Ed's is there any truth in the rumour we are interested in Dykes? I know someone he was close to from his time at queen of the south (I live next door to Palmerston) who has told me he would jump at the chance of European football. Thanks.
{Ed002's Note - Lyndon Dykes (S) Rangers are concerned that his price will be rising and may opt to move early. The player will want to see how the season pans out and has no interest in the decalred interest of Burnley. Brighton and Hove Albion have been watching Dykes and another QPR player.}
17 Jan 2022 14:59:27
Hopefully not. he's garbage.
17 Jan 2022 15:10:51
Thanks for the quick reply much appreciated. In my opinion he is an upgrade on Itten. Gives us a different option when we play against 11 defenders.
17 Jan 2022 15:26:09
Agreed we could of prob had him for itten Money.
17 Jan 2022 15:41:37
Rfc92 we definitely could have. Over the course of the season I’m almost certain his numbers would be better than Ittens. ( assists and goals )
17 Jan 2022 16:50:42
Ffs we are fecked if this is the strikers we are going for.
17 Jan 2022 17:05:00
Storm, 8 goal involvements in the championship ( 6 goals ) in 19 appearances 21/ 22 purely as a target man against some top teams and top defenders. Surely a bit far fetched, with the squad we have and the quality we have with tav and barisic, to say we are “fekd†targeting dykes. You don’t score 4 goals consecutively for Scotland by accident.
17 Jan 2022 17:32:58
Gio because he is an upgrade in your opinion does not make him good enough for rangers or champions league.
17 Jan 2022 17:41:19
Don’t believe a word of that! No chance is he coming I’ve never seen a worse player in a Scotland jersey. Although the last few games he did do well and arguably got us where we are with last minute goals etc. but let’s not get sentimental, this boy is complete trash!
17 Jan 2022 17:43:21
Completely agree john25 he is not proven at either level but not ever player we sign is. But we all seem to be optimistic over sands. He is doing well in the championship and I would give him a chance.
17 Jan 2022 17:56:03
Dykes isn’t what we are after surly .
17 Jan 2022 18:01:42
GOA Dykes is not good enough for us and never will be how many of those goals were pens And I know they still count but he just isn’t good enough so yes if that’s the players we are going for we are fecked IMO.
17 Jan 2022 18:27:22
Agree. But sands unknown quantity, dykes is no where near the standard we seek. Nor is itten.
17 Jan 2022 18:28:38
I've always wanted a big centre forward at rangers as you can tell by my name but no way is dykes good enough. I'd give itten another chance for now as we have enough forwards my only fear is the board are not backing gio the same as they backed Gerrard.
17 Jan 2022 18:38:01
John25 that was my overall point if the management team see Itten is good enough I can’t see why dykes isn’t better. There is a load of strikers I would pick before dykes let me be clear!
17 Jan 2022 18:47:49
Personally wouldn't want dykes anywhere near our team.
17 Jan 2022 19:13:57
Itten is way better than Dykes J25.
17 Jan 2022 19:28:28
People need to remember when we got itten he just recovered from a serious knee injury and can sometimes take aplayed to find Thier spark again. But Alfredo looked terrible under Gerrard at the end who knows maybe maakay and gio will get more out of him. Give guy a chance.
17 Jan 2022 21:59:20
Itten can’t score if he dosnt get minutes.
17 Jan 2022 22:35:51
Dykes is a good centre forward who I wanted over Itten. In SG's 'wisdom' he elected for Itten, in a move which made the sort of sense most of SG's signings did. I think Itten deserves a crack, a real proper shot, but I do rate Dykes as a very straight forward and solid striker. 6 goals 2 assists in Championship in 19 appearances is decent for a midrange team, pity QPR are a top 4 team. Would I take him? I think that moment has passed now.
17 Jan 2022 23:23:56
If we are all honest there is not a player good enough for champions league in the rangers squad look at the champions league teams and tell me what players would get in they teams Barcelona are in the europa 😂.
18 Jan 2022 00:46:36
I'll tell you who would be a good striker for us.
Danilo Pereira da Silva is a Brazilian striker who plays for Ajax and will have his contract with them ended in the summer. He will be 23 in the summer. He plays in the Eredivisie. He scored 17 goals in 34 appearances for Twente last season and has scored 4 goals in 10 appearances for Ajax this season.
He wasn't rumoured for a move here, but the Daily Record said he could be a possible striker for us when Gio came.
Given that he plays in the Netherlands, I think he would be familiar with Gio's style of play. It seems like a no brainer for us to sign him if he doesn't renew his contract or sign for another club in the summer.
18 Jan 2022 09:57:39
Never heard of him mate, based on what you say, maybe.
18 Jan 2022 23:02:14
Dykes most certainly isn't the answer but neither is Itten. He simply isn't suited to Scottish Football. He is outmuscled by Scottish defenders, he struggles in the air in the SPFL and he lacks aggression! being honest, the only reason that I can see as to why he has had his loan cancelled was because he wasn't getting game time and there was no way that they were going to spend £3m signing him in the summer.
19 Jan 2022 12:36:26
Dykes may be better than itten, However we should be looking for strikers that are better than Morelos. Upgrade on your best players not your squad players. That doesn't necessarily mean spending big either we got Morelos for a 1million snippet.
