A few names that keep popping up on-line we're apparently interested in. Shalke04 CM Soufian El-Faouzi 23yrs old, conflicting reports on value between 4 and 10mil. Plymouth Striker Lorent Tolaj 24yrs old, valued between 5 and 7mil.
Metz RB Kofi Kouao 27yrs old, valued at 2.5mil. Then there's the others we've been registered as interested in- Bobby Clark, Elijah Just, Elliot Watt, Maswanhise (prefers move to English Championship). Cameron Ashia, James Penrice.
12 May 2026 15:14:01
There's also our alleged interest in Huddersfield Town winger Ashai. 🤔 Similar in playing style to Man City's Doku, apparently. 🤔
12 May 2026 15:24:18
Got to say I'm really excited that firstly, we are keeping a project manager, and now we are being linked with not 1 but 2 League 1 level players. That's us winning the title for sure.
Ashai has 3 goals, 3 assists, and isn't even a starter for Huddersfield, so nothing like Doku.
12 May 2026 15:28:23
I've put him up there, Sir Walter. 500k, 21yrs old, attacking midfielder. They've just triggered his year extension to keep him at the club until next summer, so they can get a fee if they decide to sell. He wants a move, apparently.
12 May 2026 15:29:41
Doku? I'm like Doku as well. We are both male.
12 May 2026 15:45:18
Ashai is only 19 years old and played 33 games. He scored 6 with 3 assists.
12 May 2026 15:52:50
Stuttgart are chasing him as well.
12 May 2026 16:06:15
Jim, cheer up please, I beg. 😂
Ashia is linked to Bundesliga sides, especially Stuttgart, for months, who currently have one of the better sporting directors in football, for the most part have had 6 very successful transfer windows. With a team who was very much struggling financially.
12 May 2026 16:10:21
How many starts, Mystar? It seems many places actually have different birth dates for the lad.
I, for one, am done with chasing players from down there and especially another project player! Look what we have ended up with because of it.
12 May 2026 16:23:05
If you feel that way, bbj, just don't go and watch them, mate, and it was the report that said the Huddersfield Town winger was a similar style to Doku because I can't comment on what he's like because I don't know anything about him.
Going by some on here, I think we should just give up now, incredible, so yous are. 👎
12 May 2026 16:28:39
Huddersfield Town? Ok, understood.
12 May 2026 16:35:06
I for one would not touch just with a barge pole.
His club play East End Mob tomorrow, and he's in jub cheering them on Sunday.
12 May 2026 16:35:50
Born in October 2006 Bigbluejim.
Burghger, does it matter which club he plays for? Why are many clubs interested in him? How many times you seen him play?
Probably the same as me.
12 May 2026 16:53:42
For crying out loud, what does being linked with Bundesliga sides have to do with anything? Matondo was linked and eventually moved for good money, and how did that work out?
Transfermarket and Google have differing DOBs, star, not that it makes much difference really.
Calb, I will cheer up pal when we are a winning side again. I, for one, am sick to death of signing English based players, and look how many we signed in the summer and how many have been a success?
Coops, what is incredible? That we want better quality of players signing than English League 1, that we want a better manager, or should we just accept being 3rd best.
Incredible you lot are that accept that standard!
12 May 2026 17:20:19
Bigbluejim, what league did Rangers get Aribo or Fernandez or Celtic O'Riley?
Does it even matter where he's playing now?
12 May 2026 17:22:18
Bigbluejim, I actually looked on Google after looking on the Tranfermaker first. October 2006.
12 May 2026 17:35:27
Suppose we should have signed Johnston or Kenny Miller because wait for it they played for Celtic. Get a grip, John, not signing a player because he was seen in a pub watching Celtic. 😂
12 May 2026 17:40:13
Jim, I'm sick to death buying players who lack quality. The issue I have here is you decided to pick on one player named from a list because he plays in England. Yet you're very happy to defend Antman, a guy who struggles to make a sub appearance, nvm a start, proven he very much cannot play in a Rangers shirt, and from a league who both us and the team across the city have had repeated failures from.
Should we never sign another Dutch league player?
Quality and league are two completely different things.
12 May 2026 17:57:35
John, I wouldn't take just either.
I'd that Watt as a back up mf.
I'd take Maswanhise as one of 2 rw with Curtis.
I'd take Braga as a first pick left forward.
I'd take Graham as back up left cb.
I'd take Fraser as back up left back.
I wouldn't want Watson.
12 May 2026 18:17:07
Mystar, you have managed to mention 3 out of how many? Also, I don't care about Celtic, but even including them you can still only name 3 from the what? Last decade?
CalB, not sure where here I have defended Antman? I haven't even mentioned him once in this thread, but since you bring him up, did you watch his debut? Many on here were saying he was a star in the making, then RM changes how he played, then he gets injured, then he doesn't get a start.
So I can't really judge the lad as I've hardly seen him play much.
Not that I disagree about our signings in recent times from the Dutch league being nothing short of a disaster. But no, I'm not picking one player, just referenced we are now linked with 2 league 1 players which is a standard of league we shouldn't be looking at as it has been a failure. Oh yes, many will say what about Manny, he has been a success. Has he though, as he is vastly overrated by many!
12 May 2026 18:31:30
Big Blue, if someone offers major money for Fernaysell with a good sell on clause, I don't think we would get offered big money next summer.
12 May 2026 18:38:21
You would be as well taking to the wall, My star. 🤔 Whoever is Rangers manager will absolutely get my full backing, and I'll be there again next season supporting my club, God willing. 👍 Have been doing it for 50 years now, and I'll continue doing it until I draw my last breath.
I wish our manager/head coach and everyone connected to Glasgow Rangers all the very best of luck for next season and beyond. 👍🇬🇧
12 May 2026 18:59:00
Would sell in a heartbeat, John, for any kind of profit, as I agree we won't get any big offers after this summer.
Coops, honestly, that's great, and I'll always support the club no matter what, but it doesn't make you any less of a supporter to ask for better than 3rd!
12 May 2026 19:04:48
So you won't judge a lad because you've hardly seen him play, but more than happy to judge a player you've never seen play. Make it make sense, man.
12 May 2026 19:09:05
I am with you on this one BbJ, it's madness as he will be out by December if he stays. Fed up with utter crap from the English leagues and we will never learn. BbJ, I can't see Mystar posts now thankfully, but I take it he mentioned the only good players to ever be signed from those leagues but didn't mention 100s more than have failed, especially one he backed to the hilt in Rothwell.
You aren't any less of a fan than anyone else on here. That's Coops at his best and he was mentioning people think the run this site when he is one that thinks he does. 🤦♂️
12 May 2026 19:14:36
Of course we all want to be champions, never mind 3rd, BbJ, but let's get behind Rohl and our club and give him our 100% backing, hoping he is successful, because none of us know for definitely what's going to happen and he absolutely could go on to be a successful Rangers manager. 🤔
12 May 2026 19:23:40
Way I see it, let the recruitment team do the job they get paid for, much better than going with fans that's never seen them play.
12 May 2026 19:39:34
John, I agree we won't get really big dor next summer, mate.
He's got a lot of mistakes and bad concentration in him.
I'd look to sell this summer for sure.
£20m with 20% would suit me.
12 May 2026 19:43:23
Calb, again, I never said I judged the individual player, just pointing out that he is another League 1 player who is too young to be signing for us when we need winners and experience in our squad.
Keep picking up what I put and twist it any way you want, pal, but it doesn't change my opinion that we should be aiming higher than League 1 in England! If you are happy with that then that's great, you go right ahead celebrating 3rd place.
Enjoy.
12 May 2026 19:58:03
Nae bother, Jim. Whatever makes you sleep at night, pal.
12 May 2026 20:55:01
3rd place in the league doesn't make me sleep well, it gives me nightmares!
12 May 2026 20:56:01
Frustrated, I'm allowed my view, cheering them on every goal they scored, also he plays against them Wednesday.
12 May 2026 20:56:45
Stevie would be incredible if we got twenty million for Fernandes.
12 May 2026 23:17:26
I read this whole post and, although conflicting, both sides are right.
League 1 players. There will be gems. Fernandez is the best example. However, the lower we go, the less likely they are to succeed.
For me, we need Men to lead the wee boys in the team. Probably 4 leaders. The chances of getting that from lower tier English sides that pose the right level of football skills for Rangers is low.
We struggle to keep the ball, yet we go and buy players who want space to run into. There is no space for us in the SPL, so players who can dominate the ball and be brave to take it over exciting dribblers is what is required from our midfielders.
Also, for me, too many athletes in this side. Yes, you need an engine, but a good starting position and bravery in and out of possession beats an athlete 9/10.
Are there seasoned pros in leagues where dominating the ball is the name of the game? Get legs around him. Look at McGregor, no legs, but does enough to get about, but still dominates games.
13 May 2026 02:42:16
If we are just going to shop lower league England over and over, then I'm done, seriously. Do we never get it? Best talent in those leagues don't come to us.
13 May 2026 08:17:01
Just is a Celtic fan and Askou most likely their new manager.
No more loans please.
Clear out the dross and bring in Scottish players and get big Cyril back.
Nothing changes Rohl's inept starting 11s or inability to read our competitors' line ups and formations.
If I hear the youth are too young again I'll scream lol.
Teams across Europe's elite all have youth in the side combined with season pros who know their respective leagues. Madrid, Barca, PSG etc.
Must be at least 14 15 players need gone.
Season after season, same old same old.
