The Summer 2022 Rangers Transfer Window Rumours and Deals - Thread

[Xtal]

Whether we bid in the end or not we seem to consistently be scouting players like him who would improve us a lot, good signs.

He looks similar to Kent and Aribo with dribbling and committing people, we've long needed another player like that to give us an extra dimension in those tight domestic games.

You'd see the world of difference in some of our key players if they had a proper right winger or creative midfielder of similar quality to chip in.

 

[Davie Weir]

Yep thought they gave us a decent deal with Hagi at the time.

Genk - a great bunch of lads.

Looks like they beat Celtic to his signing in the first place so it would be great if they stopped him going there and give him to us on the cheap

 

[Bluebeard]

Didn’t see where the actual link to Bongonda came from but is there any mention of how much Genk want? He was a record signing for them.

He only has 1 year left is all we know. Don’t imagine it will be that much

In his last year and is unwanted, can't see it being crazy money

 

[JD1872]

Bongonda is an interesting one. It is a market Wilson knows well, he has one year left on his deal and would fit into our wage structure

Good goals and assist stats and can play on either side or as an AM

First rumour for a while that is exciting

 

[Commander Bjorklund]

We have a fairly decent relationship with Genk, could be legs in this transfer. Not going to get my hopes up too high though. Fingers crossed though.

Agreed, we did get a good deal off them with Hagi as well.

Just checked and 5 days after Bongonda was born, the first Rangers game to take place since his birth we battered Hibs 4-1

Hagi's first goal for Rangers? A winner against Hibs.

If anyone has read my previous posts on here then they'll know I'm firmly in the 'happy clapper' camp of posters as I am rarely negative about anything but I wouldn't be spending millions on him if those are his highlights. All I saw was lightening pace, poor control, a small amount of skill and trickery but a real lack of composure/decision making lacking any real end product in that highlight reel. Beat a man, give it away etc. Predominantly played on the left and continuously ran into cul de sacs. What we need is a right winger with skill who can beat a low block defence and provide assists as well as a goal threat. On that evidence he looks like Sakala, who i like, minus the goals and assists and suits a counterattacking team. Obviously if we sign him I'll support him fully, give him time to settle in etc and not judge him on his first poor game but I was not impressed by that at all and his skillset is the exact opposite of what we need imo.

His stats on Transfermkt suggest different to this, loads of goals and assists for a wide player.

Stats and short clips don’t give anywhere near the full picture though.

I am still getting over the Peña YouTube sensation.

 

[RotterdamBear]

We will ask for a loan to buy and get laughed out the building

Cheers guys, quite an exciting rumour if we were able to get him on the cheap. He looks like a player who’d fit right in here.

 

[Bluebeard]

These clues are like Ted Rogers 321 from back in the day

 

[Davie Weir]

Why would we ask to loan a player who has 12 months on his deal?

 

[Best on earth #4]

I know Blue Beard loves a fantasy lineup and spelling isn’t his strong point but why wouldn't that team win us the league? Maybe Lowry doesn’t start every week and I’d probably want another attacking midfielder coming in too.

Hagi?

 

[Rick_Sanchez]

I'd be very surprised if he goes over to Portugal if the reported interest is true.

Of course he will, it’s his job ffs.

“Sorry boss, I’m staying home based on some speculative interest from a team down south”

 

[Tagsbear]

You are one dreary fucker man!

 

[Loyal72]

Wilson sure likes the Belgian league.

 

[Davie Weir]

Hagi?

Think he’ll be a great option to have when he gets fit again but his injury is a big one to recover from and from what his dad said it’ll be a while

 

[Commander Bjorklund]

These clues are like Ted Rogers 321 from back in the day

We play Hibs in matchday 4 of the new season as well, which means we won't have to wait too long for Bongonda to score his first Rangers goal.

 

[Spart7]

Agreed. Pena looked absolutely fucking magic in his. Hopefully you're right and this is the opposite.

 

[Govan Ger]

Cast your mind back to the last 6months of their failed 10 in a row bid!

Those players demanded they get out the club, they were being given police escorts and had to park their cars in secret locations.

It’s not that strange when you think about it

The point is they got top dollar for players in the last 12 months of their contract and we have someone on here saying we might have to accept 6m for Aribo.

I find that strange.

 

[venturablue]

Most Belgium clubs have remained with the transfer agreements during Covid of 60% up front then the remainder paid across 18 months + and or a sell on fee. Genk are also a brilliant club to deal with as well of having a history of developing young players. Leipzig were looking at Kristian Thorstvedt, that's how my mate crossed paths with scouts representing Rangers.

 

[Rick_Sanchez]

Strange move

He’s clearly not that good. Seems like nobody of note was interested.

 

[CaptainCourageous]

Wilson has a hardon for the Belgian league

Some cracking players in that league; Bongonda, Tresor, Oyen, Skov Olsen, Openda, De Ketelaerea (sp), Lang, Storm, Verschaeren, Samoise.

 

[Rickety Cricket]

Looks good. Looks a left winger though.

Not seeing much more than what Sakala gives us. Seems to be a few stray passes in there. Imagine him doing that at Ibrox. Ooft, boy wouldn't get 5 games to settle

 

[Coplandbear]

Bongonda is an interesting one. It is a market Wilson knows well, he has one year left on his deal and would fit into our wage structure

Good goals and assist stats and can play on either side or as an AM

First rumour for a while that is exciting

Interest from Royal Antwerp, Clubs in France, Germany and the far east according to reports.

 

[RotterdamBear]

He's had some success there for Southampton as well I think ?

Tom Lang?

 

[Nopapacnoparty]

A rumour in the transfer rumour thread !!!!!

 

[Battle Fever's On]

Could be Kent's replacement.

He who must not be named (on this thread)

stop getting yourselves all excited troops lol

So you are a scout?

 

[Tagsbear]

There was one that was a compilation of his goals that was shown on Mexican TV, some of them were out of this world, Messi-esque, I couldn‘t believe we were getting him or why he wasn’t picked up by Barcelona or Madrid.

Turns out it was because he was a lazy piss head

 

[Gmcg95]

Ready to have my heart broken again, all in on this Bongonda. Why do I do this to myself

 

[Taverneeeeer]

I think he would have the space and time to try at Ibrox. Tynecastle, killie and livi might be a different kettle of fish. But its a rumour so I have a large collection of butt-plugs.

 

[andyb1776]

Aww ffs, someone name drops a player and everyone's panties are getting wetter than the pitch at the Harry Styles concert.

Until they are in a Rangers strip then to be fair no-one knows anything apart from the club.

 

[DarthVader]

What could we have done though if they didn't want to sign new deals and no acceptable bids were coming in for them?

If we tried to force them into a move last year because they wouldn't sign on then we would have got even shitter bids and no doubt have been weaker on the park.

I don't believe for a minute that clubs can't or don't encourage offers for their players via agents, media, etc.

 

[rez1872]

He will have a good lifestyle but within a season he will be playing in serie B getting his leg hairs ripped out and scissored from behind in front of a few thousand people

Salernitana have money behind them. They have ambitions beyond yo-yoing between A and B.

Also his mate Emil Bohinen is there. And 1 good season will get him a move to a bigger club in Italy.

Its not the terrible career move some on here will have you believe.

 

[CaptainCourageous]

Tom Lang?

Noa Lang. Brugge paid decent money for him from Ajax. I think Dave Vos had him in the youths?

 

[Ranger1003]

Na no chance he had 3 shots at goal in the 1st half of highlights. Shoots to much for us

You mentioned you're into player profiling. Have you watched much of Bongonda?

What's ur take on him and suitability at us?

 

[Thewandofpedro]

McLaughlin
Tavernier
Goldson
Souttar
Bassey

Lundstram
Kamara
Lowrie

Morelos
Kent
Bongdongo

Woooft

Can we play with 12?

 

[jimbear]

Theo Bongonda was highly rated before he joined Celta. Had a pretty good first season in La Liga. Sort of fell off after that. Mainly plays left wing but likes to come centrally and out on the right. Work rate is tremendous, presses, tracks back, just never tires. Loves a shot at goal too.

If we’ve scouted Bongonda I’d hope we’ve got an eye on Luca Oyen. A very good AM.

That's a bit more reassuring than the video clip that's been posted. I have to admit that I was not impressed.

 

[M@x]

Maybe this isn't the best thread for you then!

Rules!

Why all in on a player you know nothing about?

 

[T WATP]

PSV and Feyenoord are in for him, was a player I thought we would’ve kept an eye on after he played against us for Willem

 

[bornabluenose]

On the basis of that video clip, I share your opinion.

I'm guessing, if we are interested , the scouts have watched a bit more of him than a YouTube video.

He is as unknown to me as he is to you, but fortunately ,he won't be unknown to those that matter.

That was my take on the video as well mate. YouTube highlight reels can be deceiving but he didn't strike me as the type who would excel for us domestically against deep lying defences.
