Rangers Rumours Mobile

any truth to the andy carroll rumours? picking up steam in certain circuls.

15 Jul 2020 13:47:43
Grand John. Just signed new deal at Newcastle.

15 Jul 2020 10:06:08
Another academy player possibly leaving. this is why I have no interest in us developing players as soon as they show a bit of hope they are gone.

15 Jul 2020 10:29:52
From what the rags are saying young kai’s wage demands are not willing to be met by us, is this a case of another youngster getting to big for their boots maybe?

15 Jul 2020 10:35:04
I also have to say that this could be bad advise from and agent at work here also, as for the teams interested in him, if he can’t or won’t break into our 1st team he has little hope of doing that at Bayern, Man city etc.

15 Jul 2020 11:03:04
These youngsters heads are turned by talk of Bayern Munich, Man City etc. In most cases their agents actively encourage a move.

15 Jul 2020 11:25:28
Hard for these players not to have their heads turned by clubs offering them serious money. Can go to city and hope it works out, make a bit of cash and if it doesn't still have a very promising career at a decent level.
or can sit in our youth team, never get a chance and inevitably get released and end up playing scottish championship/ league 1 footy on pennies.

15 Jul 2020 11:52:01
True. There has to be a path to the First Team. I have high hopes for the present crop of youngsters. The Lower Divisions in England and Scotland are full of Players who had "potential"

15 Jul 2020 13:43:23
Everyone says the records full of made up stories but this one we will all believe, strange!

15 Jul 2020 09:30:16
Just after reading a very good article by our former winger pieter huistra in the glasgow evening times online. Stating that the correct way to go is by copying the models of ajax, porto and red bull salzburg, in developing, finding talent and bringing through our talented young players, from our academy.

Huistra reckons that's what gerrard and ross wilson are doing and will continue to put massive efforts into this and building it up! So for some of our supporters who want/ think we can keep spending decent amounts of money regularly, it ain't going to be the way and it ain't going to happen.

He reckons we'll bear massive fruits if we're patient, as he believes in gerrard and wilson, we have the correct guys at rangers to achieve this model! Worth the read fellow bears and i tend to agree with huistra and in the near future we will benefit big time and go past the ANTHILL MOB! 👌👍.

15 Jul 2020 10:17:47
I have been thinking this for ages and feel the youth players at our club should be giving a chance.
This is the model we should be using i just hope our club and manager take notice of this article and start giving youth players a chance.

15 Jul 2020 10:20:16
But we don't play them coops.

15 Jul 2020 10:56:38
This keeps surfacing for as long as I can remember but nothing changes our graduation from youth team to first team is pathetic and totally embarrassing. Who was the last manager to give youth players a chance? A string of managers have come out with reasons not to play youth. In all honesty why would any decent youth player want to be part of our system? Teams in league 1 and 2 have better systems than us.

15 Jul 2020 11:15:43
Problem is we don’t play youngsters and before they even get to play regularly they want x amount of money and there heads get turned by bigger clubs.

15 Jul 2020 11:17:54
I forgot to say Ajax have plenty of cash in the bank one of the eds maybe be able to tell us more about them.
Am sure they have a lot of money due to players leaving for big bucks.
RBS plenty of cash as well to spend on players.

{Ed001's Note - yeah they are cash rich, just sold Ziyech to Chelsea for £50m and while the money is received in instalments, they have plenty coming in from previous sales too.}

15 Jul 2020 11:59:43
Who was the last player to step up from the younger teams in last 10 years cause i can't name one.

15 Jul 2020 12:34:47
If we fail to stop ten in a row, that's when we might really start to focus on youth, the expectation to win every game stops us using youth period.

15 Jul 2020 12:45:56
6 counties plenty stepped up when we were in lower leagues not one off then good enough. Where r they all now.
That’s why we had a total revamp and see Some signs of better players in academy. Ie Kelly, mccrorie, Paterson maxwell Graham Mayo young lad from Ireland.

15 Jul 2020 13:27:19
It sounds like a great plan but the trouble is we have no youth prospects coming through, it’s the most difficult thing in the world to bring through young players cause their heads are all full of money and riches it’s the way of the world now, and as soon as a better offer comes along most of the top prospects will jump ship, take Kai Kennedy for example I don’t know how much he’s after but it’s obviously a lot more than we think he’s worth. It’s a completely different culture over in Holland, Austria and Portugal! It would be amazing to see a steady stream of players coming through and representing the club like Ajax but clubs all over the world have been trying to replicate their system for decades but it’s still quite a unique club where that’s concerned.

13 Jul 2020 16:53:37
Rangers are plotting a move to sign former Tottenham defender Christian Maghoma, Football Insider understands. 👀.

13 Jul 2020 17:37:12
Im sure wee will be looking at a centre back after big katic sadly out for the season so very believable story.

13 Jul 2020 17:46:42
Don't doubt we're looking at defenders/ players.
I'd be very wary of believing anything on football insider though.

13 Jul 2020 17:57:57
I’d like to think if we sign another CB it’ll be one with a lot more experience maghoma he might be decent but at 22 I doubt he’s ready to walk in and improve the back 4 witch is what I think is required.

13 Jul 2020 18:10:51
I’m interested to see Amount of African players we are linked at.
I wonder if this is a new strategy going forward, very good value in that market.

13 Jul 2020 18:21:11
It will be a Scottish CB from a relegated team.

13 Jul 2020 18:25:15
How can a 22 not be a starter Fredo when he came? Kent? Hagi? If he is good enough then he would start at 22.

13 Jul 2020 18:54:12
We seem to sign young players as they’re cheaper with sell on value and 33 and over who have experience. Obviously there’s others we have signed in between but our main strategy does seem to be young and cheap with potential with some older heads like Davis, Shagger and Defoe.

13 Jul 2020 19:10:31
KJA9 I think what we are lacking at the back is experience a leader! despite Goldson being 27 he’s no leader helander 26 was new to the team but I never saw a leader in him either and imo a new signing at the age of 22 will not come in and lead the line at the back either I may be wrong it’s just my opinion.

13 Jul 2020 20:53:11
HB

You never mentioned anyone being a leader in your 1st post

You said you can’t see a 22 walk in and improve the back 4

Which is just utter BS

Also helander is 27.

13 Jul 2020 21:10:05
We need a Terry Butcher or Richard Gough type.

13 Jul 2020 23:40:24
Just need someone who is 6 5 and wins every header, simple.

13 Jul 2020 23:59:35
Football insider seem to spend years on a golf course, talking about transfers that never really happen.

14 Jul 2020 10:27:49
KJA9 Ok I never said it on the first post but I’ve said it plenty times before and so have many others on here, IMO we don’t have a leader at the back and we do need one. Do you know this maghoma? Are you saying that we should definitely go out and get him? That he will definitely walk into the team? I don’t know of him I’m just saying that I think we should get a more experienced CB a leader! And apologies helander turned 27 in April 🙄.

14 Jul 2020 12:27:48
This boy has something our back 4 is sorely lacking, pace. Reading about him he is big, strong, good in the air, can defend and fast. Was at spurs so can assume he has something about him and only 22. And free could be good bit of business.

14 Jul 2020 13:54:56
We need pace in our defence, especially at European level. Also, defenders who can attack the ball and who do not shy away from tackles.
