What would u prefer?
Djiga 4 years, 8 million pounds
Doehki 4 years, 2 million euro. signing on fee spread over length off contract.
26 Mar 2026 13:55:52
I'd prefer both, I'm not really an 'or' guy.
26 Mar 2026 13:58:52
Given the investment required to further improve the squad, as well as starting eleven, I would go with Doehki.
He is a very good, experienced defender who would be a leader on the field.
I think Djiga is continuing to improve, but that we would get better value from Doehki (on the park).
26 Mar 2026 14:10:36
I would prefer Doehki to be honest, John. I don't know if he will come tho.
26 Mar 2026 14:14:01
We can't have both, and Fernandez, it's not viable, so between the 3 options I think I'd sell Fernandez for £20m rising to 25.
I'd sign both, and that's the pairing.
And we're in profit.
26 Mar 2026 14:15:23
Doekhi all day long. Allows us to invest in other areas needed.
26 Mar 2026 14:22:40
Djiga, because I've not got a scooby who the other dude is, and if Djiga keeps getting better, we will make very good money selling him.
26 Mar 2026 14:50:41
Doehki all day long, John, as someone else said, it allows us to focus attention elsewhere that needs good quality.
26 Mar 2026 15:00:45
Doehki.
26 Mar 2026 15:34:37
If you'd asked me 4 months ago, then I would've given Djiga a piggy back all the way down to Wolves to get rid of him. He's a different player these days, though. So, based on having seen him do well in the league over the last couple of months, I'd have to say Djiga.
Too many players arrive in Scotland thinking it will be a skoosh, so I'd rather go with the tried and tested option as we'd know what we're getting, but that's just me.
26 Mar 2026 15:35:06
Why can't we have both, Steve? Very odd statement. Are we restricted on how many centre halves we can sign?
26 Mar 2026 15:48:08
Doeki for me, although both and sell Fernandez for big money might be on the cards.
26 Mar 2026 15:52:52
Storm, I'm told Doehki wants to see if we make CL group stages. We won't wait.
26 Mar 2026 16:11:20
U can't have both, Dado, because the question was which do u prefer? ?
26 Mar 2026 16:14:17
I don't think we should wait either. I would say he would need to decide before the end of the season.
26 Mar 2026 16:23:50
Dado, I didn't say we can't have both.
I said we can't have both and Fernandez, as all 3 would and should, expect to be starters.
U want to sign Djiga for 7/8m and Doehki on big doe, then keep Fernandes, who, by all accounts, is our biggest asset.
Who would we be benching Dado??
Be realistic, maybe we can't have all 3 plus Souttar.
26 Mar 2026 17:59:25
Djiga seems to have found his feet, been excellent in recent games. I think he had a bad red, then confidence was knocked out of him. Honestly, if the fee was around £4 or 5 million I'd definitely be taking up that option if he would stay. He knows the league, knows the pressures, and it's less of a risk than getting in a new player who may take time to settle or not settle.
Djiga would add some continuity. I definitely think he will get better, and he's relatively quick, which is a huge. If some of the apparent figures are true about Fernandez then he will definitely be away.
26 Mar 2026 17:59:57
Storm end of March is allegedly our deadline.
26 Mar 2026 18:01:55
Stevie, Doehki, Fernandes, Souttar as we gave him a deal and Luke Graham.
26 Mar 2026 19:04:44
'3 should be expected starters', That's why we've won the league once since our return. There's not a player at Ibrox should be expected to be a starter, how about the guy who has burst his guts at training and ran himself into the ground, played well the week before, how about he's the starter and the other guy works even harder than him the next week to get in the team? If either of those 3 (4 if you include Souttar) wants an easy life as a starter then get them out of Rangers.
We should have like for like players on the park and bench, and the first 11 should know (even be scared) that there's as good a player on the bench chapping at the bit to take their place.
26 Mar 2026 19:58:36
I agree Dado, it's up to the players to fight for their place, but no use having two great ch and one ok one. We want the majority of the bench to be starters, then we will have quality all the way through the league.
So we should find out very soon then, John. ? Cheers for info as always.
27 Mar 2026 00:14:22
John, I'd prefer that as a defence, but from business side of things I think selling Manny for big money would make a lot of sense.
Even at a conservative rate of say £15m rising to £20m, signing Djiga for £7/8 and Doehki dor what u had said earlier makes most sense to me.
I'd be happy with the back ups u mention though.
I think any 2 from the 3 is a very big statement mate.
27 Mar 2026 00:15:20
Dado and Storm, I agree with every word tous say, lads.
I'm just being realistic, is all.
I'd be happy with what yous are want, that's for sure.
27 Mar 2026 04:14:47
If he has to wait to see if we qualify, then I would cancel the potential deal. I don't want half ar&ed players.
27 Mar 2026 04:37:01
Let's see where we end up, Steve, hopefully a lot string in every position, mate.
27 Mar 2026 12:16:31
John, if we have those 4 centre halves at Ibrox for next season I'd be very happy with that, i.e. Fernandez, Djiga/Doehki, Souttar and Luke Graham/Jack Milne. ? ??
27 Mar 2026 14:30:03
Out of the 2 young Scottish centre halves at Aberdeen and Dundee respectively, who would we prefer, i.e. Jack Milne or Luke Graham? ?
27 Mar 2026 15:32:41
Coops, I don't know enough about them, maybe I've really n noticed either to be outstanding when watchin their games, mate.
