Sky reporting WBA bid £3m for Tavernier. Worth more than that for me.



08 Aug 2018 18:04:36
3 million and Matt Philips tell them and it’s a done deal👍🏼 If Armstrong and boyata are with in region 7-10 million surely tav is worth 12 million Dembele dollars?



08 Aug 2018 18:12:40
Agree.



08 Aug 2018 18:32:04
We don't have any players worth six seven million, both players mentioned are better than Tav, plenty caps, champion league experience and boyata World Cup games
We will get there with guys like Beresic, Katic etc.



08 Aug 2018 18:32:44
Bid will be rejected. Decision to be made by club and player if they come back in with a 4M bid.



08 Aug 2018 18:33:39
If £3m is an opening bid and Brighton are reportedly also interested and at this late stage in English transfer window we may receive in excess of £5m.
I think Flanagan is a better RB certainly in a defensive sense and if we were able to recycle the cash for a good striker (at SPFL level) for £4m I’d be happy with that.



08 Aug 2018 18:46:25
It's been rejected and so it should be! We don't need the 3m Tavernier is more valuable to us than 3m!



08 Aug 2018 18:58:27
JBoy21 in a league where Waghorn has just went for £5m plus add ons Tav is worth at least 7 or 8 million.



08 Aug 2018 19:13:09
Jboy21 boyata is a bombscare and
Armstrong was waaaayy overrated armstrong went form7 milliom with 1’year left ya person so is boyata so your sayin tavs not worth that with 3 years left! there's not a better right fullback in the league.



08 Aug 2018 19:22:11
3 million for Tavistock not a chance, WBA have just knocked back Watford who wanted Craig Dawson (defender) on loan and willing to buy him for 10m at the end of the loan, they were also going to pay WBA 750k for the loan period, WBA knocked this back saying Dawson is worth 20m, as he had a fantastic last season, yet here they are trying to steal Tav for peanuts, time we let the English teams know that we are not selling players for them to make big money on.



08 Aug 2018 19:25:54
Jboy, 100% spot on👍.



08 Aug 2018 19:34:36
Jboy Tav is more than equal in terms of talent to the players mentioned. That’s not biased opinion. That’s a fact!



08 Aug 2018 19:45:58
Guys all about opinions.



08 Aug 2018 20:02:59
7 million and not a penny less.



08 Aug 2018 20:29:35
20 odd goals and countless assists from a rightback - not to mention he is our captain and has been excellent so far this season- he has to be worth atleast 9 mil guys seriously english teams come in to the scottish market hopin for a bargain its time to get his worth as if he was already down there playin its the right way to do it.



08 Aug 2018 22:12:56
He will have a buy out clause just like windass, at the end of the day if he is offered double his salary and the buy out is met, the decision is down to him.



08 Aug 2018 22:29:24
I would say don't put any price on him, we need to keep the players we have and build on that, it's the only way we will get better. With every player that signs now the first 11 and squad as a whole is looking stronger and stronger. Does anyone know if the speculation on Hodzic is just that or is there substance to it, he's a good age 23 and looks pretty decent.



08 Aug 2018 22:30:59
tavs worth more than 3m guys - i reckon at least 5m if not more. he’s our captn and under 3yr contract

played as a wingback with proper keeper cntr halves and defensive mid behind him i think tav wld be even better for us if he had license to get forward and had more cover behind him

i’ve always liked the guy - ok his defensive side needs work but if he was a great defender as well as good going forward warbs wldnt have got him and waggy for 450k!

he gets a goal or assist almost every 2nd game that’s superb for a defender - i’d keep him unless offer is crazy.



08 Aug 2018 23:18:42
Jboy you say we don’t have any player worth 6 or 7 million.
I don’t quite agree and I think by the end of the season we will have about 6 . yes 6 players.



09 Aug 2018 06:29:40
Mols possible. But not today
Which six u referring to.



09 Aug 2018 09:24:00
Express stating tav has three million buy out clause. We knocked back 1.8.



09 Aug 2018 09:50:32
Price is now set at 5 million. Fair enough I think.



09 Aug 2018 11:09:25
"there's not a better right fullback in the league".
Half of the people on here don't even rate him as a defender.



09 Aug 2018 11:24:10
Everyone on here saying this player is worth this n that, said it before a player is only worth what a club will bid for him.



09 Aug 2018 11:50:14
I'd want around 9m before considering anything for Tav.



09 Aug 2018 12:22:56
You're wrong there Deemc22. If we were wanting to sell then the player is only worth what someone is willing to pay. But we're not wanting to sell so Tavernier is worth whatever we say he is.



09 Aug 2018 16:20:11
I'd say mols means goldson Katic barasic and morelos. Don't see another 2 tbh.



09 Aug 2018 23:43:15
Jack. McGregor . Arfield., Rossitor (if fit) Tav. Morelos . Katic. Goldson . barasic . possibly couibally.
These could very easily come in to a 6:7 million valuation in my opinion.



08 Aug 2018 17:40:33
£3m offer from West Brom been confirmed by ssn for Tavernier- he's got to be worth more than this surely?



{Ed039's Note - I think a wee bit more and he is gone)

08 Aug 2018 17:45:32
4-5mil and he will be gone, just reality👍.



08 Aug 2018 17:46:08
What happens if Flanagan gets injured?



08 Aug 2018 17:52:24
A wee bit more as in closer to 8 million. 3 million is poor.



08 Aug 2018 17:59:16
Hes English still young he's our captain played every game for past 3/ 4 seasons. Scores goals and assists from right back. If wee virgin lips tierney is worth 25 mill so is Tavernier!



08 Aug 2018 18:05:02
He doesn't play lumie?



08 Aug 2018 18:11:18
£5m I’d say was a starting point to negotiate, but £3m is a joke!



08 Aug 2018 18:13:37
4 or 5 million is fair but who can we bring in on short notice . Callum Paterson?



08 Aug 2018 18:28:37
Why should we sell, I've a feeling SG is building something special here. Surely he'll not want to go to West Brom anyway?



08 Aug 2018 18:33:26
We can't hold on to players just in case Flanagan gets injured, mccrorie can play there so can Ryan jack
So no panic for me.



08 Aug 2018 18:34:52
Paterson as back up to Flanagan is a decent shout and recycle the rest for a good striker.



08 Aug 2018 18:45:13
Wouldnt be ideal but I reckon Candeias could fill in there to if it really came to it.



08 Aug 2018 18:56:46
Calum Paterson value has probably shot right up to around 7m now Couldn't afford him

There is no reason why Tavernier shouldn't be at least that as was better than Calum Paterson in the SPL.



08 Aug 2018 19:24:43
We’ve rejected the bid👍.



08 Aug 2018 20:48:04
Even the West Brom fans think their team are chancing it with the Tav offer. Fair enough he’s not the greatest defender but his stats at going forward don’t lie.



08 Aug 2018 20:48:46
Claim Paterson has been reinvented in the number 10 role at Cardiff. No chance Warnock will let him go unless it's for silly money. A non starter. The big fella can't defend for toffee anyway.



08 Aug 2018 22:48:18
Jack CDM, Mcrorie CDM and Candeias RM why do people always want to play players in the wrong positions it makes no sense. Play players in there best positions simple and I guarantee if you sell Tav and play some random player at RB everyone would start moaning about his performance saying they are a liability. I thought Jack played really well against Aberdeen so why would you play him at RB just to get 5 mil for Tav. I know people are just expressing their opinions but come on it doesn't make sense.



08 Aug 2018 23:21:16
Upwards of 5 million for me with add ons.



09 Aug 2018 01:19:52
Agree with jordy, who in their right mind would play Jack, McCrorie or Candeias as a fullback? Seriously Gerrard has played at the highest level and people think he’s that Mickey Mouse to do this?



09 Aug 2018 03:40:34
Guys, you're getting excited about nothing really.
Tav does not want to go anywhere.!
I'm sure if a really big club came in with serious money he would go, but not to the clubs or fees mentioned.
Let's Go ♥️🙏💙⚽👍🇺🇸🥂.



08 Aug 2018 17:53:47
Think you’re right Ed. I reckon £4 mill plus sell on and it will be accepted. More importantly do we think he would want to leave?



{Ed039's Note - apparently Rangers have rejected all bids and told West Brom Tav isn’t for sale)

08 Aug 2018 14:35:46
Docherty to Shrewsbury 1 year Loan - done deal. Hope he does well down there and comes back the better for it.



08 Aug 2018 15:24:15
I'm surprised that he hasn't been able to convince SG that he can play a part this season, but somehow Halliday has managed it. Good luck to him.



{Ed039's Note - it came out quite early that SG was impressed with Halliday)

08 Aug 2018 15:43:49
Not sure you can compare Docherty to Halliday. Docherty needs regular first team football to continue his development, halliday is a seasoned pro who can fill in when injuries dictate, and also play several positions.



08 Aug 2018 15:54:52
Halliday doesn't half get some stick from the supporters, and it's completely unjust. He's a good squad player who can come in and do a job in a few positions. He's got a great attitude and isn't afraid of a tackle. He also loves the club. SG clearly has this opinion also so wouldn't it be great if people got off his case and backed him when he plays.

As for Docherty, yeah he's got far more talent and potential than Halliday. That's why he's being allowed to go on loan and carry on learning by playing first team football. Two players at different stages in their careers with different things to offer. Good luck to both.



08 Aug 2018 16:25:00
Good post gooner and a lot of sense unlike those halliday bashers that don't see the big picture.



08 Aug 2018 16:46:57
What's the big picture halliday might love the club and can in theory play a number of positions but he isn't good enough in any of the positions and the sooner he leaves the quicker we can move on to a better quality team.



08 Aug 2018 16:49:17
Just because you love the club and like a tackle doesn’t mean you should be playing for rangers. Halliday’s second touch usually is a tackle! He gets stick because he simply isn’t good enough. I’d much rather have a younger player coming through than Halliday who hasn’t shown anything since being in the top flight that suggests he's cut out for it.



08 Aug 2018 17:25:45
End of day SG rates Halliday, nearly twenty players out since start of last season, well done mark Allen, I include players we had on loan that so many want us to sign.



08 Aug 2018 17:43:28
Halliday is happy to be a bit part player and sit on the bench mostly to be a squad player- Docherty isn’t, he wants to play and develop that’s the difference! These two players can’t be compared.



08 Aug 2018 18:35:34
Geocaching they can be compared, u r right re Halliday, but he can provide cover on occasion
Docherty will be the better player for loan.



08 Aug 2018 18:41:30
I’m not so sure Stevie does rate Halliday tbh basically Wallace and Johns have been injured all season and he uses Halliday as a back up left back.
The fact he is a Bluenose won’t do him any harm either as Stevie G knows the value of having that type of influence in the changing room so it is win win keeping him at this stage. Personally I think he will go to Livingston or Dundee sort of level on loan or kept as back up at v best now Johns is returning to fitness to challenge our new signing Barisic for LB role.
I’m not surprised Docherty was allowed to go and develop further especially if we allowed Holt to go who is more consistent.



08 Aug 2018 23:54:23
Jboy21, I never said Docherty wouldn’t be a better player for the loan- I’m hoping majorly that he is! My point is just that- we need to let Doc go on loan because he won’t get the game time he needs with us, he’s young, enthusiasticac and wants to play every game- SG can’t keep him happy sitting on a bench as a squad player! Halliday on the other hand has been for a few seasons now a squad player happy to play a bit part- this is the reason the 2 players can’t be compared! Doc wants to progress and Halliday is content being part of the squad.



09 Aug 2018 03:44:26
Guys, Haliday is a decent squad member, versatile, a true blue local lad that will prove an excellent help to all the new players and staff
Trust in Stevie G 👍💙⚽♥️.



08 Aug 2018 13:25:08
Gerrard said he's not interested in any Bosnian players. was hoping we would sign hodzic he looks a player.



08 Aug 2018 13:42:37
He's not wanting to draw too much attention on the matter I believe.



08 Aug 2018 14:37:15
BOY DOES LOOK GOOD.



08 Aug 2018 18:37:53
Caw5?same Croatian media who said barisic was on way to Edinburgh state hodson flying to Glasgow tomorrow.
Here's hoping.



08 Aug 2018 19:00:52
Hodsic sorry folks, I hate predictive text.



08 Aug 2018 22:53:38
Media also like to make up nonsense. why would Gerrard say we don't have an interest then?



08 Aug 2018 13:02:08
I am hearing Rangers are enquiring about Munir from Barcelona on loan

Let's hope this is true About time Rangers got serious and went for real quality I think he would be s decent bit of quality

Anyone else hear about this one?



08 Aug 2018 14:02:44
Would love to believe you kaz, I really would, but after your delusion yesterday its very hard to take you seriously👍.



08 Aug 2018 14:14:00
Purely fabricated rumour in my opinion, Barcelona and Madrid don't have a great perception of Scottish football so i doubt they will send someone they rate highly to further his trade in the scottish leagues.



08 Aug 2018 14:39:10
Well Barcelona have sold us players before I don't see a loan deal harming the player as long as we are involved in European football

Coldo you were pissing lots of people off yesterday Get your facts right at least before you start spouting nonsense.



08 Aug 2018 15:10:48
Now Now! Boys as we are all bluenoses🇬🇧😜.



08 Aug 2018 15:15:57
Round 2 😂😂🥊🥊.



08 Aug 2018 15:59:55
"Well barcelona have sold us players before" that's what you're using to defend your "rumour", you're the gift that keeps on giving kaz👍. Spouting nonsense🤔, am not the one that claimed windass is a 15mil player🙃. I think I'll put you back in my pocket, bored playing with you😂.



08 Aug 2018 16:10:58
Still stick by him being a potential 15m player If he were to go down to the Championship and have a good to cracking season.



08 Aug 2018 16:23:41
If's and but's, if's and but's. If I won the lottery I could be a millionaire. If my aunt had bawz 👍.



08 Aug 2018 16:46:16
If your aunt had baws you'd be taken anal 😂😂😂.



08 Aug 2018 17:03:15
😂😂 that escalated quickly, don't make me start having to make jokes about your maw kaz😂😂.



08 Aug 2018 17:26:38
Coldco, Katz grow up, u guys r getting very boring.



08 Aug 2018 18:05:29
Braww laugh is needed sometimes hahaha.



08 Aug 2018 18:40:56
Not with the foul disgusting language. I've now asked my young daughter to use this site thanks to u.



08 Aug 2018 19:17:41
Sorry Jboy21 I'll make sure it doesn't happen again 👍🏼.



08 Aug 2018 19:24:23
Foul disgusting language, easy Jboy. Its just a bit of fun, and if you are refering to anal then you need to get out more👍.



08 Aug 2018 19:36:04
Apologies if your daughter was offended👍.



08 Aug 2018 19:49:01
Coldco u want your 13 yr old daughter reading that stuff.
If folk can't come on here without using foul language, they should not bother.
Cheers to u kazmania.



08 Aug 2018 19:57:05
I know it's 2018! Sorry if your daughter was offended 👍🏼.



08 Aug 2018 20:12:15
Your right jboy, no offence was intended👍, I hope your happy with yourself kaz, got us both in trouble.



08 Aug 2018 20:49:43
Lol coldco, that sounds like big boy done it and ran away.
Let's go.



08 Aug 2018 20:58:06
Just making light of it jboy👍.



08 Aug 2018 12:43:53
I think at 6pm tomorrow gerrard will know if he can get anyone else from liverpool ie solanke.



08 Aug 2018 20:50:27
Fintyint i'd prefer the two Bosnian lads signed instead of loan deals.



08 Aug 2018 12:14:06
Rangers enquiring abit Steven Caulker?

Think that's a sensible back up for CB if you ask me. 26 years old, premier league experience.



08 Aug 2018 12:18:09
Caulker can also cover right back.



08 Aug 2018 12:20:13
About*.



08 Aug 2018 13:43:24
Csulker would be an amazing signing just hope he keeps the heed straight.



08 Aug 2018 16:48:47
We took a risk with Gazza and he was a class act and more often than not Walter was able to control him

I know they don't quite come in the same category but still think he is a risk worth taking he is a quality player and may be better around better players and has an international for England.



08 Aug 2018 12:10:21
Reading reports that rangers and Leeds Utd are both looking to sign Steven Caulker has he left Dundee.



08 Aug 2018 18:43:41
Apparently Leeds are close to securing a £1.5m transfer for him.



08 Aug 2018 12:01:03
El buffalo red cad recorded.



08 Aug 2018 12:48:42
Rescinded.



08 Aug 2018 13:25:23
How many times did this happen last season?



08 Aug 2018 13:27:04
Auto correct mate.



08 Aug 2018 14:17:12
I hope retrospective action is taken against Clancy and his officials. No point continuing to cock up decisions with anyone been held accountable just because they can be rescinded, Rescinding does not make up for lost points.



08 Aug 2018 14:25:52
Thought so man. Funny you still got unbelievable votes. .



08 Aug 2018 16:52:18
The sad thing about refs getting punished is that they just get moved down a division, so they can make bad decisions there as well, then they come straight back up and make more bad decisions again. Makes zero sense.



08 Aug 2018 07:57:42
Brighton preparing bid for Tav. Sell or keep?



08 Aug 2018 08:14:38
Everyone has their price. I’d be looking at £5m plus.



08 Aug 2018 08:20:44
Keep of course unless it's a bid that can't be refused

James Tavernier is worth at least 7m
Josh Windass is worth at least 3m.



08 Aug 2018 08:45:56
5.5 mill plus % of next sell on? that's min i would sell.



08 Aug 2018 08:59:23
we should ask them if they think he's going to be first choice, if they say yes then you'd have to think a first choice premier league right back would cost 10 million minimum.

id keep him though. he's one of our best players and he clearly loves the club.



08 Aug 2018 09:02:06
Windass £2m plus 20% sell on clause. Tav £4m would be good business if you consider we have paid half that for Barisic and we could move Flanagan to RB.
I’d keep John for cover at LB and with Hodson away and Wallace more than likely to exit freeing up wages and £2m left over from Tav to get in competition at RB.
Then just need boy from Dynamo Zagreb and i'd still take Lafferty for £400k.



08 Aug 2018 09:04:28
I prefer to keep him too mate he's our current captain.



08 Aug 2018 09:04:46
I wouldn't sell him yet as I think he's only getting better. Plus, I love his enthusiasm for the club and that's infectious for new arrivals. I would love to see him lift it at the end of t THIS season.



08 Aug 2018 09:22:11
Take into consideration that Fullham are willing to play 9 million for a total bomb scare defender in Boyata, Tav is worth at least 10 imo. Hope we don't sell him tho.



08 Aug 2018 09:29:41
If that mob across the city are getting offered bids of 8 million for Armstrong and 9 million for boayata then we should be looking for the same money for tav.



08 Aug 2018 09:32:51
I think SG had wind of this hence buys a left back who will be first pick and Flanagan has been solid so he will automatically revert to his favoured position. I think we need to play hard ball with Brighton as they did with Gouldson. No less than 5 million for me. Easy in going rate.



08 Aug 2018 10:06:37
Lads let not forget how bad a right back Tav actually is. If you play him further forward yes he has great potential but if we're talking simple right back I'd take 3-4 million and run! He's been found out Many a time. Flanagan is a better right back.



08 Aug 2018 10:13:02
When is window closed in England? Tomorrow? If we sold tav who plays left back if Flanagan goes to the right?



08 Aug 2018 10:20:44
Barisic, for Maribor game it would be Halliday.



08 Aug 2018 10:22:13
Thursday night.



08 Aug 2018 10:25:14
Barasic Mprent.



08 Aug 2018 10:28:38
Tav - Wouldn't sell for less than £25m, given the current English market. He's our captain. We are Glasgow Rangers. Let's stop this nonsense of being ripped off. Look at what Celtic get for poor players.

I think we should look at £1.3 as very fair for Windass, and I'd take anything upwards of 50p for Fod.



08 Aug 2018 10:29:34
Barisic or declan john.



08 Aug 2018 10:41:04
Sorry guys I wasn’t clear. I meant who would play left back tomorrow night as Barasic can’t play. Was assuming John would be off as well.



08 Aug 2018 11:04:55
This one is an interesting one. Tav is not only our captain, but he’s started the season in rich form and been at the centre of most of our goals in pre season and Euro qualifiers. Still defensive frailties and looks to me like Gerard favours players that can defend first in his back 4. With hodson away, Wallace awol I would be concerned about strength of bench for cover in full back and centre half cover should we cash in. North of £6m would seem like good business and the Windass one for £2.5 would offset the current cost of the fees for players we have brought in, so I would hope we would still be looking to bring in a versatile quality left sided centre back and also a quality centre forward as replacements. This is where the EPL transfer window closure will create opportunity for us.



08 Aug 2018 12:55:55
Tav 25 mil😩, if we get in the region of 5mil we will be doing well👍.



08 Aug 2018 14:44:25
10 MILLION NO LESS. ARMSTRONG 7 MILLION REALLY. AND YOUD TAKE 5 FOR TAV. ENGLAND ARE PAYING 10 MILL FOR ANYBODY RIGHT NOW. TAV GOOD GOING FORWARD GOOD AT FREE KICKS GOOD CROSSING AND HE IS ENGLISH. (ENGLISH CLUBS LOVE THAT) IF WE DO WELL THIS YEAR OUR PLAYER VALUES WILL ROCKET. KEEP THE FAITH.



08 Aug 2018 16:10:31
"Good going forward", he's a defender! You've just burst your own argument. What you have to realise is that armstrong is an international with champions league experience. Tav has neither and gets caught out defensively often. This is he is not worth 25 mil or 10mil👍.



08 Aug 2018 07:05:19
Anyone know what's happening with Foderingham?



08 Aug 2018 08:04:49
I'd say staying as looks like Alnwick on loan to Bristol.



08 Aug 2018 09:00:58
He's been dropped.



08 Aug 2018 12:51:21
£1.3 for Windass gooner you having a laugh mate I’d be holding out for£3 million fed up getting mugged off by English teams Waghorn as just joined derby for £5 million.



08 Aug 2018 16:50:41
Why would you sell fod get rid of alnwick horrific keeper McGregor and fod should be left to fight it out for the no 1 jersey with 1 of the young keepers as back up.
