Saw this in the Dutch media. Would be great if we get this one over the line. Not had a decent LB in years.

Several dutch outlets on twitter say we have made an approach for him.

This lad looks decent.
Getting him on a free and then a fee for Ridvan would be good business.
Looks like it will be pre contract with him replacing Ridvan in the summer.

I’m not really supposed to be wanting a LB this window with what’s needed up front, but I tried to watch of Smal as I could possibly find and after looking I was sold tbh. What a great ball this guy has on him- honestly superb. I’m very surprised tho PSV or whoever haven’t gone for this guy. Really surprised.
Extremely talented player, and would give us the correct balance, we’d be very dangerous from the left. But because this guy does create a lot of chances from LB, it would then become even more important to get a goalscorer. This is one I want it improves our starting 11 big time.

Not had a decent left back Carluke?
Very harsh on barasic.
The guy has been immense for us over the years.
Mangabey your expectations of where we are as a club and a national game these days better mate.

Barisic has been good servant for us was great in our European run too.

Funny how most of goals come down tav and goldson side but left side always cops the blame.

we have had 3 very good LB's over the years, Barisic, Bassey (even though he was moved to CB), Yilmaz.
Smal will join on a free pre contract no doubt either done or being finalised.
Deals are also being kept on the low down to keep the other mob cluless, less they know less they try and out do us with deals of there own, there latest signing is a dud lmfao.
Were are already levels ahead of them with the Silva and Diomande deals.
Silva will now move to LW to fill the void left by Sima being out.
We will be bringing a CF in now my bet is it's Batsman, can do a job for us and has European experience, fits Clements style of play, if he wants to increase his chances of being a regular pick in the Belgian international squad with the Euro 2024 coming up, he will need regular 1st team games, where better for that to happen than at rangers, where he has 3 competions to get the goals that increase his chances, and of course Koppen, Clement, Van der Heyden are all Belgian, and Both Raskin and Dessers speak fluent Belgian.
It's a no brainer troops.
Expect a late announcment of this deal, remiander of season loan, then we get him for free in the summer, if the 1 year extension is activated, we buy him for a cut down price 2-3 mill.
Imagine that attack .
LW Silva, CAM Diomande, RW Manhoef, CF Batshuayi OOOFT!
2 done, 2 to go.

Just checked, if we some how pull off a late deal for Michy B, he is not eligble for europe, has already played in the starting 11 for Fenerbahce in the Conference league, Can only play for us in league and cup games in SPFL.

Chris Jack has been wrong before four lads saying different.

Usually because Tavs out of position, teams are targeting it because of his attacking forays, swings n roundabouts guys.

Thats not correct. You are no longer cup tied in European comps.

NRD I was going to look up to double check this but u have already wrote it so I’ll just leave it.
I’m pretty sure diomande and anyone else from previous rounds are eligible as img as it’s not same competition.
Is that the case?

Laudrup yes he can play in Europe.
19.) 24 Jan 2024

Not true. Diomande played in the Conference and can play for us in the Europa. Batsuayi, Manhoef, Diomande and Smal would be a miracle window. So not happening.

Fair enough guys, my mistake i must have been looking at prior Uefa regulations.

I manage my expectations high Stevie. LB has been a problematic area for years. Barasic is absolutely woeful and couldn’t tackle a fish supper. Yilmaz is not much better with his positional play and his passing is diabolical. Sorry to say it but these two were never Rangers class. There lack of silverware is proof of that. I have full confidence in PC and Koppen and from what I have seen so far they will bring in a far higher standard of player to us. Quality over quantity ??.
