Rangers Debates 2

09 Jan 2026 14:47:02
🚨 EXCL: Rangers have made enquiries to Sunderland for two of their promotion winning players.
🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 The Scottish giants have registered their interest in midfielder Dan Neil and winger Romaine Mundle.
🏆 Neil captained his hometown club to play-off success at Wembley in May but has only featured three times in the Premier League this season.
🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Winger Mundle has made eight substitute appearances from the bench and is keen for more regular football.
👍🏽 Sunderland appear open to allowing both to leave on-loan this month.
#SAFC manager Regis Le Bris said today:
🗣️ "If a player won't play too much in the second part of the season there is the possibility for him to find another club to get minutes. "
🤔 Mundle and Neil both have interest from other clubs this January.

Neil is out of contact in June mate, love this being true.

09 Jan 2026 17:40:33
We can't have both on loan, we already have 5 and are allowed 6.

09 Jan 2026 19:28:37
JFM which is why the OOC for Neil makes sense and hope that Sunderland let him leave; possibly for his service to them. don't know the player but seems like a good deal for us.

09 Jan 2026 19:33:52
Didn't know one was ooc Angus, just the post said Sunderland appear open to let both leave on loan. Thanks for the info.

09 Jan 2026 19:34:20
Thought we only had 4 on loan.

09 Jan 2026 19:49:49
Angus, would us returning our in loans players allow us to get more loans in?

09 Jan 2026 20:38:30
5 storm, Djiga, Aarons, megohma, Cornelius and Moore.

09 Jan 2026 22:33:41
jfm I don't know that they aren't both on loan but it would seem odd for Sunderland to let Dan Neil go on loan for last 6 months of his contract. only benefit is to save wages. they would be better if he isn't getting game time to sell him to a club at a small price and make some money. Or we could sing him on pre-contract. Neil might not want that and see a loan at us, or another club, as a way of getting game time and putting himself in shop window,
Fraser we can get 1 more loan in to reach the 6 we are allowed.

If we send any of the 5 loans back we can replace that loan as allowed 6 at any one time. However I thought someone said Rohl wasn't planning on cancelling any loans. Doing that would cost us cash anyway.

10 Jan 2026 16:43:24
Gus, cheers for reply pal.

09 Jan 2026 14:14:05
Anyone feel that starting Miovski on sunday whilst playing Chermiti a tad deeper in a #10 role. think Miovski would love to score in the sheep pen. just a thought. we will mis Sterling and Barron but hopefully have the players to fill in and do the job.3 points a must to keep the pressure on the jams and tims.

09 Jan 2026 19:34:31
Naw mate.

10 Jan 2026 18:44:25
if we don't win because of depth of squad or failure to bring players in sooner cavenaugh will take the brunt of it.

09 Jan 2026 12:34:17
I assume with the soon to be arrival of the strum Graz midfielders that would suggest that, Jens Hjertø-Dahl is a no go him and Silas Andersen seem to be about the same price range with the latter looking to be slightly more £.

09 Jan 2026 12:52:03
Burt it seems that deal is gone mate.

09 Jan 2026 12:58:05
Still think another cm will be signed in this window.

09 Jan 2026 13:22:34
Unless Barrons injury forces a rethink. Rohl hinted at possibly looking for more in midfield because of it.

09 Jan 2026 15:12:27
Rangers are interested in Dan Neil for Sunderland, I mentioned him weeks ago, best cm in Sunderland promotion team, think this could be a struggle though, he's linked with many clubs, Roma seemingly made if an offer, out of contact in June, would love this being an ooc player.

09 Jan 2026 16:12:06
Dauly Record saying we are interested in CDM Dan Neil from Sunderland.

Also Mundle who is their winger.

10 Jan 2026 18:45:55
so did no other sunderland mids keep their place for promotion?

09 Jan 2026 10:51:24
Would be inclined to hold onto Lyall Cameron whilst Connor Barron is out injured if Lyall's circumstances allow it.

10 Jan 2026 18:46:27
think you'll find its his contract that allows it.

08 Jan 2026 23:19:22
Keep Cameron, bring in Watson now with the new centre mid signing, midfield is the heart of the team and need numbers and energy from their.

08 Jan 2026 22:15:09
Get rid of.

Curtis loan
Cameron loan
Rothwell - out
Danilo - out ( keep his da though )
Dowell - out
Matondo - out
Cortes - away on loan

Thats 6 that need cleared and 1 as good as away. This would free up wages and allow us to just go out and make a statement of intent and get Silas Anderson.

Especially when FFP is of no issue now.

09 Jan 2026 07:53:43
Try get Matondo out as well.

09 Jan 2026 08:09:37
let us know when you have found clubs to buy all those. we have been trying with at least 2-3 for last couple of windows at least. the thing is it is easy to wrote it and much more difficult to do. at best loans and we still have to play some of their wages.

09 Jan 2026 11:07:51
Angus technically we don't need clubs to buy them, we could offer to pay them off at a lesser sum of the rest of their contract. We save money on wages, they become a free agent and can demand a signing on fee and with their new wage they probably come out quids in by the end of the season.

09 Jan 2026 12:16:34
so davie that assumes they would accept a lesser amount when they haven't up till now. we then only save the amount of wages between what we would have paid and the pay off.

let us use Danilo as an example valued at £2M so we write that off. also 2 years and 4 months left of his contract. at the reported £39k per week that is over £4m in salary. Matondo at £600k, Dowell £400k, Cortes £720k, and then part of Curtis and Cameron in salary.

as I say we would still need to pay some of their wages whether loaned or let go so the financial benefits to the club aren't as high and that is assuming the players all want to go.

so really easy to say get rid but up till now no one has wanted them. if it were me I would want the money I was due and suspect they will be the same.

09 Jan 2026 13:18:40
Danilos dad needs tied down on a long term contract 😂.

09 Jan 2026 15:29:37
Angus I was more inclined thinking of the players running out of contract soon but still with longer term contracts it's the same, you state Danilo on 39k per week. Tell him he's not gona play and be best intrest for him to leave, we pay him 25k a week untill his contract up, he goes to another club gets a signing on bonus as a free agent ets say earns 20k per week and he's playing.

Players are quids in.

10 Jan 2026 18:47:43
ffp is still an issue but just not for domestic football.

08 Jan 2026 21:29:24
Just watched the clips of tochi to be honest there is nothing in those clips that show a number 6. Also Aphelion is correct in saying a AML / number 10 going by those clips. A don't know enough about him i am going to ask a few friends within the game to see what they know of him.

08 Jan 2026 21:16:37
If Barron and Sterling are out until March foes or should it change our plans for the window? Do we need to replace 1 or both?

08 Jan 2026 21:38:53
IMO, we need a RB in this window.

08 Jan 2026 22:14:55
I think we will sign another MF but do we really need 3 RBs. I know fans down rate Tav or Aarons but Rohl seems to be happy to keep them. why would he keep them and then sign another RB.

the only reason I can think is to get our 1st choice for next season and give him that time to settle and get used to the demands.

08 Jan 2026 22:57:18
That's it Angus a rb signed for next season.

09 Jan 2026 08:10:53
Star I still don't think he will have prioritised there.

09 Jan 2026 12:21:13
Angus just watched Rohl interview, he's saying hopefully Sterling is a few weeks, he was always going pick up a injury after just returning, at least it's nothing major.

09 Jan 2026 14:41:21
Rohl does not say few weeks

He said misses Sunday, cup tie next Friday, then probably ludogrets, then back, that's about 18 days.

10 Jan 2026 00:33:38
2/3 weeks John.

10 Jan 2026 18:49:11
and what happened the last time our medical team said a few weeks lol.

08 Jan 2026 15:09:41
Connor Barron supposedly injured 8-12 weeks?

08 Jan 2026 16:57:52
If true then Shinnie is the culprit, the only thing he done all game caught Barron with a sneaky one.

08 Jan 2026 17:25:07
Not good!

08 Jan 2026 17:51:02
This is why we need a good couple of reinforcements in.

08 Jan 2026 18:06:56
Sterling injured as well 😔.

08 Jan 2026 20:03:15
shame for both especially when they had both started playing well. Part of me though thinks it isn't a bad thing for Dujon if the stories are true. possibly better for the club s well in terms of decision making.

08 Jan 2026 22:08:23
Don't think it is Angus, the club had already decided to play him and it leaves us short of cover. Now we've got Tav and Aarons and that cannot be a good thing.
Have to say i'm more disappointed with Connor Barron being out.

09 Jan 2026 08:14:16
JFM not saying that is the reason he will be out but possibly good to take the heat off everyone. also we have 2 right backs and I don't think the club just decides to buy players based on fans opinions.

we have positions which the club know we are short in (LB) and they would be prioritised. don't see need for a new RB with 2 there already whether we like them or not.
