Read on phone Sone Aluko might be coming back. Not sure bout that.



07 Jan 2019 17:28:17
Nah mate.
I would like this but basically he liked a tweet about Defoe coming in and fans were on about him coming too.
Nothing in this one unfortunately.



07 Jan 2019 13:45:52
Was talking to a mate of mine who was saying that he had read online that we are looking at stevie naismith on a pre contract. Anyone else heard this at all?



07 Jan 2019 15:56:35
Please no!



07 Jan 2019 15:57:39
No danger, the wee rat can do one.



07 Jan 2019 16:07:31
Why please no?



07 Jan 2019 16:30:27
Rubbish.



07 Jan 2019 23:21:41
I'd take naisy back. Would be a great signing.



08 Jan 2019 11:21:51
Don’t want the Rat near our wonderful club✌️🇬🇧.



07 Jan 2019 13:11:40
Did morelos get on the plane with the team to head out to traning camp as fella out off my work said he hasnt?



07 Jan 2019 13:38:48
He didn't no, hearing that he is due to meet the team in Tenerife straight from Colombia as opposed to flying back to Glasgow first.



07 Jan 2019 14:12:21
Was he not back home in Colombia. He's maybe flying from there.



07 Jan 2019 14:47:44
Maybe he's coming over from Columbia?



07 Jan 2019 15:09:20
He was in Colombia, so would make more sense to fly from there. Mark Allen has said that he is going nowhere in January. It is odd that SG has recalled Hardie though, but he could just be wanting as many options as possible for the second half of the season and maybe thinks Hardie will learn more from Defoe now.



07 Jan 2019 15:51:26
scottyger, he merely wants to properly assess Hardies over the period to see how he has come on during his loan spell before making a decision on his future. There's absolutely nothing else in this.



07 Jan 2019 17:16:11
Morelos has apparently been given extended leave by SG.



07 Jan 2019 20:05:22
He got held back at the check in because one of his suitcases was overweight. They found Boyata inside a pair of his shorts.



07 Jan 2019 20:16:24
Hopefully being sold.



07 Jan 2019 20:31:23
6counties 😂😂😂😂😂😂 tell me you’re joking.



07 Jan 2019 22:38:28
For me Hardie coming back is 1 of 3 things.
(1) He wants to take him on the Camp to let him know he’s a part of his future plans giving him a little boost and to assess him up close before deciding if he is going to allow him to return on loan to Livvy or anywhere else.
(2) Rather than trying to buy another number 10 when we have Arfield and Dorrans as back up if required it’s likely that we will play with 2 up top on occasion and Gerrard wants to have 4 strikers as he likes a replacement for every player.
(3) Alfredo will be sold
Personally I think it’s option 2 after exploring option 1 initially.



08 Jan 2019 08:32:15
Hardies loan has finished main reason why he is back with the team also gives SG a good look at him can’t be any worse then Kyle L.



08 Jan 2019 10:58:09
Personally I'd go 2 up top in most games but the gaffer has shown a preference for 2 wide players, and expects them to drop back and protect their full back. I think you'll only see 2 up top when were struggling to break a team down that doesn't want to come out. He has already said young Ryan won't be brought back to warm the bench and let's face it does anybody see him starting. I'm pretty sure he's in the reef to make him feel he's in the gaffer's plans and get a good look at how he's progressed. Remember when he goes back to Livvy he will be playing against all our closest rivals and maybe that's where he can be of most use to us right now. Mark Allen has said Alfie is going nowhere this window but I think we all know if daft money is offered say 15m or more he will be off. there have been some rumours of big bids which have him staying the rest of the season. Personally I hope he stays at least until the summer but I'd be lying if I said his disciplinary record doesn't concern me, particularly after this week. All eyes will be on his every move now - if they weren't before. He has to start getting cuter and not react every time he feels cheated, we know he's getting wound up, probably nipped and all sorts off the ball. I'm hoping he can learn from Defoe, who's probably seen it all. If this kid screws the nut we could get 20m in the summer for him because there just aren't that many guys around who stick the ball in the net with that regularity.



08 Jan 2019 13:04:14
Awarded an extra day off by the manager, for the amount of running around he does.
Flys out to Tenerife a day later.



07 Jan 2019 11:58:14
Curtis Tilt (Blackpool centre back) will be signing a pre contract to join up in the summer.



07 Jan 2019 16:14:16
morelos might be and i say might be off.
Too much nah he ain't going no where
But i for one feel if the price is right then come on down.
Just feel the man is a time bomb who can't be controlled.
He is going to feel the big force of the sfa and referees in the 2nd half of the season.
We can't afford the suspensions he will unfortunately will occur.
Get a good price for him now and move on .
We will still have the fire power to move on without him.
And maybe 10 million at least for a player we bought for 1 million
Its a cash out i would take any day.



07 Jan 2019 16:55:04
Rabrfc Morelos is going nowhere but sometimes I wish that so-called fans like you would do one.



07 Jan 2019 17:21:13
Fabrfc hope your right.



07 Jan 2019 17:27:17
I thought this was a poem to start with 😂.



07 Jan 2019 19:56:39
morelos goes for more than 10 millon you see the market down south.



07 Jan 2019 20:34:11
How can folk want rid? He is by far the best forward in Scotland. Yes, he has disciplinary issues but he takes an absolute battering most games and is always being targeted for the wind up. He is improving on that front, but its also that passion and fight that makes him the player he is.

He's been our best player.



07 Jan 2019 21:36:48
I agree with Rabrfc this guy is not a committed team player he is all about himself and cannot control his impulses. His discipline record could be our undoing if we lose him for 3 games. He will always shoot and not pass even if someone else is open He does not show respect for Rangers or StevieG by not changing his attitude. Also why does he always look so bloody miserable on the pitch. Let's take the money and move forward.



07 Jan 2019 22:12:50
Why don't we just sell all of our best players, because that's what teams do to get better, NOT!
Seriously anybody who wants rid of Morelos needs their head checked. Did I just read someone said we should get rid of him because we miss him so much when he gets a suspension? So . . . Your idea is get rid of him so we can miss him completely, aye that makes perfect sense let's get rid of our top scorer for the last 2 seasons because we miss him so much when he gets suspended.
Some of our fans are actively chasing some of our best players out the door.
6counties you agreed with someone and said hopefully about Morelos being sold, where would we be this season without Morelos's goals, work rate and hold up play, you are genuinely hoping that our top scorer and one of our best 3 players is sold.



07 Jan 2019 22:38:13
wow could be our undoing if we lose him for 3 games, what if we lost him for the rest of the season like you lot are suggesting. sometimes i think even Morelos has more between his ears than some of you. and its the measure of a man because he looks miserable. would you prefer he wasnt scoring but walked about like a cheshire cat. honestly i don't understand some of you guys.



07 Jan 2019 22:43:36
I agree that everyone has his price, in an ideal world we keep him for another 18 months or till the end of the season at least.
£10m is probably what he’s worth but unless a player demands to leave you would expect bids of £15m plus before Rangers would even open negotiations and if it’s the BPL that’s his next destination then why not expect to hold out for £20m.



07 Jan 2019 05:37:31
Craig halkett of Livingston targeted by rangers as 5th signing.



07 Jan 2019 10:29:23
not good enough.



07 Jan 2019 12:51:07
Ginganinja12 so you know better than Gerrard doubt it.



07 Jan 2019 13:09:55
Aye lol.



07 Jan 2019 21:54:44
Definitely good enough - good strong center half . Will Hardie soften the blow and be a make weight? If not then pre contract would be a no brainer.



07 Jan 2019 01:28:16
Unbelievable signings fellow bears I really can't believe we have just signed Davis and Defoe.
These signing can't be underestimated as far as world football is concerned we are in the lower leagues as far as financial power is concerned. The cash that's being offered in China, turkey the states etc for us to get these 2 players to more or less finish their careers at our club is truly stunning.

The Stevie G effect. Well done to M Allan and the board. We may not be the richest club in Scotland but this window has shown the world that our club is the biggest and the media and the Tims know it.



07 Jan 2019 02:37:23
Great post Stewart🇬🇧👍.



07 Jan 2019 07:10:03
Couldnt agree more mate. The signing of Kamara will be another great piece of business. I've watched the videos of this guy and he really does look the part in Midfield.



{Ed0333's Note - I don’t see many club owners in China, USA or Turkey queuing up for a 36 year old Defoe, got to be honest.

07 Jan 2019 08:31:41
So Edd you are saying it’s a bad signing and a strange comment for yourself?



{Ed0333's Note - yes mate I don’t think he’ll be as prolific as you think.

07 Jan 2019 09:26:43
First time poster,
Watching and waiting these past years for us to genuinely challenge for our league title again, I have to echo Stewartyyblue and his post, I think every true supporter of our great club feels this same sense of excitement, this transfer window for the first time feels like we are adding the quality required to win matches and leagues, I hope Davis and Defoe prove u wrong Ed as I feel they will both hit the ground running and add the quality in the final third we have sorely lacked thus far this season.
The way both deals have been agreed shows us all that the board are investing but investing wisely.



{Ed0333's Note - I’m glad you’re excited about your transfers mate I really am. There’s nothing more exciting in football when you’re team buys a few players. I hope Defoe works out for you I’m more than happy to eat humble pie if he does.

07 Jan 2019 10:02:31
I kinda agree with Ed033. I don't think we will be getting the Defoe we hope. I don't think he will fail as such but I don't think its a master stroke i think its a gamble. Just remember Barton, Robbie Keane, Roy Keane, Andy Cole, Kranjar. But as Ed said and I concur, happy to eat humble pie on this one.



07 Jan 2019 10:42:42
For $24k per week, I don’t think we could ask for a better signing, the money it cost Celtic to bring Roy and Robbie keen even all those years ago dwarfs the quoted figures for Defoe, we could spend an awful lot more on an untested player and be left with a huge fee and wage for years to come.
I tend to think positively and think if I was signing for my mate I wouldn’t want to let him down Defoe could easily have went to most championship teams on loan but came to us to win medals, that will be his key driver, and the reason I think both him and Davis will make the difference in the second half of the season.



07 Jan 2019 11:06:11
Sydney. I do agree with you that he will not be coming up here to let SG down, he is after a medal which is perfect. But I just think it will be morelos who could get us over the line not so much defoe. I do think Davis is the big one for us. He is proven up here and will do the job we need.



07 Jan 2019 13:44:44
Ed I think my point got lost in my post. The point I was trying to make is that Defoe and Davis are still big names and everyone is talking about RANGERS again. I agree that it will prob not be the same Defoe of old however his experience imo will only benefit the likes of morelas, Hardie ECT in and around the training ground.
I also think that morelas will continue tobe our number 9 but in those games that we are struggling Defoe is potentially one of those players that you can bring on and score a vital goal to win us the game.



{Ed0333's Note - why didn’t you say that from the start now I’m picking up what you’re laying down mate 👍

07 Jan 2019 22:47:34
Regardless of how he does I’m certain if Defoe at this moment in time was publicly available that there would certainly be interest from the MLS that’s their business model they bring in players with big reputations from the top leagues nearing the end of their careers, he already played in it a few years back.



{Ed0333's Note - even the MLS ain’t that desperate anymore

07 Jan 2019 00:06:59
Rumour that Kamara may be coming sooner than thought with Dundee aiming to get a fee this month to spend on players for their relegation fight. Hope this is true as Kamara is a better overall midfielder than Coulibaly and could do a job when required.



07 Jan 2019 01:34:57
Coulibaly's a fantastic mid who suffered the loss of his dad and subsequent form. We saw how good he was late July. It's gone since then, but bereavement is why. It's telling that Kamara has 7 caps for Finland while Couly, several years younger, has approaching double that for Mali. Still, if Couli doesn't get his form back, reason regardless, his place is up for grabs.



07 Jan 2019 07:11:58
I read that Dundee would be looking to cash in on him now, rather than wait until the summer and get nothing for him. Hope he comes in NOW as I like the look of him and think he is exactly what we are looking for in this team set up.



07 Jan 2019 07:19:32
Coulibaly will not be coming back after the season end. Think kamara will take his place in the squad.



07 Jan 2019 08:34:15
Yeah got agree Paul and I reckon Coulibaly will return to his club. Started of great and has fell away through possible personal problems. I think Stevie G has lost confidence in him 👍.



07 Jan 2019 10:12:25
rfcrb1872 - Kamara is only 6 month older than Coulibaly.

At the end of the day we, like fans of other teams, can only hope that every new signing hits the ground running but the doom and gloom between our fans with every new signing is astonishing. could be great, could be crap lol let's just see how things go :)
