Emmanuel Fernandes?.
02 Jul 2025 21:55:11
Presuming proper be away in the morning then.
02 Jul 2025 21:58:35
This one has moved fast. Hopefully the lad is a rough diamond. He looks a big lad. I'm guessing he's been signed to be 3rd choice rather than 1st choice. And might mean Proper can move on? Fingers crossed he pushes on!
02 Jul 2025 21:59:18
Fernandez has signed 4 year deal not sure the fee involved
no seen this boy play but hopefully good prospect
not seen anything regards wolves boy in the door yet.
02 Jul 2025 21:59:39
Hope i'm wrong but i'm not sure about all these league 1 players this fernandes then thsts another one from luton linked now my Celtic pals are laughing there heads off it reminds me of warburton i'm just hoping martin is not underestimating the quality of players thsts needed and it works out so we can have the last laugh.
Ill stay positive and trust they know what there doing and be fully behind it but this fernandes guys Cv does look terrible full of amateur sides.
02 Jul 2025 21:59:46
He's some height
Things moving quickly now
Just wonder who's next will be leaving.
02 Jul 2025 22:00:08
Big guy scored a few goals too so maybe can get his nut on cross balls?
02 Jul 2025 22:01:53
First signing I'm excited about - with the exception of Cameron.
02 Jul 2025 22:07:03
Hard to keep up?.
02 Jul 2025 22:07:23
I keep saying it but Jamie Vardy played non league until he was 25 and signed for Leicester fro m aLeague 2 team. Posh have a good record of finding talent so he might just be the next Bassey. give him a chance.
02 Jul 2025 22:19:59
Deano remind your mates about Oreily where he came from.
02 Jul 2025 22:23:36
In Russell Martins defence he has managed in the top 3 tiers of English football so hopefully his experience of players at even League 1 level helps us identify affordable gems.
02 Jul 2025 22:28:29
Deano Celtic just made 25m from a player coming from league 1 last summer mate.
02 Jul 2025 22:28:32
Peterborough fans seem to be happy he's gone, checked there twitter post and fans are laughing that they managed to get him away.
02 Jul 2025 22:30:24
Deanobear, where was it again that they signed Matt O'Reilly from? Doesn't matter what league a player comes from if they are the right player. Jamie Vardy came from non league after all. Hopefully homework has been done and we are picking the right type of players. This lad seems more of a prospect for the long term rather than straight in the first team anyway.
02 Jul 2025 22:31:01
3rd choice at 3.5million highly doubt that.
02 Jul 2025 22:48:21
Ehl have you been aware of the boy for a while? If so what kind of player do you think we have on our hands? I must say he looks an absolute unit, i don't think the physical side of the league will be an issue.
02 Jul 2025 22:56:45
EHL, do you know much about the lad? Peterborough fans do t seem to rate him but hopefully RM sees something in him he can work with.
Personally would have rather used the money on Kasa and one other. It's a lot for us to spend on a player with limited game time when we have other priorities.
02 Jul 2025 23:20:31
Played very well V Everton apparently so 2 guys at Rangers might have noticed that, no Peterborough fans anywhere on X laughing at the signing, go try any search, club, player, Rangers any at all. nuthin whatsoever as described earlier. utter guff.
02 Jul 2025 23:21:30
Gers 78
Oriely never cost 3.5 million tho did he and he wasn't knocking about at margate and ramsgate just a few years ago. Anyone defending this signing is crazy are we seriously saying we couldn't get better for 3.5 million? Joke.
02 Jul 2025 23:25:39
He's a player we spotted when monitoring Poku.
Very similar to Iga in that he's physically outstanding, has lots of raw talent but is very rough around the edges.
Perfect signing for the player trading model.
02 Jul 2025 23:31:09
Various highlight reels of Everton v Peterborough FA cup tie on youtube, full match too I think.
02 Jul 2025 23:35:57
Someone like Kasa for an example was reportedly around 2million and he played for faynoord and is a Dutch under 23 international that's the difference
3.5 million on a player who has had one season in league 1 is absolutely ludicrous but fans seem to like it because he is big and tall.
03 Jul 2025 00:38:45
Honestly can't win why aren't we buying players buy someone why are we spending 3.5 mil on this guy my fifa/ football manager career says he's not worth it why don't we give the guy a chance before writing him off.
03 Jul 2025 00:51:14
Was valued at 75k a year ago, has been steadily improving this year and his value has increased to 350k.
we payed 2.9 mill pounds or 3.3 mill euros for him.
Big strong lad, and could be a good patrner for Nsiala.
One good season at Rangers and his value will increase exponentially.
The club obviously see a future talent worth investing in based on his improvement over the last season.
we need to get more raw young quality defenders like this, as our 3 experienced CB's will be either sold or OOC by the end of this season, Davies, Souttar, Propper.
Fernandez will not be 3rd choice CB, more likely 1st choice.
03 Jul 2025 01:16:27
Think more to do with it than being big and tall Deano, he must be doing something right but let's see him play for a few games at least to form an opinion.
03 Jul 2025 01:45:16
Perhaps you should give a fernandez a chance first Deanobear.
Remember Bassey before coming to Rangers?
Leicester youth team, released during covid, was not highly rated,
Picked up for 250k, brought in as backup to Barasic.
one outstanding season and his value went through the roof 500 k to 23 million, best defender in the Europa league, best defender in scotland, named in Eurpoa league team of the season, Ajax and Fulham spent 45.5 mill euros combined in 12 months signing him up.
We have clearly seen qualities in Fernandez for us to pay the 3.3 mill euros to secure him.
Potential patrner for Nsiala in the future, with Proper leaving as soon as we can find a buyer, and Davies and Souttar both out of contract next season.
03 Jul 2025 01:53:11
Now if we get Raphael Fernandes back we can play Fernandes and Fernandez, sounds like a taco franchise.
Who's next on our CB shopping list Kasanwirjo and Fernades
That a quality young up and coming quad of CB's.
Nsiala, Fernandez, Kasanwirjo, Fernandes - wonder if we will go in for the other 2.
with our older CB's on the transfer list or OOC by end of the season.
03 Jul 2025 02:33:58
From what i seen looks very comfortable with ball at feet likes to get forward only convern for me is pace.
03 Jul 2025 03:01:59
Bassey wasn't rated either the rest is history, I'm over the moon with this signing we finally have a physical cb, coady next.
03 Jul 2025 03:25:07
Laudruphagi, how many times have you saw those 4 CB's play, combined? Probably less than 10, so you can't really say they are a quality up and coming quad of CB's.
03 Jul 2025 05:12:48
EHL, do you not rate the signings of joe rothwell and max aarons mate? Also what's your take on the possible signings of these 2 attacking players in david brooks and thelo aasgaard that we're rumoured to be trying/ wanting to sign? I think both are exactly what we're needing and talented players.
03 Jul 2025 05:44:59
Fifa football manager, cancel the transfer it says he's not good enough, absolute lunacy basing an "opinion" on a feckng game??.
03 Jul 2025 07:41:05
SWS, not at all, think both have the potential to be good signings.
Neither are development signings, so neither will have a great deal of interaction with my team.
Cameron and Fernandez on the other hand will, which is why I'm more excited to see those type of signings.
03 Jul 2025 09:05:56
I was going ask the same ehl thanks for clarifying that up as did have me wondering why he was first singing excited you bar cameron so ? hopefully a few more off these types in soon if get boys out the other way.
03 Jul 2025 09:25:04
EHL, what position do you think Cameron will play in RM's system? I was trying to figure out where he played for Dubdee and it seemed to vary down the right hand side of the team, but I don't think he's a winger.
03 Jul 2025 09:55:37
Deano it's only nervous laughs from your friends.
Let's see how he plays in our team, then judge for your self.
03 Jul 2025 10:23:18
Cameron is an attacking mf mate.
03 Jul 2025 11:06:56
Ehl do you think based on these poor signings Martin will last till Xmas.
Guys I'm being told with various addonns fernandes price is 1.5 million with 10% sell on.
03 Jul 2025 11:13:31
BearBlue, he prefers to play as an 8, but can also play as a 7.
03 Jul 2025 11:25:58
Thanks, EHL. Hopefully, Cameron gets game time to show what he can do. I think he could be a great signing for us.
03 Jul 2025 12:08:01
John, that's certainly a much more reasonable price for Fernandez.
I certainly hope RM is given time like SG was given. It was always going to be a hard task to overhaul the squad and will likely take 3 or more transfer windows. I know it's not easy and unlikely to happen, but the fans need to have patience and give them time time. The new owners have been clear that this isn't a quick fix, it will take time to build sustained success. Time will tell how these signings work out. It's understandable that they are going for players in a market that Thelwell and RM know. Hopefully, there will be a few more surprises and unknown players with potential to come. The transfer window still has two months to go.
