Any truth in the Roony Bardghji rumours I've seen in a few places? 18yr old right winger scored 10 so far this season for Copenhagen.
At 9 million euros I smell Barry White.
1.) 19 Jan 2024 07:33:35
Wasn't a player I'd ever heard of until I seen he was linked with a move to Man City earlier in the week - remember it as there was some funny chat from the city fans about him having to change his first name.
Have to say though, I like that we're now being linked to a number of players from Scandinavia.
2.) 19 Jan 2024 08:22:55
I thought he done the sport for Scotland Today ?♂️.
3.) 19 Jan 2024 09:17:20
No this is his bro from
scotland tomorrow.
4.) 19 Jan 2024 09:27:54
Was it not him that lunged in on Lundstrum during the week with the shocking tackle?
5.) 19 Jan 2024 09:33:11
Lad could have been red carded in the friendly for a poor challenge. From the hullabaloo it sounds like he's already on the radar of richer clubs and I can't see us spending that on someone so young to be honest.
6.) 19 Jan 2024 09:40:15
He’s linked with the top clubs in Europe he won’t come here. It would be a sideways step in regards to his career as he could comfortably leap frog us and get into the top 5 leagues. From his perspective there’d be no benefit in coming here.
7.) 19 Jan 2024 09:53:36
Absolutely no chance.
He’ll have his choice of clubs in the summer.
8.) 19 Jan 2024 10:27:19
More chance of us signing Wayne Rooney!
9.) 19 Jan 2024 11:20:42
If we had £9m for a winger we would pay half that and sign Sima on permanent deal IMO.
10.) 19 Jan 2024 13:15:30
We won`t be paying that for and 18 year old winger .
24 Jul 2023 07:16:21
"ROTTERDAM - Danilo can earn 45,000 euros a week at the Scottish Rangers, which is more than double his current salary at Feyenoord. That explains why the 24-year-old striker is eager to move to the Scottish top club. And that departure will almost certainly come this Monday. " De Telegraaf.
1.) 24 Jul 2023 09:46:32
45000 euros is far more than double his current salary because he only earns 9400k weekly, very poor journalism again.
2.) 24 Jul 2023 09:59:11
So we are 45k to a guy who’s on £9400 a week? Not a good deal for us if the case and we must think he’s a great player as Feyenoord obviously don’t?
3.) 24 Jul 2023 10:32:27
So who's leaving as it would be top heavy with forwards, Matondo? Sakala? Roofe? as far as Roofe is concerned I would hope he is given some time to prove fitness, but if Danilo is in then someone will be wanting out no matter their fitness situation.
4.) 24 Jul 2023 11:51:52
Dry alll three out.
5.) 24 Jul 2023 12:20:07
John nobody be mental enough to pay money for roofe surely? Be good to get his big wages off the wage bill.
6.) 24 Jul 2023 12:35:19
Never mind Roofe Paul what about Matondo. Who on earth would think signing him is a great idea apart from us. 30 grand a week for someone who can run fast.
7.) 24 Jul 2023 12:35:43
Im not overly fussed about the wage structure, with the management we have at board level right now, i believe if we couldn't afford it, we wouldn't offer it. Its probably the most competent board we have had in a long while.
8.) 24 Jul 2023 13:18:11
45 euros is not as much as £45k, but even then I don`t see us making him the highest paid player at the club. We can more than double his current salary without going that high. Could be a Dutch paper writing an article to appease the Feyenoord fans about why the club couldn`t keep him.
9.) 24 Jul 2023 13:19:44
Matondo can do 100mph to get the ball then lose control and run it out first touch is like a clearance, Schalke dropped near £10m on that diddy . Someone on here suggested Wrexham but he will end up in the Welsh league at a club nobody could spell.
10.) 24 Jul 2023 14:20:16
I would hope we will try to offload Roofe now while he is fit because he’ll soon be on the treatment table again.
11.) 24 Jul 2023 14:24:14
John how likely we get the 3 forwards out?
12.) 24 Jul 2023 14:45:42
Suppose we can keep hoping Roofe gets fit for a while but if the guy can be moved on to save wages it might be better, don't see any buyers possible though. Saudi?
13.) 24 Jul 2023 14:47:22
DRB i can see Matondo going nowhere because no one will be willing to pay the wages that we are paying him.
Oryg I have a feeling Roofe will miraculously have a good season and find a new club get his last big move then get more real bad injuries for the length of his contract and retire a very wealthy man.
14.) 24 Jul 2023 15:21:56
Walter time will tell.
15.) 24 Jul 2023 15:25:46
Three Cheers tend to agree with you on all of that, if the likes of Matondo wants to sit on wages that's tough but we should have seen that at his last club who dropped a load of money on him. Roofe if injured we need to accept it, no choice really.
16.) 24 Jul 2023 15:39:39
Did roofe not have an operation? Who’s to say he can’t get fit and stay fit? Surely the sports science / medical team asses these types of situations?
17.) 24 Jul 2023 15:42:48
Whoever was responsible for signing and negotiating Matondo needs his arse kicked, how much did Schalke lose was it £9m christ if that wasn't a clue then nothing could be, even a poor Welsh national side wouldn't have him, I assume the guy at Schalke who signed him is now out of work?
18.) 24 Jul 2023 16:44:53
It's going to be a big ask from the club to get all these players out this window.
19.) 24 Jul 2023 16:58:27
You will see movement with players that are down the pecking order by end of window.
Wouldn’t be surprised if an offer came in for Sakala.
Maybe Matondo out on loan would be the best for player and us as he hasn’t played much and it would get him off the wage bill.
Same would apply to Roofe if we decide he could be moved on.
Just my take on it.
20.) 24 jul 2023 16:59:53
as john said the likelihood is all 3 will go, i think mstondo needs games but ut may be too kate for him, fashion isn't going to change, roofe. if he had 6 months clear fitness would be good but unlikely now.
21.) 24 Jul 2023 17:17:10
At current exchange rates €45k is about £39k however we don't really know the terms of the contract and I doubt the journo's do either. Surely, all wages are target driven and a good part of that monthly wage will be results based. Theoretically, that should be as good as money in the Bank in terms of League Games but this team will need to win trophies, presumably, to max out on their income.
22.) 24 Jul 2023 20:19:08
we look to add to midfield and attack but last season it was the
defending that ley us down on
seversl games.
23.) 24 Jul 2023 21:26:33
Defending on our left side was awful, that's Davies and nodding off regularly and cannot tackle Barasic the bomb scare, a guy who if he gets selected before Ridvan would be an outrage.
24.) 24 Jul 2023 21:35:28
Beale good post
You put only before £9400 a week.
Not bad weeks wages that.
Know what u meant though ?.
25.) 24 Jul 2023 22:31:19
Who leaving. Should now be main strategy to offload, c. we could get shot team load for best possible.
26.) 24 Jul 2023 23:47:52
I hope Sakala does not leave as i rate him highly and he has a lot of skill and pace just needs game time and he will start scoring goals.
11 May 2023 12:15:20
Evening Standard saying Dujon Sterling leaving Chelsea for Rangers.
1.) 11 May 2023 16:36:08
?looks like a good signing for me.
2.) 11 May 2023 16:50:07
Been told he's a very good player. But won't give us same going forward as tav. Can play anywhere pretty much. Would be a good signing.
3.) 11 May 2023 17:24:28
That’s good then Paul as we need defenders that can defend.
4.) 11 May 2023 17:51:40
Storm if we need defender that can defend where do the goals come from Tav and Borna contribute MASSIVELY to our assist and goals.
5.) 11 May 2023 17:53:51
R1- from a competent midfield and front 3.
6.) 11 May 2023 17:55:52
We need defenders who can defend and forwards who can score/ assist on the regular. I'd play Tav RW.
7.) 11 May 2023 18:40:23
Tav definitely needs pushed further up the pitch if keeping same formation. 352 would perhaps suit him and Yilaz big time.
8.) 11 May 2023 18:44:06
Tav can’t play right wing he’s not good at turning will getting the ball at feet how our fans still shout a him playing further up the park a will never know it’s like they never seen a game a football in there life’s lol he’s a attacking right back or wing back not a midfielder or attacker.
9.) 11 May 2023 18:51:46
He won’t be coming in to take tavs place anyway.
10.) 11 May 2023 19:34:07
Raskin if he changes our system to 3cb 343 or 3421 Tavernier will play rm.
11.) 11 May 2023 19:59:24
Strikers who can score would be my preferred transfer focus initially. Sicknote hopefully go and chubbs is going. i'd keep Colak though.
12.) 11 May 2023 20:21:02
R1 we lost league on our defending just take a look at how many goals we conceeded 55 season compared to this season which still isn't finnished.
Beale I totally agree been saying we need a proper defensive RB for a while and to push Tav further forward on tougher games gives us more defending options in big games but still with enough flexibility to go forward.
13.) 11 May 2023 21:41:59
Rcb with Tavernier at rwb basically rm gofor.
14.) 11 May 2023 21:44:09
A wing back isn’t a right mid, is it? He would still tuck in to make a back 5 lol.
15.) 11 May 2023 21:44:40
A wing back isn’t a right mid? He would still tuck in to make a back 5 lol.
16.) 11 May 2023 23:42:53
I reckon Beale will play 3421 or 3412 if he moves to 3 cb's, rm Tavernier cm cm lm Yilmaz as a four man midfield 100% in our league Raskin, change in Europe so basically Tavernier as a right midfielder 2 cm's and Yilmaz left midfielder, racm lcam cf or 1 am and 2 cf.
17.) 12 May 2023 02:07:47
Beale prefers 433
Ideally gerrards preferred christmas tree formation, look the 2 vids on YT explaining how that works, got us a cup and an unbeaten season gerrards tiki taka was even better barcas, because we attacked constantly and rarely passed back while making a mug out of our opposition, Barcelona had similar tactics except they passed back too often, gerrards tiki taka team tactics was outstanding, the 4 goals sccored to 1 lost per game average is solid proof, all while retaining high percentage of possesion, simple rule the more possesion and attacking your team does, higher win to loss ratio, not complicated at all, but you need a team with precise passing that are fit enough to play 120 minutes at the same tempo, something few teams are capable of, yet gerrard pulled it off with a bang average team.
18.) 12 May 2023 06:12:26
Another one for the treatment table, perhaps. Previous ankle ligament damage and then mystery sickness threatening to end his career.
31 Jan 2023 14:21:53
Just read somewhere we're linked with Jack Whatmough CB from Wigan? Anybody know anything?
1.) 31 Jan 2023 15:27:22
Know we wanted him in 2019 lol.
2.) 31 Jan 2023 15:29:55
Seen there is nothing in it.
10 Jul 2022 20:33:03
Schalke 04 saying Matondo deal is done 3 million euros.
1.) 10 Jul 2022 22:05:30
Aye just seen that's him signed aswell.
2.) 10 Jul 2022 22:31:03
I have heard good things about this young man. Speed and skill. Looking forward to seeing him in action?.
3.) 10 Jul 2022 22:32:53
Yeh, just read that on Rangers News Now.
4.) 10 Jul 2022 22:39:19
Great but if buisness been a good window so far a see we are interested in Matthis Abline as well.
5.) 10 Jul 2022 22:53:22
That's a Schalke news account, unofficial. But it does look a goer, yes.
6.) 11 Jul 2022 08:22:29
Is anybody else unsure of this deal? Signed for 11 million sold for under 2? Something definitely no adding up here.
7.) 11 Jul 2022 08:32:51
Galston that's the over inflated prices for players now.
Remember Bournmouth wanted £75 million for Callum f*@in Wilson!
We need to trust our scouting.
8.) 11 Jul 2022 09:42:17
Galston genk signed hagi for 8 million and sold to us for 3 after 1 year.
9.) 11 Jul 2022 11:09:33
A line looks quality but don't see the point if it's a loan we should be developing our own players not other teams. If perm signing then fair enough.
10.) 11 Jul 2022 11:59:51
Abline appears to be a loan to buy deal.

Does anyone know if Zak Lovelace is injured after last night against Stenhousemuir in the cup? He sprinted after a ball in the last minute and pulled up sharp. Tumbled to the ground, couldn't see him from where we were sat.
1.) 16 Aug 2023 15:59:12
Grant Zak tend to be a wee bit dramatic re going down, saw him stretched off against real then starts next game
He is due to be in squad for PSV tourney.
11 May 2023 14:54:50
Thought Haji Wright was a wind up.
1.) 11 May 2023 15:46:46
How does this prove its not a wind up grant?
2.) 11 May 2023 16:03:44
Probably cause he's basically called 2 of our players. Lol.
3.) 11 May 2023 16:40:48
I didn't see much on that vid that impressed me also youtube could make sakala look like a miltimillion pound player.
4.) 11 May 2023 17:00:38
Cheers rabbi.
5.) 11 May 2023 17:12:16
Whats not to like? big, strong, fast knows where the goal is. Has a lovely first touch. I like the look of him.
Agree tho that YouTube can make anyone look like a superstar.
6.) 11 May 2023 17:17:05
I can’t see us paying the fee that is going round in the media. Only way I could see this happening is if a Colak or Sakala or someone like that went the other way. Yilmaz might end up going back to Turkey but I can’t see him going to Antalyaspor as they’re at the lower end of the table.
7.) 11 May 2023 17:45:54
Most of the stuff we're reading about signings is mostly just speculation from the media and guys on here posting things they've been told whether accurate or not . But what annoys more than anything is the negativity from certain people on here when nearly any player is mentioned.
8.) 11 May 2023 19:08:11
looks a decent player but again YT makes anyone look good, I'd take a chance on him but no for the money being said tho.
9.) 11 May 2023 19:14:42
Maybe the people on here are being negitive with certain players is because they've watched them actualy play and you odviously havent.
10.) 11 May 2023 20:09:53
There is many players mentioned and posters have never seen them play but because some of the leagues they play in they ain't good enough for our club Rangers812,this goes on all the time, can't figure out why you haven't noticed it.
11 May 2023 13:09:37
James Rodriguez whoever next ??.
17 Jan 2023 08:20:08
Just seen Sakala on the We buy any car advert. ? quality dancing Fashion ?.
1.) 17 Jan 2023 09:10:47
He is a happy wee dude man and i love him regardless of his limited ability. I will give him a great big kiss if he is ever lucky enough to bump into me.
2.) 17 Jan 2023 10:39:46
Great enthusiastic attitude who obviously loves pulling on the jersey and his vibrant pace gives defenders headaches.
He is happy to stick his foot in and tackle and chase back so hopefully that side of his game may rub off on RK.
Just needs bit of composure in box at times and with crossing but he works continuously and hopefully he can be polished into a better more composed player.
15 Jan 2023 20:10:27
Do we need another striker please, Colak injured but back soon, not sure if he fits how we play now, Morelos unfit. and Roofe, arguably our best striker. gutted for him, Sakala moments of brilliance/ headless chicken. B team lads?
1.) 15 Jan 2023 20:45:09
Will need one for next season definitely but not sure will go for one now. Might end up playing a false 9 type system with Hagi Fash and Kent as a front 3 when buff needs rested if colak and roofe aren’t fit.
2.) 15 Jan 2023 20:49:42
Need to sign Nisbet.
3.) 15 Jan 2023 22:18:38
Fed up hearing players aren’t Rangers class, I would take a chance on Nesbit, he will get more goals than people think.
4.) 16 Jan 2023 12:27:27
Correct Blue-Flloyd, Alfie is a now a hopeless shadow of a centre forward, we need to get him off the wage bill ASAP and get someone who will at least try. Nisbet's goals today were terrific, and that's exactly what a 'Rangers Class' CF should look like, very good player in my book.
31 Jan 2024 06:29:46
Saw the Shankland Roofe thin on a spoof X account earlier. say no more.
18 Nov 2021 16:41:06
Goldson goes, Katic, Helander potentially Souttar all have injury question marks in my book. Balogun the Bear is getting on a bit. Jury is out on Simpson and Bassey. Anybody know about Doekhi and fitness? I know two of these names aren't ours but CB is concerning.
26 May 2023 06:18:34
I’m sure I made out “56 next season lads, and WATP! ”.
30 Jul 2022 14:54:47
Souttar is right footed and gone from the right side of a back 3 at Hearts to left centre back. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt for now and time to adjust but that is not an infinite amount of time. Sands in his natural position fitted the system better. Davies will be a natural fit for left centre back. If Souttar ends up as back up to Goldson he'll struggle for game time. On a different note and on first impressions only Malik Tilman has some future!
02 Apr 2021 06:07:57
We're the Russian Mafia after Kanchelskis at some point for gambling debts? Rings a bell.
{Ed001's Note - that was why he joined Everton, as Fergie was fed up of paying off his gambling debts and Everton agreed to pay them. After a while they got fed up with paying his debts and got rid. So it wouldn't be a surprise if he got into debt again with you as well.}
02 Apr 2020 19:47:21
Obsessed.
