Possibly 8th signing by end of the week

[WalterLoyal]

True but ironically Defoe having a club works better for us. With Cahill there’s no-one to make up the wages.

I would be stunned if it was Cahill. It's been reported he has offers from several EPL clubs. Given the reputation he has as a player and the fact there is no transfer fee he will likely still be able to command a very good wage. My guess would be 50k per week at the bare minimum.

 

[LD5]

It sounds like a free agent the way he’s talking IMO.

Not really, could be talking about things progressing in terms of fee or contract. Could be either

Yeah, probably more.

#AnnounceKompany

Not sure if you’re fishing...he is manager of Anderlecht though.

 

[mck1872]

Please don’t be Ashley Williams

 

[DJ Blue]

Neymar has fallen out with PSG

 

[RangersLad1983]

He ruled out Bligton Deli

He also ruled out signing Flanagan. Before he signed for us

 

[Shug176]

@Official_T4O: Simon Deli will move to Club Brugge. Deli got picked up today at Brussels airport by delegation of the Belgian club. Despite #RangersFC interest, it seems they will miss out.

There is an image taken by a @stamnummer3 member that we have but cannot share.

[Themaruso]

Skrtel...

 

[BrownBrogues]

Skrtel...

Enjoy the abuse

 

[Grigo Yossarian]

I wouldn't mind another left back pal I still think it's an area we must strengthen we have essentially three players fighting out for the spot and it's a troublesome area for us still imo.

I’m with you mate.

 

[CaptainCourageous]

Neymar has fallen out with PSG

Hope so, commanding, physical, ball playing centre back who instantly improve our defence.

 

[Superrangers]

Skrtel...

Skrtel would be a poor signing, old, expensive, would spend half his time suspended playing for us with the Scottish refs.

 

[Tagsbear]

Earlier in the summer I'd heard our big signing of the summer would be a top centre back and that the gaffer wanted to spend the bulk of his budget on that position, however if its been kept this quiet then I can't see that being the case, ie a huge transfer fee as it would have leaked.


My wild guess is its Gary Cahill on a free, and I'd be delighted with that if it were the case.

 

[ThursoRangers]

Skertl?

 

[Themaruso]

Enjoy the abuse

I am just throwing his name in to the thread as we have been linked to him since Gerrard arrived

I'm hoping the budget goes on a 10 and striker....

And a loan for Kent

Along with the new centre back

.... Not asking much am I?

 

[Brian Laudrup]

[stephen ferris]

I’m going for Michael Ngadeu-Ngadjui, who Is deli’s defensive partner at Slavia Prague

 

[BrownBrogues]

I know I am having my suspicions as well, especially as nobody has caught wind of who, which is something that may happen if the Manager and Player are already well acquainted

 

[Tagsbear]

Gerrard absolutely loves him going by his book so I wouldn't be surprised.

 

[Yer da]

I hope it's Skrtel. There I said it.

 

[Superrangers]

Easy for you to say.

 

[Stanley Yelnats]

I really don’t hope it’s Skrtel.

 

[oranje-viola]

We are looking for someone who is ready to go straight into the first-team, not a back-up player.

This guy could. Solid, no frills and decent pedigree. Would stroll Scottish football but longer term I think we could do better - and in Katic and Goldson probably have better already

 

[Tagsbear]

Maybe they played together for England!

Certainly if its one of the 2 big name frees who are obvious I'd definitely prefer Cahill, but don't think Skrtel would be a bad signing either.

 

[Superrangers]

Gerrard absolutely loves him going by his book so I wouldn't be surprised.

As a Liverpool follower, I preferred Agger as a defender from that era. Skrtel was tough as nails but was very hands on and would give away penalties galore nowadays.

 

[Stonelawloyal]

Fair play if we sign someome and it hasn't been leaked doesn't happen that often.

 

[Ruben Sosa]

Katic being ousted by someone like Skrtel would be a bad move so I hope people are just taking a stab in the dark.

 

[stephen ferris]

@DocStone could you not give us some obscure clue?

 

[stephen ferris]

Gary Cahill would be a great signing, can’t see it though

 

[Sir Walter]

The St Josephs CB played well today, a reckon we have progressed things as soon as the game finished. He won a lot of aerial duals and was composed on the ball.

I’m here to report a crime. An international war crime

 

[Vote For Pedro]

It’s Raphael Varane.

 

[SuperGers07]

the man who tweeted the official account good luck earlier.

cuellar

 

[Coplandbear]

I hope it's Skrtel. There I said it.

Strongly linked with Derby.

 

[WearsideGallantFew]

I might take pelters for this (don't know, not really bothered) but I wish we'd persist with Katic and Goldson. Katic is more than capable of being a starter at this level. My only gripe with Gerrard last season was Gerrard's bizarre decision to dump Katic and start playing Worrall as if Katic was some kind of youth development signing.

 

[JD1872]

I’m guessing if we are in negotiations and the name has not made the media then he is based outside of UK

 

[Tony75tfc]

F*** trying to make a song up about him lol

 

[CaptainCourageous]

As a Liverpool follower, I preferred Agger as a defender from that era. Skrtel was tough as nails but was very hands on and would give away penalties galore nowadays.

Skrtel also prone to mistakes, not as dominant in the air as made out and gives away far too many needless fouls.

Rated Agger but too many injuries.

 

[Capital G]

Please don’t be Ashley Williams

When I read he was a free agent a few days ago I did think he might be a possibility.

 

[YoungGer97]

Hopefully not Skrtel, Cahill would be way better imo but dont know how realistic that would be

 

[Stuart_WATP]

Love that everything's kept private. No ITK people, no one knows anything of this. Refreshing

 

[Superrangers]

Agreed. 100%. Agger was superb was too often injured.

 

[WalterLoyal]

Maybe Frank will do us a favour and send up Michael Hector for the season.

 

[Tagsbear]

Gary Cahill would be a great signing, can’t see it though

He'd be different class but unlikely, but with Gerrard as manager you just never know.

 

[DocStone]

@DocStone could you not give us some obscure clue?

Aye, wonk gnikcuf tnod I.

 

[Yer da]

The Asda smartprice version of Koulibaly please.

BIG UNITS.

 

[Superrangers]

Aye, wonk gnikcuf tnod I.

So clearly Welsh?

 

[LoganBear]

Aye, wonk gnikcuf tnod I.

Do you know who the defender the gaffer is referring to mate?
