Beale said not long after he signed to take the press with a pinch of salt and that we got a good deal.What?
How is he “worth more to us than £7m regardless”???
If we win 55 then...aye.
It is utterly bizzare the way our fans talk our players down. Pisses me right off.Beale said not long after he signed to take the press with a pinch of salt and that we got a good deal.
He's worth more than £7m to us because we'd rightly laugh at a club if they bid that for him. He's 23 and has an incredibly high ceiling.
Absolutely sick to death of people talking our players down for no valid reason, it goes beyond valid criticism.
Can play left back or centre back apparently, so maybe yepCan he play in the middle left, that would be a good option with Borna behind him.
Barisic is Numan in this scenarioI get that but rather than sign half and dozen “projects “ get one “ numan”.
A) We didn't pay £7m for Kent.
B) He's worth more to us than £7m regardless.
Rangers are delighted to announce the pre-contract signing of Calvin Bassey from Leicester City.
The highly-rated 20-year-old defender has made the decision to join the Gers on a four-year-deal with Rangers paying training compensation to Leicester after Bassey decided to make the switch from the Midlands across the border to Scotland.
Italian-born Bassey, who can play as a left back or centre back, is also eligible for Nigeria and England, and will officially become a Ranger when the transfer window opens.
Speaking about his new signing, manager Steven Gerrard said: “There was a lot of clubs interested in Calvin and for us it’s pleasing to secure the services of another young talent.
“He’s a strong and dynamic athlete who is very much the modern day full back. He will develop further and we are excited to have made another strong addition to our group.
“He’s left-footed, physically powerful and enjoys driving forward and is certainly equipped to thrive in the combative nature of Scottish football. We continue to look ahead to next season and Calvin is another positive addition as we continue to build the strength and depth of our squad.”
Sporting Director, Ross Wilson underlined his delight at securing the signing, adding: “Calvin has a really bright future and we are pleased to have attracted him to Rangers.
“The scouting staff identified him at the end of last year and Steven and I have been tracking his situation extensively since then. His ability to play as a full back and centre back will provide us with new depth defensively and doing that was one of our primary targets for this summer.
“He is a young man bursting with enthusiasm and positivity and I know how excited he is to be continuing his journey under the guidance of Steven and the staff.”
Calvin Bassey commented: “I am delighted to join Rangers and secure my future at a club of such stature. When I entered talks with Rangers, I knew this club was right for me. Of course I am thankful for everything Leicester has done for me and I am now very excited about working under Steven Gerrard and his coaching team to continue my progression.
“I have heard about the amazing atmosphere at Ibrox. I can’t wait to start pre-season and take my career to the next level in the famous blue Rangers jersey.”
Was pissing myself at it earlier, that place is a poisonous as fvckIf anyone wants a laugh go on Rangersmedia and check the forum they have on Bassey, supposedly Barisic wasn't even our best left back last season and should be punted ASAP.
I was the one he replied to, no wonder I've stopped posting on that place. Full of absolute fucking doughnutsWas pissing myself at it earlier, that place is a poisonous as fvck
£7m is pretty much nothing in British football these days. Clubs buy academy aged players for that and don't care if it doesn't work out.I think people struggle with figures like £7m in footbal now.
You want a promising English player from Liverpool? Then at least £7m is your price.
It's a big figure to us and sounds like an amount that we can't sell on, but its absolutely a buy to sell purchase. £7m isn't a massive fee in British football now - it was a price we had to pay and absolutely one that was worth it.

For all of the abuse Kent gets, he's one of the few that you know will produce in the big games. He absolutely thrives against Celtic and in Europe, people are too willing to forget how good he can be so they can write him off as an expensive dud.
Here’s another response from a guy on the Leicester forum:
Just tried to create a Wikipedia page for him but apparently it was rejected as he isn’t well known enough, cheeky bastards!
That is daft and not even funny. One small plus about this covid crap, I don't get on here much when I am away working because it is blocked. FF is usually just a quick read if lucky and not signed in.If anyone wants a laugh go on Rangersmedia and check the forum they have on Bassey, supposedly Barisic wasn't even our best left back last season and should be punted ASAP.
£3.5m if went to anywhere else bar ScotlandDavies is one of the best young full back's in the world.
We're not getting a player like that for 230k
Will be cover to replace Halliday ect
Absolutely mental there are people on here complaining about this signing. They clearly have no clue about football and how to build a squad.
Should’ve known it was you SkysonI was the one he replied to, no wonder I've stopped posting on that place. Full of absolute fucking doughnuts
This, this, this all day long.We need a captain and a leader on the park.
Never heard of him
Hopefully he’s for cover
Ultimately, we need to sign proven quality if we want to win league titles.
Signing project type players hasn’t exactly worked for us since Warburton came in
I'll reserve judgement when I see him play. I've never heard of him, never seen him play for Leicester. I didn't think we'd be going for unproven players when we're trying to stop 10.
Taken from Goal: “The 2021 Africa Cup of Nations is set to take place between January 9 and February 6, 2021. The tournament was originally scheduled for June and July 2021, but CAF announced that they would be moving the dates to a winter period due to the weather conditions of the summer.”
Hopefully gets postponed as we could do without losing Aribo, although it does look like it will as it’s one of the reason have decided against buying Werner because Mane and Salah won’t be missing due to Afcon
@Chesterfield bear
What kind of players did you think we would be bringing in to be back up to someone else?I'll reserve judgement when I see him play. I've never heard of him, never seen him play for Leicester. I didn't think we'd be going for unproven players when we're trying to stop 10.
