Hearing from an agent down south that Portsmouth believe that Luke Graham has chosen them.
They've been in constant dialogue since January. Unsure where we are at with that one.
26 May 2026 10:25:23
Best of luck to the lad, if he doesn't trust his own ability to get into the Rangers team, then he's best not coming.
26 May 2026 10:32:41
Can't really blame him, he would be coming here as back up, as he will likely go there and be a starter.
26 May 2026 10:36:49
Dado, or maybe he's thinking about playing in better league, mate.
26 May 2026 10:37:01
This is Portsmouth's view on things. Unsure if this is actually the case from the player's camp, or what discussions we've actually had with the player.
26 May 2026 10:45:54
Better league Mystar, but Portsmouth are at the bottom of it, only reason for choosing them over us is he feels he has a better chance to play. Less wages, no Europe, play in front of smaller crowds, play with lesser players. There's not many pros to it when you're comparing the two.
26 May 2026 10:50:40
No one has chosen anyone till they've signed on the dotted line.
26 May 2026 10:53:10
Wishy, less wage? Would you choose our league over the Championship? Derby and Hull were at the bottom season 24/25.
26 May 2026 10:55:20
Looks like Silas Andersson off to Sp Lisbonn £8.5m.
26 May 2026 11:06:30
100% we will pay more money than Portsmouth, mate, that's surely not something you're contesting.
26 May 2026 11:07:24
Also, I would choose Rangers/Celtic over the Championship. I wouldn't choose anyone else in our league over them if I was in his shoes.
26 May 2026 11:12:35
You must think Portsmouth don't pay a good wage, Wishy. Wages won't come into play. You think Rangers will be him giving thousands more than Portsmouth? Won't be much in it. Say we offer him 12w weekly, Portsmouth could give him 15k.
26 May 2026 11:24:24
Won't be completely accurate, but online quotes our annual wage bill as double Portsmouth.
26 May 2026 11:33:20
Wishy, but that won't stop Portsmouth offering him 15k, mate. Will Rangers offer him more?
26 May 2026 11:43:13
I've said it for weeks, he ain't signing for Rangers. Source his mum. His proffered move is down south. Portsmouth offered him a while back to go see their facilities. He is also happy at Dundee, but on much improved terms, which I doubt they can afford.
26 May 2026 11:47:18
Gotta say Prince Charles would be a great keeper. Could sit on a chair and let his ears save the ba.
26 May 2026 12:05:11
He prefers to move down south.
26 May 2026 12:22:24
Disappointing if Graham chooses to go to Portsmouth as I genuinely feel that both he and us would benefit if he came to Ibrox. I think he would play regularly, and he is obviously in the thoughts of the international manager. I'm not sure he will progress as well with a struggling EPL team. If that's his choice though, good luck to him.
26 May 2026 12:36:46
Could be why we put offer in for Milne.
26 May 2026 12:40:46
Really don't rare Milne at Aberdeen at all.
26 May 2026 12:52:28
Yeah, that's probably the limit they could go to, though we could offer a lot more if we wanted too. However, I don't think it's down to money. It will be down to the fact he probably feels like he will play.
If we keep Manny and likely sign a CB for big money, he's only going to play a handful of games unless any big injuries. He will also look at Lyle Cameron and think, is this the best move for my development?
26 May 2026 13:05:38
Portsmouth average weekly wage is £7-7.5K. Why would they double that for a 22 CB? I am unsure I would want to pay that much for him, as he is untried really at the level we need.
Might be another success like Fernandez, or another flop like Nsiala, and we are stuck paying it for 3-4 years. However, I do love the guesswork and justification for opinions on players signing. ?
26 May 2026 13:14:53
Did the agent also tell you that there's a German club watching him, as well as RB Salzburg team from Portugal, also 3 others in Europe, or was it just Portsmouth???
26 May 2026 13:41:51
Reports emerging on some social media sites that we have indeed missed out on the signing of Dundee centre half Luke Graham and have turned our attentions to Aberdeen centre half Jack Milne. ☹️
26 May 2026 13:47:13
Manchester, an agent is likely to hear bits and bobs, not a full dossier on interested clubs on a player who isn't his. So what's with the bitchy comment lol.
26 May 2026 13:56:06
No, bitchy mate, sorry if it came across that way. I'm just stating the comment was heard from an agent, so was only asking, was it just Portsmouth and no others?
26 May 2026 14:00:06
Sorry then, mate, I've read it wrong, so apologies.
26 May 2026 14:18:12
No worries mate. ?
26 May 2026 16:12:52
Again with Pierce Charles Stilm. Think his handling very suspect. Said same about Onana's big move to United and it turned out exactly as I thought.
Like Onana greta ball at feet but poor handling and tends to always knock ball back into danger area.
