Gerrard linked with move for Tavernier and Goldson

[Bonnyloyal]

Steven Gerrard has launched a move to team up with Rangers skipper James Tavernier in next season’s Saudi Pro League.

And the former Ibrox boss is also believed to be closely monitoring the situation of Connor Goldson as he mulls over a potential double swoop on his old club this summer. Record Sport revealed speculation linking Tavernier with his former boss - which stretches back almost 12 months to Gerrard’s shock appointment at Al-Ettifaq - has been building again in recent weeks.


On Wednesday multiple outlets across the Persian Gulf state began reporting that a deal for the 32-year-old could be thrashed out after Scotland’s domestic campaign reaches a thrilling climax when the Old Firm go head-to-head at Hampden in the Scottish Cup Final on May 25. While Goldson’s name was not mentioned in those initial reports, it’s understood Gerrard is keen on being reunited with the man he lured north from Brighton six years ago to form a title winning partnership with Tavernier on the right hand side of his Rangers back four

Ah, the Daily Record, the paper that hates us...

 

[A Magician Named Gob]

Big fan of both despite the mental criticism they get for being the ones who make themselves fit every week, but this is probably the best outcome for all parties if they're keen on moving there.

 

[Andrew webb]

Would definitely sell if money was decent
Hopefully true
(On another note Barry Ferguson says Harry Souttar wants to play along with his brother )

 

[Aribo17]

30m for both. Thanks Stevie

 

[dh1963]

How are Gerrard's team doing in the Saudi league? Will he definitely still be their manager in the summer?

 

[Hooty]

“Launched a move”
“Double Swoop”
“Closely monitoring”

It clearly doesn’t take much to be a journalist.

 

[Florabear]

I'd take 10 for both.

 

[A Magician Named Gob]

30m for both. Thanks Stevie

Revised figures after a draw or defeat?

 

[Jelle1880]

1. Don't believe a word of that

2. Please be true

 

[Artful Dodger]

File under rhecord pish. Any and every means to undermine us.

Signed a new deal I’m sure

They're fighting a PR battle as much as a sporting one. I'd be surprised if they wanted to move on a name like Gerrard that has worldwide recognition unless things are going drastically wrong.

 

[cooprfc]

We'd probably need an offer of £10m to make it worthwhile selling Tavernier tbh.

Reason being we'd need another right back even if we saw Sterling as the natural successor and Devine isn't going to be good enough. On top of that, if we did see Sterling as the successor then that means we need other players to cover for Sterlings versatility as he wouldn't be able to be moved if he was first choice right back which leaves us light in other areas. So that's a few million right off the bat even before you consider his output in terms of goals and assists. So it needs to be a silly offer otherwise it makes more sense just to keep him.

 

[arnietac1]

Is the sports news really that slow this week?

 

[BlueSteish]

Take them both

 

[WillowBear]

Oh well looks like it's Tav and Goldson out and if the airport story is true Alfie is our new RB with Kent as CB.


Glad that's all sorted.

 

[LarkfiedLoyalNS]

Would be the best thing Gerrard ever done for Rangers after winning 55 and patch up the dodgy way he left, although with the way the owners treated him can’t blame him in hind sight.

 

[A Magician Named Gob]

For anyone following this detestable league, do they have limits on foreign players or is it just how many they can attract to go there that they're currently working with?

 

[YeahButNoBut]

£ 25m wouldn't be unwelcome.

 

[PrisonMike]

Is this the 5th or 6th time this story's been said now?

No smoke without fire I suppose.

 

[Madjid Moments]

Yes please. Thank you Steven.

 

[DM55]

Conveniently timed rumour..

 

[insanicdrunk]

As with every player, let them go if the price is right.

 

[Valley Bluenose]

Ah, the Daily Record, the paper that hates us...

File under rhecord pish. Any and every means to undermine us.

From other reports, I think the story originated in the Saudi media. An outlet called Slaati - which is probably Arabic for ‘Record’.

The rumour on Tav has been kicking around for months.

 

[Davieblue1977]

Show us the money Steve

 

[BigBadJohn]

I'd be happy with this but it's just more lazy garbage journalism.

 

[ColdLager]

As with every player, let them go if the price is right.

30 quid and 74 quid should cover it

 

[MickF]

Decent money for two players in their 30’s would be a welcome bonus.

 

[gsobers96]

No deal unless he also takes Scott Wright. Willing to accept a slightly smaller transfer fee for this to happen.

 

[GF1]

It would make sense for us if they were paying big money.

They have to leave sometime and have definitely peaked. They aren't getting any better each season.

Would allow us to move on and get some decent young players in. Nobody else will buy them as they aren't EPL level and they won't give up European football for the Championship

 

[SDF]

For anyone following this detestable league, do they have limits on foreign players or is it just how many they can attract to go there that they're currently working with?

Teams can register eight. They currently have nine in their squad with Robin Quaison remaining unregistered.

Another three are on loan elsewhere.

How are Gerrard's team doing in the Saudi league? Will he definitely still be their manager in the summer?

Signed a new deal to 2027 in January.

When was the last time a manager left us or that lot and actually signed one of their old players?

The amount of times you see stories of managers supposedly planning a "swoop" on their old club yet it pretty much never happens.

Advocaat and Ricksen springs to mind.

Does Rory Wilson signing for Villa count? Only one I can think of off the top of my head within the last 15 years or so.

 

[MRT 99]

Sun running with now too. Never heard anything on Goldson but not the first time tav being linked. Probably just lazy links but both have ran their course at rangers, time for a major change hopefully something in it.

 

[Div1872]

Irrespective of how the league ends (positive for us or negative) if we get good offers from Saudi and the players want to earn huge money in Saudi then we would need to take the money

Great players over the years but Goldson has been poor for a while aTav has been inconsistent and rotten v Ross county and Dundee

I’d take good fees and thank them for their service and wish them in Saudi

Barrie McKay to Nottingham Forest after Warburton went there I think?

 

[SuperGers07]

Was a fair bit of talk before the Dundee game that Tav had agreed in principle to join them in the summer.

Just had a look, they are 7th. Miles behind Al Hilal.

A little unsettling rumour just as the run in starts you say? Hmmmm.

Warburton and Barrie McKay. Pedro also took Pena on loan to Cruz Azul.

 

[Sticky Fingers]

Tavernier is worth at the very least £10m to us, despite his age and shortfalls in his defending ability, his goals and assists are almost worth their weight in gold and still could be come the end of May.

Goldson should really be worth in the £5-7m mark, again considering his age and defensive shortfalls. That being said, he’s been a hugely consistent player for us and always wants to be available but he has let us down on a few occasions when we’ve needed him to be big.

They’ve had a good time here, great memories and some bad as well, they’ve earned a move that will secure their lives after football and id personally welcome a move for both to let the manger find a proper revolution and bring in fresh faces that will hopefully elevate the club.

 

[Skunkworks]

Tav and Goldson finish the season with a treble then jet off to Saudi for some life changing money for themselves and their families to set them up for life and we pocket and hefty transfer fee for both as well ……

I think someone should call my wife and tell her im starting to show signs of a manic episode !

 

[The Moon on Mars is Blue]

And in the DR Sports office the sports team are thinking Rangers are in a league race and a cup final what can we do to try and unsettle them and help Peter .

 

[1BrianLaudrup]

Imagine being a Reach PLC executive and knowing that one of the key cogs driving your entire business is making up stories that will get us talking/arguing on FF.

 

[Evano1872]

Both under contract until 2026 so best time to sell is this summer.
