Looks like Rothwell going to championship
Also we r aiming to sell Gassama for about 5 million.
13 Dec 2025 16:03:59
wonder if that is a Danny Rohl decision as he's not happy with Gassama or if Gassama is wanting away.
13 Dec 2025 16:11:34
Tav I understand it's a Rangers decision.
13 Dec 2025 16:14:15
I know he's went off the boil a bit but are we just going to sell anyone to raise money even if its someone you can work with and can clearly be a good player for us. We have no options on wings as it is.
13 Dec 2025 16:21:20
John £5m for Gassama is fantastic business, we should bite off the hand that offers that.
Any idea on a few for Rothwell?
13 Dec 2025 16:27:47
Are we getting anything for Rothwell John?
Even tho I'd be happy to just have his wage off the books.
13 Dec 2025 16:36:57
If we got 6m for the 2 of them and the chance to reinvest then seems decent business. There's others I would prefer to go before Gassama but we need to consider offers if they come in. Tav123 might just be a deal that suits everyone, Rohl has started him in nearly all his games over the last few seasons.
John i am sure you mentioned some players potentially had precontracts agreed to join us, are these still on, were they Thelwell targets and do you think we might pay to get them in Jan?
13 Dec 2025 16:43:39
I imagine Rothwell, although the fee will be undisclosed, would be a half a million deal. Just feels like that kind of deal. Dowell I imagine we could get £200k or sumfin.
13 Dec 2025 16:48:13
John do you know if it's a loan or permanent transfer? Shame it hasn't worked for him up here, had high hopes for him.
13 Dec 2025 17:07:02
Take the money for Gassama. Never seen someone with such lack of effort. Be well rid of that boy.
13 Dec 2025 17:13:22
No brainer selling Gassana for £5 million.
Great business. Reinvest and go again.
13 Dec 2025 17:14:21
Agree dado. He needs a lot of coaching but at least you can see the boy has something, couldn't say as much for the rest.
13 Dec 2025 17:15:24
Good deals ?.
13 Dec 2025 17:47:32
Shame how it's gone with Gassama. Looked at first we had real potential and esp with Rohl coming in thought he'd kick on. £5m would be a good profit though I'd prefer others out before him. Think club are just happy to clear any out tbh so they can start to rebuild again.
13 Dec 2025 17:59:29
I would have thought Danny Rohl would have been wanting to keep Gassama, as he always rated him highly at sheff wednesday ?.
13 Dec 2025 18:01:22
Gone off the boil abit? He has fallen off a cliff and done nothing since the first few weeks of the season. If we get £5m for him and reinvest in another winger then that's brilliant. Honestli if we are looking at getting rid after half a season then there are reasons we are not privvy to.
Great news John thanks for sharing.
13 Dec 2025 18:13:50
Possibly jim. But if you could name me many other players who have been 'on the boil' then i'd like to hear them. He may well be a wee c@nt but to me it smacks of - sell any asset to try undo the mess we have made while another 7 or 8 diddies get kept and will get used.
The defence should be priority not selling wingers mid season when we have none.
13 Dec 2025 18:17:09
At Sheffield Weds he was in open games. No one put 10 men behind the ball! He had plenty room to run into and stretch defences. His best performances for us have been IMO in Europe where the above is applicable. He's rotten in tight spaces, a head down runner, and if you deny him space you take the one thing in his armoury away, pace! He's not suited to our league.
He's no better than Matondo just more available, both good for a screamer but consistently poor all round.
13 Dec 2025 18:35:54
If we can double our money take it, looks to have a bit of attitude and not the kind that's productive. Build up that kitty.
13 Dec 2025 18:45:55
John,
Are we actively looking to move him for £5million or simply pricing him at £5m?
13 Dec 2025 18:52:50
gassama hasn't agreed to go anywhere yet all rumours spoke to someone who speaks to him constantly but if they get offered good money Rangers will more than likely sell, Rothwell told Danny Rohl he was yer to go in january as soon as he came in and asked not to be picked he's a coward glad he's away.
13 Dec 2025 18:59:19
Lmac, that's a nail on the head assessment for me ?.
13 Dec 2025 18:59:59
Get rid!
13 Dec 2025 19:14:50
Supernova I'm told we are getting what we paid, 400k re Rothwell
Huey I said we r trying to get three in on pre contract, not aware if any signed yet,
Big dado 49s very good at getting rid off assets
Sort out Gassama attitude, final ball, laziness u have a very good player worth ten million.
13 Dec 2025 19:28:36
I think it would be a mistake selling him for such little amount.
What's 5 million in today's game it's literally pocket change in England and Spain.
Also need to remember the full team has been struggling not just Gassama.
Get him better quality players beside him and he could be a real asset who we could sell for way more than that.
13 Dec 2025 19:33:45
Great assessment lmac of Gassama.
His attitude is stinking.
How much did we pay for him John?
13 Dec 2025 19:36:33
Gassama has to be worth more than £5m! Only way I'm accepting that is if they taking Chermiti too else I want at least £7m!
13 Dec 2025 19:47:49
Thanks John ?.
13 Dec 2025 19:50:55
Lmac, very few teams now park the bus v Rangers due to how bad we are. Most teams even at Ibrox play an open game as there confident they can get something from us.
13 Dec 2025 19:55:07
I read online Sheffield United for Rothwell. He likely go back there and do very well under Wilder. Good luck to him if he goes.
13 Dec 2025 19:58:56
Selling Gassama and being stuck with Antman makes me ill.
13 Dec 2025 20:05:26
Gassama another who looked great in the champ, brutal up here. There's a pattern here.
13 Dec 2025 20:20:39
Storm just over two million, we have allegedly said that's the fee he's available for.
13 Dec 2025 20:28:58
Agree Gassama seems to just be an upgraded Matondo.
I would honestly take Kent on lower wages than before as a rotation option and spend money on Daramy.
13 Dec 2025 20:36:57
I don't think many teams park the bus, play 10 behind the ball, or whatever we are calling it, against us anymore. I feel most teams now are confident of getting something from us so have a go knowing we are likely to crumble.
I don't believe he plays even that well against the European teams, as evidenced the other night after getting hooked for having a stinker. So for me, Gassama just isn't that good, and no harm John, but that's an awful lot of things he needs to fix to be worth 10m. Think we paid about right for him so anything north of that and bite their hand off for it.
13 Dec 2025 20:45:20
They might have been good at getting rid of assets at Leeds John but clubs are loaded down there so can get big moneu. If they want to sell players for 5m first sniff of interest they won't be very good at anything up here.
13 Dec 2025 20:55:21
Gassama is far too greedy with the ball and always looks to shoot when there's options plus he goes down far too easy and dives too much and when things don't go his way, he doesn't try and goes on a mood. Dundee United is a prime example got into fantastic positions then instead of a pass or a cross, he looked for a shot and eventually gave the ball away, he should be more like Saka and getting into the box by the goal line and causing havoc but he stops.
13 Dec 2025 21:05:36
If we sell those few players, we can put the money together and buy mikey Moore in a permanent deal ?.
13 Dec 2025 21:26:23
Dado we have none on the boil and I agree there are others we should prioritise for sure but if someone offers the £5m we take it as I don't see him kicking on in our league as L-Mac is right, he isn't suited to playing against the set ups in our league and certainly doesn't suit him as he is a headless chicken 99.99% of the time.
For me it's honestly no issue as long as the money we get for him is invested back into that position.
13 Dec 2025 22:10:46
perhaps if our old board had been as willing and able to get rid of assets we wouldn't have been under pressure financially and close to going bust again ?.
2 1/2 times profit for a player some fans don't rate is surely good business after 6 months to then reinvest and get the next 2 1/2 times profit but hopefully this time we can get the players who drive us forward on the pitch as well.
I like Gassama as a player but it just hasn't worked out yet.
13 Dec 2025 22:12:22
Sws that's dreaming mate.
13 Dec 2025 22:23:56
SWS, You are having a laugh?, please confirm?
13 Dec 2025 22:36:08
I think Oumar Camara might have been the pick of PSG kids over Gassama. He scored the winner today. Think he is four in last 5 games for Vitoria Guimares out in Portugal now. A goal and assist last week to evict Porto in a QF cup tie in Porto in a 3-1 victory. After a slow start breaking his way into starting line up, he looks to be making a real name for himself even at only 18.
Pity that deal was cancelled as that must have felt like a a real coup for Koppen at the time. Another one with a bright future that could have been. What were they thinking?
13 Dec 2025 22:45:57
Guys that was tongue totally in cheek regarding signing mikey Moore in a permanent deal ?We all know there's absolutely no chance we can sign this talented, young footballer permanently ☹️ The best i think we can hope for is an extended one year loan deal after this original loan deal ceases, at the end of this season ?.
13 Dec 2025 23:51:49
Would like that sws.
14 Dec 2025 07:53:49
Decent profit if money reinvested I've no problem with it and just because Gassama was at sheffield with eohl doeant mean he rates him.
Sorry but if we always sell for profit then we will win long term.
14 Dec 2025 09:39:25
John, also hearing that Dowell and Matondo have good offers from the Championship
Nsiala from Belgium
Dio attracting interest from France again.
Could be an interesting window.
14 Dec 2025 10:33:36
I think Gassama could be a good player for us, but is being brought done by the lack of quality in the team as a whole. I would keep him.
Perhaps we should try to cut our losses with Chermiti. We may be better to sell now rather than wait until the add one are close to being triggered, depending on what they are.
14 Dec 2025 11:13:58
EHL I really hope so. But can we please be patient and selective. No need for re-build number 24. My Christmas wish is that the club source a new captain. Someone who the club knows will deliver and will lead from the front.
I am not bashing Tav. Butcher, Gough, Greig, Ferguson all had their time. Tav has had his. We don't need a re-build, we need a sign of intent that allows us to move on from that disastrous summer.
14 Dec 2025 11:31:23
Don't think there is anyone that I would want to keep now. We've got to remember that the players that were here prior to Thelwell weren't good enough and joke is they are the ones that look the better options in the squad.
My view on Gassama is that £5m is good profit now on a player that I'm not convinced will become a £10M+ player. Hopefully some of this will help off-set Chermiti loss when it comes as we will struggle to get £1M nevermind £8M.
I had high hopes for Rothwell but if we can make our money back then free's up a wage to help invest in a new defence I'd bite your hand-off.
14 Dec 2025 11:31:52
Dowell rumoured to be going to hull.
Rothwell derby and Sheff united.
14 Dec 2025 11:35:35
I honestly think we should be asking for a fair bit more for gasama. i'd be disappointed at less than £7.5m given we've only recently bought him. Then again, I agree he's not lived up to the early hype yet so maybe I'm being overly optimistic.
14 Dec 2025 12:06:55
Windy of the 6 players mentioned in this thread, 4 have had zero involvement since Rohl came in - so not sure their departure constitutes a rebuilt?
14 Dec 2025 12:29:01
The question is Unionjack1, where's lyndon dykes going in january mate ?EHL, do you think dykes is possibly coming to Rangers on loan in january ?.
14 Dec 2025 12:45:49
Agree on that point. So if 4 aren't being used, get rid but don't bring 4 in. Especially squad fillers or loans. What we are doing isn't working. So build a team for long term not a season then sell at a profit hopefully. Gough etc better captains than Tav had their time, so move him on.
No one in that team deserves to be Captain. Ferguson had Abertz, Reyna and Gio, Amuruzo, Numan, Klos to deal witth. So some intent about a serious rebuild instead of constant quantity over quality. Some want 7.5 for Gas man. Man I'm seriously out of touch. ?.
14 Dec 2025 14:15:58
Need to keep Gassama but play him on LW his form and attitude was better when he was playing LW I would play Curtis on RW. I would play the below structure.
CAM - Moore
RW - Curtis
LW - Gassama
ST - who ever is scoring goals.
14 Dec 2025 18:42:42
Agree Ibroxstorm.
14 Dec 2025 18:43:13
Yeah coops let's bring dykes in who barely scores that's just what we need.
14 Dec 2025 19:30:11
I would definitely keep Gassama, to at least summer.
5 million is selling him short, what Rangers have been doing all to long
Gassama is easily worth upwards of 8
N I believe in a better Rangers
With more coaching from Raul
He could be a vital asset
There's a player there
We can get way better from him
N way more after a decent season n a better euro run.
15 Dec 2025 06:12:08
Storm, i never said to bring lyndon dykes in mate, i merely was responding to an earlier poster called Hoth, who had heard we were interested in him ?.
15 Dec 2025 15:07:05
Most teams still play the low block, what they do is quick at counter attack. Unfortunately we are too slow to transition into an effective counter attack when theirs breaks down allowing them to get back into their defensive shape.
