Heard from a good source that Kent will sign a pre contact with Burnley. VC is one of Kents Idols. Watford also keen on him. Hopefully Vincent company gets offered another job and that kicks that into touch. We cannot compete with the wages, 60k a week being banded around with a 2 million signing on fee. That sets his family up for life. I am raging we paid 7 million for Kent and never got a return. Not too fussed with Alfie he only cost a million so not as if we are down that much when he leaves in the summer.

Would hate to lose 7 mill on kent on thr plus side we've signed multi million pound players for pennies. Lunny free, cantwell and raskin small fees compared to there value.

I see your thought process Walter but I cannot see Kent going to Leeds now. I doubt very much he would start 5 games a season. Top of championship for him where he gets good money and a start every week.

See your point Paul, hopefully Cantwell can increase his value as he is valued at 1.5 millions and Raskin at 3.5 million. Need both players to have a good last 6 months and a smashing year next year in Europe, wheather that ECL or Europa and their values should definitely increase 100% maybe even more.

If he goes he goes. I rate the guy but what we lose in his ability to beat a man we will probably make up in added goal threat which we lack.
Area is well stocked with good quality even before the summer window.

The Buff will be a bigger loss from team perspective than Kent imo (should they both go) .

Kent has improved under MB, but I wouldn't break the bank to keep him, I believe he's our top earner at the club, looking at what we've spent on him, from the transfer fee to bonuses and wages, we didn't get value for our money with him, we need to cut our wage bill, far too big a squad imo.

Surely if Kent went to Burnley at the end of the season he wouldn`t be playing at the top of the championship as they are a cert to get promoted. So assuming Leeds stay up he would be playing at the same level no matter which of the two he joined .

I don’t agree that we spent £7m on Kent and never got a return. The boy was pivotal in numerous good European runs under Gerrard, delivered arguably the greatest league title in our history and then got us to a European cup final last year! I’d say that was a pretty good return for £7m. Yes we might lose him for free now but how much did we pocket from winning runs in Europe and the league title which he contributed massively too. You’ve got to take the rough with the smooth in terms of player sales, we might lose Kent for free having spent £7m but we sold Patterson, Bassey and Aribo for about £40m without spending hardly anything on them. Just the way it goes but regardless of whether he leaves for millions or for free we’ve had value out what we paid for him.

Totally agreed fruitbear. We need better quality though. He went missing in the ECL last season when we got pumped from everyone and have the abysmal title of worst ever team. We need better players all over the park now. Upgrades on them all. Our team is good for SPL and Europa standards but that out wack I say.


11.) 07 Feb 2023
07 Feb 2023 13:40:33
Have seen better players replaced in the team over the years. If he stays great and goes then a chance for some1 else to shine at us.

Jb tramsfermarkt has raskin valued at 7mill. A year ago norwich told villa they would meed 35 mill to get cantwell.

07 Feb 2023 13:59:22
Think Burnley or Leeds would be a decent move for Kent.

He'd be a big miss for us, but I'd trust Wilson and Co to find a suitable replacement.


14.) 07 Feb 2023
07 Feb 2023 14:29:46
Could look at it that they have been here a long time, won the league, got to Europa Final and into the Champ league GS. So they have more than paid for themselves, also we've benefited from signing players for free or massively reduced fees from end or near end of contract situations.

If they go hopefully there is an axe or two up the sleeve of RW lol.

Axe hahaha. Sign it or you'll get chopped up and fed to the pigs. I meant Ace obviously.

Losing both Kent and Alfredo for nowt is criminal . not up for question. Both starting to look a lot better recently and if it continues clubs will 100% be eyeing them up on free transfers.


17.) 07 Feb 2023
07 Feb 2023 15:02:45
Yes, JB this is absolutely bang on. Burnley in their fairness have been very respectful. Agreement in place not announce the signing until end of season to avoid a distraction. Burnley had actually offered £2m in the January window, we turned it down tho.


18.) 07 Feb 2023
07 Feb 2023 17:11:45
Without Kent we wouldn't have got anywhere near as much European money. I'd call that a return.


19.) 07 Feb 2023
07 Feb 2023 17:38:41
Good luck to him, if his ambition is to go to Burnley and fight relegation every year for a bit more money over challenging for titles and trophies and playing in Europe then it says a lot.

Really can't see Kent to Leeds the have better wingers at Thier club right now .

Maybe if they get relegated they would be interested but then I can't see Kent being interested if that's the case Burnley a decent shout they will want to boost squad numbers and prob save on fees for a decent budget for a forward.


21.) 07 Feb 2023
07 Feb 2023 18:58:54
No way Kent going to Leeds Walter they have

Arnoson
Gnoto
Sinesterra

Who can all play that position.


22.) 07 Feb 2023
07 Feb 2023 19:02:51
Lol if it was already agreed no way do rangers turn down 2 million.

If Burnley offering 2 million was true we would have taken it and used that money o buy Whittaker and would be an easy explain away to fans.


23.) 07 Feb 2023
07 Feb 2023 20:34:33
That's right, we're so cash rich that we can turn down 2m even though we knew he was leaving for hee haw in the summer! Behave! ??
Was your source the same guy that told you Lafferty was signing in January?! Or McBurnie?! Or "Pep" Martindale?!
What is it with some on here? This guy is obviously a Tim whose taking the pi#s. Read his previous posts. He spouts a crock of sh*#e, and the ones that have replied to him, have been hooked big time! Disappointed lads! ??.

If Kent and Morelos don't want to be Rangers players they can jog on - let's see if anyone wants them in the Summer - both are replaceable in my opinion - we have gad a great return already from Morelos - Kent is different - very different if he had put that chance in at the Europa league final - personally I think they both want to leave.


25.) 07 Feb 2023

Bought a car 5 years ago for £7000.

Has been a great run around but has had a few breakdowns along the way.

Always serviced at a dealership

For the past year I have tried and tried to get my money back but no-one offered anything close to £7000 so it now looks as if I’ll have to scrap it for nothing.

Like Kent, can’t believe that I have wasted so much money ~ disgraceful?.

Jog on Gregory really! I agree if they don't want to be here then let them go but they have been good servants to our club and I'd maybe not be disrespectful.

I get it's frustrating seeing them walk but I'm sure the club will still be working on persuading them to stay and so will Beale.

So fingers crossed ? I kinda get where it's frustrating I felt similar with goldson last year but now have a lot more respect for him didn't chase money which could have easily done just wanted to see what options were available and more than entitled to do so.


31.) 08 Feb 2023
08 Feb 2023 19:43:45
Goldson had and has had no offers better than Rangers that's why he is still with us - the talk about West Ham etc complete nonsense and if you think i am being disrespectful by saying jog on then i can change it to please leave then if you don't want to be at our club, oh but what happens when you think you are in demand then you realise you are not? You stay where you are and collect your wages . not my type if favoured players.


32.) 08 Feb 2023
08 Feb 2023 19:50:58

33.) 08 Feb 2023
08 Feb 2023 21:06:26
In my humble view, Kent should sign another deal as well as Buff. Sign an extension, and when their value goes up, then they could move. Give us the funds, they play in Europe. Winner all round.


34.) 09 Feb 2023
09 Feb 2023 00:25:53
Fair enough Gregory I just think when you sign a deal and you've honoured that deal your entitled to do what you want wasn't Kent who decided 7 million that was probably rangers fault if we had bought him straight away instead of loan it would have been a lot smaller fee as he was already of the back of failed loan prob is we played him to a player of year position and increased his value club though 7 million over the contract period was fair and he always gave it his all so I would never judge him for that the club know what they are getting themselves. into when they sign people for huge fees.


35.) 09 Feb 2023
09 Feb 2023 00:31:18
And on the you don't want to be here players I would agree with you but I'd try sell them with a year left regardless if fee smaller than should be I only want 100% committed players but that doesn't always work and in those cases you simply have to say thank you for your service and good luck and goodbye.

You should be looking to do a deal with a player when he has 1.5 season left at minimum and let them know we need to know our planning going forward if they don't sign you look to bring someone in to replace them and if it means them sitting on the bench for Thier last season then so be it.

JB starting to think you could be bang on hear if you look at burnely player playing Kent esq role just now he's in his thirties and might be looking for younger player.
