The Summer 2022 Rangers Transfer Window Rumours and Deals - Thread

[Laudrup11ch]

But he had a decent game against Blackpool.

I thought he did too mate.

 

[Dr. Strangelove]

8 months or not he proved his worth.

Are you trolling that much you replied to yourself?

 

[Barrymoped]

Difference is Calvin proved his worth , Sands has shown nothing as yet.

This time last year he hadn’t, Bassey’s rise happened last season, at the start he wasn’t even a first 11 pick.

We do have the habit of writing players off very quickly.

 

[Derek76]

Sands has not shown nothing. The manager clearly likes what he sees

 

[tazzabear]

I don't for one second believe he is a target for us mate.

Any particular point making you think this?

 

[BlueSevenTwo]

But he hadn't really up until the last 8 months

8 months or not he proved his worth.

 

[Boab4]

Think Ofoborh might go as well

Why would he?

 

[The Pontiac Bandit]

A lot of Mystic Megs on here recently

"This time next year Souttar will be SPL Player of the Year"

And if you say 'ffs' at the end it makes it look like common sense

Oh

And Colak will get at least 20 goals next season ffs

Football fans in talking up their teams players shocker.

 

[Alfie shhh!]

This time last year he hadn’t, Bassey’s rise happened last season, at the start he wasn’t even a first 11 pick.

We do have the habit of writing players off very quickly.

Bassey was literally punting bucket hats for our shop 2 years ago and not getting any game time. Then last season he wasn't a starter like you say, so much can change very quickly.

This place was downright nasty about Lundstram not long ago. Now he's the best on Earth.

 

[BlueSevenTwo]

Are you trolling that much you replied to yourself?

Replied in wrong place , now fixed.

And since when did having an opinion equal trolling?

 

[Orangeandblue]

This thread was bonkers when our budget was 'limited' Now we have some cash its going to go full-on f*cking crazy.

Spend, Spend, Spend...

8 months or not he proved his worth.

And 8 months from now Sands may have done the same.

 

[Carlukebear12345]

8 months or not he proved his worth.

So since bassey has been here two years why don't you give sands the same amount of time instead of writing him off since he hasn't set the world alight .

Anyone who does not perform from day one should we get rid?

New country, new style of play ect and it takes time to get to grips with

Who will my profile picture be now

 

[TheEgg]

Why?

youre not even hiding it anymore mate....whens the announcement?

 

[BlueSevenTwo]

I haven’t written him off I just asked what makes him worth £4m at this point.

 

[Madjid Moments]

Why would he?

Well if medical guidance tells him he’s not going to play football then the question has to be asked.

Also he was a Gerrard signing, Gio is building his own squad now.

 

[TheEgg]

Who will my profile picture be now

I'll send you a picture of me mate

 

[Coke]

Sands has not shown nothing. The manager clearly likes what he sees

Could Wilson sell Sands to the Arabs ?

 

[BlueSevenTwo]

And 8 months from now Sands may have done the same.

In which case he will be worth £4m but he isn’t on what he’s shown to date.

 

[Valley Bluenose]

Spend, Spend, Spend...

Viv Nicholson Loyal

Giving your age away there mate. I remember her well.

 

[BlueSevenTwo]

nothing wrong?

hes here for a 2 year loan, so lets judge him at the end of it

better and worse players have taken time to settle and cement a place in the starting XI

18 month loan of which six are up.

 

[Swtrueblue]

Based on?

He’s looked assured when he’s come on and he can play in multiple positions. Clearly highly thought of by Gio given the games he’s featured in.

A seasons a long time to improve given game time, just ask Calvin Bassey

 

[Carlukebear12345]

I haven’t written him off I just asked what makes him worth £4m at this point.

At this point maybe he is not but that's the point of an 18 month deal to seen if its something we want to take forward

 

[Swtrueblue]

Maybe.....if we play him all season.
I think he's a decent player but his issue is gonna be his game time / his chance.to impress.

That’s the big thing for me, he needs to play.

 

[Laudrup11Cooper]

But he had a decent game against Blackpool.

And before that?

 

[TPP]

I think if we see if sands can transform into a player this year, but I really can’t see it being at CH unless against spfl jobbers. It will be hard to give him a run in that position.

 

[BlueSevenTwo]

So since bassey has been here two years why don't you give sands the same amount of time instead of writing him off since he hasn't set the world alight .

Anyone who does not perform from day one should we get rid?

New country, new style of play ect and it takes time to get to grips with

He had 18 months which is now 12 if he makes the same impact as Bassey this season then all well and good , right now I don’t even see him as a regular starter.

 

[RAFBob]

This thread was bonkers when our budget was 'limited' Now we have some cash its going to go full-on f*cking crazy.

I won't lie mate, I would love to see us bring in a capable LB to backup Barisic and a Left sided CB - then I would be happy - I definitely don't think we need five more!

 

[Empire]

youre not even hiding it anymore mate....whens the announcement?

No idea to be honest. I’m just interested as to why people are so adamant Rangers aren’t in for Davies. Whether we are or not remains to be seen.

 

[Awritenobad]

When Davies was close to signing for them I remember the consensus on here seemed to be that they were getting a cracking player, now he’s pish when we’re linked with him?

He’d be a very good signing imo.

Likes to carry the ball out and a good passer, he’d be an excellent partner for Goldson.

 

[BlueSevenTwo]

And before that?

Nothing of note for me.

 

[BlueSevenTwo]

Sands has not shown nothing. The manager clearly likes what he sees

So much so he’s been a regular starter since he joined us.

 

[TheEgg]

18 month loan of which six are up.

point still stands

folk were ready to bin Lundstram and run him back to Liverpool in December

hes now our best midfielder by a country mile

 

[ecossebear]

Football fans in talking up their teams players shocker.

It would be nice to see some of the posters on here being made to eat their words. When Sands or Souttar are standout key players for us all season! Or if Helander gets fit for a long period of time. It’s like some “fans” would rather they were right that someone was a flop than to admit they were wrong and have the player flourish.

 

[Gremlins]

155 appearances in the last 3 seasons. Very unreliable.

Not in terms of availability- more in terms of being a bit soft, and a bit if a confidence player.

 

[HamiltonBear]

How do you know that as a fact? If you don't mind me asking btw.

This hardly answers your question mate as it was years ago and can’t remember where I read it but I read something about it. The deal can be ‘technically’ done player registered for new club etc but just not announced on social media yet. Maybe someone can correct me if I’m wrong?

Not sure about any of that but I would imagine Ajax would agree to put off any announcement if 1. We asked them to
2. We explained the circumstance.

 

[BlueSevenTwo]

Maybe.....if we play him all season.
I think he's a decent player but his issue is gonna be his game time / his chance.to impress.

Exactly the point I was trying to make but it’s been jumped all over.

 

[Orangeandblue]

Giving your age away there mate. I remember her well.

No shame being an old codger

 

[Valley Bluenose]

I won't lie mate, I would love to see us bring in a capable LB to backup Barisic and a Left sided CB - then I would be happy - I definitely don't think we need five more!

Missed the boat with Doig.

Runs for cover ha ha.

 

[HandsomeHead]

In which case he will be worth £4m but he isn’t on what he’s shown to date.

But it’s possible he might, no?

 

[Carlukebear12345]

Your have your view I have mine but since bassey wasn't a regular starter 12 months ago you never know but we will wait and see.

All I'm saying is fans should get of his back and support any player who pulls on the shirt

 

[TheEgg]

No idea to be honest. I’m just interested as to why people are so adamant Rangers aren’t in for Davies. Whether we are or not remains to be seen.

I get you mate, my lips are sealed

 

[ForzaLaudrup]

Our three Nigerian internationals have left. Coincidence, or is the travelling and the time away a problem?

More a case of two of them were our two best players and one was deemed surplus to requirements

I think you’re looking for a reason that doesn’t exist there tbh mate

 

[BlueSevenTwo]

But it’s possible he might, no?

Of course it is but my initial point which seems to have been lost is , right now he’s doesn’t justify the £4m fee.

 

[RAFBob]

Missed the boat with Doig.

Runs for cover ha ha.

A lot of folk will say that's nonsense due to his dip last season, but you watch him develop now he's moved from Hibs, Verona will be laughing that he only cost £3m.

 

[tazzabear]

I hope we have players sounded out ready to sign for us. Champions league qualifiers in just over 2 weeks time and league kicks off in 13 days time . We definitely need a left back ,left centre back and a striker . I see a lot of people saying we need a goal scoring midfielder, I'm very much hoping that tillman and Lawrence will help out there massively.

We aren’t desperate for a left back, yet.
Before the window closes, yes, probably, and the sooner the better.
Striker, yes.
Goal scoring midfielder, like you, I’m hoping we’ve got that one covered already.
This left sided left back though, has me in a quandary.
I’m guessing this means left footed?
It be good, a plus, but it wouldn’t be top of my criteria.

 

[20rangersultras07]

I’d have took a punt on Doig but not at 3m, think at that price we could get someone better.

Leidner was linked a while ago but looks like he’s away to either Torino or balogna which is a shame because he’d be a really good signing

 

[Laudrup11Cooper]

point still stands

folk were ready to bin Lundstram and run him back to Liverpool in December

hes now our best midfielder by a country mile

No chance.
Not for me.

But that's another debate.

 

[BrooklynBlue]

No offence.
Is he really keeping any of the others out the midfield, if they are fit?
Not for me.

Strange signing.

It’s hardly a strange signing.

A well-thought of young American, regular participant in his team’s Championship-winning league season and had just started to feature in his national squad - indeed, playing in the Gold Cup-winning team, including the Final.

And all for an 18-month loan. What’s strange about that?
