Been told that Tom Davies knocked back interest from us in Jan. No update as of yet on if there’s been any developments/ differences in interest from our side or Davies’.

Iheard, Maybe he did in January but why meet Beale a few times weeks ago?

Very much doubt he will be coming to us, he apparently knocked back fairly huge wages to stay at Everton, well over double what we’d be able to offer. So why would he come to us on vastly reduced wages when he could probably easily stay in England and get paid way more.

I'd be delighted if we got him. Great talent. Didn't actually realize Beale had met with him a few weeks back?

He won't get a team with Champions League prospects in England That could swing it for us. if he is interested and that's a BIG if.

Don't want him at the club tbh, we have plenty who can operate in midfield and would no doubt ask for very high wages. Guess the only plus would be getting him back on track and selling back to the prem in a season or two.

Beale my post is about Jan, I said I have no info on if there’s been any change from ours or Davies’s side on potentially joining now.

Besides I do not know his reasoning for knocking us back in Jan, that could range from not being interested in coming to us to wanting to keep his options upon in the summer.

He knocked us back as Everton convinced him he would play a bigger role that was hardly the case can see him coming now.

Tom Davies did not knock us back, as I understand it. We have to remember that at the time Davies was still recovering from a knee injury having subsequently had a Hamstring injury, (which was around April time), despite having had remedial work done on it the previous season and he previously had a knee injury.

Davies is Everton through and through and would have happily stayed at the Club had he been assured of first team football. That has not been forthcoming and it is the prime reason why he is leaving.

According to folks at the Echo his current wage is around £25,000 a week and we can certainly meet or beat that. With add ons relating to European progress and winning trophies his bonuses could easily increase that substantially and in any event, for Tom Davies, money is not the prime factor.

Will he come to us, I don't know. He would have no problem settling and he would have the opportunity to play in Europe and challenge for trophies, (something that is unlikely with some of the Clubs that I have heard mentioned in England that are interested in him) .
I am also hearing that there is an interest in Europe, in particular in Italy, and he would fit in well in their League however if we are interested then hopefully Michael Beale can convince him to sign for us. he is head and shoulders above Lundstram and Jack.
We can only hope!

I was on an Everton forum earlier and those guys were saying Tom Davies has suffered from the instability at Everton. Apparently there has been 8 different managers during his time there. All trying to implement different styles, and putting Davies into different roles, and he’s never been able to reach his full potential as a result. Maybe Davies wants stability and a fresh challenge.

Someone above asked why would Davies choose Rangers when he could stay in England and earn more money. We have Beale who has know this lad as a boy, and can offer Davies regular first-steam football and help get him back on track. We did this with Tavernier, Cantwell, and Butland.

Everton are one of the worst run clubs in the epl, I think Davies would do very well with us, he's supposed to have met Beale several times, if this is true, he must be interested in joining us.

I would have took him before but not now .

Rejecting us in January tells me he would only be joining us because a lack of options and he's not really committed

Also we already have that position covered and possibly cifuentes joining midfield too.

Very few players want to go anywhere in january, they have all summer to make massive decisions on they're future

davies can play here a year or twp in europe, then return to england, that's what will be pitched to him by rangers.

Am a everton fan as well as rangers let me say this Davis is a very good player but was more interested in socal media than football dressing in stupid clothing maybe he's grown up now after seeing what happened to deli Ali and lingard.

“More interested in social media than football” - Didn't people say the same thing about Cantwell when he was at Norwich?

When a team is being unsuccessful the fans go after anything and everything. I remember Rangers fans having a go at the players for watching too much Homeland and eating Nando’s when we were faulting under McCoist. I remember Celtic fans blaming Strachan’s iPad at one point when we were winning 55. Everton we’re faultering and so they have a go at Davies for using social media.

When a team is being successful nobody cares about these things.

Calm down Verdant Butland has yet to kick a ball for us.

I am calm, Foolmonty. In fact, I always had severe reservations about Butland. I’m concerned that we will lose McCrorie because we’ve signed him and that will be a massive mistake because we have such a promising young keeper at the club.

My point here is that we were only able to secure the signature of Butland because we can offer regular first-steam football. Even Lammers mentioned finding ‘stability’ after he signed. Rangers have much to offer players in terms of regular football, exposure to European football, and some consistency. A lot of these guys don’t want to be subject to constant loans, or to stay at a basket case club.

never believed mcrorie will be number one, still dont, love to be wrong but he's not on the same level as previous keepers.

McCrorie has been very good for Rangers whenever he’s been asked to come in. He's already been called up for Scotland and I think he can push for that number one jersey once he gets regular football. McCrorie is simply too good to be a backup keeper for Rangers for the next 3 years and he knows it. I honestly believe we will now lose him as the lad is ambitious and wants to play regular first-steam football. If he goes down south and turns out to be a really great keeper we’ll kick ourselves. We’ll also be losing a player who has both ‘homegrown’ and ‘trained by the club’ status which is vital for those European squads.

Tomthumb I agree, mccrorie not good enough yet, might be good enough in a year or two especially if he moves to England but not just now. Not experienced enough to handle the pressure of making the mistakes that would undoubtedly happen, mistakes can lose leagues and cups when at Rangers. I think Butland was the right move for us, better all round keeper.

Regarding Tom Davies I am told by a previous colleague that is close to folks at the Liverpool Echo that he believes that Davies would definitely be interested in a move to Rangers but that there has been no recent contact between the player and the Club.
Despite rumours to the contrary, Davies would be within our wage range, (he was on £25k a week at Everton and his new contract was not at greatly increased terms.
I am told that money is not the prime motivator with game time and the opportunity to win trophies his main motivator.
Clubs that have been rumoured to be interested in him include Southampton and Leeds and I understand that he has also been offered a contract by a Serie A Team, (AS Monza was previously rumoured to be interested) .
I remain hopeful that we are interested in him and that Beale will convince him to come to Rangers. He is an immensely talented young football player that has lost his way, most certainly not helped by the continuous change of manager and the upheaval in the Boardroom.
