John27, are there any teams actually looking at taking some of our "players" of our hands, first team players?
1.) 18 Apr 2024 08:30:45
Think some of them maybe ready to make Forest Green squad for next season.
2.) 18 Apr 2024 08:36:13
Good point Fork, we may need to ship a few who are not already out of contract or end of loans, but can we really see anyone coming in for what's left? At the very least we won't make much money on them that's for sure.
3.) 18 apr 2024 08:40:42
i dnt suspect anyone could possibly answer that question, how would john know?
4.) 18 Apr 2024 09:58:13
John gets info that’s how he would know TT. That’s why fork has asked him. John stated the other day they were a few clubs in for Butland ?.
5.) 18 Apr 2024 10:11:51
Think interest in tav and cantwell too
Possibly some Saudi money coming for tav I live in hop give us your millions please ?.
6.) 18 Apr 2024 10:58:58
Exactly Storm1, spot on bud?, are you the old storm or a new one, may have missed something?
7.) 18 Apr 2024 11:01:11
Been about for Tav for a while Stig, might yet happen, but on recent showings, not so sure bud.
8.) 18 Apr 2024 12:32:20
Lundstram Berwick Rangers maybe if he's lucky.
9.) 18 Apr 2024 12:36:40
Just for the record it is me and I have forgot my password ?♂️.
10.) 18 Apr 2024 13:01:36
Selling Butland might be the shout to get funds available, yes I would rather keep him but the team needs more work than ever, we will pick up good Bosmans but cash needed on others, selling Butland does not automatically mean there will be a worse goalie between the sticks.
11.) 18 Apr 2024 13:06:50
No probs @therealStorm??.
12.) 18 Apr 2024 13:30:37
Fork am sure John listed a few names last week that had interest them.
13.) 18 Apr 2024 15:56:31
I seen that G4, was wondering if it had grown bud, cheers?.
14.) 18 Apr 2024 18:10:52
If the Saudi's want Tav, we should try and do a Buy one get one free deal and they get Goldson as well!
15.) 18 Apr 2024 19:45:22
Gerard could help us out by taking both Berkshire ?.
16.) 19 Apr 2024 07:12:10
Just made me laugh out loud this morning Berkshire ?
Haha “Buy one get one free” ?.
17.) 19 Apr 2024 20:46:14
Sick of hearing gerrard might help us by taking tav believe it when I see it.
I’d love to cash in on tav but if teams were going to offer undefinable money would have done it by now think we are stuck with him
I’ve no problems with tav staying but personally I would play him righ mid as I’ve said countless times before he simply can’t defend also think goldson is a bigger problem and vastly over rated
Warned everyone about souttar always getting dragged out of position too eager to get forward your a defender first do your primary job
Sorry but if you play wing backs as we do in tav barasic then your central defenders are not ment to step out so much and leave other defender exposed both goldson and souttar do this and it’s why balogun and previously helander were considered much better defenders
We need defenders that defend
And forwards that score simple
Instead we buy forwards with horrible scoring records then wonder why we fail.
12 Apr 2024 12:01:22
Record linking us with Jhon Arias from fluminese, along with a few other clubs, prob?, but it's a no for me, spells his name like the mob spell boys???.
1.) 12 Apr 2024 13:11:22
Very well played, name change to ForksTongueInCheek?
2.) 12 Apr 2024 13:28:44
I believe it is how the name is spelled in Spanish and Portuguese.
3.) 12 Apr 2024 14:11:13
Considering he's very very good, I'd happily take him.
Were linked to him last summer.
4.) 12 Apr 2024 14:35:42
Lol Ac 21 spot on bud, he's actually not too shabby?.
5.) 12 Apr 2024 18:38:12
I can’t see us being able to afford this guy.
6.) 13 Apr 2024 12:15:41
Remember we once signed someone called Celik.
29 Mar 2024 14:14:01
Sima, Sterling, Dowell and McCausland apparently back in training. ?.
1.) 29 Mar 2024 17:31:31
Just glad Big John wasn't lying to me. All but confirmed he will be signing a new contract. I must have a trusting face! ???.
2.) 29 Mar 2024 17:43:17
Superb work there NRD?
Fork it is a huge boost to have Sima and Sterling back training, huge key players for us.
3.) 29 Mar 2024 18:21:39
Yup sure is RTG, and bang on NRD?, great shout.
27 Mar 2024 18:54:50
Question. Are we any further down the road in resolving what's happening with Lowery? been quiet too long, obviously there is the rumours buzzing about, just like to see what's happening one way or the other.
1.) 27 Mar 2024 20:39:21
I don't think he will be at Rangers next season, fork.
2.) 27 Mar 2024 21:47:14
Attitude not changed apparently.
3.) 27 Mar 2024 21:56:50
What a waste if true.
4.) 28 Mar 2024 10:14:02
Lots of talent to go to waste - and he may look back in later years and realise how silly he has been regarding the widow of opportunity he has at present -talent doesn't only get you there - drive, determination and a will to succeed and be the best you can is what all the top players possess - gut feeling is he thinks he has made the big time just like so many before him and he will fade into obscurity - sad but potentially true.
5.) 28 Mar 2024 12:46:51
Attitude issues by all accounts. Gave it all billy big baws at Hearts, but did very little and they cancelled the loan. Could have been him playing in the first team now like McCausland, but he's not got the mindset.
6.) 28 Mar 2024 14:09:54
Other issues apparently, as discussed on here a while back.
7.) 28 Mar 2024 14:15:56
Guys what’s the story with his attitude?
Out the loop here!
8.) 28 Mar 2024 17:29:44
Billy big baws, arrogant, story teller thinks he's above others, all been discussed Gersdaft on here many times, also dabbling in ? a pro footballer shouldn't be, last part is an alleged rumour, not mine. Shame boys a talent needs his ass kicked.
9.) 28 Mar 2024 22:00:26
Silly boy he will be punting THC vapes from his car in a few years.
21 Mar 2024 06:03:27
I see Hitc flagging up Leopold Querfeld again, a few teams after his services apparently, including us, unsure of the veracity of it though, may be pants and just a column filler.
1.) 21 Mar 2024 07:53:06
It's the sort of signings we should be going for young, getting plenty of game time at their current club and plenty of potential
Hopefully it's true.
2.) 21 Mar 2024 08:33:12
No point debating it tbh. We won't know who we're getting under the new regime until they're at the stadium.
3.) 21 Mar 2024 11:18:50
It is a rumours site tjn.
4.) 21 Mar 2024 11:23:50
Might as well just shut down the site then tjn.
5.) 21 Mar 2024 12:52:35
I said a few weeks ago that Querfeld would be a solid option.
6.) 21 Mar 2024 12:54:17
i think all the signings in Jan were mentioned on here before them actually joining us @tjn1872.
7.) 21 Mar 2024 16:48:52
Think that info was very late in the window IRV, club kept everything hush hush if I mind correctly.
8.) 22 Mar 2024 10:02:34
Yeah it wasnt getting leaked weeks n weeks before hand but was still mentioned on here before being announced at ibrox like he mentioned. Fork.
9.) 22 Mar 2024 11:43:38
I'm aware IRV it wasn't as you say early like some we get, was towards the end of the window as i stated, but as you say b4 club announced it?.
10.) 22 Mar 2024 18:44:42
No body was mentioned on here before they signed.
11.) 23 Mar 2024 01:54:49
We should be buying up as many of the best Scottish players as possible. We need a strong identity at the club and I think we have lacked that for a while.
Under Walter and souness, we always tried to sign the boys in league who played well against us.
I like the lad Watson at Killie and the 3 lads at hearts, Shanklands, Cochrane and Aussie lad Rowles. Motherwell also have a couple of tidy players in Spittal and Lennon.
Now I'm not saying all would play at same time but I think every one of them would make our squad stronger.
12.) 23 Mar 2024 14:10:01
Spittal has signed a pre contract with hearts already, but I get what you're meaning Richy.

Do u think guys that we tend to go for supposed "ready players" in the market? Rather than promote youth from the rank and file, opportunities seem to bypass some of the better youth to our cost, a few in here saying we are losing the likes of lovelace, rice, nsio and yfeko, that's just doesn't sit right.
1.) 24 Apr 2024 09:37:17
Problem is when do you give them a run in the team, especially 3 or 4 of them, when every game seems to be a must win or now that we have 6 cup finals till end of season?
(& yes I can fully understand why these lads want to move on)
2.) 24 Apr 2024 10:10:33
Would like to see these boys get game time this season if/ when we are in the cruise and 2/ 3 goals up. I know that may not be very often now! Play them through pre season and give them some momentum before the season starts. Time to play them or let them loose. Squad is going to be rebuilt and needs to be the best of youth mixed with proven first team ready players. I expect and hope for a lot of change in the close season.
3.) 24 Apr 2024 10:49:08
Our fans have never accepted playing youth players unless they were exceptional.
Just look at the reactions to McCrorie and McAusland the last two seasons, who did very well by any standards for breakthrough performances.
I've said before on here, our support has been the same with young players since Murray bought the club.
Even exceptional players like Barry Ferguson weren't immediately accepted. It took Advocaat coming in to make him a first pick. He should have been the season before, we'd have won 10.
Unfortunately, we're a support that struggle to accept our own youth players, we prefer to go and bring in other peoples who are arguably no better.
4.) 24 Apr 2024 11:09:54
Imagine the reaction if any manager played 6 or 7 young lads in the league Cup and they got beat! If your good enough your old enough.
5.) 24 Apr 2024 11:20:48
Think Clement will look to blood a few in next season, he has a history of promoting youth players at previous clubs.
6.) 24 Apr 2024 11:43:53
Why do so many people when speaking about youth jump to playing 6 or 7 at one time? When that would never ever happen.
7.) 24 Apr 2024 11:47:44
A think the Lovelace injury stopped him getting a run in the team, unless someone is the next Messi it’s all down to luck, McCaualand and Paterson would not of got a run if not for injuries and the player having sometimes just 90 mins to prove their worth.
8.) 24 Apr 2024 12:02:46
Young players need to stand out from the crowd by working hard on their fitness , strength and technical skills . Sadly a lot of youngsters think they’ve made it by being part of the youth set up, if they want to make the next step it takes determination and hard work. So many youngsters just fade a way after showing early promise sometimes it takes the shock of being told you’re no longer wanted for them to knuckle down, and this is across the whole football landscape it’s not a Rangers issue.
9.) 24 Apr 2024 13:00:14
A lot of young players are given the opportunity to train with the first team.
It's up to them to grab that opportunity with both hands when it arises.
The other issue is our expectations. McCausland done well when he first came in, was hampered by injury and is now being singled out. We don't exactly create an arena for them to thrive either at a club where 2nd is nothing.
10.) 24 Apr 2024 13:47:03
Good post mph.
11.) 24 Apr 2024 17:41:28
Boy blue I mentioned 6 or 7 as that's what many epl clubs do in the league Cup so used that as an example.
12.) 24 Apr 2024 18:11:41
They have to be good enough in the first place, you don't get to play for Rangers just because of your age. EPL have the best young players from all over the world we can't compete with that which is why you won't see an abundance of youth coming through, we have a better chance on getting failed youth from the EPL which are probably better than most players in the SPL.
13.) 24 Apr 2024 19:29:46
I'm all for giving youth a chance but from our academy in the last 10 years, realistically only Paterson and Gilmour have proven they were good enough, it's not like players leave our academy and then go on to play at a high standard somewhere else.
14.) 24 Apr 2024 22:25:25
Ows, that's because they're not really bothered if they win those cups mate. We always look to win every cup so wouldn't dare play 5 or 6 youngster's. Wasn't aimed at you mate just seems every time the topic arises, somebody always says what would the fans say if we got beat playing 5 or 6 youngster's? It wouldn't happen unless our manager didn't care about his job. 1 possibly 2, not 5 or 6.
18 Apr 2024 07:50:26
Any chance we had of getting any linked players like Arias, Spertysan, Lagoni, christ even Jefte seem to have disappaited, no ECL cash to attempt to be able to afford any of these players, pipe dreams that leaves us shopping at poundland. PC and Nils need to get creative.
18 Apr 2024 07:35:08
Sad state of affairs yet again, we have a left back on the bench, yes I know its borna, for me Sterling a RB, M/ F, Utility player is absolutely wasted at LB, would like to see him in M/ F or right side, if we get Yilmaz back, Sterling needs to be utilised correctly, dare I say it to replace Tav.
17 Apr 2024 22:33:21
This is going to take a while to fix. Players need to go, trotting out the same mince every time it goes tits up. Dundee wanted it more and fought for everything, we ran about n gave next to nothing, too many players not on it at all. Poor all over.
17 Apr 2024 07:57:15
Some amount of out of contract players on TFM, was having a nosey, David De Gea, not got a club? Only one that really stood out, surely we need to have a look through this market, obviously the management will know if there is a possible diamond in the rough.
ForkTonguesonhere's rumour replies
27 Apr 2024 11:56:34
Being saying that for ages Gal77. Tav and borna have been targeted for a while now, he's nearly 33 and on the slide, no room for sentiment for him or goldson or barisic.
26 Apr 2024 17:32:35
Keep the faith, I'm sure PC/ NK already know how much, and who they want to try n bring in. Also who's out.
26 Apr 2024 06:16:42
Dujon Sterling at R/ B, not a bad wish to have???.
25 Apr 2024 16:38:44
Disagree TT ??? lol. Get your point bud?.
25 Apr 2024 15:18:36
I like big Dessers, he's done reasonably well, your right SWS he doesn't get enough credit, but to be fair he does need to be more clinical, suffers from "to many minds" at the crucial time n gets all fankled up.
ForkTonguesonhere's banter replies
27 Apr 2024 12:04:59
Tav not turning up is becoming more frequent lately.
27 Apr 2024 12:03:37
Cheers RTR, I thought he done well when he played, better than goldson for me too bud?.
27 Apr 2024 06:30:25
He's hardly going to come out n say, aye were getting shot of our defence, some of the midfield and maybe some forwards, think a few will go and some younger players with potential sell on will come in.
27 Apr 2024 06:26:05
Has he not had his troubles to seek outwith football, sure someone posted on here in relation to that.
26 Apr 2024 20:30:36
Still think he'll go tbh SWS, but your right, time will tell bud.
