Cardiff submitting a bid "substantially" higher than Rangers 5.3m for JHD.
Hopefully the boy doesn't fancy a stint in the Championship, but may force Rangers to act quickly and give Tromso the 7-8m they want.
14 Jul 2026 10:22:53
Delboy, if it happens it happens or we move on am sure we will always have a plan B.
14 Jul 2026 10:34:33
Signing for Cardiff would be the definition of football purgatory.
14 Jul 2026 10:36:01
Disagree, Allybear, we need to bid what the boy's worth, 7-8 million, and we will get him. Cardiff are not the team they once were.
14 Jul 2026 10:38:34
They offered £5.5M. Rangers are leading the race.
14 Jul 2026 10:44:41
We have over 6 weeks to go, but this one I feel needs done asap before he has a change of heart. 🤣
However I am paranoid & impatient by nature. 🤣🤣
14 Jul 2026 10:45:57
Going by a few posts on here the other day. I'd expect JHD to be a Rangers player mate.
14 Jul 2026 10:51:59
Some were saying it's a done deal, just the structure of the deal to be finalised.
14 Jul 2026 11:24:11
We have several moves that we cannot trigger until we sell.
Personally I'm happy the club are being prudent.
14 Jul 2026 11:32:44
EHL, do you know the positions for those moves?
14 Jul 2026 11:33:35
💯 EHL posting constant losses and needing share issues to raise capital needs to stop. Our owners know that also.
14 Jul 2026 11:35:08
I think it is a matter of sales first to enable us to finalise fee/make it happen.
I'm happy that the club are being prudent, as past years haven't been. The wages bill is the thing I worry about rather than the transfer fees - we need to get players off the payroll.
We do risk losing Dahl, but cannot risk the club's sustainability on any player. There will be other quality signings as backup if we do miss out.
14 Jul 2026 11:40:23
Someone said yesterday that a deal had been struck for Dahl and structure also agreed. So, looks like we are waiting to sell like others have said.
14 Jul 2026 12:18:36
This is one we are probably going to miss out on due to Butland being the only outgoing fee so far, we need to sell some players and it needs to happen fast or we miss our main targets yet again.
14 Jul 2026 12:26:09
We have spent the grand total of £4million this summer so far, and that's not counting the profit we made swapping managers. We were committed to spending £8million for Aso if he had been any good, and we know we are selling Raskin for a good few millions, so if we really want this boy, we should go get him before we get gazumped.
We were happy to fork out millions last summer on certain players while postponing issues, particularly in defence, by bringing in too many loans, which has left us 4 defenders short even before Tav left. More players will leave, but we shouldn't risk missing out waiting for it to happen.
14 Jul 2026 12:27:57
This deal is not one that involves other moves by Rangers, only by Tromso.
To replace him, as we will see him move after their window opens today. The deal with Rangers is agreed and has been a while. He wants to come over Besiktas and a Championship club. Rangers know Raskin is leaving.
14 Jul 2026 12:28:34
Someone said he'd shaken hands on a deal. If true, I'd expect him to be a man of his word.
14 Jul 2026 12:43:40
We offered 5.6mil and it was rejected by his parent club, so if Cardiff have offered 5.5mil then that will also be rejected. From what I hear, we will be going back in with a second bid of 6.5mil, as Derrek wants him for his midfield, especially seen as we are most likely missing out on Ferguson, as hearing he is going to Napoli on loan with a Napoli player going to Bologna.
14 Jul 2026 12:46:15
Getting Raskin gone is essential.
14 Jul 2026 12:51:55
Rangers will most likely know Raskin wants to leave, but he needs to leave at a price acceptable to us, and agree an offer acceptable to him. Then pass a medical. So it's no forgone conclusion yet.
14 Jul 2026 13:06:14
Unless something has changed, I don't think Raskin's move is as far along as many suggest.
14 Jul 2026 13:12:45
I think you're right, EHL. I imagine that it'll be another couple of weeks before we see any real movement on Raskin.
14 Jul 2026 13:24:26
Like Tielemans was completed in 2
Days, as a club met his valuation clause. If Raskin has an exit clause in his contract, he will be gone pretty quickly and most likely not for the amount we think. Hopefully the amount was renegotiated when he extended his contract.
14 Jul 2026 13:24:39
Ferguson is not going on loan to Napoli. There has been no talk of such move in Italy. Alegri has just taken over as Manager. His and the Club's preference is to hopefully sign Rabio. DeBrune has also stated to fans he's not leaving. This story stems from Scottish media sources.
14 Jul 2026 13:30:20
As per a strong source on FF.
Rangers going in today with a second bid for Dahl.
Original bid was rejected last week.
14 Jul 2026 13:39:41
I think the Dahl Transfer has been agreed for some time. The opening of the Norwegian Transfer Window will likely speed things along. Rangers have worked tirelessly on this deal since January. The asking price will have also been agreed.
Dahl signed a new deal back in January, allowing Tromso to make some money on their prized asset. The sale of any Rangers player has no impact on this piece of business.
14 Jul 2026 14:04:51
The best source for Dahl is Itromso. They have broken everything before everyone. If a bid had been accepted, they would be tweeting it.
14 Jul 2026 14:25:31
Norwegian window only opens today (for any Dahl replacement). My opinion is there could be an element of us lining dominoes up correctly. If we bring Dahl in "today", then our ability to look solid on value of other mids (Raskin/Dio) is lessened, as we are clearly overpopulated. This would give other clubs room to pressure us.
14 Jul 2026 14:47:32
Normally, I'd say look elsewhere, but if we are trying to get 5-8 million for Barron, then sounds fair to pay around same.
14 Jul 2026 15:35:18
I'd say Cardiff had a £5.5m bid KO and asking price is EUR7m, which is £6.3m, and that Rangers haven't submitted any bid yet.
Pay the £6.3m and get it done, Rangers. No way you can lose money on this player. His value will soar and we can enjoy having him for 1-2 seasons before then.
14 Jul 2026 15:38:05
I'd expect news of this new bid from Rangers in the media later this afternoon/evening.
14 Jul 2026 16:26:23
It is clearly more intelligent people than myself that are negotiating the fee, but if we were prepared to pay in the same region for Olsen then the money had to have been factored in somehow. All reports read positively about Dahl, so please pay the money and get the deal done.
I really like the business we have done so far and there is a lot of business still to happen in this window. Very pleased with the appointment of McInnes, I'm hoping he will bring a stability that we have not had with previous appointments.
