Joan Jordan deal off, club pulled out.
28 Jul 2024 17:11:34
Just seen that with H&H sharing a 180 after saying he was ?.
28 Jul 2024 17:20:25
Would have been nice to recruit a player of his caliber but too many reports saying he did not fancy it. We don’t need any more players who don’t want to be here. For the best, no doubt.
28 Jul 2024 17:25:58
Just read again and I quote "the player (jordan) didn't fancy coming to Ibrox".
28 Jul 2024 17:33:20
It's very surprising we persevered for best part of 2 weeks when it was being reported from Spain he had reservations I'd thought we had to agree a deal with Saville to approach the guy maybe that's what happened he's told Kippen he doesn't want to come.
28 Jul 2024 17:36:18
Why waste time, least we have money for quality signings.
28 Jul 2024 17:39:15
I know where you're coming from Co. Antrim as the reports coming from spain when we were first linked with jordan was he didn't want to come to scotland and wanted to remain in spain but some didn't believe We move on and we only want players that want to be at rangers ?I was sick posting this.
28 Jul 2024 18:22:49
Sirwalt, your sick of everyone now. Chill out my friend.
28 Jul 2024 18:38:38
Walter, so u saying our recruitment team did not believe
Just like we were r sick reading it.
28 Jul 2024 18:40:26
Over the hill Spanish midfielder who probably wouldn't be suited to the league and who'd cost more in wages than it probably would for us to sign Miller. It's painful to watch us fumble this badly.
28 Jul 2024 18:49:29
Maybe if Rangers pulled out it's because they might have a better alternative in mind?
28 Jul 2024 18:51:29
It's crazy how emotive the reactions are to rumours.
Shame this one didn't happen, think he would have completed the new midfield - which I was expect will line up with a 6 and two 8's.
28 Jul 2024 17:55:28
Sws who didn't believe this?
28 Jul 2024 17:57:43
There's a difference between media reports and what the actual player wants/ thinks. We must have had some form of encouragement from the players end to come back in for him, could be a dozen different reasons why he didn't fancy it. Some have every right not to believe you and some may be sick reading your nonsense.
28 Jul 2024 18:02:50
I don't think we can afford him. It saves face to say he didn't want to come but Sevilla needed us to pay 60% of his 100k wages. We are trying to offload high earners, not bring in more.
28 Jul 2024 18:04:04
John we probably tried to change his mind after it looks like his move to Betis is not happening.
I know sirwalterOBE, this has been said by plenty of people on here but one or two have this constant need to be correct. We discuss what we read in the media and whether its right or wrong is no fault of us posters.
28 Jul 2024 18:54:57
Well said John and sws.
28 Jul 2024 19:03:39
Quality signings?
Stop gap as it was a loan. People need to face reality that we were and still are living beyond our means.
It’s a huge transitional period now and there is a big push to reduce wage bill and overspending on players that can be signed on a lot less and achieve the same outcome.
The fact that we have not spent any significant money and we are nearly into August paints its own picture.
I will be very surprised if there are any additions before the CL deadline on 1st of August and fully expect the current squad to be the one facing Hearts at Tynecastle.
28 Jul 2024 19:24:58
A loan to buy it was and are we really making out a kid with one decent season at Motherwell is now better than a guy with 2 Europa league medals who played in arguably the best league on the planet now. Arteta done ok for being Spanish in Scotland.
28 Jul 2024 19:36:48
I’m sure we have a list of potential targets.
28 Jul 2024 19:43:52
I would 100% be happier with miller as long as we persevere and play the youth it will pay us back for the next decade much more than the last decade.
28 Jul 2024 19:44:48
Raskin don't think anyone said that about Miller they said they would rather pay 3m for him.
28 Jul 2024 19:50:46
Anymore news on Hannibl? He's someone I'd like us to get.
28 Jul 2024 19:57:46
It's all good and dandy on paper, then they find out they're going to get pumped with 45% income tax flat rate on anything over £150K. Being offered £30k week to then end up banking only around £18K. Not worth it for some foreign players.
28 Jul 2024 20:20:21
20 always he isn’t on 100k he is on 69k 2
Posts the day and both wrong ?.
28 Jul 2024 20:21:05
In USA so unlikely we could sign him on time.
28 Jul 2024 20:22:14
Onewalter he was close to going elsewhere.
It was a stop gap the Spanish boy it was a loan with option to buy but no way would we be paying 4 million euros for a player who would be 31 by next season.
28 Jul 2024 20:27:08
Wonder where we spend the 60 euro a week wage we were giving Jordan, I want at least two possible three starters for that.
28 Jul 2024 20:54:35
The positive from the Jordan outcome is that we do have money to make the required ‘quality’ signing. And IMO we showed a desire to sign a top player. However it didn’t work out, and we all need to see these things happen in football.
I praise Koppen and PC in their attempts to improve our 1st 11 and we may not get the Porto player either but I do not believe it is for want of trying (or that we are naively trying to sign players out of our range) .
Much as it disappoints me to not have more big players in yet, I believe all at Rangers are trying to do this, whilst at the same time moving on those we don’t want or who don’t want us.
So for me I am happy seeing all the rumors, as some work out, some don’t and others are amusing…
Just a little disappointing of late seeing the ‘point scoring’ on here… when let’s face it, we all want the same thing. A happy well run and successful club who are back in CL and winning premierships.

We need to reduce the wage bill, not give out more ridiculous wage contracts.
