Im actually ok with Aribo going. He’s been a wonderful player fit us but £10m will allow us to bring in 2 or 3 players who can improve is different areas.
They never came out it literally came from a poster on here's chance meeting with a scout who had a chance meeting with Rangers scouts at some point!
If we dont get the £10m there surely must be a sell on
Considering we don't seem to be using much of the other income from last season, I want 3/4 of Aribo's fee reinvested. We should have a stable and healthy cash balance without needing the sale of another player.id say atleast half should always be re invested after a player sale.
Ordinarily yesid say atleast half should always be re invested after a player sale.
According to The Athletic
"Aribo is known to have thoroughly enjoyed his time at Rangers and while his preference is a move south of the border and to play Premier League football, he wants the situation to be dealt with amicably.
The former Charlton Athletic player was scheduled to meet up with the rest of the Rangers squad in Portugal on Thursday but he is currently in London."
This only gets messy if Southampton play funny buggers. Hopefully they pay the release fee everyone wins. Would hate for Aribo's time to end sourly.
If he was worth a lot more than 10M and undervalued, there would be about 10 other EPL teams throwing bids to snatch him up for 1-2M quid more.It is absalutely nowhere near what that boy is worth.
Yes it’s the last year of his contract but we’re getting mugged no matter what anyone says.
That release clause is shockingly low, no matter how long was left on his deal. Continually under value our own players, whilst the Manks seem to get over the odds for everyone they sell.
He hadn’t knocked back a deal because he already said he wouldn’t be signing one. It’s effectively the same thing.Hence the reason the club via the likes of GS was putting it out in public that he hadn't knocked back a deal, Aribo obviously doesn't want it to look as though he was ungrateful to Rangers, which is absolutely fair enough
Hopefully you're right, Del Boy, maybe the board will release the purse strings and allow Gio to spend what we bring in.Ordinarily yes
But we will have to replace Aribo with a quality player
We also need a first 11 quality right winger
Also need IMO a first 11 goal scoring midfielder
£5m won’t cut it for these additions
Mate it was agreed 3 seasons ago, nobody knew then how it would go for certain, but it helped us get a player to join who had loads of options.
Dunno why people don't get that.
To be honest that wouldn't be the worst shout and use the budget to get a good RW.McAtee is that man but i think thats been rubbished
We are now in Portugal with preseason underway and still haven’t got our targets in.
Gio came back two weeks ago and it was expected we should see movement when he returned even The boys on H&H daily update said much the same back then but still nothing this is now getting to the stage anyone brought in might not be ready for the start of the season fitness wise and we don’t need to be chasing getting new signings up to speed.
That would be nice but can't see it.Every penny of that £10m should be reinvested into the squad
That's the only way a player trading model works. No excuses for not getting down to business now.
I think some people fail to understand a release clause. The player/agent want it to be lowish and not too high that it would put teams coming in for them.Mate it was agreed 3 seasons ago, nobody knew then how it would go for certain, but it helped us get a player to join who had loads of options.

There are many areas where I agree the board could've done better, if you really believe you're right then you shouldn't have to belittle a title win to make your point.And the Board got lucky when we won 55 because they would have got hammered if we hadn't...
King stepped aside. Thankfully the Board managed to financially cover the deals King green-lighted.
Pay the fucking 10 million or fucķ off.
reputable sources now, so it looks like this is in progress
Has it not only came into play in his last year? If so it's not great but realistically how much more would we get than 10 if it wasn’t there and he was in last year? Maybe 3 million at a push 4 maybe? If it was 10 and he had 2 or 3 years to go believe me I would be moaning like feck about it. But it's not that bad really.That release clause is shockingly low, no matter how long was left on his deal. Continually under value our own players, whilst the Manks seem to get over the odds for everyone they sell.
Unfortunately it takes more than Rangers to make a transfer.You'll be called a doom monger but I remember at the end of the season Gio said he wanted his targets in early. Not exactly going to plan.
I appreciate your view on this but I think we only sign a cb if Helander is sold. If we do as you suggest and it pushes King back to 5th choice then I wouldn’t blame the boy if he immediately handed in a transfer request.£10m allows us to bring in the players we need.
Four hopefully; striker, right sided attacker, attack minded central midfield and a CB or LB depending on what happens with Bassey/Barišić. I’m still not overly comfortable with Souttar and Helander given their injuries.
Getting Roofe off the wage bill and replacing him would be something I’d be happy with too.
Then we need to think about Kent and Morelos contracts.

Unless you firmly believe we would've spent cash on players should a different board/chair have been in place last season, and we wouldn't have clearly, then I don't get the lengths you're going to.
There was nothing lucky about our last title win
Started so positively£10m for Aribo in his final year is good business. Been some player for us.
Be interesting to see what it does to the likes of Bassey & Kamara. They all seem a close knit group.
What did you think of Aribo on first impressions? When you saw him how much did you think he'd be worth in the summer of 2022?That release clause is shockingly low, no matter how long was left on his deal. Continually under value our own players, whilst the Manks seem to get over the odds for everyone they sell.

That’s not good at all if trueBreaking news on sky sports news.
£10m deal. That including performance related clauses
This obviously might not be the last major departure. We'll need to prepare for a Kamara or a Bassey leaving at the very least
That’s not good at all if true
If it’s £10m they’re paying it should be demanded upfront unless they wish to allow us a sell on clause
He will do well. But I don't think he's ever going to get to where his talent could take him. 26 now and he's still quite hot and cold. He also imo doesn't realise how good he is at times and lacks a wee bit of belief in what he actually has. Now I've said that he will go on to be POY.If he goes, which looks likely I really hope he smashes it there. We need these guys to succeed to we can increase the asking price for the next player sold.
That’s utterly pathetic.Breaking news on sky sports news.

Bassey is the main worry. Kamara, I think we could live without if the money was right. Saying that, if it triggers 25m for bassey then that is a no brainer.£10m for Aribo in his final year is good business. Been some player for us.

He is good. Where is the news we are getting him?So the good news is we are getting him but the bad news is he isn't very good?
Surprised at this because he has a decent amount of goals and assists in the league for the minutes he played (a goal or assist every 139 minutes) and it looks like almost all his goals came against the better sides in the league.
Bloody hell don't want much do you? Lol.I'm gutted Aribo is going but this could definitely kick start our transfer business we could be seeing a decent overhaul to our attack which I think is needed.
A quality replacement, RW, ST are now the priorities and depending on outgoings a CM, CB that's the best outcome for this window anything else is a bonus.
So not £10m up front?Breaking news on sky sports news.
