Official The Summer 2023 Rangers Transfer Window Rumours and Deals - Thread

[prenzlauerbear]

Doubt it will be the Swansea lad, but the thought of us spending good money on a number 9 is exciting.

Nothing better than a striker who comes in and does the business, galvanising the support. Jelavic was the last one.

We might even have one FF troubadour pen the new man his own Coldplay-inspired ballad.

 

[Anony Mouse]

When do players have to be registered to play in Europe, Is there a last date/cut-off.

 

[GingerbreadGirl]

We need to see videos of linked players misses.

Imagine you only saw footage of Sakala's goals. You'd think he was sensational

Rolled my eyes at this and thought here we go again with the guys on this forum talking about players girlfriends etc then realised what you meant haha

 

[RLoyal]

Just a question … but what players in the English championship have hit 20+ goals and we’re available for a small fee?

You score goals in that league and teams will pay silly fee’s historically - see our own martyn waghorn - scored 16 with Ipswich and went to derby for £6m

20 or close to it the past few years

Carlton Morris
Tom Bradshaw
Weimann
Karlan Grant
Emil Riis
Lewis Grabban
Nahki Wells
Billy Sharp

But like you say it wouldn't actually surprise me if these guys actually would cost you silly money

Agree with this always felt you learn a lot about a players upper ceiling by seeing his errors too .

 

[strider]

As posted much earlier in this thread, I think Joel Piroe would be absolutely outstanding for us.

But his fee will likely make it impossible sadly.

 

[JGers]

Have we been linked with any wingers? Not saw many links to what would seem like a Kent replacement

 

[LenzieLoyal]

A Jelavic-type signing could be the difference between us winning the league or having to play second fiddle to them yet again.

Players like Douvikas or Piroe won't come cheap, but they look as though they have what it takes to fire us to the title we all crave.

Been wondering myself about this. Palma isn’t exactly a fast winger type.We have a dire need for speed and I haven’t seen any talk of one flying winger yet, unusual.

[HandsomeHead]

Jelavic was a game changer of a signing. He was worth the chase, and every penny of his fee.

Walter Smith knew he would make all the difference for us in goals and assists and so it proved.

We desperately need a similar level of quality with the incoming number 9 next season. Not so much "can we afford him", imo It's very much a case of can we afford not to!

Jelavic cost £4m back in 2010, which in truth wasn’t a hell of a lot more then than it is now.

I do feel if we’re looking to spend a fee on a striker it probably needs to be in the £5-6m bracket, at least.

It’s all very well targeting Bosmans and players in the final year of their deals, but if that’s our sole criteria then we’re obviously reducing the options available to us.

There are definitely real bargains out there if we just know where to look.

 

[Mr Wilton]

If we spend £8m on a striker if this is what some think Piroe can be got for then I will be delighted, mainly on the basis that we’re not fucking about! I’ll trust Beale’s judgment on the players he brings in, as I can’t say I’ve heard of Piroe, but I assume he’s got 30 goals plus at that price.

I think this illustrates why we’ll be looking beyond England for a striker.

 

[Coplandbear]

One of Piroes biggest strengths is holding the ball and bringing others into play seems an all round striker who knows where the goal is.

Definitely the type of striker we will target this summer.

 

[Mr Wilton]

Maybe throw in Matondo for Piroe too, he’s welsh and all.

I really like the look him of him, but I’d be surprised if some EPL clubs don’t feel similarly.

 

[Theresa May]

2 of Alfie's best goals were with his left foot.

Possibly his best 2 goals.

Porto and?

 

[Kaisa1]

Did Beale not say we’re already a good bit down the line on signing a striker? As mentioned above, non negotiable having a new number 9 in for the qualifiers

 

[Theresa May]

Have we been linked with any wingers? Not saw many links to what would seem like a Kent replacement

Luis Palma?

 

[DrMantisTobogganMD]

Porto and?

hearts away?

 

[JGers]

Luis Palma?

Aw yeah, forgot about that one!

 

[ChildOfGoth]

I think this illustrates why we’ll be looking beyond England for a striker.

I’d just believed that there was depth to the Josh Maja link as he is OoC and has the skillset we supposedly need he is strong and quite quick and can build play .

Maybe paired with a powerful / genuinely fast striker such as Ellis Simms eg

 

[Eddie Doc]

Porto and?

Aberdeen. Just curled it inside the post.

 

[SuperGers07]

I’d hope to hell it’s someone like Kouame for the all round striker role.

Must be something in these Beale Italian jaunts so hopefully things become clear soon.

 

[Andrew webb]

Everton. Boy would be off his head to go there!

Shamethat Hamer is above our price range now.

Hamer in his last year of contract?

 

[stephen ferris]

I’d hope to hell it’s someone like Kouame for the all round striker role.

Exactly my thinking.

 

[ChildOfGoth]

Been wondering myself about this. Palma isn’t exactly a fast winger type.We have a dire need for speed and I haven’t seen any talk of one flying winger yet, unusual.

Alongside the two wide guys we are linked with We should remember we have matondo Sakala and Lawrence too .

If they leave then of course you can try and replace with similar skills

 

[Blue Max]

Been wondering myself about this. Palma isn’t exactly a fast winger type.We have a dire need for speed and I haven’t seen any talk of one flying winger yet, unusual.

We've been linked with Parfait Guiagon of Maccabi Tel Aviv. Plays as a left winger or attacking midfielder. He looks quite quick going by YouTube clips, but more importantly, he's a ball carrier with great dribbling skills.

A player with that skill set could be good for breaking down teams that love to play the low block against us, when speed isn't really that much use.

 

[Andrew webb]

Well Goldson isn't going to be fit so he can play RCB and we can play a new LCB.

Regardless of Souttars form, we require 2 CBs this summer.

Especially if Davies leaves and Helander gone
Goldson fitness

 

[W_72]

To be fair we currently have two players on the books you could class as flying wingers ?

What’s 8m to the club the majority of the ST takings ? And that’s only the xfer fee not the total cost .

Imo it’s better to not pay such fees but of course if it were a player who we really believed was a almost unique option then ok

 

[Andrew webb]

I wouldn’t rule out Kelly!

No thanks

 

[ChildOfGoth]

Exactly my thinking.

Stephen. What type of fee would that be to get Kouame ? I’m not sure Serie A strikers come to Scotland either especially when we don’t have CLG entry. Yet .

What happened with his loan to Anderlecht did they have an option to buy him and decline it ?

Just rewatching his vid clips and it’s quite interesting with this player what you feel you are seeing is a Fashion Sakala without the disconnects and basic errors so basically a higher grade FS . Also feels like he could have that disruption factor that we have been getting via Kent .

Would like to see him in a proper game or two . Maybe we will get that chance lol .

We are by no means a great team but with a couple of solid defensive additions at the back, I feel we are only shy of someone to shoot us to the title next season. The investment has to be worth the bulk of our budget if it means getting genuine quality in the door.

 

[Andrew webb]

There’s zero chance of us signing Piroe.

Would kristovic or Undav be cheeper ?
Apologies for bringing up these names again

 

[Theresa May]

Would kristovic or Undav be cheeper ?

Undav would be even less likely than Piroe. He is doing it at a level above Piroe.

Kristovic is more in the bracket we'll be looking at. We realistically need to get these guys before they come to England.

 

[Blue Max]

Where’s this link from mate?

It was reported in Israeli media first I think. Another poster linked it in the transfer thread.

 

[Andrew webb]

Feck buying a used car off you

Just don't want to sell our players short
The other lot put crazy fees on their players
Ok 10 million was a bit over
9 and half million lol for Sakala

 

[JGers]

Been wondering myself about this. Palma isn’t exactly a fast winger type.We have a dire need for speed and I haven’t seen any talk of one flying winger yet, unusual.

I was thinking the same, I do think there’s more to come from Matondo, given the chance however I would like another quality, skilful ball carrier who loves nothing more than running at a defence

 

[Valley Bluenose]

Who was the last left footed striker we had? Off the top of my head I can't remember.

Colak and Morelos attempting a pass or shot with their left foot looked like the most unnatural thing in the world to them.

Porto aren't happy that he chose them to prove this incorrect.

I have that vibe too re Matondo I must say I feel since his re-introduction he has looked tighter in the team and I do like that every game he makes sure he tries a few shots from distance . It keeps us believing we are going to get another goal imo .

 

[ChildOfGoth]

Kevin Nisbet is joining IMO

I would believe that one .

 

[giogaddi]

Hamer in his last year of contract?

Oh I didn't know that. Would imagine he'd still cost a fair whack and will likely have EPL suitors?

 

[KinkyAfro]

Not that I’m totally for it but are we interested in McBurnie on a free? Any inside knowledge

I’d be surprised if we’re not if wages are not too high.

Piroe would be top drawer. He’s a very good player.
Hopefully we can get him but we need at least two as I reckon Ćolak will move on.

Reckon he would be 5-6 million. But wouldn’t be surprised to see us spend that with the importance of bringing goals to the team.He fits the hybrid style Beale likes, is also athletic and fast and can interchange all around the front 3. I know at one point he was leading the assists in the conference league.

McBurnie is contracted for another season, Sheffield United had the option to extend his contract

Free transfer would be a no brainer for me as 1 of 1/2 coming in. Sheff Utd getting promoted might stop it though

Just saw Theo Walcott leaving Southampton, he’d probably do a good job on the right. Seems he was fit most of last season

 

[Paisley-1872]

Whats folks views on Theo Walcott..
