Anyone heard if the Rumours are true about Diomande to Lyon. ? £17.5m. ?
03 Apr 2025 19:31:08
There is absolutely interest in Dio, last I heard there was interest from 3 top French sides.
Would be surprised if it was for £17.5m though.
03 Apr 2025 19:31:35
That won't be happening Lyon anyway.
03 Apr 2025 19:40:29
Stones rumours that to French one Italian interested between 14-18 million.
03 Apr 2025 20:02:03
Lyon will be selling players.
Think we could lose both Raskin and Diomande this summer though, but on a good side it will give us more money to work with, really rate Diomande highly but he doesn't seem cut out for football in this league, anything like John said I'd be selling him.
03 Apr 2025 20:59:14
Peoples opinions of players on this platform really blow your mind at times.
03 Apr 2025 21:05:17
I'd say that's a great and fair price for him tbh. I expect he will move again in a couple years for double that again:
He's not suited to Scottish football but he is a class player. I'd say I'd want over £15m and £20m would be maybe too high so that's a fair price.
Raskin my price is a clear £20m as it stands and if he gets any more outstanding performances in between now and then it would go up.
I think we'll be very lucky not to lose both this summer.
03 Apr 2025 21:18:55
With the markets nowadays and how well they have done espialy in Europe that's fair prices in my opinion.
03 Apr 2025 21:28:34
17.5 sounds about right. Anything less is another example of us being utterly cr@p at this.
Raskin is 20+ if Raskin keeps putting in big performances he's 25 plus.
Iggy is 20.
03 Apr 2025 21:58:57
I've said it many times, I have no idea how to value players - but would be very surprised if Dio went for a few like that.
Also, same for the figures quoted for Raskin and Iga.
Not that I'd complain if we did get those fees mind you.
03 Apr 2025 22:06:08
Ger55 need to build a squad around raskin not sell him.
03 Apr 2025 22:06:23
Wont be lyon they have financial worries.
03 Apr 2025 22:15:36
Dio imo is worth 8/ 10m based mainly on euro performance and the profile he now has.
03 Apr 2025 22:15:59
I'd bite your hand off for that kind of money for Diomande, he has shown in flashes that he has talent but not enough.
We have two or three players that fans are rating as multi million sales but let's be honest none of them have been consistently outstanding for us and therefore difficult to replace . If we got the money quoted on here for Diomande, Raskin and Igamane and we appoint the right manager, we could use this cash to rebuild and have a really strong squad .
04 Apr 2025 00:02:36
Ehl, I base these figures on players of similar
Attributes and abilities and profiles from our league or other competitive transfers around Europe.
We can only guess but I base it on common sense. Ability is the biggest factor and then value of peers at domestic and international level.
Gdogg that's my exact thoughts as well mate.
04 Apr 2025 00:49:54
Sell sell sell I've got rizla's with a bigger gable end than him that bring me more happiness.
04 Apr 2025 00:52:32
If we make a profit on Diomande at all I'd be happy. I just don't see what people rave about.
04 Apr 2025 03:38:31
Are lyon not in financial bother ffp wise.
04 Apr 2025 06:55:42
Stevie, if I apply the same logic I get a very different answer.
04 Apr 2025 07:40:11
What are you saying superally? you think we'd get less than 4.5 mill. why would you be happy just to make any profit on a player that could sell for millions? if Rangers sold him for 4.6 million and made 100k profit you'd be happy with that? i certainly wouldn't be, he's 23 years old and he's a cracking player you see it in europe every single game.
04 Apr 2025 08:04:09
Those that think Dio is worth 17.5m, let's play devils advocate and test that theory.
If we were linked woth Dio and the price was 17.5m, would you be happy to pay that? (lets assume we had that cash) .
BTW - I like him and think he's a good player and if we can get that for him, take it and run.
04 Apr 2025 08:45:19
Is anyone paying 18m for Dio right now? Nope! Not a chance! C'mon, let's try and be realistic here.
StevieG2! You say you base it on "common sense"?! Really? 18m is pie in the sky for Dio, and a much more realistic figure, at this moment, is around the 6-8m mark.
The reason we don't make money by selling players is not because supporters on here undervalue them, it's because they're nowhere near as valuable as you think they are, added to our transfer model not being fit for purpose.
04 Apr 2025 09:18:00
6-8m is far to cheap Sunshine and would be laughed at in my opinion, how many players in the Ivory coast squad gets sold for that kinda fee?
04 Apr 2025 09:45:08
Diomande will not be sold unless his fee is double figures.
04 Apr 2025 09:54:34
Right now, that's what I think we get for him, but he definitely has skill, so hopefully his worth increses. His biggest letdown is consistency, and until he sorts that out, then we can't expect much more.
04 Apr 2025 10:10:25
Sunshine his performances in Europe will get that fee mate, clubs that are interested will not really be caring about what he does in our league apart from maybe the Celtic games and he's impressed in the last few of them, 17.5m is a tad high I think but we'll still get double figures, my advice to him would be for him getting out now, Diomande will take his game to a different level in Italy or France.
04 Apr 2025 10:35:49
I also believe he'd flourish in the French league, so fingers crossed, the French teams think the same as you.
04 Apr 2025 10:38:12
Ehl that's fair enough to u mate, would u share that number u get with us mate? Of course potential must be taken into account aswell. This is what happens when players leave Holland Germany France Belgium and so on.
The players we are discussing are full internationals.
Raskin in particular has shown himself to be a match if not better than anything he's came up against. Engels, £11m. Raskin is a far better player than him and Celtic would demand £20m tomorrow for him.
Diomande has shown himself to be an equal of anyone he's played against in Europe this season.
I'm not looking to debate lad I value you're opinions by what's the numbers yous have and why so low compared to what I, and others value them at as we've explained why aswel.
04 Apr 2025 11:20:30
I'd rate Dio and Iga at around £8-10m and Raskin at around £10-12m.
Think there was an interview with Arfield a couple of weeks ago where he cautioned Rangers fans not to get too carried away with valuations after Raskins international debut - thought he talked a lot of sense.
04 Apr 2025 12:19:56
Is Butland still £30m bargain buy? some of the stuff on here is insane . Are we still in for that big slow lump at Gorgie greetin faces fc?
04 Apr 2025 12:37:44
Dio looks a different player with space in uefa games. In league games he gets smashed. Think we should move him on if a good bid comes in. Raskin imo is a top player we need to tie down. If we can keep him and surround him with better players in a successful team then his ££ will go up especially with Belgium performances which demonstrates he can play at the top level.
04 Apr 2025 13:12:50
Ok Ehl thanks for reply mate.
As a wise man once said, a player is only worth what someone is willing to pay, no more no less. Time will tell.
04 Apr 2025 14:20:06
In response to a question above, about Ivory Coast players transfer fees. Didn't we pay £4m for him? Doesn't that just blow the "ivory coast players don't go for that kind of fee" discussion out the water?
04 Apr 2025 15:42:02
? DoTheBouncy many caps did Diomande have for Ivory Coast before he was a Rangers player ?.
04 Apr 2025 17:12:55
Sorry think I've picked you up wrong dtb, they have players valued at 30/ 40m.
04 Apr 2025 17:56:08
Dio 8-10 mill rasin 10+ hamza 15+ butland 5 mill tops.
04 Apr 2025 19:34:54
If we get a combined 20m for Raskin and Dio in the summer it's business well done. I'd be trying to keep Igamane for another season.
04 Apr 2025 20:02:15
20m for Raskin and Diomande, they got nearly 30m for a player not been able to cut in the epl so far.
04 Apr 2025 20:26:00
I agree with mystar here but i would take anything above
6 million and back ourselves to replace him he's not really fitted into scottish game but obviously has a bit of class about him.
If we could get 8-10 i'd bite hand off could buy two good mids with that money.
05 Apr 2025 00:47:55
Think lots of people forgetting he's got 3 years left on his deal, 6 million for him with 6 years left is criminal in my opinion. teams across europe will see qualities that others can see.
06 Apr 2025 11:00:50
If an offer let's you buy two or three quality replacements that were at same level you originally bought a player it sounds like a no brainer.
06 Apr 2025 11:02:03
We have for too long had too many midfielders and wingers that don't contribute enough goals and seems only ones we have had tilman cerny sima we didn't have concrete option.
