Couple of red tops writing Kent to be resigned? U really hope not but if he does only till end of season and reassess.
03 Jan 2025 07:45:19
do not think kent should be resigned had his chance.
03 Jan 2025 07:51:49
Kent back in a free in a no brainer imo .
If the lad has his fitness then he’s better than what we have. Get him in to the end of the season then who knows.
Get Shankland in on small fee, shanks is playing in a in ? Hearts team, but he’ll still get ya goals. He over weight, he’s slow, he's downed tools all pish get him in see him score for fun . What’s not to like rangers boy and Scottish.
03 Jan 2025 07:52:42
Was told 8 weeks ago this was happening but just ignored it as I didn't think it was going to happen but story now picking up pace. Personally hope he doesn't sign.
03 Jan 2025 07:53:15
I couldn’t wait to get rid. And I don’t know how feasible it is, but if it was low wage til the end of the season then I think he’s a better option than Matondo and probably Cortes, then you can reassess in the summer. My gut says no but we don’t really have the resource to find better in January i reckon. Stranger things have happened.
03 Jan 2025 08:00:33
Wouldn't take him back. Flattered to deceive more often than not. We have Cortes for the left (if he can stay fit) . We should be looking to try and sign Cerny permanently.
03 Jan 2025 08:18:28
Hope not but If he comes make it performance related. Going by last few seasons he wouldn't cost a penny.
03 Jan 2025 08:19:02
Naw just naw, shankland mince every window 3 goals beat it. Being nice here.
03 Jan 2025 08:45:43
Personally, if we can sign Kent on a deal that is on our terms (wages) then it’s a no brainer. Yes he had a poor last year or 18 months, BUT, sometimes the grass isn’t always greener on the other side. He’ll know that now, and that’s ok. He tried something different and it didn’t work. He will be motivated now.
He has genuine quality. Probably becomes our best LW right now, so he strengthens our 11 (which strengthens our squad (loan out Matondo with buy option) . He attracts more than one player because he has flair, which creates gaps for others. He always won us penalties too, and oh boy, have I missed them. Kent was exceptional the season we got the the Europa league final.
03 Jan 2025 09:15:03
Only way I’d consider it is if it was on low wages, we don’t have a lot of money we need to focus most of it on sorting out the defence. But left wing is still an issue for me matondo is no where near good enough and Cortes can’t stay fit. We will see what happens but if he comes back I think he would come back with a point to prove.
03 Jan 2025 09:27:02
I mean, he's free and would give us added depth in the forward areas. Improvement on Matondo so why not.
03 Jan 2025 09:36:15
Thought he was extreme wasteful, and his stats prove that. I’m not for saying players shouldn’t come back, Steven Davis is proof that a player can be successful in a second stint but Lent simply wasn’t good enough.
Thought the lad had great ability but didn’t have any kind of football brain. Loved a cross over or no look pass on the half way line when it didn’t matter. All show.
03 Jan 2025 09:56:35
Kent takes us backwards at a time we are trying to progress.
03 Jan 2025 10:02:05
agree Chains and not saying whether I want him or not but if the recruitment team who think that Igamane, Cerny, Kelly, Dio, et al are good enough I will leave it to them to decide whether Kent is right for the team. If he comes back he will get my full support like the others.
03 Jan 2025 10:02:36
Good news then if the tabloids are printing this story, which means it is likely to be lies.
03 Jan 2025 10:19:51
On top of what was already said, I think it's worth pointing out that kents play style fits very well with how PC likes his wingers to play (starting wide and cutting inside) . More so that Gios system did where he was asked to stay wide.
If we can strike a deal on our terms (short term with the potential for extensions ideally) then we'd be foolish to pass it up.
03 Jan 2025 10:22:41
Kent aye Shankland aye right get a grip couldn't hit a bison on the bum with a banjo.
03 Jan 2025 10:28:41
Wishy Cortes can't stay fit but his only injuries have happened at Rangers, cool.
03 Jan 2025 10:35:34
MrPotatoHead, how does Kent take us backwards in this moment? He’s literally waaay better than Matondo, and better than Cortes (Cortes hasn’t been fit enough to prove it yet) . If wages are lower, it makes sense, especially for 6 months with an option of extending if he performs, and you can loan out Matondo. No brainer.
That move allows us to move forward in the short term and then we can reevaluate it in the summer. Also means the money we have now, can go elsewhere, like a CB. A CB who starts every week would be lovely.
03 Jan 2025 10:46:17
Hes not played in 6 months and not even trained in 3 so with our famous sport science team would we be expecting to get much out of him?
That said, if he was to come in he would be a better option than matondo and dowell in wide areas and if fit would potentially be an asset.
I'm very much in on the fence with this one, if there is any truth to it but with little/ no money I guess we can't be too picky.
03 Jan 2025 10:47:25
Mystar do you have to argue every point he’s been at the club a year and he’s not been able to stay fit? Did I say he was injury prone before we signed him? We are talking about the here and now and the reality is he hasn’t been available. I’m not saying he won’t come good I hope he does, kent on low wages and a free would be a better option than matondo and it would put less pressure on Cortes if we had the two of them.
03 Jan 2025 11:05:30
Simple, Chasni.
Isn’t match fit.
Treated Rangers and the fans with contempt in his final year.
Would demand a huge wages.
And was part of the squad that failed to deliver trophies year after year.
And more importantly he’s inconsistent and not as good as many ( and himself ) think he is.
Squad player at best - for the B Team?.
03 Jan 2025 11:09:00
Kent i'd not needed his numbers were rotten. Sima showed us last season and cerny this year exactly what we need from our wingers. Kent is thick as and does not have the footballing brain to understand when to release the ball and where to go to change his numbers. Getting rid of him the right thing but the fact he dragged his heels that we got no money shouldn't be forgotten. Kent probably thought he was the best player to pull on the famous jersey. I hope we don't even speak to him again let alone sign him.
03 Jan 2025 11:20:10
Kent on his day is unplayable and imo on his day would be the best player at the club a lot of games there were 2 men marking him he was that good.
03 Jan 2025 11:23:37
Kent is a no brainer if its on our terms and a short deal, better than any wide players we have and I'll include cortes in that.
03 Jan 2025 11:44:57
Oppin only shanks on a free
no brainer
Decent accent too have
Always a goal in him
Kent is a hard one
On a free mmm could be decent honestly
Give a trial see too end of season
See if it works out.
03 Jan 2025 11:49:27
Star what's with the snide remarks too folk like they don't speak the truth, regardless of whether Cortes has injuries prior to us is irrelevant. Since the boy has been here he has hardly kicked a ball as he has been INJURED! SO wishys comment of he can't stay fit is justified, stop digging folk out because you want to be right on a player every once in a while lol.
03 Jan 2025 12:41:10
Argue on every post wishy? lol.
03 Jan 2025 12:18:19
I've never been a big fan of Kent but he's way better than Matondo. Come to think of it, I'm way better than Matondo and I'm sixty two.
03 Jan 2025 13:01:39
i think everyone has had too much buckie. shankland and kent aye really that's the way forward for sure. and i wish people would stop hanging on the sports science, every club uses sports science its not new. and yes the sports science team advise the manager if a player should play or not. the manager and player have the last word but they would be foolish not to heed the advice of the science department. just because PC stated it we have to have a go at the whole set up.
03 Jan 2025 13:10:00
As much as I wanted him gone, I think a 6 month deal at a fair wage with option for more and no signing on fee then yeah I'd gamble. But that isn't going to happen.
03 Jan 2025 13:21:08
Shankland, No, too slow, would not work half as much as Igamane or Dessers even, goals also have dried up.
Kent, No, hasn't had a decent game for over 3 seasons, and would expect 25k+ per as a wage!
03 Jan 2025 13:23:28
I think John had actually posted months ago that ryan kent was practically a done deal and would be coming back to rangers in january ?.
03 Jan 2025 13:46:15
Bigbluejim, can't only laugh at your post.
03 Jan 2025 14:08:42
I obviously never read his post correctly thought it was injury prone.
03 Jan 2025 14:29:52
No harm done then mystar.
03 Jan 2025 15:41:18
Team looks really harmonious at the moment and we're starting to see some overdue connection with the fans.
Even though I think Kents better than what we have, I think he'd bring baggage that could derail our progress.
03 Jan 2025 23:22:25
Kent hardly kicked a ball in last two years, will end up in the lower divisions in England as in league one or two.
03 Jan 2025 23:27:15
Kent over Matondo any day of the week.
