Rangers News Feed on Facebook running a story saying Billy Gilmour coming back on loan. Could just be click bait.

I seen some report last week about gilmour.

Heard it from a few different people this story.

Think there could be something in this story, would be a great signing for us.

This is under consideration.

It’s certainly at the forefront, my only minor issue is we are developing someone else’s player to detriment of mcann McKinnon Lowry.

6.) 23 May 2022
23 May 2022 12:54:04
Its not to detriment of others though is it John. We will play 50+ games so there will be plenty game time for all plus having a player like Gilmour alongside our young players can help develop their game. Its a win win.

7.) 23 May 2022
23 May 2022 12:57:54
Maybe be a good lesson to the young up and coming players that the grass ain’t always greener in the epl and jumping ship to early ain’t a good thing….

8.) 23 May 2022

Id rather go with our own young lads plus how many midfielders do we need wish we had more strikers that can score when needed.

9.) 23 May 2022
23 May 2022 13:03:26
I agree with you John but he would be a good signing for us and as coldo says we will play a lot of games.?

10.) 23 May 2022
23 May 2022 13:04:50
Cant have it both ways john you say we can't stand still. Gilmour is a level above any of our youth at the moment. I think if gilmour does come i think kamara will move on.

11.) 23 May 2022
23 May 2022 13:13:44
Correct John25, it's a huge detriment.
We seen it in the Cup Final.
Diallo ( who I quite liked ) getting a game before any of our young players and who then goes back to Man Utd.
And if you bring in Gilmour ( who I also like ) , it means we have a midfield before anyone gets sold of Lundstram, Arfield, Jack, Kamara, Aribo, Hagi and Sands.
Add in the potential for Mccann, Lowry and McKinnon takes us up to 11 players.
A lot of players to:-
1/ keep happy
2/ convince youngsters there is a pathway to the first team.

12.) 23 May 2022
23 May 2022 13:15:51
Paul, I know exactly what you say, Gilmour for a year leaves we could go backwards,
I’m not against the signing and certainly don’t doubt his ability.

13.) 23 May 2022
23 May 2022 13:22:27
Gilmour is top quality, you can’t turn down the opportunity to sign a player like that even if it’s a loan because of our youth, McCann is probably at the stage he should go to another spl side on loan, Lowry is irrelevant to gilmour. Gilmour is relevant to Jack, Kamara and lundstram, Jack is 20/ 25 games a season and kamara is liked a little further forward now but might move on, lundstram is nailed on starter as it stands.

{Ed002's Note - Gilmour is not moving to Rangers.}

It’s a non starter confirmed by Stevie from 4Lads, he’s Gilmours uncle.

18.) 23 May 2022
23 May 2022 13:36:06
Gilmour i believe contract expires next summer, with one year left in his deal we could possibly buy him this summer.

19.) 23 May 2022
23 May 2022 14:04:23
Why would we buy gilmour we let him leave.

20.) 23 May 2022
23 May 2022 14:12:09
How can signing gilmour be a detriment? What a load of garbage. So should we not sign any new players then as its considered a detriment? . We should always be aiming higher and if any players already at the club can't step up and compete then get rid. We should never knock back a better player than what we have whether its a loan deal or not just because young players might get less game time or we have 11 players in that position already. I have read some garbage on here but that is a belter.

21.) 23 May 2022
23 May 2022 14:37:23
Why would we not Tango? Just because we let a player go doesn't mean we can't buy them again. Strange question.

22.) 23 May 2022

Straight over Coldo's head. There is a difference from buying a first team starter than there is bringing in a player on loan to make up the squad numbers when we have youth good enough to play a few games.
Who do you drop for Gilmour?
Midfield 3 of Lundstram Jack Kamara. When Jack gets rested you play McCann.
When Kamara gets rested you play Arfield.
From the same Coldo who was creaming his pants at Gio giving youth a chance.
But now wants to bring another loan player in from another team that stifles our young players development.
I have read some garbage on here but that is a belter.

23.) 23 May 2022
23 May 2022 15:05:19
Gilmour doesn't make up the squad, he starts before any player we have in cm. Drop Jack kamara and lundstram, gilmour is hands down better than any of those. Gilmour is first team. Stop talking garbage.

24.) 23 May 2022

Ace great to see you returning to your coldo days trying to bully others. We’re all entitled to our opinion
Ed 1 called you out correctly, as always a leopycant charge it’s spots.

Not sure we can afford someone Chelsea value at 40 million
As always ph a well written post.

25.) 23 May 2022
23 May 2022 15:20:58
Gilmour a level above arfield kamara Jack mccann. If the chance to sign him on loan comes up we should be all over it. Mccann like others say could go to a hearts for eg for a year on loan to develop at spl level. People can't honestly say yhey would rather have mccann than gilmour for a season ???.

26.) 23 May 2022
23 May 2022 15:21:32
John with one year left on his contract the fee wouldn't be anywhere near 40 million.

27.) 23 May 2022
23 May 2022 15:41:03
Mark what do u think his valuation would be.

28.) 23 May 2022

It is emotional sentimental nonsense to reject Gilmour on the grounds of not developing young players. Gilmour is an outstanding talent - you bring in the best players you can. You always take the 'risk' if there is one. For every Aaron Ramsey there's been a Gazza.

29.) 23 May 2022
23 May 2022 16:02:20
Considering he's one year left on his current deal, isn't a first team starter with chelsea and just been relegated with norwich around 10 million, where are you hearing 40 million john?

30.) 23 May 2022
23 May 2022 16:06:27
Gilmour didn't want to sign pro terms with us, so he can forget coming on loan. We should be looking to bring through players who want to be rangers players.

31.) 23 May 2022

When he appeared in their CL squad lampard stated that was his sell on Claus.

Whilst you are all arguing about gilmour, what's his value? Is he batter than what we have? Why develop him instead of our own.

I'll answer all that for you. Just go on transfermarkt. com it's what every scout uses. It's gives you everything you need to know, gilmour is in the final 12months of his contract, so a 12month loan with a loan fee at the end could easily see him sign for us, Chelsea may even sell him for a reduced fee in January. He's not in Chelsea plans. Transfermarkt values him at 10.5m now I'm aware players down there go for double that value, so there you go I'm sure he would jump at the chance to come and play at ibrox again, beats playing for Norwich, some player we could turn him into and a good profit when he signs for Everton some point down the line. Anyway he's easily better than Jack and kamara. Hooe he signs.

{Ed001's Note - I have never known a scout to use that. They use sites such a WyScout to look at players.}

33.) 23 May 2022
23 May 2022 17:08:54
Mark if we could some how get 12 month loan with garenteed signing when contract up it would be incredible deal.
As I said guy on Saturday was adamant.

34.) 23 May 2022

Bassey is valued at £900,000 on transfermarket so we should just accept that for him, ArfieldSalute?
Sounds like some right good bargains to be had on there.

35.) 23 May 2022
23 May 2022 17:28:12
100% agree john.

36.) 23 May 2022
23 May 2022 17:55:21
imho mccann and mckinnon should go on loan to a team in our league, like a st mirren or ross county to gain experience of top flight scottish football, lowry must stay and be a regular for us next season, he's shown his quality every time he has featured and is definitely one of, if not the best, young players to break into our first team in the past 20 years.

37.) 23 May 2022
23 May 2022 18:56:24
Got it from good sources from 2 different people that know Billy, he won’t be back up at Rangers next season unfortunately.

38.) 23 May 2022
23 May 2022 19:00:20
MrPH in absolutely fairness to Arfield the site is ok to find out info ie. Loan deal if then return to parent club
How long there.

Where they have been etc, valuation is simply someone guess. Bassey as an example has increased in value dramatically over last two months and probably the last two games.
We all know a club have a value, buying club have a limit, but I’m very sure we could see some bidding war some day. Hopefully not this summer.

39.) 23 May 2022

As much as I like Gilmour, I don't see him becoming a first team player at Chelsea. I think the Norwich loan has definitely impacted his value. Would love to see us try and wangle an option to buy with any loan deal. Might be a big financial outlay for us but would walk into the team and be a great replacement for Davis. Lundstram, Jack and Gilmour sounds a great mid 3 to me.

Players only worth what a team are willing to pay. Diallo not worth 36m was he, I wouldn't even pay 3m for him. Basseys value on transfermarket will sky rocket next update. Go through the rangers squad all values are fair. A players current value has nothing to do with what a club may pay for them. but it's a good guide to go by. Jack grealish for example was valued around 25m when at villa, he's now valued at 72m at City, but City payed 105m for him. Its like a house guys, some estate agents might value your house 30k more than another, and the house hunter might over pay by 45k if they really want it. Depends on what the value is to them.

6months ago bassey was only a few million pound player, but now he's on that Alan Hutton rise, where every passing game he gets better and better, and that's why his value will rocket and also if he does get sold there will be many hats in the ring so the transfer fee will go up, I wouldn't take anything less than 17m for him now.
