Rangers resuming talks with Martin Skrtel again as he prepares to make his decision by the end of the week. Thoughts?



30 Jul 2019 17:58:15
We don't need him unless soneone is leaving. Sounds like a story placed by an agent.



30 Jul 2019 18:02:27
Really? Absolutely not needed and the absolute opposite of what we need. Can’t believe for a second this is true.



30 Jul 2019 18:08:32
Already 4 centre halfs. Would be dissapointed if go shell out a fortune on wages for him.



30 Jul 2019 18:38:42
It depends if someone is leaving at centre half. But I agree don’t think we need him. Ryan Kent and an ST we will be good to go.



30 Jul 2019 18:49:18
No chance
Not needed.



30 Jul 2019 20:28:53
Absolute nonsense, we were offered and passed on him when we signed the big Swedish lad.



30 Jul 2019 20:59:30
No we’re not, stop reading rubbish click bait sites that say a Turkish report states blah blah blah. It’s obvious nonsense.



30 Jul 2019 21:02:09
It was his agent who said it Ger, and no one at Ibrox has denied it. See what Stevie says at his presser tomorrow.



{Ed0333's Note - skirts was finished at Liverpool I can’t imagine what he’s like now a few seasons later.

30 Jul 2019 22:44:21
How is there no point? If Gerrard is going to a back 3 as he has hinted then we need 5 centre halfs not 4 and a warrior like skertl would be a welcome addition.



31 Jul 2019 00:37:15
Gerrards never once hinted he's going for a back 3. he's always been 433 he likes wingers wtf wiuld be the point in bringing in wingers like jones and ojo and were goin
For kent aswell to have them play narrow? He likes wingers. So naw we don't need 5 cbs. Especially wan whos a money grabbin has been like skrtel. We have 4 for
Playin thirsday sunday same as last season. We ain't gny pay him 50 grand a week no chance.



31 Jul 2019 00:40:54
No thanks. He held us to ransom before and he’s not even that good. He could’ve played for us and he ballsed it up. See ye.



31 Jul 2019 05:56:04
Brogie 1982 Gerrard has spoken about the potential of a 3 at the back. He said it will give me the opportunity to switch to a back 3. I think with skrtel that he won't be coming just to play but also to also be a defence coach he will be wanting to build up their reputation as a unit B4 eventually going to Liverpool.



31 Jul 2019 10:12:33
No thanks, he had his chance.



31 Jul 2019 12:33:50
Much rather we spent the wages on a 3rd striker. Really light up front if Morelos or Defoe gets injured. I know folk here hate him, he’s a rat blah blah blah but Hearts are about to snap up Naismith on a free. Nobody can claim that he can’t do a job in the SPL, scored 14 goals for Hearts last season who are rotten and would be a big upgrade on Lafferty. Again, don’t need the full barrage of hatred cheers, just saying for the fairly limited wages Hearts will be paying him I wouldn’t mind him as a 3rd option rather than paying Skrtel a fortune.



31 Jul 2019 12:56:48
Skrtel Naw just Naw, Money would be better spent on a Striker, 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇦🇺.



31 Jul 2019 13:18:53
FRASER54 when? Because this interview your talkin about can't be found! Weve never played it and won't it he's not going to just decide to chamge to
A
352 just to accommodate skrtel. he's pish anyway we have younger stromger better defenders.



31 Jul 2019 13:22:10
From what i remember he tried this against motherwell and it went completely gash! Remember they were beatin us twice and then score in the last seconds to draw. that's the only time a back 3 and him has ever been
Mentioned.



31 Jul 2019 14:05:46
If we get him in I think we will be playing 3 at the back.



31 Jul 2019 14:06:25
BROGIE 1982 IT WAS AFTER 1 OF THE PRE SEASON MATCHES HE SPOKE ABOUT IT I THINK IT WAS THE MARSEILLE GAME.



31 Jul 2019 14:06:47
we badly need a centre forward and not another defender.



31 Jul 2019 23:25:38
Phillip Senderos mark 2.



01 Aug 2019 12:23:56
the back 3 was mentioned when SG was asked about the signing of Helander. What he said was he is a Left footer which gives us options like playing a back 3 if we feel the need to. He never said he was thinking about it or planning for it, just that having a natural left footed centre half makes that a viable option.



30 Jul 2019 09:02:35
Kent's representatives stating they feel a loan is still not out of the question despite Klopp stating he prefers to sell.
Been told last night Rangers are readying a loan to buy bid.
£2m loan Fee with option to buy for £5.5m at end of season.
I would have expected £2m loan fee anyway so £5.5m to buy him seems fair and realistic, I'd imagine Liverpool will want sell on etc but sounds plausible for me let's hope it materialises as he's final piece of jigsaw for me this season.



30 Jul 2019 09:43:01
No chance we will pay a two million loan fee.



30 Jul 2019 10:05:57
The £2m loan fee could be part of the package to buy Kent, effectively paying more now and the balance at the end of the season. Seems feasible enough.



30 Jul 2019 10:20:03
2 m loan is ok as long as some of it comes off the buy price.



30 Jul 2019 10:49:26
Dont agree with 2mill loan deal. Yea he did us a turn but are well covered in that dept. So for that. Am out.



30 Jul 2019 12:58:43
Nae bother Duncan bannatyne 🤣🤣.



30 Jul 2019 13:39:44
Paid liverpool 1 million last year for kent.



30 Jul 2019 13:46:08
Jeo53.Well covered in that dept? Yeah in terms of numbers, but certainly not quality. Kent is absolutely miles better than any other wide player we have.

I don't believe a 2m loan fee with option to buy but I hope it's true. He'd be a steal for that.



30 Jul 2019 16:17:52
How can anyone state that Kent is better than our other wide players when the others have only played a handful of games?

Kent arrived last year with a tarnished reputation and took a while to get into his stride.

Our new signings have mainly performed better than Kent did in his first few games but already many on here have decided that they are not of the same quality.

Liverpool don’t feel that he is good enough for them to keep and I don’t yet see a queue of EPL teams rushing to buy him and yet we are wetting ourselves to get him signed - not for me.



30 Jul 2019 16:34:55
spot on DK19.



30 Jul 2019 16:50:53
That deal would make some sense that would be costing us 7.5mil for him. Liverpool may go for that if their price tag hasn't been met during the English window. Would be excellent piece of the business if we pull that off. Could keep him another season and double money if he kicks on again. I think he would finish off our attack providing morelos stays. Think we would have a bit of everything going forward and defenders would fear us again.



30 Jul 2019 17:41:55
A £1m loan Fee last season when he was out of sorts so £2m this season seems feasible to me especially if it’s basically coming off the balance to purchase.
Heard more than my fair share on Kent this summer do until it’s official it’s just another rumour but fingers crossed there’s something in it the more quality players we have the better.



30 Jul 2019 19:27:47
Were has it been confirmed that we paid 1m to loan Kent last season?



30 Jul 2019 19:42:53
Exactly the bear.



30 Jul 2019 20:26:32
For the record, Liverpool was getting 500k from Rangers for the Season!

Now there is no way he is worth 2m a season don't be silly!

Realistically Liverpool will be looking for 1m for this season I reckon we would be best moving on 👍.



30 Jul 2019 21:53:08
Yeah it was £500k fee and £10k weekly wages not just a 1 off fee of £1m.
Anyway let’s see if we can broker some sort of deal.



30 Jul 2019 22:29:58
I like Kent he's a good player and young enough to improve massively but you can see he is playing for the badge and that's worth millions to me straight off the bat.
In an ideal world i'd get him back on loan for around 1m with an option to buy at around 5m over a couple of years, get him on a 5 year deal. Failing that hopefully he will play reserves for a year and we get him for 2m next year we've got bags of wingers anyway!



31 Jul 2019 00:07:38
You're mental if you're not bothered about kent joining. Before i say this, i fully understand that they javent played many games yet, but ojo and hastie are pace merchants and not much else. Ojo doesn't look much better himself. Kent is far better than all 3. He 100% is the missing piece of our puzzle. We need him and a 3rd striker and the league looks tasty. Without them i think we will come up short in attack and inevitably the league.



31 Jul 2019 23:12:53
He ain’t worth 7.5 million as that’s what would be the totally sum and he certainly ain’t worth 2million loan fee.



01 Aug 2019 10:31:51
Can’t believe there are guys on here thinking we have better than Kent in that position. With regards to no EPL team coming in for him, Jones was on a free and an International player and yet nobody was clambering over themselves to get him.
Don’t think Murphy has what Kent has either.
Kent was young player of year for a reason last year.



30 Jul 2019 07:15:25
Anyone else heard Murphy to Well and Dorrans to Hull or Swansea?



30 Jul 2019 08:58:25
Did Murphy not cost us £1million pounds 18 months ago and I do realise he’s had a bad injury? Do we just let him leave on s free as a loan deal is no good to him or us at nearly 30 years of age🇬🇧.



30 Jul 2019 09:23:10
Murphy would be a loan deal, st mirren also in the frame.



30 Jul 2019 09:32:25
Another player we can't sell and manager doesn't want to use.



30 Jul 2019 09:44:13
Mac bow my understanding is gerrard rates Murphy, he has not told him to find a new club.



30 Jul 2019 09:46:47
I genuinely thought (given murphys form last year b4 the injury) ) he woulda been given a fair chance once fit again as he is a dangerous player for the opposition to deal with. sayin that, think the gaffer knows better than me lol.



30 Jul 2019 10:00:51
These rumours are stemming from Murphy not being in the full squad for all the games. The guy was out for a year he is probably just being managed back into the fold. He was excellent in spells before the injury. I'd love to see a fully fit Murphy in this team his record of goals/ assists is better than Jones.



30 Jul 2019 10:07:29
We only got Ryan Kent as a stop-gap for injured Murphy, if he can get fit he will be very much in the manager's plans.



30 Jul 2019 10:27:34
Agree jmaster but he needs to go out and get competitive game time or he won’t be in first team.



30 Jul 2019 16:53:02
Think a 6 month deal to someone would do murphy the world of good. Get back playing without the added pressure of having to win every game.



30 Jul 2019 18:19:14
I'd be very surprised if Murphy left. Fit and in form he's a first team regular.



31 Jul 2019 09:22:10
Murphy is a nice, neat and tidy winger but, for me doesn't have the work rate for a SG player.

Murphy himself near enough admitted getting back to fitness might not be enough as squad has moved forward.
