Looks like the cifuentes deal is off at aris as their new coach does not fancy him.
03 Jan 2025 12:50:44
Its mad how far he's fallen as a player, his stock was very high when we signed him.
03 Jan 2025 12:53:37
Bloody fantastic. Another waste of a wage. Koppen and PC are going to have a really hard time getting rid of deadwood even if they're on the cheap.
03 Jan 2025 13:08:58
he has been injured since start of December I think so he hasn't been playing because of that. remember they are trying to negotiate the fee down so it may be part of that ploy.
03 Jan 2025 13:19:10
We should bring him back and give him January to prove himself while also looking for his next move before end of window.
03 Jan 2025 13:19:44
Gersgirl, cifuentes is a good midfielder and just because he didn't settle into scottish football doesn't suggest he ain't ?.
03 Jan 2025 13:27:39
He might even be worth a second look to be honest. I didn’t think he was as bad as some made out.
03 Jan 2025 13:27:40
Hes a dud. Just glad didn't splash on him like we did dessers and lammers etc but deary me we really need to start recruiting a lot better. Really hope we can shift dessers this month.
03 Jan 2025 13:59:29
Lot were saying the same regarding Hagi.
03 Jan 2025 14:14:43
Aye in your opinion Paul86 ? Because he's not played well in our league doesn't make him a dud ? He's looked good in america, in greece and for his country? This is stupid/ crazy patter a player is a dud because they've not settled or played well in our league ?.
03 Jan 2025 14:30:02
I always thought Cifu had something. never given a proper chance i feel.
I'd give him another chance in the squad now.
He can't be worse that Dowell haha.
03 Jan 2025 14:33:09
I’d look at touting him to clubs in USA n a swap deal for someone.
03 Jan 2025 14:45:59
Cifuentes was awful please no.
03 Jan 2025 15:16:08
Cifu wasn’t the worst and most people can see a player in there as some have said maybe not suited to Scottish football.
03 Jan 2025 15:29:51
Did he fail to make the grade in Greece?
03 Jan 2025 15:01:53
Cifuentes is a very good footballer but he never showed in a Rangers jersey apart from the game against Betis away, man seemingly isn't mentally strong enough for our climate, sell him, top teams in Greece very interested in him, or like stevie said teams in mls would be very interested in him he was one of the best cm in that league, only problem will he go back.
03 Jan 2025 15:38:25
I'd be in no hurry to see Cifu return, but given how poor so many players looked under MB I wouldn't automatically write him off if he did.
03 Jan 2025 15:49:16
He was very slow, and didn’t like the weather here, so he’s not going to settle, cut your losses with him.
03 Jan 2025 15:50:38
Dont think cifu should ever be a weatherman.
03 Jan 2025 16:11:17
Never believed for a minute they'd pay the £4m.
03 Jan 2025 16:24:20
Cifuentes didn't adjust from Sunset Boulevard to Mosspark Boulevard. Maybe best to alert MLS clubs and spin him round again. Definitely a player in there but just not got the temperament to make it at Rangers in the wind and rain of Scotland.
03 Jan 2025 16:56:33
Maestro he wasn't slow, he wanted too much time on the ball in our league, which probably made him look slow ?.
03 Jan 2025 17:05:04
He wouldn't be the first player not to settle in a new country.
03 Jan 2025 17:18:25
Ecuador gets plenty of wet weather so that's no excuse.
03 Jan 2025 17:30:38
No difference it temperature catch? that was the reason not rain fall.
03 Jan 2025 17:34:33
Exactly mark.
03 Jan 2025 17:52:25
Sir walter failed in scotland, has been heavily slated for his country, failed in brazil and now out of favour in greece? Was good in MLS by all accounts tho. Beale did day he woukd take us to the next level after all.
03 Jan 2025 18:23:15
Beale from what we know it’s the weather and culture shock for him; I’d imagine he’d junk at the chance to go back to America mate.
03 Jan 2025 18:52:23
He wanted a crack in Europe Stevie, he could be satisfied that he never cut in Europe but that certainly wouldn't be me mate, i wouldn't be going back to the mls unless I'm putting it down to failure and that wouldn't be happening before trying again for another season or 2,when went in for him he really seemed like a positive man but him seemingly not mentally strong enough for our climate does it for me mate.
03 Jan 2025 19:35:07
Wouldn’t be me either mate. Was it not something to do with his missus though? did she not leave him And head home when she seen the weather?
Maybe try the Dutch league; I know he has skills. It’s finding a league that suits him so we can maximise our return.
A loan swap is a great idea.
03 Jan 2025 21:11:57
Valued around £8-10 million when in the mls still think we can get 3-4million for him to the right club.
03 Jan 2025 23:34:21
Paul out of curiosity mate, what rangers players do you like ?.
04 Jan 2025 00:45:50
Did they not sign a binding contract to purchase him? Wether or not the new manager wants him or not they have an obligation to purchase.
