Don't know if there's any truth in this. Heard from 2 different people that an unnamed Turkish team are interested in Barisic and if the price is right we are looking to replace him with Shinnie from the sheep. Hope it's not true however. Just passing on what I've heard guys.
10 Jan 2019 23:31:09
That would be the most awful decision I’ve sent in a long time and one our management team would not allow. Barasic if fit will be key to a title challenge.
10 Jan 2019 23:57:46
U do realise he just signed a 4 year deal with us right?
11 Jan 2019 00:08:14
Well that makes a lot of sense.
11 Jan 2019 00:23:00
No player can register and play for 3 teams in one season so wouldn’t lose much sleep over this one.
11 Jan 2019 09:58:53
Can't remember barasic having a single good performance for us yet.
11 Jan 2019 10:18:24
^^^ what matches have you been watching then? His crosses into the box and passing have been flawless! Just a shame he has been injured a few times.
11 Jan 2019 10:37:14
Maybe the two lads Barisic and Gedza are not used to British game and the physical side to it? Time will tell✌️🇬🇧.
11 Jan 2019 10:41:51
Was thinking the same Kenny, he has a wicked delivery into the box and although Andy has done an admirable job in his absence, he won't keep the left back position. Barasic is by far the best left back at the club (when fit obviously) .
11 Jan 2019 12:30:54
Barisic has a torpedo on his left foot but unfortunately his submarine is pretty much permanently in need of repair. He's been a waste of cash and he can't stay fit.
11 Jan 2019 13:25:57
Barasic hasn’t had a single good performance? Eh? 😂😂.
11 Jan 2019 14:07:03
Rfcb1872 - how can you say that after a few months? Some folk are keen for players to fail.
11 Jan 2019 15:25:48
So72, yes, especially the timmy kind of people masquerading as Rangers fans to wind everybody up.
11 Jan 2019 15:39:52
Totally agree with 6counties, he's not been particularly poor but I can't remember a really good performance from him that merits this opinion that's he's an excellent player. The only real noteworthy moment of his time with us is losing his man in Villareal for one of their goals. If anyone can remind me of a solid 7/ 8 out of 10 performance then please do.
11 Jan 2019 15:50:50
Steven Gerrard says barsic is our best left back. I'll trust his judgment.
11 Jan 2019 17:07:07
The best 2 performances Barisic has had this season was against us in the Europa qualifiers 😭🇬🇧.
11 Jan 2019 19:38:00
See some of these comments for a start are a joke 6counties u clearly don't go to the games because bbs left peg is sweet and he will be a good asset for the run to 55.
11 Jan 2019 19:56:01
Need to agree with you there, Yately1. Although there is a player there, he has still to deliver such a powerful performance as he did against us. Once we get a fully fit Barisic, then we'll see what he's really made of. Barisic is a class player.
11 Jan 2019 20:00:46
I'd like to add to the comments regarding sweet deliveries, Cadden is another whom I admire and can do the same. Just saying, not making comparances or anything.
11 Jan 2019 23:46:53
Bear2306
100% correct mate.
12 Jan 2019 07:20:26
For me he’s too predictable, he always wants down the outside to put a ball in and we don’t fill the box enough for that to be successful. Halliday currently is our strongest LB without a doubt and plays for the jersey.
12 Jan 2019 09:19:13
Love how I stated a rule that’s actually listed on Uefas website and still get 5 disagrees. Must be the puddle drinkers on.
10 Jan 2019 18:26:49
Seen grezda on crutches anyone any idea what happened and how long out for?
10 Jan 2019 19:13:12
I heard he missed the OF match through injury. Didn't know how bad it was till now!
10 Jan 2019 19:24:21
He was fine yesterday seen pictures of him training.
10 Jan 2019 20:19:20
Injury that caused him to miss Celtic game was a groin strain.
10 Jan 2019 22:44:52
Looks like he's picked an injury up over there. The new rossiter?
10 Jan 2019 22:54:46
Defoe stepped on his foot today at training. Crutches and boot were precautionary until it was checked over I believe.
10 Jan 2019 22:59:02
Defoe stepped on his foot, broke a bone.
11 Jan 2019 06:38:53
Para-glider accident.
11 Jan 2019 07:39:13
Scott brown fell out of arfields pocket and landed on grezdas toe.
11 Jan 2019 15:21:44
Hope he doesn't step on the Broon's foot in the next Old Firm game.
I would hate to see any professional footballer injured. I would have to get all sympathetic, wish him a speedy recovery and tell him that such things transcend petty club rivalries. I would offer that the whole football community was with him at a difficult time.
As I say, I hope it doesn't happen.
11 Jan 2019 15:26:55
I could believe that southend😂👍.
10 Jan 2019 09:17:29
Ryan kent on another season long loan i'm hearing.
10 Jan 2019 13:03:01
also heard this, would be great business for us!
10 Jan 2019 13:50:54
We need to do whatever we can to keep kent as long as possible👍.
10 Jan 2019 15:12:38
Just yesterday Mark Allen said we still have to have that conversation with Liverpool. I posted it here but it was taken out of my post. There has been nothing agreed with anybody.
11 Jan 2019 08:31:22
Don't get me wrong, I like Kent, but he seems to have been elevated to another player since the old firm game.
He certainly has potential, but for me he has to prove he can be consistent.
11 Jan 2019 12:47:22
Mols, I feel he has been fairly consistant - almost every game he plays he's our stand out player and is clearly missed when he's been out.
10 Jan 2019 00:06:33
Be kind as its my first post. but I keep seeing folk thinking we should cash in on Tav. I think the lad is bordering on hall of fame status on merit. he joined us when when we were in the lower leagues and stuck with us, this could be a football/ sporting hollywood story. bears tell me. should we cut him loose, my bet is he would want to stay the course and captain us to 55. he is quality. with better players around him only provail and our squad is improving.
10 Jan 2019 00:45:46
Cooperfan, Tavernier is going nowhere, he's highly valued by the manager and that's the only thing that counts.
10 Jan 2019 00:57:03
Cooper Fan welcome. There's not many captains of the mighty that don't make the Hall of Fame. As for Tav in my opinion he has not progressed as much as I thought he should have. If a sensible offer came in in this window then I would sell. Shagger should have the armband or Davis when he signs full time after his loan.
10 Jan 2019 07:14:04
Massive fan of Tav. Everyone entitled to their opinion but the guy has a great engine and is one of our biggest assets who brings so much to the table. Seems to be a scapegoat when things don’t go our way. Would never compare him to gough etc as a captain but obviously has a big influence on the team behind the scenes which the manager sees on a daily basis. Would be gutted if he left as he clearly loves the club but every player has a price I suppose.
10 Jan 2019 08:57:44
When we get 55 this year all the team will walk in tae the hall of fame as for Tav he is a quality wingback and I think he will be our captain for a while yet.
10 Jan 2019 09:13:28
No offence mate but nobody was looking him when he “stuck by us in the lower leagues” as for the hall of fame he hasn’t done anything to merit a place in it yet! If club was offered 7-8million i'd bite there hand off. That’s how we should be operating buying players for small fee and selling to England were the market is insane.
10 Jan 2019 09:38:25
7 million for Tav maybe very difficult for Rangers to turn down from a business point of view. Money talks .
10 Jan 2019 09:54:23
always feel Tav gets a hard time which is mostly un warranted. Going forward he is undoubtably one of our best players and gives the team another dimension
he gets stick for his defensive ability which again is harsh, yes a lot of our goals conceded come from down his side but this is due to the fact he is asked by the management to get forward at every chance to help create, so obviously he will get caught out of position
if you look at europa league group stafe stats after 4 or 5 games, the stats had Tav in the top 5 defenders in the entire competition
i would be gutted if Tav left.
10 Jan 2019 10:15:19
Good luck replacing him with someone else who can even get close to his 8 league assists. For the clinically insane who keep replying with "he's not a wing-back" Just forget your all conquering FM prowess. If it looks like a duck, flies like a duck and Quacks like a duck chances are its a duck. His phenomenal assist stats are not just a blip for 1 season, he's always done it for us. His work rate is second to none and he obviously is a good enough defender for SG.
10 Jan 2019 10:29:02
It's funny how people say he's done nothing great or he's crap but expect £7-8m for him. Windass was joint top scorer last season and we only got £2m.
10 Jan 2019 10:58:03
Didn’t say he was crap! And what has he done.
10 Jan 2019 13:26:32
Wasn't singling you out, just a general notice that a fair few people say get rid of him, but only if it's a high bid.
10 Jan 2019 13:40:04
Whether we love tav or not, if any offer is good buisness for the club that would help put the club on a sound financial foundation then it has to be considered. I like tav, he has his flaws but to be fair anything round about the 7mil mark I think would be good buisness for the club. 👍.
10 Jan 2019 14:32:58
EVERY player has a price if Tavs is met HE WILL BE GOING. That’s reality I’m afraid. I’m a big fan of Tavs but HOF? If he’s here long enough to win a few titles then yes he’d be in the discussion.
10 Jan 2019 16:26:56
Tavernier is good enough player, who has some dodgy moments this season. I hope he stays. Think talk of the Hall of Fame is a bit premature though!
10 Jan 2019 17:33:38
For me tavernier and Morelos will be sold and possibly 1 this window and 1 in the summer although I do hope it's the summer before both leave.
What people fail to forget is we are operating at a massive loss each season and those 2 players will help bridge that gap until the next morelos is found.
As long as the club feels its a deal too good to turn down then I'm happy if and when either leave as I'm sure we will have alternatives lined up.
11 Jan 2019 01:10:00
HOF? Give yourself a break. Couldn't lace the boots of Sandy Jardine, Gary Stevens or even for that matter Alan Hutton or Fernando Ricksen. He's an English Championship level player at best, those 4 were internationals and European level players. If you're saying he's Glasgow Rangers HOF standard then that is a sad, sad statement.
11 Jan 2019 05:44:16
Tavs confidence in hitting a dead ball has gone totally and the best thing he did all last year ( apart from the pens and that run into the box against the manks ) was give the kicking duty over to Andy halliday . infact I wish Andy had took the 30 yard free kick against the manks at the end of the game instead of tav passing it back to Gordon .
