club and the manager are happy with the deal.

On one hand we say the media are against us and make up stories.

On the other hand there say Alf doesn’t want to be here and everyone believes it.

Time to wise up boys and girls and support every player whilst they are chosen to wear our shirt.

26 Jul 2020 20:12:56
Bang on John25 and KJA9 regarding morelos. The wee man will bulge the sheep's net on saturday and the morelos haters will all be on here with a rendition of "ALFREDO MORELOS, ALFREDO MORELOS, ALFREDO MORELOS"! 👍👌😁.

26 Jul 2020 20:17:09
Stig every young player who comes to scotland are using it as a stepping stone to get a move to one of the big 5 leagues. Prob not bigger clubs as rangers and celtic are obv huge clubs. But the aim for all will ultimately be england la liga etc. Fredo has never lied about that.

26 Jul 2020 20:27:55
The stig if you can actually read I says has had good times and bad are you telling me no rangers player has ever had bad times with form do I need to go thru every player for you like? Everyone of them were utter rubbish after the winter break for a start.

The only people that know fredo wants away is rangers and fredo no one on here knows for a fact he wants to leave.

26 Jul 2020 20:32:08
Correct DK too many haters on here of a player that’s still at our club.
They are a couple of players I don’t like and may moan about them but still get behind them every game.

26 Jul 2020 21:35:41
Why get behind someone who has shown he doesn’t want. To be here And rightly as you say KJA9 he hasn’t lied about it it’s just being here longer than he wanted or expected that’s been the undoing of him for me

I’ll leave all other players out if it

It’s Morelos attitude at the minute I for one doesn’t like and that’s why I’m saying it as I see fit

I’m sorry if you don’t like it or it upsets you or anybody else

His attitude upsets me and I’m so fed up with it

I will now be happy when he goes and I think we will be better without him as a team

And when it does happen and we can replace him with a quality striker fingers crossed then I think we will be better for it

And I hope if anything at all we take the league right to the wire

And I’ll be happy with that.

26 Jul 2020 18:34:25
It's a glass half full/ empty situation. It's probably best for all parties that Morelos moves on. He is a talent, he's tenacious but he is a bit mental. I absolutely love him when he's into it. I truly believe he thought he was going to be away in the January window. It didn't happen and he's lost his focus. Just speculating but I bet you a promise was made that if the right number came in he would be let away but that number kept climbing as Rangers holds out for more money. I think the SG sees now that there is a risk to Morelos not having his head screwed on tight as it needs to be. It's a big loss for everyone if he stays and the performances don't return.

26 Jul 2020 18:24:26
Roofes goalscoring record isn't fantastic tbh. 1 goal in every 3.3 league games at Leeds. Not for me. Nearly 28 and will cost a fair bit with no sell on value. His injury record is like Darren Andertons and Andy Carrolls. No way is Roofe a good option the more I look at it.

26 Jul 2020 19:03:06
The more am thinking is I wouldn’t be taking him as the main striker good back up but would probably cost too much to be back up.

26 Jul 2020 20:04:03
Wonder how much batshuayi is worth just now?

26 Jul 2020 17:19:38
Just so wrong we let Morelos go SG said he won't be going anywhere prob bring some rift with the board i canna remember the wee man out injured anymore 2 weeks we will miss him big time Celtic fans prob be jumping wea joy we are in worse shape squad size tha last year 4 new signings don't impress me be lucky to get to december in the league bad day for the bears i think.

26 Jul 2020 17:25:48
No point in keeping an unhappy player he’s been worse than a man short since Christmas and I don’t know how Tim’s will be happy he done hee haw against them
I’m sure sure with new funds available we’ll bring in quality.

26 Jul 2020 17:28:11
What a negative post. Obviously unsure of the sale value but a huge profit coming Rangers way. Excellent piece of business. Now it's up to Gerrard and co to bring in others. Promising and exciting times at Rangers.

26 Jul 2020 17:31:01
Including his assists morelos was involved directly with a goal 106 times out of the 136 games he played for us!

26 Jul 2020 17:48:03
The fee is supposed to be £18.25m, which is exactly the same as the fee myself and John25 heard had been lying on the table from Brighton. Seems that's our price for him.

26 Jul 2020 18:01:09
Covenanter if that’s the fee and Gerrard gets the lions share for 3 new signings I think it’s good business, I’ll miss the wee mans tenacity his hold up play was excellent and he’s a goal scorer for sure but as said above he’s not been playing well for us for a while now to still get £18m is great for the club hats off to Ross Wilson.

26 Jul 2020 18:08:11
Blue blue sea, you can bet your life on it that celtic in general their 2 centre halfs, ajer and big julliet will be glad if morelos does get sold to lille. You're perfectly correct in stating that morelos failed to score against them but he always played well against them and gave their 2 centre halfs a torrid time. I honestly to this day, don't know how he's failed to notch against them, because he did everything else but hit the net agsinst them! He mostly always hit the target against them and some of his misses were down to trying too hard and other so called misses, were down to good goalkeeping. He will be a big miss.

26 Jul 2020 18:09:23
The Covenanter, didn't realise Brighton showed an interest, that's a new 1. Still 18.25 million - superb!

26 Jul 2020 18:10:16
If you don't mind me asking the covenanter, did you read somewhere the fee is supposedly £18.25million or is it from a source of your own mate? 🤔.

26 Jul 2020 18:21:08
Not seen the fee at 18.25 anywhere seen 20 and 21 million and also seen Lille 1st offer was 11million and if we sell him for that we are off our heads.

26 Jul 2020 18:32:43
£18.25m plus sell on clause is good bit of business at this time.

26 Jul 2020 18:39:17
celtic won't be that bothered. We may sign a striker who can score v them.

26 Jul 2020 18:42:56
SGL, Regarding Morelos against Celtic- odds of him scoring against them would be a lot better if he'd stay on the pitch.

26 Jul 2020 18:54:05
Is that 20m euros? Price I got told as well if it is, our asking price is 20m euro. don't have the sources of some on here, but get the odd bit off of the boys i bus up with.

26 Jul 2020 17:02:39
Im going guess wee will get 15 million with add ons the 10% sell on fee what's everyone else guess?

26 Jul 2020 17:10:52
12 with sell on clause but won't know think it will be undisclosed.

26 Jul 2020 17:27:29
I'm thinking along the same lines as Sirwalter54.I think we'll get £15million from lille for morelos,
rising to around £17.5million in add ons which will possibly equate to goals scored, appearances etc. I also think without a doubt that we will instruct before any deal is concluded, that at least a 15% sell on clause, is inserted into alfredo's lille contract, if as i expect they would, sell buff for an even bigger transfer fee, in 2 or 3 years from now!

26 Jul 2020 16:29:59
Well Bears looks like Buff is away all the best wee man.

Now to as the two strikers coming in . Now considering Lillie are receiving £64m from Napoli for the striker I hope we get a decent price for Europe's too goal scorer and replace him with better quality that what is being branded about ie Dykes and Roofe.

26 Jul 2020 16:39:59
Mirko Maric is a name that won't go away either. Hopefully RW and SG have something lined up as we can't go to Aberdeen without a recognised striker.

26 Jul 2020 16:46:52
Mirko Maric is a good striker and would be a really good signing for us imo.

26 Jul 2020 16:50:16
Sir Struth I’ve never seen that lad Maric play but I’d take a punt on him before Dykes or Cosgrove .

Point is I hope we get decent money for El Buffalo because hate him or love him he’s a good player that scores goals. Decent money for me is the 20m bracket but I honestly think it will be 12m - 15m which for Europe’s top goal scorer is us getting bumped in my opinion.

26 Jul 2020 17:05:09
I would prefer the Croatian lad, he is mates with Barasic and Matic, would settle well, remember Dado? This lad could be just as good, would cost upward of £3.5m but that will be doable if we get £15 for Buff, fingers crossed we need a good strikeforce to take advantage of our now decent midfield. Come on Rangers get a couple of strikers in, its a big big season.

26 Jul 2020 17:09:24
I think maric would be good buy wee have had prso and jelavic now barasic all been great players for us from croatia so think maric would also be good for us.

26 Jul 2020 17:13:43
Billy we will need a bit more than £15 for fredo that’s selling ourselves a bit short there. Lol.

26 Jul 2020 14:56:02
With the impending possible departure of morelos, which pains me if true, who could realistically replace his strength, vision, work rate, goals scoring, heading? He has been for us the complete striker, many players mentioned have mainly one trait, we definitely need a tall, strong pacey player who knows where the net is, we all know the Scottish game is tough and height is needed, especially against all the park the bus teams!

26 Jul 2020 15:18:24
Daz, think of it this way - Morelos is going to make us a healthy profit. Everyone is replaceable. Be positive. I hope Gerrard gets the full sale price to spend.

26 Jul 2020 15:44:33
I hope Alf stays but looks like he's going - he has been a formidable striker for us, even with all the issues and I, for one, thank him and wish him all the best. It's not ideal to be losing our top goalscorer at this stage, and not having a replacement already settled in to the squad, but we have to be realistic re the times we are in. No doubt we need the money for him b4 we can buy the quality required to replace him; and due to pandemiç the completion of his move has probs been delayed, as clubs waited to see what was happening re return of leagues. No need for drama; we just have to deal with it and move on.

26 Jul 2020 15:49:50
Daz, the complete striker for us? A good player he has been no doubt but don’t think he is the complete striker? I reckon StevieG will be glad to see the back of him with his attitude, sendings off and also not been off the boil after the turn of the year. I say it again that the guy has wanted out for the last 18 months and I thought he would have moved to a bigger club! Complete Striker for me is Mark Hateley/ Colin Stein who were different class and winners.

26 Jul 2020 16:02:17
I'm guessing it's no coincidence that Stevie Gerrard was putting pressure on the board regarding bringing in new players yesterday before this got out.

26 Jul 2020 16:03:22
Yately I mean complete striker as he has it all, albeit not consistent enough and too hot headed, but his goals can just come from nowhere, skill, strength, pace, aerial ability aswell, I wasn't for a minute comparing him to the great men you mention.

26 Jul 2020 16:06:19
Fantastic news, completely replaceable.

26 Jul 2020 16:18:06
Daz, ✌️✌️✌️🇬🇧.

26 Jul 2020 16:21:27
Who do you fancy to replace him bluewoulddo?

26 Jul 2020 14:48:45
I think you should all give your heads a shake never in my life have I read such drivel from fans with very short memories, Installing fear into defenders with your power or forsefull buffalo type football does not make you a great striker add poor temperament--and lack of respect for a black armband amongst many other poor qualities and quite frankly ill be glad to see the back of him For me 20 million plus add ones or he stays until a club is willing to pay that and its up to him to prove he is worth it hes missing out on being a #55 legend so his loss Can anyone say Denis Law-Jim Forrest--colin stein-now there's strikers for ya and not a red card amongst them--.

26 Jul 2020 15:10:02
It won’t be 20 million.

26 Jul 2020 15:19:58
Never a great striker, never able to handle the big league games, Only plays for half a season. About time he was sold.

26 Jul 2020 15:45:28
BWD he handled the big games in Europe well 🤭.

26 Jul 2020 15:51:35
Decee, whether you rate morelos or not mate, does not give you the right to assume alfredo morelos disrespected the black arm band, in respect to the very sad death of one of our own david hagen! I'm totally against anyone no matter what colour or creed you are, disrespecting anything regarding anyone who's sadly passed away. But that's not what morelos was meaning when he pulled his black arm band off with frustration and temper and nobody on here will convince me otherwise! He was just in the zone that he was raging he was getting taken off that's what it was and i think its terrible that some of our supporters on here are stating alfredo was meaning to totally disrespect the sad passing of david hagen. Think for god's sake, before coming away with assumptions like that! For the record i think we will miss alfredo morelos and he'll go on to become a right top class striker. His record for rangers is terrific and he's the top goalscorer in the europa league 👌
Says it all decee, BlueWouldDo and whoever else who wanted rid of the buff! Be careful what you wish for guys. I know his discipline could have been better and stupidity cost him/ us at times, but think of the goals he's scored for us and the games he's won for us! He'll be a big miss as far as i'm concerned!

26 Jul 2020 16:05:15
in most European games we are the underdog. No player should last 3 years being unable to score when it really matters domestically. Dreadful deflections again.

26 Jul 2020 17:01:40
Blue would do 45 goals in 92 league games. That’s a good domestic record.

26 Jul 2020 17:04:34
Colin Stein no red cards?

26 Jul 2020 17:49:12
Blue i am sure you are green, how has be not scored in the league. apart from celtic he has scored against every other team in the league. wake up and smell the coffee.

26 Jul 2020 18:09:34
Wake up? consistently let's us down and only plays for half a season. Not good enough, need to progress.

26 Jul 2020 19:38:45
Loved Stein but he had a few red cards as did Law who was known as a right dirty b****** by those who played against him, my dad included!

26 Jul 2020 13:37:33
Like i posted yesterday and the day before be careful what you wish for morelos bashers. If this is true and alfredo morelos leaves rangers to sign for lille, we're in soapy bubbles short term! You don't miss the water'till the well runs dry and believe me morelos is a quality striker and we're going to miss him badly! He's been an outstanding striker for glasgow rangers and has every tool in his armoury to reach the very top in football. On his game alfredo is quite simply unplayable! He's also proved it in europe by being the top scorer in the europa league and still we have some of our supporters on here desperate for him to leave🤔 i just can't understand them whatsoever and looks like they've got their wish 😞 Morelos will be an outstanding for lille if he does sign for them and if he does i thank alfredo for everything and his outstanding contribution to glasgow rangers football club. I wish buff all the very best of luck with his new club and i personally will miss him!

26 Jul 2020 13:49:56
To put it in numbers! Alfredo morelos 77 goals in 137 games for rangers!

where are you hearing that he is going from SGL? if true i echo your sentiments. Believe me there is no quick solution if he has gone and i reckon our chance of stopping 10iar is slipping by the minute if this is true. Never mind our chances in making the group in EU.

26 Jul 2020 14:01:38
Interesting stat Barrowlad, so Morelos scores every other game. Roofe by comparison scores 1 in 3. Having said that we look much better equipped to share the goal load this season with Hagi, Aribo and Kent firing on all cylinders.

26 Jul 2020 14:06:39
sorry SGL reacted before i read all the other posts. sad day indeed if its true. hope we are getting more than the 15M recently valuing him and decent sell on too. i think there is already a sell on in his clause so whatever we get will be shared. really going to struggle even if we get someone in immediately how can he possibly be ready for saturday. i really am now concerned about this season. i know its early and shouldn't put everything on one persons shoulders but that's exactly what happened last season.

26 Jul 2020 14:10:13
Cracking post sg. All the bashers will be on in November or so saying we shouldbt have sold him, sack Gerrard sack the board blah blah blah.

26 Jul 2020 14:12:50
the bigger problem now is if Lille don't match rangers expectation with regards to the transfer fee is that we potentially will have Morelos who thinks he is away staying put. whilst i want him to stay he needs to want to stay and if he is set to go then this scenario will be no good for anyone.

26 Jul 2020 14:14:36
Don't know if Morelos is going or not. We'll definitely miss him if he goes.
Whatever fee we get for him, it won't all be spent on replacing him
I think we'll sign a couple of strikers if he does go.
Brewster on loan?
Vydra?
That Croatian boy, maric/ milic?

26 Jul 2020 14:15:31
Roofe scored 1 in 3 in english championsip. Higher quality sides 9 or 10 SPFL sides bankie. Hard to compare.

26 Jul 2020 14:30:54
Hasn't helped us win anything to justify missing him.

26 Jul 2020 14:19:05
SGL don't you think that the management have already got a replacement or two already lined up and are just waiting on Morelos to be sold . Off course he will be missed but who's to say that he will score 30 goals this season and also his attitude stinks. So if he is sold then good luck to the guy but if he goes for the reported £20m then sell him.

26 Jul 2020 14:21:49
Good move, was holding the team back. Need a real striker that can handle the big occasions in the league.

26 Jul 2020 14:27:22
Coop, I not bashing Alfredo, but he has been trying to get away from our club for the last 18months and to be honest I thought he would have found a better club and league.

26 Jul 2020 14:28:17
I can't believe I'm reading some of these comments here, serious question guys, ' Do you think Morelos wants to stay at Rangers', I think personally, NO, if so get what we can for him, I'm looking for a steady return from our midfield this season, appears to be happening, and let's get a replacement or two even in the door. BTW, I do rate Alfie very highly, but, a discontented Alfie would be a passenger, and that we don't need.

26 Jul 2020 14:32:15
Here here SGL

Too many bashing him and we will not replace his goals easily.

If rumours are to be true with roofe I think will be a good player for us my worry is he won’t score as many goals and that’s what we need.

26 Jul 2020 14:33:40
Paul

Joe garner also had good stats down in England doesn’t mean it will happen up here.

26 Jul 2020 14:33:54
Worrying times . a week b4 the season n it looks like wer letting our talisman go. we better no short change ourselfs . no danger well get anybody that will bully a whole defence on the cheap. if he does go al need to change the wains name 🙄🙄🤣.

26 Jul 2020 14:38:18
SGL, I don't there are to many "Morelos Bashers" on here. What I'm saying is that it would appear the lad wants away, toucan see that in his demeanor that he's unhappy, just look at him he looks miserable all the time. If that's the case then he can leave, we do not need any huffy passengers. So cash in, get a replacement or 2. Morelos is not bigger than Rangers. And before you respond, Morelos is a fantastic player but his heart isn't at Rangers. So for that reason, thanks for your service, we will replace. We will be stronger. We will win the league 20/ 21.

26 Jul 2020 14:5:37
Morelos can be a good player on his day butfor me since January he has failed to produce the goods and now looks disintetested. When he is on his game he can't control his emotions and temper and sees red cards far too often to be a team player. No doubt the opposition wind him up and he gets all sort of abuse but if we can get in excess of 10 million take it and let him go elsewhere. Unfortunately he's a ticking time bomb on the park.

26 Jul 2020 14:50:00
Very true kja. In honesty every signing is a risk never know how its going to pan out.

26 Jul 2020 15:12:25
Ar9

Every player failed to produce the goods since Dubai that’s FACT

Too many people in here blaming Morelos when in fact it was the full team.

26 Jul 2020 15:57:19
KJA9,i like/ rate roofe mate, but my only worry is he's injury prone mate!

26 Jul 2020 17:41:55
Bankie including assist morelos has been directly involved in 106 goals in 137 games! That kind of impact will be hard to replace!

26 Jul 2020 13:20:15
Surely i'm not the only one who is uninspired by the strikers we have been linked with. Kemar roofe.28 goals in almost 115 appearances for leeds doesn't strike me as a 10 in a row stopper. We need better. we deserve better imo.

26 Jul 2020 13:28:47
Roofe is a decent striker mate but he's very injury prone, that would be my only worry.

26 Jul 2020 13:33:28
I wouldn't want Roofe. I think Toney would be better. If we get the Morelos money in then we should match Celtic and Brentfords £5mill offer. Earlier in the summer Peterbrough were looking for 12million for this guy but 5mill would be doable if we get Morelos off the books for a decent fee.

26 Jul 2020 13:56:05
Charlie austin for a year. Go get vydra aswel.

26 Jul 2020 14:09:35
Charlie austin? We would be better with steve austin 😂.

26 Jul 2020 14:21:59
Toney apparently talking to Celtic so looks like that's one option down.

26 Jul 2020 14:34:43
Roofe won’t replace him for goals just can’t see it.

26 Jul 2020 13:14:04
Just got a feeling sg isn't quite happy with the funds made available so far too him, hopefully if morelos goes we get most of it if not all of it for a decent replacement and another few decent singings.

26 Jul 2020 13:05:52
Looks as if Moreles will be gone if a fee can be agreed, who is going to play up front on Sat of Dafoe is still out. Greg Stewart? Cosgrove, LOL.

26 Jul 2020 13:44:35
Cosgrove? 👎👎Aye right enough maybe stuart cosgrove, as long as its not Sam!

26 Jul 2020 13:47:28
Hoping someone new in by then? Mirko maric be ideal.

26 Jul 2020 13:57:41
Hopefully a few options. Vydra, maric, roofe, austin, get either dykes or shankland in as a 3rd choice squad player.

26 Jul 2020 13:02:18
Alfie away to Lille. Great news in my opinion. We can get money in for a player that doesn't want to be here and get a striker in this week. I rated Alfie highly but have been disappointed in his attitude since January.

26 Jul 2020 12:34:47
Having watched all the pre-season games this is my round up.

Positives- Aribo is finally in his position in the middle of the park. Been fantastic. Kent, hagi looks really good as does BB. Barker could be a wee hidden gem with his pace. Thought Goldson looks solid. Big Fridge has got great pace but needs to work on his passing. Getting better but. I like him.
Good to see Hellander back. The new keeper McLaughlin looks assured. Nice to see a couple of youngsters get a run out. 4 clean sheets now I think.

Negatives-
Our captain Tav is a HUGE weak link. Morelos looks off the pace and still no goals. Our only fit striker so I'm really worried for next Sat. His attitude after getting taken off his awful.
I'm still not sold on Kamara. Nice feet but too lightweight.
I like Docherty and would like to see him and Jones make the squad but think thier done. McCrorie and Murphy will go back on loan I reckon.

26 Jul 2020 13:02:03
I can see Docherty and McCrorie going back on loan. Think he will keep Murphy because he looked sharp in the games he has played and Kent still blows hot and cold (mostly cold) so will be good to rest him now and again.

Not sure about JJ. Think his boat has sailed tbh and might have to find a new club which is a pity because you can see it means a lot to him to be at the club.

26 Jul 2020 13:11:11
Zikos Jones to stoke. Very tidy profit for us.

26 Jul 2020 11:50:27
See a lot of paper believing everything in the papers again lol

I’ll believe when rangers or Lille confirm it not a rag that has constantly said he has been getting sold for the last 2 years.

Again the same papers people on here abuse for telling rubbish but when it’s something the want then they believe it.

26 Jul 2020 12:17:34
Its not in the papers.

26 Jul 2020 12:58:32
Twitter or anywhere in line is even worse.

26 Jul 2020 11:38:21
Guys questionable rumours doing the rounds that Alfie has agreed personal terms with Lille and they are yet to sort out a fee, now I'm no expert but I thought the fee had to be agreed between two clubs before personal terms could be discussed with the player anyone know any different? If it is true which I doubt I think we will still be ok for the Aberdeen game as we look like creating and scoring even with Morelos not in the team.

26 Jul 2020 12:24:07
Blue as far as Im. aware, the potential buying club would speak to the players agent to find out what type of finances etc they would require. If that's agreed with the buying club then, they will go to the selling club and ask how much it will take for a sale. Nothing will be signed on paper until the right moment but, if a players agent says, OK he wants £30k pw etc etc n lille in this case say OK that's fine, then they will go to the selling club. I could be wrong but I've seen this somewhere before.

26 Jul 2020 13:07:51
Think it can happen either way. Heard McInnes talking about Cosgrove transfer to France and he said that a French agent got in contact with the club and asked about his availability. The Chairman said he was willing to sell, so the French agent informed the buying club who made an offer which was eventually accepted. They then informed the player but he couldn’t agree terms.

Think the agent could easily have got in contact with Cosgrove agent first though and saved a lot of hassle.

26 Jul 2020 11:24:11
Apparently that's morelos away. Agreed a deal with lille fee still to be sorted. Sad to see the wee man go. Just hope we get a good fee for him rather than letting him go for buttons.

26 Jul 2020 12:03:28
I would expect us to get a good fee + a strong sell on Clause given that he still has a lengthy contract otherwise someone is not doing their job properly. Fee should be £15m+ with a substantial sell on clause. Ideally, all of the funds received will be used to bring in three or four quality players that will make a difference.

26 Jul 2020 12:34:16
Berkshire blue how can you expect 15 million + for a guy have the rangers fans don’t like or rate? If it was up to folk on here he would be away for a couple of ginger bottles.

26 Jul 2020 12:46:51
If its 12mil plus he'll be away👍.

26 Jul 2020 11:20:49
Excellent preseason performances from the team and individually from Hagi Kent Edminson Aribo Barker and Kamara. I actually think not having a crowd has helped with less pressure. I still have two major concerns ahead of the season.
Firstly how we deal with teams who set up with two banks of 5 and sit in to counter attack. These teams don't allow any space and continually press. If we don't score early we struggle to break them down. Most teams know this isthe way to play us especially when we are at home. We also need to be more physical and aggressive without getting cards.
Secondly the continuing poor form of Morelos He has been terrible since the winter break and looks unfit and not interested. He believes his own hype and every performance is driving his value down. His temprement and attitude is getting worse We have no back up plan to him as yet and need to hope he gets it together asap.

26 Jul 2020 11:46:51
Totally agree stevie71.

26 Jul 2020 12:05:57
We will see how good Kamara is if he starts against Aberdeen. There is no doubting his ability but my concern is that he will go missing when the boots start flying in and you can bet that will be the way Aberdeen will behave next weekend. We need a strong referee that won't be frightened to dish out a few red cards to Aberdeen's thugs!

26 Jul 2020 09:17:12
Been fairly happy with results of pre season but l felt similar last season. 5 0 v Oxford, 4 0 v Marseilles, 1 1 v Blackburn and 1 0 v Derby.
We also skelped them a couple of times even though we conspired to lose the cup (maybe helped along the way in that conspiracy) .
It was the collapse after the break that ripped the heart out of me. I have often wondered if there is/ are particular players that were behind that and how the likes of Sir Walter or Graham S would have dealt with it. They had me on the edge of my seat but also head in hands at times.
Let's hope it has been sorted and if they go away again it's to Gullane with the memory of big Jock Wallace.

26 Jul 2020 11:45:46
Do think there is a winter break this year bud.

26 Jul 2020 07:59:20
We've had decent pre season but shouldn't get carried away I'm on record saying we need 3 or 4 starters signed! Season starts in less than a week and I don't think we've done that! Gerrard himself said as much yesterday. People urge patience, I get that but I'd prefer them in now!

26 Jul 2020 08:41:00
Agree, including quality striker as pig sick of Morelos transfer talks and his petulant spoiled wean tantrums to be honest.

26 Jul 2020 08:41:46
Weve got enough CB we have enough GK LB looks solid CM is good AM we have abundance wingers we have murphy kent barker and jones 2 of them are proven 1 delivered preseason and jones needs to step up morelos is an animal who just needs confidence and form you see how frustrated he is but its passion and defoe has been clinical i seen Stewart smiling when he almost scored against Coventry and that shows me he's happy to be involved i hope he gets his chances so many fans right him off and forget we have 3 forwards he is clinical he just doesn't have Morelos physicality about him but stewart can find the net although i'd probably say he plays best as an inside forward not an out and out Patterson has been decent at RB but i'd still like Agyemfi.

26 Jul 2020 09:23:09
Good post SonOfStruth1872,but you didn't mention for me, our best player this pre season, joe aribo mate! He's been outstanding 4 us and has bulked up a bit, for the rigours of scottish football. He'll be massive for us this season i feel and will score i reckon 15 goals for us this season.

26 Jul 2020 09:28:55
Sonofstruth

Stewart is not and never has been clinical. Check his goals to games during his career he is a classic example of a journeyman footballer who is nowhere near good enough for us. This is a guy who couldn’t cut it at a very poor Birmingham side and wasn’t overly great for Aberdeen or Kilmarnock. You will get the odd great goal and great game from him however we need much better if we are to challenge that lot.

26 Jul 2020 09:53:51
SGL, I think there may be some scouts circulating around Aribo. he's had a great start and that will go unnoticed. Are you watching Lee Bowyer ?

26 Jul 2020 10:31:52
My worry (as it always is in Scottish football) that teams will ALEADY have Aribo and Hagi marked as the danger men and I will be very surprised if they get to xmas without injury.

26 Jul 2020 11:04:10
Not a massive fan of Morelos, but I understand that he contributes massively to the team. Ten goals in four matches, but Alfie didn't score one. He seems to get more whiny the longer he goes without scoring. It's obvious to see that he's too passionate sometimes and just has to get his head down and learn that he can't be the only goal scorer in every game. When he goes it will be a loss, but we got over losing Boyd, mccoist, mols, hatley etc. Aribo and hagi are going to be our two most important players this season. Can't wait to see how bad the comedy club, spfl refs and linesmens, are this year. Obviously our Specsavers in Scotland are crap. Every match is going to be rangers 11 v opponents 11 and ref and linesman and fourth official and Scottish press. It's not a conspiracy when it's plain to see.

26 Jul 2020 11:47:38
Stewart? he just isn’t good enough simple as that don’t even know why he was signed.

25 Jul 2020 23:35:29
Have I missed something? Going by some of the posts on here, You wouldn't think we where four wins out of four with no goals conceded!

26 Jul 2020 00:45:29
narrowlad i agree totally believe we have played some magnificent stuff during these 4 pre season friendlys. which i must say have been the best friendlies i have watched for a long time, [maybe due to the whole way C.V. has affected everything]rangers have been absolutely magnificent at times against a variety of opposition, all things considered i am absolutely buzzing we will go to pittodrie next week and win big time.

26 Jul 2020 07:08:13
I'm with you Barrow lad. 4 games played scored 10 conceded 0. Folk are going bananas as if we've had 4 humpings.

26 Jul 2020 07:37:39
Narrowlad, must have lost weight!

26 Jul 2020 07:46:32
I know we can never read too much into friendlies but i've been impressed by what i've seen from rangers so far. I go to watch rangers with 3 other longterm pals of mine,
who like myself for many years now follow the rangers everywhere. One of my mates liked the look of joe aribo last season in games and said to us before we played in the lyon tournament, to watch aribo go this year and he went as far to state that joe aribo will be the rangers player of the year, as well as the scottish player of the year, this season coming. He's said from last year aribo has immense skill and attributes, that will make rangers a lot of money one day and he'll go on to play at a very high level. I liked aribo myself last year but he was just settling in, which of course can take a season at a club our size, coupled with getting accustomed to the physical rigours of the scottish game! I'm now tending to think my mate has got this spot on regarding aribo, as he's looking very good. I think he'll hit double figures in goals for us, this season 👌👍.

26 Jul 2020 08:34:20
Winning games builds confidence. I don't care about the moaners and negative posters on here, we beat two very good French sides and then won two friendlies very comfortably indeed. Don't believe the b*******t about the French teams and Celtic not trying. Utter garbage. I agree about the need to bring in two or three players but if Aribo keeps grabbing goals, and we know Arfield can too, then the midfield can contribute as well. Bring on the sheep next weekend!

25 Jul 2020 22:13:16
Another good performance today but the concern has to be upfront with Morelos the only fit striker at the moment.
Karlan Grant of Huddersfield is another name mentioned by the media.
To date Roofe, Taylor, Dykes, Brewster have all be mentioned, but hopefully Wilson and SG can get another striker in before the season starts.

26 Jul 2020 00:51:52
copland i am on your side we need to bolster our strike force and i love to take the opportunity to comment once again kemar roofe on his way.
I will do the honourable iif this doesn't happen.

26 Jul 2020 07:40:30
Okay Brycey if Roofe is not signed in the next two weeks it’s curtains for you my lad 😂.

26 Jul 2020 09:33:08
Bold brycey! 😁.

26 Jul 2020 10:36:13
Copland1 - Morelos? Fit?
He is clearly overweight, but let's hope he can do his usual and score goals when things start fro real.

25 Jul 2020 21:45:22
knowone more than I would have loved to have seen morelos score a hat trick today --and knowone likes to get taken off myself included back in the day -but ripping off the black armband for me was the last straw -respect the jersey respect our fallen and respect the managers decision --or put in a formal request to get shipped out end of story .

26 Jul 2020 08:36:10
Deecee, I think fredo ripping the arm band off as he walked down the tunnel wasn’t meant as disrespect to davie Hagen or his family. He is clearly frustrated at not scoring again which for a striker is going to be frustrating he’s said in an interview he’s a rangers player and focused on helping us stop 10, ok he may well go in the coming weeks but whilst he wears the badge of our beloved rangers I think we all need to stick by him and the rest of the lads and show them we believe in them not bash them at every given moment. Let’s get behind the team the management the club I believe after watching all pre season games this is our year. 🔴⚪️🔵.

26 Jul 2020 10:04:54
Decree, I posted similar article regarding Morelos and his childish attitude. Being disappointed with yourself is natural but ripping his armband off in anger is not very professional. I did not comment on his play, my posts were relating to his continual childish petulance. He looks miserable all the time. A happy Morelos means more goals!
