Sun reporting Pena off on a 12 month loan deal where we will pay half of his wages. Absolute farce. He’s rubbish but in my opinion they either buy him or we keep him here.



06 Jan 2018 00:32:38
If that’s true it’s another total joke from our wonderful board. I thought they already admitted to mis managing the sale of McKay, this is another case of a mis managed transfer.



06 Jan 2018 03:42:35
Why would Pena leave when he has a 20k contract with us? Only option for him to go is loan deal with him still receiving same cash in total from loan club and us



06 Jan 2018 07:45:05
Believe it or not pena is on at least 40 k a week heard it hard to. believe I know.



06 Jan 2018 08:10:22
33k a week and alves 38.not good



06 Jan 2018 08:36:56
I read everything I can about our team can you tell me where yous get the info about these so called wages and when there are so many varying accounts how qualative are these sources



06 Jan 2018 09:33:23
33k and 38k lol lay off the evostik n stop listning to tims who get there info from paddy from roystons twatter account



06 Jan 2018 09:53:20
S*n is claiming he’s on £26k a week I had heard from an ex player he was on 20k. Wasn’t an ex rangers player so I thought even 20k a week wasn’t likely. Bottom line is to let him go on loan for 12 months paying half his wages is wrong in my opinion. If they really wanted to go down that toad it should have been 6 months max so we could try and sell him in summer. I think it’s really bad business on our part



06 Jan 2018 09:54:56
I’m not saying he should just leave Scotty I’m saying if he wants to leave that badly then a permanent deal should have been the only option. If nobody wanted him or were at least willing to match his wages I would have told him he was staying. Just my opinion



06 Jan 2018 12:54:42
The board have their hands tied mate. Either sell him - free up all his wages, that won’t happen as his current contract is way beyond any new contract. Loan him out - free up as much as possible, apparently 50% which can be reinvested. Last option is keep him - pay full wage and play him or let him rot.



06 Jan 2018 13:53:14
Yeh this team will find out he's pish and return him when loan deal comes to an end, if not sooner, then we're stuck with him. Should have cut our losses and punted him.



06 Jan 2018 14:06:07
pena is on 32k and alves is on more



06 Jan 2018 14:09:40
its the rest of the squad that are on buttons, joey barton was on a big salary that was freed up when he left. Do you really think guys like him come up to play for rangers for the love of the club.



05 Jan 2018 18:52:50
Looking at signing Devante cole on a pre contract agreement.



05 Jan 2018 19:44:41
I thought he had signed a new deal the end of last season when he had that fruitful spell in front of The cameras. If it's true, he'd b a good shout as plenty of attributes to become a cracking striker! So here's hoping. Where did u hear that?



05 Jan 2018 20:00:58
Daily record transfer news live



05 Jan 2018 20:19:12
please no. what an uninspiring rumour. 1 in 4 in league one : (



05 Jan 2018 20:27:28
Apparently a dew decent championship club's sniffing about too. Young and rated quite highly if he's free and wages aren't much bring him in and see what he's got to offer.



05 Jan 2018 21:20:01
championship clubs mean the wages will be pushed up. and a lot of the fans at these clubs don't want him. being outscored by that ex hibs legend eion doyle in league one. not for me thanks



05 Jan 2018 21:28:30
This is what its came to. guys from fleetwood and guys that rot away on the qpr bench



05 Jan 2018 22:03:30
Fleetwood have a track record of producing good players, the boy is supposed to be good



05 Jan 2018 22:03:57
Jamie Vardy, went to Leicester from Fleetwood and he is not to bad



05 Jan 2018 22:07:12
@caw. Jamie Vardy, Bobby Zamora, Charlie Austin, Robbie Earnshaw etc all started at a similar level. Gary Hooper was another who came through the lower leagues and he done well up here. Unfortunately we can't buy ready made stars so this is the route we need to go down. Writing players off before they have kicked a ball for us is ridiculous.



05 Jan 2018 22:20:39
thats your opinion jm22 but il stick to mine that we aren't going to move forward with a guy that has scored 30 goals in 120 odd games in league one. accepting that's the sort of market we are looking at to close the gap is closer to what i see as ridiculous



05 Jan 2018 22:22:51
biglach that is one player who left them and made it, exception not the rule mate. by that token do we sign the queens park left back because robertson started at them and is at liverpool now?



05 Jan 2018 23:25:25
Vardy one of the worst things to happen to football. Every time we're linked to dross from English lower leagues there's always someone shouting "Aye but what about Vardy? ".

Truth is in 99% of cases players that are at that level are there for a reason and or chances of snatching the diamond is extremely low.



05 Jan 2018 23:51:25
Everyone starts somewhere. At 22, the boy is still developing and a goalscoring record at his age isn't the be all and end all.

If the rumour is true then I'm sure the club have scouted the boy in person and if the management team feel he can do a turn then I'm more than happy to trust their judgement over stats off Wikipedia.



06 Jan 2018 03:18:41
I agree totally with Campbell and snell this is totally terrible and embarrassing that this is the standard of player we are looking at thought we tried this approach under warbs and look what lower league dross he brought in.



06 Jan 2018 07:32:34
Are we actually looking at him though? Or is just paper talk. We can't afford Big-name players now. Young players with potential, relatively low risk, some will work out. John, Tavernier and maybe Windass. Some don't, it's were we are. I loved the days of gazza, laudrup, negri, mols but doubt we'll see that again, especially with King in charge



06 Jan 2018 07:40:34
Celtic atm would be a mid PL team, the other 3 big teams, Hibs, Aberdeen, Hearts could maybe just hang on to Championship status . The rest league 1 or less so i'd say the lad would likely get his place at TRFC .



06 Jan 2018 07:51:08
I see we are supposedly tracking young Cole I guess he has the DNA but why did Bradford let him go if he's that good, I personally don't think he handles pressure but am willing to be proven wrong.



06 Jan 2018 13:43:05
what the 22 year old that plays for Fleetwood. don't think he would be a good goal scorer 150 aps and scored only 38. to me no we should be looking at players that has better goals to games ratio.



05 Jan 2018 17:45:46
What is the hold up announcing Jamie Murphy as a Ger? Everything is so long and drawn Out! Is there a last minute hitch?



05 Jan 2018 18:52:48
Well anything is possible with this board as we have seen. Could all be just a smoke screen just too keep supporters happy nothing would supprise me this lot, they will come out with some BS. on the up we are looking at a striker from Fleetwood lol is Warburton hiding in a cupboard at Ibrox.



05 Jan 2018 19:15:51
Long and drawn out? it's the 5th of Jan . Some folk will never be happy.



05 Jan 2018 20:48:04
i know a friend of murphys apparently medical completed and all the PR stuff done today announcement tomorrow could be rubbish but same person told me straight after old firm game that murphy was coming £1M



05 Jan 2018 21:24:48
C-bear. Long and drawn out as in arrives up for medical yesterday normally all done and dusted within 24 hrs paraded for cameras as new player, a la Morgan for rotten mob. and all we get is silence. i'm not blessed with much patience! 🔴⚪🔵



05 Jan 2018 22:04:36
Colshy exactly what i heard, pics taking today and will be on the tarmac to florida tom



06 Jan 2018 07:43:56
A problem with their payment plan it seems . They don't want to pay first instalment until May when season ticket money comes in .



06 Jan 2018 13:41:58
derek Johnstone said on the football phone in he had just got news through that Murphy had just past his medical that was about 7:45pm tonight.



06 Jan 2018 13:46:26
Desrfc, sitting third, bringing through youth, which the board
have spent heavily building up along with scouting network, too many on here expect everything to happen overnight, 2nd place this season then serious challenge next, get behind board and team and stop this negative attitude.



06 Jan 2018 13:48:15
Celtic are in for him



06 Jan 2018 13:52:49
The Hold up is Brighton want £1.4 million for him, whereas We only want to pay £1 million for Murphy up front and pay the other £400,000. after so Many appearances personally i just don't think this stupid board have all the money till they sell) i still think the deal will be done but If not and its a case of yet another one gets, away AGAIN, i won't be renewing my season ticket and no more cup games home or away this season or next until this penny pinching, losing out on good Rangers men players stops, just look, at Moult £400,000 and now Walker £300,000, Just to name a couple, at lost out on them why? Over what should be peanuts to a massive club like ours, no wonder the manky mob and others are laughing at us!



05 Jan 2018 16:46:19
Anyone know what's the holed up with Murphy thought we would of heard by now



05 Jan 2018 16:57:18
Thinking the same. still only the fake Twitter signing pic from yesterday on anywere



05 Jan 2018 16:58:39
He has signed now



05 Jan 2018 17:35:07
He has not, Clyde saying failed medical knee problem



05 Jan 2018 17:37:33
This is reeking of Mcinnes



05 Jan 2018 18:59:40
Seems very drawn out I hope I'm wrong but I smell a rat



05 Jan 2018 21:22:23
Have heard murphy will be announced a rangers player tomorrow



06 Jan 2018 13:37:46
Regarding signing Murphy the silence is getting deafening



06 Jan 2018 13:42:19
passed his medical earlier tonight



05 Jan 2018 14:45:53
Jason Holt supposedly going back to Hearts?



05 Jan 2018 17:37:43
Would like to see him stay. Puts himself about well and not afraid to get stuck in



05 Jan 2018 19:45:56
Jordan Thompson off to Livingston six month loan



05 Jan 2018 23:20:48
Holt going to hearts, some people just make s### up



05 Jan 2018 12:56:17
Really hope tav does not leave, had a good season so far and appears to be improving and happier under Murty and do think it would be better for his own career to stay with Rangers. hopefully we keep windass and he performs well in the second half of the season, hopefully we push on and push Celtic, it is unlikely we will catch them this season but remember big Marvin keep believing bears! Lol.



05 Jan 2018 14:49:36
He still can’t defend and makes too many mistakes defensively so if there’s an option to get a right back in who can defend then we need to go down that route. One good game at Parkhead doesn’t make up for all the continuos mistakes. Would still keep him but play him further forward because is more use going forward than defending and his crossing and link up play can be really dangerous at times.



05 Jan 2018 15:05:18
Our FB’s are encouraged to attack so this will always leave us vulnerable to counter attacks. It’s the modern game with FB’s pretty much deployed as wingers and holding mids covering in. The days of FB’s staying square and not going past half way are long gone. I’d def keep him.



05 Jan 2018 15:05:25
If a decent offer came in I would take it he still hasn't signed an extension to his contract so might want to go anyway in the near future, cash in and get a RB that can defend



05 Jan 2018 17:38:28
Tavs been one of our best players this season. Madness to want him out.



05 Jan 2018 19:19:11
You are so negative Rick. Tav has had a great season so far. I personally believe he’s developed throughout the time he’s been with us. Has he made any high profile mistakes this season?



06 Jan 2018 13:33:09
Pretty sure he did sign new contract and it was waghorn that turned it down at the time.



06 Jan 2018 13:41:44
tav is the most improved player in our team how many young signings or chance signings would it take to replace him imo he is one we need to try and keep.



05 Jan 2018 10:51:25
Greg Docherty is in Tenerife. was mentioned
In a Rangers Bar here that he would be signing . player himself did not deny it. would be a good signing for us. Fact no rumour.



05 Jan 2018 10:59:57
Good! I'm flying out to Tenerife tomorrow so hopefully I'll meet him when I pop into George's Ibrox Bar in Costa Adeje!



05 Jan 2018 14:07:10
He can't sign until Hamilton accept an offer for him, Rangers don't want to pay the asking price.
Hamilton want a similar fee to what we just paid for a premier league player! Docherty is nowhere near signing! If he was, he woukdnt be in Tenerife.



05 Jan 2018 16:07:01
i don't know much of the lad so have held off in terms of an opinion as to whether he would be a decent signing or not. however the price hamilton are quoting does seem to be a bit excessive. could probably buy rest of their starting eleven for that!



05 Jan 2018 16:36:40
Snell - not if they are coming to the Rangers mate.
Everyone of them suddenly become world beaters and command BIG fees.
It's always been the way. We get slagged off for having no money, but the rest are quick enough to demand MORE THAN top dollar for anyone



05 Jan 2018 16:55:16
Walker Hearts away to Wigan 330 k. We offered same today not allowed to talk to him



05 Jan 2018 17:39:29
I'm not too fussed about missing out on Walker.



05 Jan 2018 10:29:45
Cruz Azul have confirmed Pena loan deal nearly complete.

Disaster of a signing, let's hope he performs and they buy him in the summer, wonder what percentage of his wages they will be paying over the loan period.



05 Jan 2018 12:46:25
You would like to think all 75%- all of them



05 Jan 2018 12:51:06
Probably none with us paying them to take him before we rip up his contract 😂



05 Jan 2018 13:11:48
Disaster? He scored 5 goals in 9 games - i'd say that was not a bad return to be honest, but then i'm not one of those people who boos my own team.



05 Jan 2018 14:11:39
Souness, think you are jumping to conclusions a tad there mate haha, I've never booed the team and i'm supportive of all players in a Rangers jersey, if you read my posts a frequently stick up for the foreign players on here.

But, that being said, if you think because Pena has netted 5 goals that makes him worth a reported 30k a week and 2.7m in transfer fees then that's your opinion, but if we are being honest with ourselves, all things considered, it's a bad signing, doesn't mean I've ever booed him though, in fact, about 3 days ago I disagreed strongly with a punter o here saying he had 'no ability whatsoever'.

He's a good player but he's not suited to Scottish football after playing all his days in Mexico.



05 Jan 2018 16:23:05
Anyone who has watched Pena play for us can’t argue he has been a disaster and clearly not suited to our football. Looks both unfit and uninterested.



05 Jan 2018 16:57:02
You are right Souness_ he wasnt a disaster. he was a complete and utter disaster!



05 Jan 2018 17:40:58
Pena is just not suited to spl football. Hope he does well at Cruz azul so they'll want to buy him.



05 Jan 2018 19:20:46
If you don’t think Pena has been a disaster for the money we paid and his wages you must be watching with your eyes closed



06 Jan 2018 13:14:51
Pena is hopeless end of. Doesn't make you more or less of a supporter than anyone else and while we are at it herrera and cardoso are also hopeless.
