The Summer 2022 Rangers Transfer Window Rumours and Deals - Thread

[venturablue]

So you are a scout?

I done a player data analyst course at the Cruyff institute and have completed a few courses on player identification in England.

This isn't my full-time job but I'd like to work towards it.

Currently submitting scouting reports to several clubs and data collection hubs.

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

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

I've not watched him in person no. Last time I was in Genk it was to make a report on Junya Ito, who I suggested on here at the time. My report made its way to Dortmund and Lille but wasn't followed up

I believe Théo would be a replacement for Kent if he did arrive. I could also see him being used in a style that Conte used Moses at Chelsea.

 

[Dj12872]

Can’t wait till he signs for someone else and then everyone goes into meltdown about a guy that nobody knows if we want because a poster said we did want him

 

[blutos]

Know who else is at Salernitana?

Lassana Coulibaly!

Could he and Kent play in the same side together?

Why all in on a player you know nothing about?

Mate I’ve watched a youtube video, I know all I need to know

 

[Commander Bjorklund]

Youtube highlight reels usually tell you more about the abilities of the person who edited the video, than what they tell you about the player.

Good to see multiple posters write off a player who hasn't been linked with us for any longer than an hour on the basis of a youtube video.

 

[sw26]

Wilson has a hardon for the Belgian league

Mental league structure at least, makes our garbage split look sane with the bollocks they do with cutting the points in half after the 'regular' season finishes and before the 'playoffs'.

Bet Neil Doncaster absolutely loves it.

 

[BrooklynBlue]

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

You mean like Hagi? From the same club?

 

[Gardy90]

Are we getting ahead of ourselves with a rumour about a guy who knows a guy who’s a scout in Germany?!

I’m in.

 

[RTamID]

Tom Lang?

I'd say rules but this thread is more than off the intended!! Shame!! Love a Tom Lang post

 

[jimbear]

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

The thing about Pena was that he actually did possess more than a fair amount of natural ability. That video of Boganda did not inspire me with cconfidence in his abilities.

And a few who think he is as good as messi

World would be a boring place if we all had the same opinions.

My 2 bobs worth from the 5 minutes youtube reel is somewhere in the middle, very decent pace, direct with an eye for shooting but maybe not the most skilful.

It’s Bongdonga mate

 

[Est1872]

How long until The 4th Official tweets "I'm hearing of Rangers interest in Theo Bongonda."

 

[DrMantisTobogganMD]

Are people getting excited over another player (Bongonda) we havent been linked with?

 

[bornabluenose]

I'd agree with that , unlucky for us , he pissed his natural ability down the drain.

 

[HamiltonBear]

I don't understand how you could possibly get more than the buy out clause, that doesn't make any sense whatsoever!

Maybe saying they are not sure of the exact figure in any clause?

Its just mental judging a player off a few minutes, either way, good or bad.

To suddenly decide he can’t play against Scottish Premiership defences, haha, madness.

I liked until I read you saying he would be replacing kent

Surely he’s to join kent, and Morelos , up front.

Remember Sebo looked a big battering ram goal machine!

Peña? Really

Am away to bed it’s freezing

 

[Candyass]

All aboard the Theo train.

Your lucky none of the red tops are media partners, otherwise we'd be sending you to the petrol station at 11

Depends on where Kent gets played, I’d fire him over to the right

 

[FhillBear]

All aboard the bong train

 

[Zwingli'sSausages]

Could be Kent's replacement.

Kent's going nowhere imo.

 

[venturablue]

Could he and Kent play in the same side together?

Of course they could play together. He has experience of playing on the right side. These are just my opinions that he would've more effective on the left which would mean either Kent switches or he would replace Kent if he was sold.

 

[Zwingli'sSausages]

Why all in on a player you know nothing about?

Take your rationality out of this space, please.

 

[Abacab]

BONGONDAAAAA COME ON DOWN

 

[JMCK]

Hopefully Kent stays, such a great player.

 

[dunn1872]

How long until The 4th Official tweets "I'm hearing of Rangers interest in Theo Bongonda."

Will either be that or "Understand there is nothing in the Bongonda rumours that are circulating but a close source has said to me Martin Boyle is very much on Rangers' radar"

 

[GingerbreadGirl]

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.

Believe it or not, this is the sort of content this thread is actually supposed to be about. It just unfortunately gets taken over by wee bitches crying and moaning. But the purpose of the thread is supposed to be do discuss and get excited about rumours.

 

[Aribo17]

Are people getting excited over another player (Bongonda) we havent been linked with?

Absolutely.

 

[jimbear]

I'd agree with that , unlucky for us , he pissed his natural ability down the drain.

Unfortunately he was not he first footballer to do that.

 

[Battle Fever's On]

Kent's going nowhere imo.

I'm looking at the similarities between the two players, the unselfish running in tracking back and pressing Kent does for us seems to be a feature of Bongonda's game too.
I always thought if Kent left we'd struggle to replace that feature of his game, even if things weren't going for him at the top end of the pitch he tracked runners and helped win the ball back quickly.

 

[Thurny72]

Finally a decent rumour

 

[cambridgeblue]

Are we getting ahead of ourselves with a rumour about a guy who knows a guy who’s a scout in Germany?!

I’m in.

Are we signing many German players ?

Nein.

I’ll get meine Mantel…

 

[Kent17]

Will either be that or "Understand there is nothing in the Bongonda rumours that are circulating but a close source has said to me Martin Boyle is very much on Rangers' radar"

Ah would take boyle in a heartbeat.Knows the league scores goals and has exellent pace to get in behind defenders.He would be a good signing for us .

Pretty sure a poster name dropped him earlier in the thread.

I'm down.

https://twitter.com/x/status/1543840499731251201

Are the other 2 lads any gid?

 

[JMCK]

I could understand the absolute desperation to sign a player if last season was an unmitigated disaster, but we have a good side. We will make signings; additions to what is already a very good side. We really don't need to add too much.

 

[Stornowaybear]

Lowry! Please get this right next time it’s Alex Lowry

It’s @Bluebeard, it’s his way of trolling. He knows fine how to spell it, ignore him.

 

[Candyass]

Are the other 2 lads any gid?

Just read one is away to Troyes. Ugbo.

Guess we will find out on Bon.....Theo, sooner rather than later!

 

[NDC bear forever]

How long until The 4th Official tweets "I'm hearing of Rangers interest in Theo Bongonda."

And the subsequent Johnny McFarlane tweet of “I understand Rangers hold NO interest in Theo Bongonda’. Repeat, replacing the name of the player each time, until September 1st.

 

[ronadamus_prime]

Are the other 2 lads any gid?

Ugbo only signed a year ago. Former Chelsea youth player.

 

[Davie Weir]

Are the other 2 lads any gid?

Ike Ugbo is English and came through at Chelsea. Been on loan in France and think he’s heading there permanently.

 

[Bluebeard]

Lowry! Please get this right next time it’s Alex Lowry

Sorted

 

[Grigo Yossarian]

A German scout, who I done my player identification courses with in England, mentioned to me that Rangers scouts were looking at him in almost every game last season. Said we were at the character and background stage of scouting, which is usually a sign when a team are getting ready to make moves.

I know there are more in the know than me here though so just thought I'd ask Incase I got the famous Orange text

You did call it mate, and I really hope it happens.

 

[Stuart_WATP]

Why do I let myself be drawn back in. Why??

 

[ICA_86]

Kent's going nowhere imo.

How do you know that?
