Just been told that Dahl is practically signed and will be first in the door come Summer
Passing on what i heard, boys.
08 Feb 2026 10:56:06
Thanks for the update, my friend.
I am issuing no further updates at the moment on this one.
08 Feb 2026 11:09:29
Great news, Ayrshire.
08 Feb 2026 11:10:02
Hopefully this is true, but we should really be working on finding our long term 6. I believe Aph has said numerous times that isn't what Dahls game is.
For me, this is one of our weakest positions, and we have players who are not suited to this role trying too hard to fill this position.
08 Feb 2026 11:19:43
BbJ, my opinion is he fits the Declan Rice mould a bit better.
Plays as a 6 for Norway U21s.
I think he fits the 6/8 hybrid role better, but I am also not a coach.
08 Feb 2026 11:33:14
According to the news this morning, he's just signed a contract extension.
08 Feb 2026 12:28:03
Yeah, I've seen you mention that a few times, Aph, and I would really, really like this lad signed in the summer, but I would also hope we are looking for a 6 who will just play that role and be dedicated to that role for us. We really miss someone of that ilk who dictates our tempo.
08 Feb 2026 13:01:10
Lot of noise about this one, then he extends his contract. Not sure anyone posted that would happen on here.
08 Feb 2026 13:14:19
Dahl apparently signed an extension with his club.
08 Feb 2026 13:14:58
BBJ, to me it looks like Tochi Chukwuani is going to play the 6 role long term.
08 Feb 2026 13:56:54
FB, Tochi looks, again, more a player that likes to get forward, and much more of an 8 to me. I just want us to sign a 6, and only a 6 type of player.
Time will tell though, and maybe we already have a plan. Just have to wait and see.
08 Feb 2026 14:57:57
I agree with FB, Tochi looks like a 6, strong, powerful, wins the ball back. If Dahl is coming, i'd slot him in just in front, linking the forwards.
08 Feb 2026 15:53:46
Silas Anderson?
08 Feb 2026 16:25:56
I am issuing no further update on this one, lol, really.
08 Feb 2026 17:32:03
Why are you issuing no further update, Aph? I'm intrigued to know.
08 Feb 2026 17:37:00
Here's hoping both Dahl and Elliot Stroud are signed for the summer. 🙏 If we can add these 2, we'll have a very strong midfield. 👌🇬🇧
08 Feb 2026 17:47:02
Foreverrangers, and you just prove his point. 👍.
08 Feb 2026 18:06:41
You get it, Angus.
08 Feb 2026 18:27:08
Petty, pithy, and pathetic. Doesn't matter what's said, some pick fault regardless. cba with that mince.
08 Feb 2026 19:27:47
SWS, have you seen much of this boy, Stroud?
08 Feb 2026 20:35:11
No, i haven't seen much of Stroud. Just saw clips, and his midfield goal scoring stats are very decent. Why do you ask, mate? 🤔 Have you seen much of him yourself? 🤔
08 Feb 2026 21:02:10
Neither will be signed in the summer, as Dahl doesn't want to join Rangers, and this thread is the one and only time Stroud and Rangers have been mentioned in the same sentence.
08 Feb 2026 21:05:15
Lol Aphe, i can't see anyone asking you for an update, bud.
08 Feb 2026 21:36:12
Fork, I echo those sentiments, my friend.
08 Feb 2026 21:47:13
Ah, I see the 0-0 mystics have arrived. 🤣 This is a rumours page, and each comment should be treated as such until scarf pics. Nothing is 100%.
08 Feb 2026 21:51:04
Aph. 👍👍
08 Feb 2026 21:52:16
Isnt Tochi our six?
08 Feb 2026 23:45:14
SWS, I have seen nothing of him, but if he's linked with us, I'll have a look for him.
09 Feb 2026 03:36:33
Ayrshire Tattooist, you are very much mistaken. I am guaranteeing you Dahl is not signing, just like Silas Anderson isn't either and never was. Now, I'd love to get 1 of those 2 personally, but it ain't happening. I am calling out anyone who says any of those 2 are signing. Unfortunately, they are not. I will be happy to take any flak if I'm wrong, but i know from a very good insider that, while we had interest, the 2 boys are destined for bigger leagues than ours, and both players do not want to play in our league as their next step in their career.
That is 100% fact and, over time, i will be proved correct by the absence of both signing.
09 Feb 2026 07:35:39
So you've been told something. Until it happens or doesn't, it remains a rumour, nothing else. Oh, and that is a fact.
09 Feb 2026 07:37:22
Stiv, one Crackerjack pencil in the post.
09 Feb 2026 08:24:15
Stiv, you might well be proven right. But you do not know for certain, as you are not part of the recruitment team. 🤣 Me thinks you know as much as the rest of us.
09 Feb 2026 08:52:01
Oh my, sorry for passing on what i heard. Haha,
Chill out, troops. Its what makes this site great, all the 'Rumours' we hear and post.
09 Feb 2026 10:03:52
Ayrshire, keep posting, my friend. Your information is fantastic.
09 Feb 2026 10:08:45
Correct, Ayrshire, some still don't get that, bud. 👍👍
09 Feb 2026 10:27:00
Ayrshire, if you could just restrict your rumours to the ones I believe though, that would be great. 😉🙈
09 Feb 2026 11:14:25
Thank you, Aph, its appreciated, my friend!
Absolutely, Fork, this site would be a bit dull without all the great rumours we see.
Angus, ill try my best next time, buddy, i promise, haha.
09 Feb 2026 11:29:40
Look, I really respect Aphs post on players and really look forward to them, but he is acting like the main authority on Rangers while living, I assume, in Norway, and he's not exactly got much right.
And Angus, I think its you who has missed my point. If your referring to another line of posts of Aphs, then fine, I've not seen it.
So, on this line of posts, what exactly, to you, Angus, have I proved his point on?
Can anyone look to posts recently where Aph is not making himself out to be the new authority on Rangers? This was my point, Angus.
I was honestly fine with it until he said to other posters, are they ok, as if they had something wrong with them for disagreeing with his posts.
Otherwise, I really like most of Aphs post.
09 Feb 2026 12:14:15
Okay, bleed blue. I didn't answer you ever in this line of posts, and I think that would be mainly because, before your post at 11:29:40, you hadn't actually posted before 😉. So, impossible to respond to a post and miss a point you never made, and slightly confused tbh.
Some posters are obviously in a position where they get more rumours, so post more.
Does that make anyone the authority on Rangers? I don't take them to be that, but would hate to discourage them from posting, even if they did think that. But surely the point of the forum is to get information and discuss that information. Some posters seem to spend more time dissing the poster, hence the point being made by a few. 🤷.
09 Feb 2026 12:20:15
Bleed Blue, out of all of Aph's posts, I've never once thought he's made himself out to be 'the leader of Rangers'.
That's really clutching at straws, that statement.
09 Feb 2026 12:21:14
It isn't a fact, Stiv. Even if they don't sign in the summer, it's not a fact until it happens.
09 Feb 2026 12:30:03
Well said bleedblue, i also enjoy aphes rundown on players. I don't think anyone has a problem with Aphe, but you need to remember that everyone has opinions mate. Like everybody i hope you keep posting but just remember no one is out to get you. We come on here to talk about Rangers.
09 Feb 2026 13:49:09
Masterful, I hope also that you start posting. Perhaps your future posts after your first today will be discussions on Rangers instead of discussions on posters. 😉
09 Feb 2026 14:17:57
Agreed, Ayrshire, just stirring the 💩👍.
09 Feb 2026 17:31:16
Listen, guys, I'm not proclaiming to be part of the recruitment team, but I do have a very good inside contact who has given good and truthful information in the past. Now, yeah, if I'm proved wrong, then I'll take any flak that comes my way, but I am telling you all, Dahl will not sign for us at this present time. In the future, in a few years, who knows, but for now, or in the summer, he will sign for a different team, just watch.
Also, people, keep replies respectful. Just because someone gives different info doesn't mean they are a crackpot or troll from the other side, passing on what I've been told. And, to reiterate, I personally would have loved the boy to sign, as I rate him highly, but unfortunately for us, so do other clubs in bigger leagues with more resources, and the fact the boy wants to play as high as he can, then unfortunately we aren't an option for him.
09 Feb 2026 17:51:50
Agree, Stiv, just post on the issue rather than the poster, and keep it respectful. Both are only repeating what they have heard.
I am interested in how it turns out, but not to criticise the poster whose source was wrong. Things change, and there is a lot of moving parts, I imagine, before we even get to that window.
09 Feb 2026 18:20:59
There's a way to go about it, Stiv. You can't come and say it's fact. You can say, I've been told it's not happening. You can do that without basically calling others liars.
09 Feb 2026 19:17:16
100% correct, WishyBear. That's why he will be called out when you come out with the fact b***.
09 Feb 2026 20:12:53
Correct, WishyBear.
10 Feb 2026 01:14:40
Dahl's contract was extended by a year, from 2028 to 2029.
He will be a Rangers player in the summer. Nothing will be announced officially until then.
6 mill up front, 2 mill add ons, 4 year deal, 1 mill wage per year.
Was already posted on here.
He fits Danny Rohl main formation perfectly, 4231.
Which employs 2 hybrid 6s/8s.
6's when we are defending and 8's when we are attacking.
Chukwuani is a great example of a hybrid 6/8.
Ignore the media nonsense spinning mince about the deal, it was done after the Besiktas collapse. We offerdd 3 mill more, after their silly 5 mill low ball offer on a player valued at 7.
If we had more time after the Besiktas deal collapsed, Dahl would be in the squad now. It was too late to get him in, so it was arranged and finalised for the summer.
Stig Inge Bjornebye and Remi Wulff negotiatiated and finalised the deal with Tromso. The 1 year contract extension was already in place before Besiktas made the 5 mill offer.
Lets focus on the League and cup campaign instead of arguing about Rangers next signing.
10 Feb 2026 08:17:57
Laudruphagi, now I'm not dissing your info, but if a deal was indeed concluded in the window for the summer, why would he then go on to sign a contract extension? Seems strange.
For me, he either wants to stay or get the best possible deal for his club if he leaves in the summer, so I just can't see how any deal has been concluded with the player.
10 Feb 2026 08:30:31
Davie, read what it says lol. Extension in place BEFORE Besiktas, our deal done AFTER Besiktas collapse, extension to help get Tromso top money for JHD.
10 Feb 2026 08:34:09
Extension was agreed before Besiktas made an offer, then we went in. Read his post, Davie, as John alluded to. Also, Raskin extended, so is no one allowed to make an offer for a player who has extended? Clubs protect themselves.
10 Feb 2026 09:09:45
Wow! That's a very detailed description, Laudrup. I hope you are right. The only thing I will ask is, why we didn't secure it during the winter window?
We could have just offered that at the start or the middle of the window, and that would have dismissed Besiktas?
Also, why would they negotiate outwith the window? Are they that happy with the negotiated terms that they wanted it sealed? Seems to be a very reasonable fee for a player so highly rated.
10 Feb 2026 09:11:48
Fork, Wishy, Ayrshire, Angus, Strom, and Laudrup, thank you very much, guys.
And some wonder why it's best to opt out.
I have always been clear with this deal.
Rangers are favourites to complete the deal, but it remains difficult, as of yet not completed.
Information I had was Tromso have agreed, in principal, a deal worth 6.5 million euros, rising to 8 million euros.
I had been told it would likely be a 5 year contract, not exceeding 1 million euros per year.
This information can be checked via the archives.
One thing I will make clear is Remi is a great man and will advise Jens well.
10 Feb 2026 09:13:14
Laudrup, you are 100% correct regarding the contract, and again I have been clear that Rangers have been aware of this for a number of weeks.
10 Feb 2026 09:16:53
Reason for not completing during the window has also been spoken about at length.
Rangers were never willing to meet the valuation set during the winter window.
We attempted a different structure that was not agreed, and continued to negotiate structure after the window closed.
It really is that simple.
10 Feb 2026 09:43:16
Thanks Aph, this will be an interesting one to watch. The mainstream media don't appear to have caught on to this info as of yet, but I hope it comes to fruition.
The boy is only 20, so if we get him on a 5 year deal, then we can work on his physical attributes and get him developed enough.
10 Feb 2026 09:55:12
Sorry, not dissing anyone's rumours or knowledge on this but he only signed his contract extension on Feb 5th. Why would he sign a contract extension on that date if they knew a deal was in place with us as Laudruphagi states ( he does say he WILL be a Rangers player come summer)but then Aph is saying nothing is yet in place. So many contradictions on here. We either have an agreement in place or we don't. If we have one the contract extension wouldn't have been necessary and it surely would've been announced because why hide it.
The player and manager himself have also stated they're looking forward to the season ahead. Personally I don't think he'll be a Rangers player come summer. And fire in, I know you're going too😅 seems if you don't agree with certain people on here you get lambasted, probably the reason why guys like Shota have disappeared from the site. It's very uncomfortable reading at times.
10 Feb 2026 10:09:48
Rwn, can I please add that the contract extension was not announced to fanfare? It was completed quietly, just like Nico Raskin.
10 Feb 2026 10:43:42
Ran, it will be interesting to see what happens. But it could have been to offer the player a higher weekly wage. Even if you had agreed to go to another team, no player is going to turn that down.
So, increase agreed before our agreement, and then signed because it was agreed. Not saying I have any insight, but it could be as simple as that.
10 Feb 2026 10:45:41
Thanks for the clear up, Aph, but Laudruphagi did state he WILL be a Rangers player come summer. He's obviously been told this. While you yourself state nothing is agreed, it's either one or the other. Does this mean what Laudruphagi has been told is wrong? Laudruphagi, has someone told you this, or is it just what you wish to be true?
10 Feb 2026 10:48:39
What part of signing an extended contract with an agreed exit clause do u not get? Things are fluid in contract negotiations, and the club moved to protect themselves, as has been alluded to by quite a few. Raskin signed one.
They know we want him, so they have extended with the clause to meet the valuation they want. Its not that hard, really, and if things change they're protected either way.
It's a rumour/debate site and opinions vary. I've been assassinated on here quite a few times, fell out in heated debate, but speak again on the next subject that arises with the very poster I've lost the rag with.
It happens, and it's not personal. Nearly took a fatwa out on Star 😉🤣🤣 only kidding 👍
It can be frustrating and disrespectful at times, on that I agree. Christ, I've left loads of times, but always come back. Usually to everyone groaning because I'm back 😉
Nothing is personal on here, although at times it does feel that way. Best not to take differences to heart. Accept or don't, it's up to u, then move on to the next debate. 👍
10 Feb 2026 11:25:50
Fork, it's not just about the contract extension. 2 regular posters are saying very different things. 🤦 Laudrup has went as far as to say Stig and the guy's agent have negotiated and finalised the deal. While Aph has stated no deal has yet been finalised, negotiations ongoing.
All I'm asking is, which one is it? 🤷 That's where the contradictions come in, only one can be right. I'd love us to sign him, so it'd be good to know whose info is correct. They've both been told very contrasting info, to that you must all agree.
10 Feb 2026 11:41:28
I get that, RWN, but I'm only highlighting the extension is signed with an agreed buyout by the player and selling club, bud. As the buyout is in place, we would need to provide that to get the player.
There may be a gentleman's agreement, if we meet it we get him, but things change very quickly.
Laudrup may have been told yes, Aphe has no confirmation.
As I said, I was highlighting the release clause on the extension that protects the player and selling club, mate. 👍
10 Feb 2026 12:01:02
And it is all very hypocritical on here. When someone disagrees with a rumour, or disagrees with someone stating fact, they get jumped on. Or it's the old 'its a rumours site', yet when Stiv disagrees and posts that he's heard from what he believes to be a very reliable source it's not happening, most still have a go at him.
The same guys who had a pop at a poster last week because they didn't believe/agree with him are now having a go at Stiv because he disagrees/doesn't believe a post! Hypocrisy at its finest.
10 Feb 2026 12:04:40
RWn, 2 different posters have 2 different sources who are being told 2 different things. They are both rumours, so either could be right. In fact, both could be right, or neither could be if it doesn't go to plan. Just need to wait and see the scarf over head picture first.
10 Feb 2026 13:12:11
Rwn, it hasn't happened yet, so it does remain in the realms of a rumour. It's not a fact, that's why people had a pop at Stiv. However reliable the source may be, it remains a rumour till it actually happens, just like all the other rumours that appear, bud. We may say gd info or not, but it's still a rumour. 👍
10 Feb 2026 13:16:11
He disagrees, bud, but states its a fact. Its not, as it hasn't happened. That's why people are questioning him, not the disagreement. It's because he's said fact, that's why.
10 Feb 2026 13:24:52
Not sure why everyone is getting their knickers in a twist. If you don't believe the posters, great, just wait and see what happens in the summer. Either he signs or he doesn't, its not a life threatening condition.
10 Feb 2026 13:29:32
Dont see how they moved to protect themselves when the player already had a long contract, from what was reported, without an escape clause.
Are people really saying the only reason he was given a deal is to increase his wages when he's to be sold anyway lol, yeah cause that really makes sense.
An extension to a contract always means to get the selling club more money, and if we couldn't get a deal done before this contract, how are we expected to get a deal done after it?
Only way I see it is if a deal is made on the basis of someone like Raskin being sold, and part of that fee then goes to buy this boy.
But, again, if you're a selling club and he has a long deal and a World Cup on the horizon, why would you even consider that? You would wait and hope he makes the squad to bump up the price.
10 Feb 2026 13:31:40
And again, just want to say I really do like Aphs posts. There is nothing personal here. I maybe could have worded my post better.
Casting doubt or disagreeing with a post does not automatically mean you don't like the poster, which some seem to think here.
10 Feb 2026 14:00:07
Geesadodothat, exactly. But that's why I'm now getting my knickers in a twist😅 it's not right to have a go at people who don't agree on things. There was no need today for people to have a go at the posters that didn't agree with the original post because they disagree/don't believe it.
It's doing nothing for the site but bringing negativity. It's mostly an enjoyable experience on here but days like today will be putting people off.
10 Feb 2026 17:00:53
Rwn, it was the first set of posts where people were giving Aphe a hard time for saying he was not giving any further updates. Seeing that this thread has now lasted longer than the biblical floods with the to-ings and fro-ings of the discussion, is it any surprise he said that. ;)
10 Feb 2026 22:30:29
And another one practically signed but not actually signed. What's the diff? Because, until signed, it means nothing.
11 Feb 2026 00:14:30
Also, guys, just to clarify, I'm not for a minute saying any of these posts are lies that say Dahl will sign. If that is their info, then so be it. I am just saying I have been assured, at this present time, Rangers will not be his next club, unfortunately, as I really rate the boy. Same with Silas Anderson, there was a tentative enquiry about him from us, but again the boy and his agent believe they are going to a better league on his next club.
Just letting people know because I have been categorically assured no deal for Dahl is done or will be done for summer, but let's see what happens and who will be proved correct. But again, everyone is entitled to post opinion or disagree, that's the beauty of pages like this.
