Same happened last season and bang, Malmö happened. Didn’t stop the excuses from some.

We put ourselves in this position.

A number of posters do not want change as some of their favourite players may be part of that change and may be replaced, but we have to sell some players to buy players that GVB sees as part of our future going forward.
It was the same last season.
 
How do work permits work these days? The above player would never get a work permit previously however given recently Celtics signings from Japan can we sign anyone in the world now? (A benefit of Brexit?)

That mob across the city always get what they are looking for when selling top assets.

If Rangers start rolling over for one player then what's to stop other players/agents from doing the exact same thing and the club losing millions?

Like in any negotiation if you come out looking weak you'll get trampled on.

Is Aribo worth £4m million less than Ajer on the open market with the same length of contract?

thats not how transfers work

Musa Juwara just started following Rangers, can't see him being someone we'd sign...only 20 but doesn't look good enough for first team yet.

Someone from here mentioned a striker for the B Team to me during the week.

He couldn't recall the name right enough.

Besides a B Team signing wouldn't really lower the levels of hysteria from some!

Are you saying we lost to Malmo because we didn't sign any players? Because that's simply not true.

Losing to Malmö was based on a number of factors.

- poor pre-season
- not properly prepared
- injuries
- suspensions
- standing still in the transfer market.

There were concerns after a friendly against Tranmere but that was laughed at, then we beat Real Madrid and all was forgotten.

We could potentially play Monaco then PSV in the Champions League qualifiers. People can talk about who we beat on the way to Seville but in early August that chat counts for nothing.

Last summer was poor. We cannot have another transfer window like that. Another week until we fly to Portugal so you’d hope for something come them so anyone we do sign has a good three weeks with the group.

This season we’ve got to hit it from the off both domestically and on the European stage.

Its common sense that we will have more chance if we make some really good signings.

Not going to disagree their, but Id rather we took our time if it meant getting the correct deal over the line.

There will be better opruions for us closer to the end of the window when the big clubs have finished their business

If we sign anyone in the next month Id say it will be Bosmans

We just got £12m guaranteed for a 20 year old who couldn't get near a regular start for us.

Is he a better player than Aribo or worth more ?

Your last part, criticism will get louder as the days tick by with no signings

Online, all over Rangers social media posts. It’s already happening.

I’d be very surprised if those high up aren’t already aware of it. Depending on who you speak to, the club monitor fan forums in some way or the other.

As I said, it won’t be long before journalists go to print questioning Wilson and the board over transfers or lack of, and if that happens I suspect they won’t be best pleased given we’ve seen multiple times, they really don’t like personal attacks on them

I think that's what you would like to happen, you'd like consequences if they don't do what you'd like.

If they don't sign anyone by next week this will happen and that will happen and we know they don't like this because of that. All very subjective and personal to you.

This is possibly the most batshit mental thread in FF history outside The Lounge and you're suggesting the board and football department should somehow be beholden to it? This and Twitter? Twitter which sometimes makes this forum seem normal?

That's quite a take.

Sakala started on the bench on in both qualifiers.

Forget Malmö, look how we played against Alashkert over two legs. European qualifiers at this stage in a season are brutal.

Just so happens we have a team that needs freshened up and an injection of quality.

Be interesting to see who starts at Livingston and then in the CL first leg.

The first 4 reasons you've listed were exactly my point, I'd add Gerrard's mind was already elsewhere and this was noticed by the players. The lack of transfer activity played almost no part in losing to Malmo, seeing as the same group of players just managed to get to the EL final.

I’d say most fans will be expecting incomings this coming week given we’re back in training

Certainly amongst mates group chats etc, and RSC bus chats, there’s impatience growing at our lack of signings and it’ll only grow more.

Sure there’s a few posters on here claiming to be relaxed about matters. Equally there’s some going a bit OTT with panicking.

I’d say I’m old enough to know that if we don’t see some incomings in the next week or so, the noise and impatience will be notched up in the media.

I’d say you brushing it off is simply being in denial tbh

I'm very relaxed about it. It's hardly Stop Press, Rangers Will Sign a Player; it's clear we will make good signings.

With all due respect, what is clear that we will make good signings?

What’s that based on other than wishful thinking?

Granted no signing is a guaranteed success but using recent windows as the only comparable evidence, I’d say it’s anything but clear that we’ll make good signings
 
Calcio said:
Folk getting annoyed because some posters are starting to get quite worried at the lack of transfer activity despite the fact the manager wanted business done early, and we have a CL qualifier in just over a month. You can't sign a player a week before the qualifier and expect him to have an impact. Its not football manager.

Its the dreading thought of dejavu happening again this summer and the mentally challengeds further strengthening their lead over us financially and on the pitch.

'Cabbage', 'roaster' etc if you're not pretending you don't care about it though.

Window is still open next week, and the week after, and the week after that.

With the right mindset and tactics a new player should be irrelevant to our progression
 
We sold Itten then apparently bid for Kolac.
Rumours that Aribo interesting some clubs but will be after July 1st due to release clause.
My interpretation is that we won't/can't buy till we sell.
Re Celtic buying players, they have guaranteed income which we do not.
Champions league group $17.74 (2022 )
Europa league group $4.11 (2022 ). Looking at finances, it looks to me that getting to the final of the Europa will have earned us less than what Celtic will get (I've ignored bonus money for wins/draws in group stage)
TV money is also significantly bigger.
I'm confident we'll buy players soon.
 
I think we'll see some movement both in and out next week. I'm impatient as hell, but some of the reactions I've seen on here and on twitter are way overblown. Hoping for a Roofe and Itten esque 'double swoop' to ease everyone's concerns a bit.

Then we can start arguing over the quality and merits of the players :))

Which we earned for them, a severe kick in the stones.

I'm realistic, based on the past; you are slightly pessimistic, because of the past three windows, but I'm the opposite. I'm always optimistic about Rangers, or at least mostly optimistic. We finished this season the best team in this League; you probably disagree with that, fair enough, but in my mind we have the nucleus of a very good side, a top side, and it will be added to.

Nobody needs to wait until 1 July for Aribo clause - if there is one - to kick in. Contracts in England run to 30 June but contracts in Scotland run to 31 May. Just a quirk of the game. Aribo contract runs out 31 May 23, so he’s already into his last year. IF there is a clause.

At the very least we're guaranteed the Europa group stages so you'd expect we've budgeted for that and if we make the Champions League the budget should go up.

I watch most of Bologna games. He started so well and scored against Inter in his first couple of games. But has fell off the radar since then with a few failed loan moves.
Cant see anything being in this unless its for the development team as he still has a lot of potential
 
Manhattan_Loyalist said:
All of that still goes right out the window if there's more than 1 club willing to pay the so-called 10-million release clause.

Minute more than club agrees to pay that - there is no bidding for us to sit back and enjoy - we have all that we're ever going to get.

The player and his agent have the luxury of then saying who's giving them the best deal - not us.
Click to expand...

Well yes... OBVIOUSLY there is no bidding war if there is a set release clause. Certainly not a war that would go above that price. None of us are idiots I should hope.

The nature of a release clause is that the club waives their right or reject offers over that amount. Even in this case however, increased number of clubs interest still helps the selling club.


If both seller and buyer are aware of the release clause and lack of other interest, the buyer may chance their arm. E.g. this hypothetical release class of £10m. One could imagine that a buyer, knowing the seller has no option but to accept at £10m, offers £9m plus the 'unknown' of a potential sell on clause or else performance related add one which may or may not come off and are geared to ensure benefit to the buyer, not the seller. One prospective buyer, and the selling club maybe more inclined to take the risk. More potential buyers means a greater chance of getting your 'maximum' cash up front, even if that maximum has still got a ceiling imposed by the contract both parties signed.

Never understood folk saying this.

Why? Because folk are demanding signings? In what world does that mean they’re Celtic fans. It doesn’t stack up and one of those cretinous comments folk come out with when they don’t like folks opinions.

The comment a few posts ago about waiting to see at the end of the window once all the big clubs have done their business sounds 100x more a Celtic fan trolling than guys saying Gio, Wilson, the board etc to pull their finger/s out - and the guy that said it isn’t a Celtic fan either btw

Certainly not accusing you or any other Bears. Just feel dark forces are at work in this thread to try and destabilise the Club.

I'm not brushing it off neither denying it will happen. It's 2022 and all day, every day people shout and bawl, whinge and moan about things online.

You're making out that next week is building up to some day of reckoning when the board will need to then answer for their crimes.

It won't happen.

We'll leave it there anyway, it's all a bit personal to you rather than what's best for Rangers.

What?

Unless my eyes deceive me, they signed the centre half, a goalkeeper and an Argentinian they’re signing was pictured in Glasgow?
Click to expand...
A keeper for the bench to replace Barkas, Carter vickers was already here and some LB which hasn't been concluded yet.
We have signed Souttar .
They are hardly streets ahead with quality signings.
Ffs, folk really need to calm down.
