A couple of weeks ago it was mentioned on hear about rangers paying off Roofe can't remember who said it was just to see if that's still the case.

See if he stays fit then sell might be the plan .

I can't see that happening, and it would be a mistake if we did.

Paying him off or selling him are certainly two different ends of the spectrum. Big earner that needs to be fit for either playing for rangers or selling.

Would doubt it he can still do a job when fit and given the amount we’ve spent on his treatments to get him to where he is now I can’t see us paying to release him.

No one is buying him.

6.) 14 Aug 2023

Nobody will buy him, he's too risky. He might go out on loan, and if he picks up another injury, he'd be straight back to us. He'll continue on as, pick up his wage, play a few games, score some goals, then leave for nothing at the end of the season.

Not sure how it works, but would medical insurance not pick up a chunk of the tab when he isn't fit?

Don't like the idea if paying him off unless we we going to save a lot of money. Ideally give him a free transfer if somone wants to take a risk on him.

Other than that keep him as 3rd choice, maybe offload in Jan with new team covering his wages till end is season. More chance of offloading him in the Jan window when teams take more risk with signings due to injury or league position. E. g. us with Ramsay.

Pity he struggles with his fitness because on his game he’s probably our best striker although it’s obviously early days on Danilo. Not sure about Dessers at all but deserves some time to settle but you don’t tend to get that in Glasgow.

Paying him off deal rather than paying out his wages till end of contract might be the thinking, he will certainly not get injured counting his money, well maybe not .

11.) 14 Aug 2023
14 Aug 2023 15:33:46
Why would we pay him off?
Just keep him and use him when required. Then he goes at end of season. Even if we get 1 game out him it would be worth it.

12.) 14 Aug 2023

Better keeping him till January and hope for a precontract to another club then make a deal to let him go for nothing as long as he doesn't want pay off for last 6 months.

Get him off the wage bill, anyone remember what he cost was it £4m, scarey that now is it not? 30 year old and things not going to get much better for him yes pay him off .

14.) 14 Aug 2023
14 Aug 2023 16:20:03
I think Anderlecht lost 3 or 4 £m on him so maybe the signs were there then.

15.) 14 Aug 2023
14 Aug 2023 16:21:05
1.5 million for one game I don’t see that as worth it

Total outlay on him has been ten million.

16.) 14 Aug 2023
14 Aug 2023 16:25:08
He earns around £1.8m a year, we are trying to pay him off with £1m which will free up £20k a week to spend on another striker… if we think they can have a better impact than Roofe will this season.

17.) 14 Aug 2023

He is on 35k a week bornabear.

35 grand a week? right get a settlement sorted asap.

19.) 14 Aug 2023

Getting one game out him is worth it? Ours fans have lost all sense of reality.

20.) 14 Aug 2023
14 Aug 2023 17:59:32
John Maths really isn't my strong point but £1.5 million for no games or £1.5 million for one game trumphs the former. No?

The Harlem Gobstoppers basket ball team don't get that kind of appearance money for the entire squad.

Youre right Raskin, some of our fans have lost their sense of reality.
Pay Roofes contract up and let him go when he is available to play is up there with some of the stupidest comments I've heard.
You have me mistaken when I said it was worth it. Of course it's not but even him playing 1 game has got to be better than none.

23.) 14 Aug 2023

Thinking would be, we offer 50% of wage to rip up contract and he then becomes a free agent to go wherever he pleases.
It’s how the pay off is structured instalment wise that could also be a sticking point and whether or not Kemar agrees to the terms.
I think we would want to do it in time to sign another number 9 otherwise we’d probably hold on to him.
I’ll get shot down for this but wouldn’t mind Shankland in his place as I think he’d be good competition for a place up top and straight into Euro squad.

More good business from Wilson ?

Yes yes can here the people bringing up fluke bassey stuff

Outside of that everything else either standard or poor and I'd credit gio more than Wilson with bassey.

Who cares how much he gets payed, people come up with these strange values, he either can or can't play and that's all should matter to us. I think he plays the Morton game. Guys had one season were he was fit and we won the league, he also scored important goals on our way to a euro final.

To answer a question above regarding Insurance. If Roofe suffers further injury and it relates to a Pre-existing Injury or Medical Condition then it is highly unlikely that the Insurers will pay out. I have seen situations like this before with an English Premier League Club made a claim on one of their players and claimed it was a new injury. When the Insurer investigated the Claim they found that the injury was a s a result of an existing injury and the Claim was refused. Depending on the extent of Roofe's previous injuries and the Clinician's report on recent surgery, any Club acquiring him, (even on a free), might not be willing to take the risk. They would certainly have to declare all pre-existing injuries to any prospective Insurer.

Gofor you are going aff your nut on here for us buying raskin cantwell and cifu for money when we could have got them for free by waiting and now you hope roofe signs a pre contract in jan but we just let him go for nothing then ?? that’s brilliant.

BB I don’t think the insurance will pay out as he was out injured with a hair transplant ?.

Get him out the door and save the wages it’s better than playing the odd game and being injured the guy injured himself celebrating a goal.

Goforbig Wilson has left he can’t hurt you no more. no need to complain about him it’s like a hobby of yours. Every chance you get.

See the people on here saying pay off this player and that player-it's not a shop worker on minimum wage. These players are on thousands a week and would cost a million plus for some to pay off their remaining contract. We don't have the money .

34.) 15 Aug 2023
15 Aug 2023 12:22:46
They don't get handed a suitcase with £1m a deal on the drip is done, alternatively you could keep paying the wages for a guy injured most of the time . or a deal for half of that and tata . It's even possible the player is trying to get paid off and has another plan, we don't know . We also don't know why Anderlecht dropped a lot of money on him with urgency, they lost £3.5m on him approx.
