See just for talking sake Cortes is an obligation to buy i believe?
Was Malik tilman not an obligation to buy and Bayerern pulled the player out if it and sold to PSV?
Did they not have to pay us some compensation?
So here's the question.
We pullout of the obligation what is the compensation we'd have to pay?
And would it be worth doing or can we get a player in Cortes and trust injuries are behind him?
Just for discussions?
31 Mar 2025 19:45:18
It was option to buy with Tillman not obligation.
31 Mar 2025 19:47:33
Stig Chelsea have a clause in their obligation to buy of Jayden Sancho and Bayern had the clause in our deal for Tillman. so if there is a clause in the contract then we could trigger it. If the clause isn't there then the option would be to try to bargain with his current club an amount to allow us to back out and they would need to agree. much messier. say they say okay £2million to back out are we not better to just go ahead as we will have medical opinion on his condition.
31 Mar 2025 19:49:06
Option to buy for Tillman and it's in the name Stig. Obligation which means we are legally bound to purchase him regardless.
He will 100% be a Rangers players in the summer.
31 Mar 2025 19:55:35
Posted earlier a rough breakdown, so we've already paid £2m and have another £1.5m due in the summer to make the deal perm - the rest are add-ons.
If we forfeit the deal it'll cost us more than the £1.5m, we'll lose the player and we'll damage our reputation.
31 Mar 2025 20:00:44
Stingo he's only had a couple of injuries mate and only 21 a highly rated youth player, hopefully he kicks on now.
31 Mar 2025 20:07:14
Yeah i agree Angus just curiosity on what the finer details woukd be or if it was possible
Kl Storm thought i remembered it being an obligation.
think my worry is the money we spend and if he continuous to be on the medical table.
Suppose the players worry wil be if New Manager deems him good enough to be picked to play.
31 Mar 2025 20:14:43
Kl EHL
Didn't realise we had already paid most of it.
Sorry I do have a bad memory these days which is becoming a worry being only 45.
Anyway that's for another day ?
Be good to see him then get some game time under his belt from now until end of season.
31 Mar 2025 21:26:53
Koppen has already stated he is a Rangers player there is no way out of it.
So I don't know why we keep asking these questions you see it all over social media as well when we have already been told it's done and dusted.
31 Mar 2025 21:47:29
Was done n dusted when we signed him, been written off the same way Raskin was, "he's always injured, " now look at him, what's to say Cortes doesn't kick on?.
31 Mar 2025 21:54:39
Aye alright strom.
chill out mate eh not in mood for arguments I very well could have looked it up and got the answer.
it's nice to come on and actually chat with like minded folk instead of google or AI answering my question.
Honestly mate you need to calm down on some of your replies.
31 Mar 2025 21:58:02
I completely understand the frustration around Cortes as we all want the best for the club.
It's worth pointing out that he didn't have a history of injuries - until he landed awkwardly on the Killie plastic pitch.
It's now known that the cause of the original injury was an underdeveloped muscle group - however we didn't identify that until his third breakdown.
He's a young lad, in a foreign country, following every plan in order to get back to doing what he loves - and every time he got passed fit something else popped.
He has since had to systematically break down and rebuild a particularly difficult muscle group in order get himself cleared - and through it all I've never heard him complain or give anything less than 100%.
I honestly hope he gets 20 mins on Saturday and gets some bums off seats.
31 Mar 2025 22:24:48
Excellent breakdown, no pun intended, and good insight into structured recovery, good post bud??.
31 Mar 2025 22:27:33
Hopefully he can show what he can do EHL you always speak highly of him.
31 Mar 2025 23:57:30
Good bit of info ehl, i hope he kicks on, thought he looked the part when he first joined.
01 Apr 2025 02:44:28
Stig just take no notice of him mate. You've come on to ask a Rangers related question and he's having a go, swso a couple of posts up asked a Rangers related question and he's having a go at him to mate. He lasted about a week of "trying to be nice" he's maybe needing Ed to tell him a few home truths again. Get over yourself Storm, it's not all about you.
01 Apr 2025 02:55:32
Excellent info ehl.
01 Apr 2025 05:26:00
Stig I wasn't having a go but it's been done to death and posted on here many times what koppen said ? I certainly wasn't arguing.
01 Apr 2025 10:49:41
Great stuff EHL! It's a pleasure having you around.
01 Apr 2025 11:38:09
Bb4 oh the irony telling others am having a go when you are doing the same thing to me ?.
I am allowed an opinion and I am allowed to post.
What I posted in here is factually correct. Why ask a question when we have been told the answer months ago?
On the coops one he has went through 20 odd managers and asked the same question who do you prefer ? it gets boring hence I am allowed to reply.
01 Apr 2025 11:39:36
Ps BB4 it's all about you was a great song from McFly back in the day thanks for that I'll bang it on Spotify just now for a wee listen ?
I'll change the words to it's all about me ?.
01 Apr 2025 13:53:24
Kl Storm was just the way i read the reply last night.
sometimes it's good to just come on and chat even if it is boring ?.
01 Apr 2025 14:20:31
BB4 was a bit tired last night and read it wrong way mate.
Hope your keeping well ?.
01 Apr 2025 14:34:30
Your usual reply of I'm allowed to post and and reply, so is everyone else no matter the subject, so stop complaining it works both ways. There's already someone in charge of what comes through and what doesn't you don't need to try and police the site. In all honesty thought you were doing well for a while there but could honestly see you slipping back to old ways in the last week or so mate. It's not my taste but enjoy my fly ?.
01 Apr 2025 15:35:57
Stig I'm good pal, hope you and family are good. Wether you were tired or not stig I read it the exact same way, you asked the question for a reason mate because you didn't know the answer. I honestly thought it was a valid question, as like yourself not knowing the ins and outs of the deal. Ehl broke it down nicely which is all you were looking for. 100% agree about coming on here for information to talk to like minded ppl, instead of using Google, thought that was what the site was all about ?.
01 Apr 2025 17:48:30
Bb4 you are a red neck mate ? dry yer eyes and stop getting your knickers in a twist jumping in trying to cause trouble when me and stig have spoke about it. Have a day off. The old ways ? embarrassing. Ed doesn't need to police what I have said here because I haven't said anything wrong.
01 Apr 2025 20:12:25
Am a red kneck? ? a don't need a guy I've never met from the Internet to make me consider how I'm behaving towards others, I'm quite capable of judging that all by myself. You hadn't sorted it out because I posted my first post last night, so that's a whopper. I definitely don't need to cause you trouble you do that superbly by yourself. Where did I say Ed had to police what you said? Another whopper, i said you don't need to police the site. Ed no offence mate ?.
