Frightening amount of player still to exit

[Robert California]

Assuming the deals for Aribo & Ojo go through, we expecting a first choice left back, 2 x centre backs and another front man in?

If we then perhaps expect Greg Docherty, Hastie, Middleton & Ross McCrorie to go out on loan, I reckon we could still have to get the following payers out the door, which is quite a task.

Thoughts?

Foderingham or Alnwick
Firth
Barisic
Dorrans
Holt
Rossiter
Candeias
Murphy
Grezda
Hardie
Dodoo
Lafferty
Herrera

Candeias & Murphy won’t be going anywhere.

Aye they’re just back from their holidays, give them 5 mins to empty their lockers

Murphys going nowhere but you can add Morelos to that list so it’ll be 2 front men we need.

Why are people saying Hastie is going out on loan?

 

[Robert California]

Candeias & Murphy won’t be going anywhere.

I reckon at least one will, assuming we get Kent back on loan

 

[MrRangers]

the squad is bloated. sure most will be moved on or loaned out by end of transfer window.

 

[AmsterdamBear]

Barisic & Murphy should stay.

 

[Rich Uncle Skeleton]

Why Firth?

 

[Teuchterblue]

Some will be sold(if possible), some will go out on loan, and some may be frozen out or paid off. I expect a substantial number will be loaned out.

 

[SecondBestIsNothing]

Well it's Groundhog Day...again....

 

[Bigbluebear]

Firth, Barisic, Murphy, Candeias wont be leaving.

 

[Robert California]

Why Firth?

He may well stay, and both Fod & Alwick could go, but word was that Robbie McCrorie would be No.3

 

[VelvetThunder]

We spent what two years putting up with Rossiter’s injuries because we could see he was a good player when he played. Now he’s actually went away and got some games under his belt while on loan, came back with no injuries but now he’s to go out the door? Where is the logic in that?

 

[AstralFlame72]

They're all as useless as a marzipan dildo.

 

[Kimarcus]

We've currently got a squad of 34 senior players with maybe 6/7 more players to come in. I'd say we need at least 12 players to leave which could include the following:

Barisic
Holt
Rossiter
Dorrans
Grezda
Dodoo
Herrera
Hardie
Lafferty

+ loaning out the likes of Hastie, Middleton, etc.

 

[sh3lldon]

FFS the panicking already everyone is aware we have ages to go and players are just beginning to return today

 

[Bothwell Street Bear]

Why’s it frightening?

 

[Klaus]

Murphys going nowhere but you can add Morelos to that list so it’ll be 2 front men we need.

Why are people saying Hastie is going out on loan?

Devlin in The Sun said we want to loan him out for the season.

Because for whatever reason, he has never managed four games in a row in a Rangers shirt over three season's and appears unable to cope with the demands of being a Rangers player

 

[Superrangers]

Oh to be in the position of not having to move on 10-15 players every summer.

 

[Robert California]

Why’s it frightening?

The wage bill, alone, and the work required to get poorly-performing players out the door. If we don't, we will have a squad of circa 40 fkn players!

 

[Kimarcus]

Why are people saying Hastie is going out on loan?

Supposedly going to League One on loan. English League One that is.

That was the kind of jist of my post in short, hopefully this is the last summer of such an upheaval, paying the price for previously disastrous transfer windows....

Indeed. The amount of money we must have spunked on payoffs over the years is unforgivable.

A conservative estimate is that a dozen of these players combined, who will be surplus to requirements will be costing more than £6m a year on wages...

 

[Bluebrox]

IMO, the manager will give Rossiter another crack at the whip and see how it goes.

One player SG is not likely to give up on is Jordan Rossiter. He'll be massively wanting him to deliver in this Rangers team.

I'd love nothing more than to see him flourish, as he looks like he could be terrific, but 3-years of constant injuries give me no confidence, sadly

 

[permatan]

Frightening? It's a satisfying purge

 

[Graemeh89]

I’ve got a feeling BB will stay and be our first choice LB

 

[Robert California]

Frightening? It's a satisfying purge

It will be once completed, but it's a massive task to find takers for all these guys, especially those under longer contracts. Big car-boot sale

 

[Marstonbear]

I’m sure there was a 2 liner in the Record recently to say Herrera was away

 

[Robert California]

I’m sure there was a 2 liner in the Record recently to say Herrera was away

Hopefully, but sadly I think he still has one-year left on his deal

 

[RDFM]

I think these are the players that’ll leave us this window either by loan or permanent

Foderingham
Alnwick
Dorrans
Lafferty
Barisic
Morelos
Grezda
Holt
Dodoo
Herrera
Rossiter
Hardie
Middleton (Loan)
With potentially another couple youngsters going out loan

Most of the players here should be very shiftable

I think Barisic,Candieas & Murphy will stay.The rest will hopefully be moved on.

 

[Bluebrox]

After a good season last season with a good run of injury-free games I feel he will be given every opportunity by SG to stake his claim.

Clean slate in pre-season and it's up to every player to show their worth to the manager. I'm quietly confident Rossiter has what it takes.

 

[The Bearded Bluenose]

Rossiter should be given a chance, Murphy will stay, Candy either way to be honest, good squad player. The rest can go

 

[Oduwa]

@Strickland Banks Do you feel our unwanted players always stay too long?

 

[TavsRightFoot]

Worked this up earlier and assuming all incoming players rumored, it leaves us with 39 currently.

Rangers Squad 17.06.19

 

[Robert California]

I would imagine it causes a day-to-day logistical problem too, until these guys are moved on, having to split groups in training etc, and someone has to spend all day liaising with clubs and agents to get things moving.

Boom, Boom!

Writing's on the wall for a few of them!

 

[giogaddi]

Candeias & Murphy won’t be going anywhere.

I doubt Barisic or Dorrans will be either.

Those in bold will be quickly sold if/when appropriate bids for them are made.

As for the rest, places in the squad are up for grabs from day one. I’d imagine that by the end of July some may leave on loan/permanent depending on how well they perform in the next few weeks.

 

[Kimarcus]

Only really Barisic and Grezda have longer term deals. Everyone else that needs cleared out (some may disagree on Barisic) only have 1 year deals now so shouldn't be too hard to achieve the clear out needed.

 

[TavsRightFoot]

 

[Robert California]

SG apparently likes Alnwick, and Fod was supposed to go out last summer, but couldn't agree a deal

 

[Teddy bear]

We never "put up" with his injuries.
He was a young lad under contract.
Now hes fit we have options with him, whether that's offloading him or playing him.

 

[Awrawans]

Players turnstile is jammed atm

 

[Realger34]

Couple of threads on this already and it’s unbelievable that Murphy name appears on them.

He’s going nowhere imo!

 

[omegaman]

I reckon at least one will, assuming we get Kent back on loan

This is a point I find myself being something of a lone voice on here banging on about: why would we still be pursuing Kent on loan when we’ve just added Ojo to the seven existing wide players we have on the books?

Middleton has gone on loan and Hastie may join him which would then reduce the number to six, and while we might like to sell Grezda, what if he doesn’t fancy budging?

I don't really see where Kent fits in now in terms of structure, available resources and remaining priorities.
