The Winter 2020/21 Transfer Window Rumours and Deals - Thread

[Grigo Yossarian]

Ye mate seems legit point the prob is you can’t pick up all the players in the nation though and also our current regime begun fairly recently so SW as an example would have been too early .

doig does look good yeah but we have a fine LB too in the squad plus James maxwell who has come on a ton and is on-loan at QoS

I do like Maxwell D, just not seen him in a while & how he’s developing.

I do like Maxwell D, just not seen him in a while & how he’s developing.

He’s coming along nicely, fans favourite at Palmerston & anytime I’ve seen it he’s been assured.

Played well against QP & handled Quitongo brilliantly, he’s actually a better defender than I expected.

If he bulks up a bit we could be onto a winner.

That’s great EB, thanks mate. I like James’s spirit.

You don’t have to sign CL quality players to get into the CL, midtjylland, Olympiacos & ferencvaros we are all better than.

The ambition of Rangers is signing guys like hagi Morelos and turning them into CL quality players and selling them on for ££

Olympiacos are pretty good mate but definitely better than those other two. I fancy us to qualify for the group stages next year.

 

[Main Stand]

Olympiacos are pretty good mate but definitely better than those other two. I fancy us to qualify for the group stages next year.

I fancy us to get out the groups to be honest, we are better than a few of the teams there & level (at least) to another good few.

 

[Forza_Napoli]

He’s actually quite good though.

Shame they’ve strengthened ahead of playing us.

He's not played for 6 months so I dont think he'll be match fit

 

[supersonic]

Dembele off to Atletico. Usually we see articles of "Celtic massive windfall after sell on fee". As it stands they are set to make 3.3€m off this, not such the great Celtic success story eh.

 

[Forza_Napoli]

Clubs are off their nut if they pay £25m for edouard, they should wait a few months and watch the price start to fall. They scumbags will no doubt end up getting a fair wack, does my nut in. They will be sweating, i would love it if he left on a free but he wants out now so will no doubt make them a good wedge.

To get anything decent he has to go this month and theres no way they'll sell him this month as there fans will probably storm the stadium despite it being meaningless in the context of the leage if he goes now

Olimpiakos were rank rotten in the ucl this season I'd fancy us to take them over 2 legs

Report: Celtic and Rangers interested in Liverpool forward Taiwo Awoniyi

Celtic and Rangers are reportedly interested in trying to sign Liverpool forward Taiwo Awoniyi, who is out on loan this season in the Bundesliga.

tbrfootball.com

There will be heehaw in this but Taiwo Awoniyi who's parent club is Liverpool is of interest to us

 

[derek145]

Dembele off to Atletico. Usually we see articles of "Celtic massive windfall after sell on fee". As it stands they are set to make 3.3€m off this, not such the great Celtic success story eh.

Hes on loan initially from what I read which means they'll get nothing till the summer

Not even, more like 1 million. 10% of profit.

 

[Russell]

His Cross against us was a cracker too A1bertz, so he seems to have a really good balance of talent & tenacity. And pace in fact.

Yeah I was shocked to find out this boy is only 18 yrs old. He would be a cracking replacement for Borna in a couple seasons. We should be keeping good tabs on him.

I do think big Bassey will develop more as CH than an attacking full back.

 

[supersonic]

Really would it not be the final fee? Great if so

 

[supersonic]

I think they would still get the final sell on fee, it doesnt matter if theres a loan before on. Sell on %. The only way to %^*& a club over is to front load the loan fee and the final buy price is lower

I agree Russell. Completely.

 

[schnauzer]

Usually these sell on clauses are based on profit from sale

Loan deal the now?

 

[Grigo Yossarian]

Loan deal the now?

I heard 6 months loan deal, with 33m e option to buy.

 

[Raumdeuter]

I didn't realise that he's only 18.

Should 100% sign him in that case

 

[Walters80]

They will be sweating, i would love it if he left on a free but he wants out now so will no doubt make them a good wedge.

Falling income from Covid, a mediocre scoring record in Scotland and Europe plus his contract winding down means they won't get anything near £25m for him.

It will be the usual undisclosed fee nonsense when he goes, they will struggle to make much if any profit on him given the £9m fee and big sell on clause PSG allegedly have.

 

[derek145]

I think they would still get the final sell on fee, it doesnt matter if theres a loan before on. Sell on %. The only way to %^*& a club over is to front load the loan fee and the final buy price is lower

Yeah I know, it's a small point but they won't be able to use the funds towards any signings this January

 

[CanuckBear]

Loan deal the now?

If the loan option is taken up and they do purchase him, their profit would only be 10% of the profit-not this total fee. So it would be about 1.3m instead of 3.3m.

 

[Russell]

I didn't realise that he's only 18.

Should 100% sign him in that case

Yeah & he’s physically well put together. I think him playing week in week out @ Hibs for next 18 months would be superb for his development & ideally we then we sign him @ 20/21.

Not convinced Doig is any better than our own James Maxwell.

Maxwell is miles away from regular top flight football

 

[inverbear112]

Am I the only one who doesn’t give a flying f*** about Celtic transfer buisness and would rather talk about our own?

 

[ssblue]

Maxwell is miles away from regular top flight football

Clearly rated higher at national level.

 

[Coisty87]

Just listening to SSN transfer talk and because Haller has signed for Ajax their young striker Brian Brobbey is unhappy hes only 18 but he's an absolute beast of a striker maybe we should be in for him as his contract expires in the summer could be a deal that would benefit us similar to the other mobs Dembele deal and could be a very good Morelos replacement

really hope we are targeting people like this

 

[KGR98]

really hope we are targeting people like this

Would be a real coup I can see a dortmund of something like that taking a punt on him though

 

[LRM]

Seen Taiwo Awoniyi linked today on Twitter (on loan at Union Berlin from Liverpool).. could be something in it for the summer considering the Liverpool link ‍ had a decent first half of the season in Germany apparently.

 

[Coisty87]

Yeah, with Raiola as agent he will be touted round the elite. Someone show him the success the dutch have had with us

 

[Jimmy Jazz]

You'll get told that their transfer business affects us, which is true I suppose, but I wish all talk of what they're doing was kept to a separate thread.

Union is flying (by their standards) in the BL, yet, Taiwo`s contract at Liverpool runs till 2023, so he`d cost a nice sum of money. 5 goals and 3 assists in 14 games so far this season for this 23-year old striker.

I can't see us making a loan move for a striker unless there's an option to make it permanent

 

[AzorIbrox]

Chris Cadden & Jackson Irvine are two very good signings for Hibs.

The race for 2nd heats up

Hibs and Aberdeen going head to head, although Livingston can’t be discounted

 

[BigTinder86]

For me Doig looks suspect defensively.

I would stick to developing Bassey and Maxwell.

Decent for Hibs level but i must be missing something. They keep banging on about how much money they yave lost to covid.

Nothing new there, they were pleading poverty then a week later spent £250k on Nisbet.

To be fair that investment obviously had a likely profit.

 

[Barba Roja]

Cadden last played at the end of October and then Irvine hasnt been playing since March.

Both players will be very rusty so lets hope they play next week

 

[Mac72]

Clearly rated higher at national level.

I wouldn't put a great deal of stock in that. Development at that age happens quickly and players appear out of nowhere a lot. Also Scotland youth coaches have a tendency to stick with the players who started a campaign.

Case in point Scotland u21s have Hickey, Doig and Reid (Ross county) for Lb, but the long term first choice LB has been Harvie who left Ayr in the summer, with the back up being Reading who's at Ayr. Would you put either as a better player than those 3 who are younger and playing first team football at a higher level? It wasn't until November that Hickey finally got a call up after a full year in the hearts first team and 4 months in Bologna's first team. He was being kept out of the squad by Scottish championship players.


I personally like the look of Maxwell and think he is a good prospect. He is doing well in the championship and can hopefully get a loan to the ship next season (along with Kennedy), to continue his development. Maxwell is quick and skillful but still needs to develop physically a year in the championship then premiership would do him wonders.

 

[55 and counting]

For me Doig looks suspect defensively.

I would stick to developing Bassey and Maxwell.

All FB's now can be suspect defensively to be fair just the way the position is now with more emphasis in the attacking side. Agreed on developing Bassey.

Good news.

 

[SuperGers07]

Rangers eye move for Coventry City midfielder Gustavo Hamer

Coventry midfielder Gustavo Hamer is on Rangers’ radar, according to reports.

[Mac72]

I'd be very surprised if either played more than 20/30 minutes against us.

Hibs are building quite a decent side. With Aberdeen absolutely skint, I can see Hibs ending up best of the rest next season.

 

[Andrew webb]

Any movement on d Johnson of Preston or Lundstum of Sheffield ? Probably sign one on a small fee hopefully

 

[LaudrupTheGreat]

Watched a fair bit of this lad and he is decent player from what I have seen

I think Johnson is unlikely, poster on here said we’ve spoken to Lundstrums representatives.

 

[barcelonabear]

Maxwell may be miles away from being a rangers starter but so is doig. Maxwell was a better player at every age group than doig , if Maxwell came through at Hibs he would have been ahead of doig
