Non Rangers 2022 Summer Transfer Thread

[Spart7]

A game against us does not a player make m8.

Guy you quoted is also a Millwall fan, would've meant against them, and will have seen the player a lot more than once I'd imagine.

Apologies if that's the case.

 

[Spart7]

Apologies if that's the case.

Not saying you didn't make an entirely valid point I'd 99% of the time agree with, just highlighting the poster will know the player pretty well and wouldn't be judging him off a single game in this case.

 

[Millger]

Just saying I think his a decant player & thought I would like us to have signed him be good to have your thoughts on him after the game

Was expecting Sarri to be backed more than this so far with Lazio - young winger in from Verona, could end being a good signing

Still a couple players off challenging for Champions League spots

 

[sammy1872]

First crunching challenge or snowfall and his arse will collapse and he’ll be back to South America.

Pish

It doesn’t happen. How many people said that about their jspanese guys and not a single one has shat it

He won't shit it, he will, however, react to it. He has temperament issues far, far worse than Morelos has ever had and has multiple sending offs to his name. First proper 'Scottish' challenge and it'll be very interesting to just how much both are treated differently. Can see him becoming Scott Brown levels of protected by referees up here and widespread criticism in the media of anyone that winds him up or leads to him being carded etc.

Are you saying Japanese and South Americans have the same mentality?

Is this lad not only 21 or so? Its a massive difference btw.

South American players are hardly known for being shitebags are they? Bit of a silly argument anyway as any individual player will be different regardless of where they’re from.

Either way he is signing for the beasts and I hope he is a massive failure and does indeed go full shitebag. Being 21 and moving from Argentina to Scotland and the difference in cultures of course its a relevant argumentative point.

Scotland is hardly awash with South American talent barring Morelos though is it?…

 

[brain]

I totally missed this one, Jair Tavares to Hibs from Benfica B. Seems a real coup on the surface. Makes a change from scrounging around the League 1 bosmans.

I reckon they'll finish 3rd this season.

Jota signs permanently for Celtic.

 

[SuperGers07]

Jota signs permanently for Celtic.

Interesting now that’s them essentially used up the last of last seasons transfer sale money.

Unsure on their reserves of course, but you’d think now any signing made will be fresh money or again from player sales. I seen Turnbull linked with a move south, so they’ll probably get a few million there.


A reason why it’s vital we start getting good money soon for our players. Otherwise we will be reliant on loan markets and such a while yet.

 

[Davie Weir]

No but he’s also a perfect example of a south american who was a nutter and the complete opposite of a shitebag

Let the bed wetting commence...

 

[strider]

They'd need one hell of a return on their signings. I can't see it personally.

Hearts to be third again is my bet.

On signings other clubs have made in the league, keep an eye out for Miovski at Aberdeen. One of those signings that will either be amazing or awful, no inbetween.

They'll get at least £3m for Turnbull as it's not likely he will go for less than they paid. They can also afford to speculate a little bit on more signings as they are guaranteed the UCL pot. I think they now don't have any loan players.

Their signings are decent, but so far I don't see any game changers from last season, albeit the same applies to us so far in the window.

I know a team who need a striker.

Shitebag or not I hope he has the daft streak that South Americans in the 90's all seemed to have when they really didn't take kindly to the notion of turning up for training. Mind one of the Inter players in the era (Adriano or Recoba maybe) had it in his contract that he could disappear to the Rio carnival every year.

Didn't they knock back a seriously big fee only a few years ago?

Anything that makes him another failed signing would be great

 

[strider]

Yeah, more than once I'm sure. This is a period in football where many players are taking the opportunity to run contracts down and feel comfortable they'll get a good move.

 

[Kirkhillbear]

Left back was their real weakness in the side IMO
If this guy addresses that they’re in good shape.
They’ll need some reinforcement at CM though after losing Bitton and Rogic

Meanwhile we stand still.

 

[Crouchy]

Meanwhile we stand still.

It’s ok, still 30 (enter any number pre match day 1) days until the season starts…

 

[Cathcart Bear]

Yeah certainly becoming more prevalent.

 

[Davie Weir]

Very possible that this will become the new normal and we’ll see less long term contracts without release clauses. Makes much more sense from a players pov.

 

[Dontwasteit!]

Meanwhile we stand still.

It’s the 1st July and we’ve brought in Souttar and looking to add Colak. That’s not standing still.

It’s 4 weeks still until our first league game and CL qualifiers. Relax.

They're guaranteed 30-40m CL money this season.

 

[scotty27]

Can't be many clubs who are having a better window than Spurs. Kicking on from their strong finish to the season with proven Premier League and Serie A quality.

 

[KensingtonBlue]

Regardless of the money spent or opinions on the players etc, fact is they’ve now signed 5 players on permanent contracts

Whilst we’ve yet to do anything

Pre season is imminent. Does the club really think the squad that lost the league is acceptable going into the new season?

 

[SecondBestIsNothing]

That’s Ange a few million shy of spending our entire budget under King & Co. over the past year.

What an underdog story

 

[Davie Weir]

They’re going to be a really interesting team next season under Conte

They have the ability to do this mostly because they aren't scared to sell players to generate funds though. A huge chunk of our fanbase wants to keep our current players forever.

 

[CaptainCourageous]

They've tied down Carter-Vickers and Jota. A good season and they'll move on for a profit. Same goes for Abada. Juranovic has also been linked with a move away after one season. That's not panty wetting as some like to put it, that's football and something they have done quite successfully over the years. Last year it was Frimpong, Ajer and Edouard. They've also got guaranteed Champions League money.

That's on us for not winning the league when we held a clear advantage in the title race.

 

[Lunnysbestonearth]

Another 24 hours of has he signed has he not

 

[Brissy Bear]

Can see them either challenging, or he’ll be sacked by the World Cup. Can’t work out which!

I think they’ll do well and it’s great to see Conte getting backed so he can work his magic. I think they’ll get top 4 again quite easily if their signings gel and they’ll get a decent run in the CL. City with Haaland will be some force but I could see Spurs doing well in the cups.

I think that’s the killer, he’s strengthened them on paper - but on paper city and Liverpool much stronger too.

 

[HamiltonBear]

I thought Julian was a better defender than carthorse if I’m being honest.

Very very similar in that they never got yellows, reds and penalties given against them.
Julie-Anne should have been red carded in about 5 of her first 8 or 9 games. She can't deal with physical strikers, at all.

 

[RossS1872]

This nonsense about them standing still because they signed loans permanently, if we say just as still as them, then logic dictates that we still finish behind them

 

[Northampton Lodger]

Think the problem in England now is that you have Liverpool and City. All the rest are spending tens of millions to get 3rd / 4th or avoid relegation if a promoted club has a shock season.

 

[Henry Hill]

They are spending thats for sure

I'm to be convinced on Richarlison tbh

 

[giogaddi]

Who's everyone's favourite new Yahoo signing?

Who you all excited about the most?

 

[HamiltonBear]

I always thought Julian was actually quite decent and wrongly laughed at here for 1/2 bad games versus the likes of Dykes. He was/is a good ball playing centre half that for a team like Celtic on the ball plenty is what they mainly need. It’s why the big lump Duffy failed so badly - siege defenders are not what Celtic/Rangers need 9/10.

If he’s done hope he bleeds them dry doing a bobo.

Constantly pulling players down, dragging them back and getting involved off the ball. If he played for us his disciplinary record would have been appalling.

Saddens me to see how most also would rather the mediocre league position over cups or Europe.

Joke how badly they all usually look upon the Europa; Burnley FFS had reserve sides out.
West Ham at least went for it.

I get league positions in England can mean much more than all sponsorship of Scottish football combined. But as a fan surely rather be 12th than 10th, but win something!

 

[HamiltonBear]

Completely ignore the fact they were given an 8 year free ride with no competition to get to that stage.

Don’t even think it’s the fans that are the issue - this Board has shown in the recent past they aren’t afraid of making decisions they know will be unpopular with the fan base.

For whatever reason (Patterson aside) we have been piss poor at realising the value of our assets, no idea whether that’s down to genuine lack of interest in our players (doubtful) or our valuations are too high or some other factor.

Of course if we were to sell a Morelos or Kent there would be some moans but the vast majority know that’s where we are in the football world now and would just get on with it provided suitable replacements are secured.

 

[John Knox's Trumpet]

I'm not sure what point you're trying to make? They've turned over their team at least twice in the last few seasons from Rodgers to Lennon and then to Postecoglu.

I think the English clubs have, in the main, been better that way in the Europa League since winning it leads to a CL place.

Burnley bottled it because they had a horrible start to the league that season. In 18/19 we had an all English final, and Man Utd made the final in 2021.
