Rangers have received two offers from Turkey.
One for wright which has been accepted, he may go talk to them Sunday
One for yilmaz, a loan, rangers want loan to buy
Also told interest from turkey for Barisic but no offer as yet.

Can we still sign free agents?

Think so.

Yes Davie we can.

Davie, yes, but why squad too big.

Yes John it's a problem for the manager he's tried to shift more and had no luck.
6.) 08 Sep 2023
08 Sep 2023 14:13:42
Mext two windows we need to shift at least 8, that’s b4 we look at who we signed this window.

I was reasonably happy with yilmaz at the end of last season, think he just needs a run of games.
8.) 08 Sep 2023
08 Sep 2023 14:39:04
I'd definitely keep Yilmaz. Talk Sport talking again this afternoon of Eustace to Rangers.
9.) 08 Sep 2023

Burt I would not get rid of yilmas unless he is doing a Colak.
10.) 08 Sep 2023
08 Sep 2023 14:54:27
Is Yilmaz himself not settled, John27?
Or do Rangers themselves see his career too stop / start with us and are prepared to cut their losses?
11.) 08 Sep 2023
08 Sep 2023 15:17:27
If there’s any interest in yilmaz who’s only in the door
And it’s a loan to buy
Obviously we want rid of him
This smacks of a disaster
Especially if barasic goes also
What’s actually happening at our club.
12.) 08 Sep 2023
08 Sep 2023 15:22:06
Would Yilmaz be leaving us short at full back or does Beale have trust in Devine/ Yfeko?
13.) 08 Sep 2023
08 Sep 2023 15:25:07
Great info John thanks again mate
Any idea on the fee involved for wright? And even what we’d be wanting for yilmaz in the obligation?
I think if Beale is to stay he will need to move on some of his own signings before next season starts, I can’t see dessers and Danilo. Both stil being here start of next season, I think one stays and plays and one moves on, I think the big lad fae Norwich will be gone by next season starting, lammers also may be moved on again.
A lot of these signings might need moved on.
14.) 08 Sep 2023
08 Sep 2023 15:40:31
The Yilmaz rumour simply won't go away and I have heard on a number of occasions, the latest this week, that he is wanted by Besiktas, his previous club as well as Galatasaray and Fernabahce.
The interest from Besiktas and Fernabahce comes from folks that are linked to their perspective football clubs. (Both clubs were interested early in the Scottish Transfer window. At that time Besiktas wanted a loan deal and Fernabahce were interested in a straight purchase although my understanding was that they were undervaluing the player) .
I haven't heard Wright's name linked with any of these Clubs.
15.) 08 Sep 2023
08 Sep 2023 15:52:02
Lammers needs a shout as a striker big lad good in the air good feet, he isn't what Beale is using him as . Sima is a headless chicken and Danilo unfortunately is wrapped in cotton wool for some reason by the manager.
16.) 08 Sep 2023
08 Sep 2023 16:18:36
To be be Davie that's not a bad shout.
17.) 08 Sep 2023
08 Sep 2023 16:30:43
Ravers how is it a disaster all the experts want rid of both players
Wright to club he has already met twice.
18.) 08 Sep 2023
08 Sep 2023 16:42:48
Same as Hagi . don't want Yilmaz to leave. He should be starting games asap.
19.) 08 Sep 2023
08 Sep 2023 17:02:39
John I’m referring to yilmaz
We pay x amount then a loan to buy the lads just in the door so someone doesn’t see him staying
Then there’s barasic if he goes
That’s a disaster
So who we playing there
Sterling is out of position
Yfeko still learning some say he’s good others not so
(Shakes head) in frustration.
20.) 08 Sep 2023
08 Sep 2023 17:03:25
As744 aye maybe mate and I did hear Danilo was fairly quick so why not right side for a wee trial . Matondo, Lammers and Danilo switching around at will may make the opposition dizzy I'm thinking.
But I still don't know who Will is TBH.
21.) 08 Sep 2023
08 Sep 2023 17:18:17
Why would we want to sell both Barasic and Yilmaz?
If the rumours are true this would leave us short of cover at LB, as both Devine and Sterling are right sided players.
The only other left sided defenders we have in our squad are Davies, King, and Yefeko?
Another tough decision for MB.
22.) 08 Sep 2023
08 Sep 2023 17:20:34
John we may have a big squad but or defence is lacking quality especially in the art of defending some fans now making excuses because players playing left CB etc… we need a new defence pronto.
23.) 08 Sep 2023
08 Sep 2023 17:31:48
Oh right ravers u now worried about players u run down and want rid off. Archive a great read.
I can’t see both being allowed to leave but not bothered with them constantly feigning injury.
24.) 08 Sep 2023
08 Sep 2023 17:31:56
I think one of the other may leave and going by Beale this season it would likely be yilmaz.
25.) 08 Sep 2023
08 Sep 2023 17:35:52
My auld uncle was insistent there should be no left footers at Ibrox, he was off his nut though eventually.
26.) 08 Sep 2023
08 Sep 2023 17:49:58
Eustace's record for Birmingham is worse than MB's was for QPR, let's hope Bennett and Bisgrove have got a contingency plan in place a poor result against St Johnstone and I think there's no way back for Michael Beale. several of the summer signings when they were first interviewed by the press talked about being impressed with Michael Beale's playing philosophy! and that was a big reason why they signed for Rangers perhaps some of these players now feel they were conned by MB.
27.) 08 Sep 2023
08 Sep 2023 17:50:01
So, we are thinking of letting Yilmaz and Barisic go to Turkey . Is this part of a new tactical plan to play without a left back or like we did on Sunday with no left footers in the side at all . As for reducing the squad by 8 . The squad is currently 23 plus two youngsters and McLaughlin and Wright who both do need to go . Why would we take 8 players out of a 27 man squad, that would leave us barely enough to fill the bench.
28.) 08 Sep 2023
08 Sep 2023 17:59:46
John I have never ran down any mentioned
I can’t run yilmaz he’s hardly kicked a ball
As for barasic well half this site agree his time
Should have been up a long time ago
I will praise players like others I’ll also stick up for those being slated and I’ll run those down like everyone else on this site it’s only an individual opinion.
29.) 08 Sep 2023
08 Sep 2023 18:04:09
I’d quite like to see Danilo and Roofe play together, and just stick with it. No more chopping and changing every time we play. So they could get used to each other. Although Roofe would have to stay fit which is not garenteed.
Lawrence can play wide left. So that’s a option there. These are things I’d like to see I’m not saying it’s the answer or anything.
But one thing that is bothering me is Dessers getting constantly picked over Danilo. He was the so called big signing yet just sits on the bench. I would love someone to ask Beale wtf is going on there- it’s making me tthink something isn’t right there. It just seems strange to me. Just my thoughts.
30.) 08 Sep 2023
08 Sep 2023 18:26:09
Stormtrooper . we've needed a new defence for a long long time. The fact our club haven't recognised this is why they are the completly the wrong people moving forward. I honestly can't belive we didn't strengthen defensively especially at R and L back and don't get me started on our lack of width!
31.) 08 Sep 2023
08 Sep 2023 18:32:03
MrRangers87, I agree with you reg Roofe and Danilo. I want to see players playing in their natural position. I'm convinced Beale isn't the manager to get the best from these players.
32.) 08 Sep 2023
08 Sep 2023 18:43:40
Lawerance is first name on team sheet for me when fully match fit.
33.) 08 Sep 2023
08 Sep 2023 18:44:04
Your right mr rangers
Danilo was the flagship signing
Only to sit on the subs bench
It’s absolutely wild.
34.) 08 Sep 2023
08 Sep 2023 19:15:19
Danilo should be starting as main striker cannot understand that so obviously carrying knock not settled or something. Scott Wright is better option than sima lammers etc yilmaz can go couple games little promise then takes an injury.
35.) 08 Sep 2023
08 Sep 2023 19:54:54
Yes let’s sell one left back and loan the other out! Why no add to the growing list of stupid decisions! Ridvan should be starting every game not loaned out! He has so much potential and we’ve ruined him! Turkish number 1 left back before we signed him! Can’t even get in the team now!
36.) 08 Sep 2023
08 Sep 2023 21:07:40
If we are looking at Eustace then ? I'd rather try give Beale time.
Why do we jump from rookie manager to rookie manager do we never learn meanwhile Celtic go with proven records like Rodgers Ange and win titles.
37.) 08 Sep 2023
08 Sep 2023 21:58:07
Wslgers. First I’ve said enquiries. We may say no.
Yes eight, over next two windows, not tonight.
McLaughlin
Barisic
Jack
Hagi
Davies Steve
Lundstrum
Ben Davies
Mb yilmas. I’d keep
Matondo
Then many on here want rid Dessers, Lammers, sima et al
So another rebuild yes.

Beale needs to find his best starting 11 and soon and then stick with it. With all this pressure mounting on him I'd say he still doesn't have a clue and that's really the crux of the issue. He's not got faith in his marquee signing (what's going on in the background as that's just weird) and can't decide who the other main two attackers are. The midfield should pick itself in my opinion; Raskin, Cantwell and Cifuentes. The defence needed more of a refresh but it's been overlooked and Harry Souter would have been a great addition but left too late to do anything as at that point it relied on other outgoings - defence should have been as much a priority as upfront was deemed to be.
39.) 09 Sep 2023
09 Sep 2023 08:08:36
I don’t know regarding yilmaz. Rumours not going away is he wanting to go home? Personally I’d keep him till January see if he can string some games together and find form. At least that way we can bring in a replacement.
40.) 09 Sep 2023
09 Sep 2023 08:23:57
“ defence should have been as much a priority as upfront was deemed to be. ” - Last season Rangers conceded only 3 goals more than Celtic. However, we scored over 20+ less. Also, at the end of last season we lost two key attacking assets in Kent and Morelos for free.
We went into the summer with the firm intention of strengthening that forward line, and we did. The manager tried to get Trusty but we were priced out. He’s brought in Stirling who gives us a more defensive full-back to go up against guys like Abada. Beale also brought us another Keeper who looks to be the best in the country. I’m a massive fan of McCrorie but there’s no question Butland is the real deal.
But yeah, we had to buy forwards, and we did. I know everyone on here has already written off every new forwards. However, I’m confident Danilo will score 20+ this season. I think Dessers was desperately unluckily with that VAR decision last weekend after some fantastic work to create a goal out of nothing. Sima was ripping it up a few years ago and is still only 22 I don't think we’ve seen anything close to what he’s capable of yet. Lammers has all the right attributes physically and technically, we’ll need to wait and see what his numbers are like over time.
We won't know how good this team can be if we break it apart a few weeks after it was put together.
41.) 09 Sep 2023
09 Sep 2023 11:58:10
I agree Verdant, Lammers up top with Danilo or Dessers feeding off him . All three have got to be given a chance .
42.) 09 Sep 2023
09 Sep 2023 12:18:46
John27, you said that squad is too big and that we would need to shift at least 8 before even looking at the new signings who should be dumped. I thought this was how the club was looking at it not just your opinion which is fair enough. I don`t think a squad of 25 is too big but obviously if guys like Jack, Barisic and Lundstram go because their deals are done then we will need to replace them . Please stop including Davis as a viable member of the squad, we are helping him to rehab but surely his days as a Rangers player are over . He was done before he got the injury and would surely have been freed in the summer. If he gets back in the team then it really is time to give up . I don`t care how good he is in the dressing room we need players to play on the pitch.
43.) 09 Sep 2023
09 Sep 2023 12:39:56
I agree John27, squad is too big I would go with a squad of 20, shame about Steve Davis, but his age and injury is against him, great servant for Rangers and NI.
44.) 09 Sep 2023
09 Sep 2023 12:51:32
You should take your own advice u give verdant, read or check google
Re Davies our present manager stated two weeks ago in a live press conference that he hopes to give Davies a deal soon, I agree with u but am quoting the manager.
45.) 09 Sep 2023
09 Sep 2023 13:01:24
Getting fed up with the same old issues re left back situation - whether Barasic injured or Yilmaz injured or whether both at it potentially? - just get Devine in there imo and give the boy a decent run in the side - he has never let us down and we need our own boys to come through and step up to the plate - we need some identity in this team and players who know what it means to play for the jersey.
Beale no doubt scared to do this as heard his old soundbites re youth - but still waiting to see any of our young lads get in regularly.
46.) 09 Sep 2023
09 Sep 2023 13:30:27
John27 trust or believe our manager really!
?????
Funny I distinctly remember telling everyone we need to move people on before we signed anyone with everyone else saying we would sign 1 maybe 2 ?
Beale needs to stop thinking he's pep and stop changing the lineup every game football is not that hard you get a team that wins you stick by that team until you get a loss or injury.
And maybe try playing your most expensive signing rather than benching him ?
Just a thought ?.

09 Sep 2023 14:22:59

Scott wright isn’t a better option than anyone.
