Official The Summer 2023 Rangers Transfer Window Rumours and Deals - Thread

[55&Beautiful]

Can't shake the feeling on Nisbet either.

Would take him over Shankland all day long.

If we need to sign Scots, he's comfortably good enough to start on away games in the league after mid week European matches if needed.

Entering his final year too

 

[Paisley-1872]

What’s situation with Asmir Begovic he is free agent isn’t he , wouldn’t he be an option ?

No were signing butland

 

[The_Joker]

Whats folks views on Theo Walcott..

My views are you are enjoying making this type of thing up as some people seem to believe you know our transfer targets/plan

 

[KarlSvenson]

we just signed a player but I’m getting more impatient by the day waiting for the next one

 

[The_Joker]

Reckon he would be 5-6 million. But wouldn’t be surprised to see us spend that with the importance of bringing goals to the team.He fits the hybrid style Beale likes, is also athletic and fast and can interchange all around the front 3. I know at one point he was leading the assists in the conference league.

Think this guy is this summer's Skov-Olsen. A name mentioned on here that people run with then are oddly raging when he signs elsewhere even though we were never interested.

 

[Waltzingwalter]

Would fit the grey hair narrative, and give some much needed experience to our front-line. Financially, id suspect he would be on a huge wage, and more crucially, can he still cut it? Not sure on the latter

What’s the grey haired narrative?What have I missed

A throwaway comment Beale made and then went back on it when asked again.

So some people have taken that and decided it must mean we are signing players with grey hair .Amazing!

Not one person has said that

 

[MelSterland]

I have a weird feeling he will as well. Wouldn’t expect him to be our main man but I bet with better players around him he would surprise a few.

I hope we do sign him. Nisbet would get 20+ a season in our team. Large tick for the homegrown quota as well

 

[DerekSSR]

I thought it might be Alex Chamberlain that he was talking about. Free transfer been at big clubs, played big games, will know beale and neil banfield quite well i would imagine. Know he has had some injuries but on a free transfer might not be as big a risk

Could probably throw Ross Barkleys name into the mix aswell, out of contract with Nice this summer sure we were linked with him last summer.

 

[StuartyCYP7]

If it was a choice between nisbet and shankland I’d be picking shankland every day of the week, a really good all round player in the league and virtually always available

 

[Waltzingwalter]

I quoted one for a start.

 

[Mview83]

Would cost double the money though

 

[Wolverhampton Town]

We could/should have taken a punt on Nisbet and/or Shankland when they were at Dunfermline and Ayr respectively. They might have been better options that some we have gambled on from Europe. Nisbet would be the better option possibly? Always interesting to see these guys in a better team before deciding if they are good enough.

 

[XabGer]

No Beale doesnt rate him. We need better. Has had a few injures lately so that might sway us.

 

[Coplandbear]

If we are signing "experienced" players they need to have played regularly and contributed of late.

Some of the names on here just have expensive mistake written all over them.

Walcott has done nothing for years let's be honest he's 34 years old ffs.

Oxlade Chamberlain is another who never fulfilled his potential again has done very little for some time.

Barkley has looked off it for a while there is a reason he is playing in France these days.

All of the above come with risks be it fitness or the longshot hope we get them going again.

History shows us these types of signings very rarely work and your testing the wage structure all would demand big money.

Colak far superior. Nesbit not good enough. As per Mick Beale.

Taking a gamble at that level almost never materialises.

Simply because we end up not playing them regularly because they’re “not quite ready”.
How they get ready is playing at the higher level consistently first, it’s exactly what happens at EPL aswell with the likes of Van Dijk.

We perhaps need to look at what we’re willing to pay other Scottish clubs for talent, there seems to be a reluctance amongst fans to pay more than £1.5m for a player in the league even though they are cutting it at that level and moving the money around the league can create a bit of a virtuous circle for clubs, the league and ourselves.

I always think for these types of signings personality, motivations, and professionalism are the most important considerations. Look at Jermaine Defoe. Brilliant personality, role model, desperate to win a league trophy, and a top pro. Ended up being a brilliant piece of business. Others of the same mould not so much, bad personalities like Barton etc.

 

[Cobear]

We need to see videos of linked players misses.

Imagine you only saw footage of Sakala's goals. You'd think he was sensational

Totally misread first sentence for missus' had me thinking of jardel and polster; thought it was an odd way to judge talent

 

[TheBearNecessities]

Swansea will be looking for upwards of £10mil for him. Way out of our price range.

I don't see why £10m is way out of our price range.

We've spent about £13m on average the last couple summers, then Beale said our budget would favourably compare to that, and we seem to be picking up a group of out of contract players (if rumoured signings are true), which leaves a huge chunk of the budget available.

 

[Waltzingwalter]

Personally think he would do ok in this league and if deals right why not

He’s 35 years of age next year.We are in the process of injecting youth and legs into a tired ageing squad.

It won't happen but Bobby Firmino tick's all the boxes that Michael Beale was referring to, he's only 31 and still able to demand redicuolus wages so obviously not heading to Ibrox

 

[Jjbscotty]

Colak far superior. Nesbit not good enough. As per Mick Beale.

When did Beale say Nesbit isn’t good enough?

 

[bobba]

It won't happen but Bobby Firmino tick's all the boxes that Michael Beale was referring to, he's only 31 and still able to demand redicuolus wages so obviously not heading to Ibrox

we’re keeping that powder dry till we need a new manager mate

 

[W_72]

When did Beale say Nesbit isn’t good enough?

Never directly but he has said in the past there is no strikers domestically outwith us, capable of playing for Rangers.

 

[Paisley-1872]

Firmino and moura beales having a samba revloution

 

[XabGer]

When did Beale say Nesbit isn’t good enough?

He said no striker in Scotland outside the old firm were not good enough for us.

 

[Battle Fever's On]

I don't see why £10m is way out of our price range.

We've spent about £13m on average the last couple summers, then Beale said our budget would favourably compare to that, and we seem to be picking up a group of out of contract players (if rumoured signings are true), which leaves a huge chunk of the budget available.

The wages a 10 million pound player would demand makes it difficult for us (and them) to shop in that market.

 

[Andrew webb]

Think this guy is this summer's Skov-Olsen. A name mentioned on here that people run with then are oddly raging when he signs elsewhere even though we were never interested.

He is still at Bruges and some posted Bruges want kamara
You can see where I'm go with this

 

[Grumpy Old Git]

What’s the grey haired narrative?What have I missed

He’s signing Jim Goodwin haha

 

[Texas ranger]

When do players have to be registered to play in Europe, Is there a last date/cut-off.

For the third qualifying round it’s the third of August. Playoffs, the seventeenth of August.

 

[davyboy83]

He said no striker in Scotland outside the old firm were not good enough for us.

Not that it probably makes a difference but when beale said that Nisbet was down at Millwall for talks . Unsure if he said that as he thought Nisbet was away ?

 

[Texas ranger]

He is still at Bruges and some posted Bruges want kamara

Kamara plus his original signing fee. That should do the trick.

 

[Ozgers182]

I quoted one for a start.

I merely quoted Beale. He referred to "grey hair". We all knew he meant experience, not literally someone with grey hair.

 

[Bear84]

Whats folks views on Theo Walcott..

100% opposite of the signings we should be making.

Fading talent. Always underachieved. Questionable injury history. Expensive wages. Zero sell on potential.

 

[Andrew webb]

Agree and dare I say Ferguson at Hamilton when we signed Greg docherty

 

[Andrew webb]

He said no striker in Scotland outside the old firm were not good enough for us.

He did
Wondering if he has changed his mind?

 

[tazzabear]

Sebo played like he had two left feet.

Mmm, I’ve often compared Sakala to Sebo!

 

[tazzabear]

Who was the last left footed striker we had? Off the top of my head I can't remember.

Colak and Morelos attempting a pass or shot with their left foot looked like the most unnatural thing in the world to them.

I’m thinking Hateley.

Exactly. We need to sign talent not big names.

Especially given the financial situation with the Club. We need to get the most out of our spend.

 

[XabGer]

Or he just said it cause hes not good enough.

Why do you think he has changed his mind? Is it because someone on here said he has?

 

[Thewandofpedro]

We’re in for Ravanelli

 

[No Money No Problems]

[tazzabear]

There’s zero chance of us signing Piroe.

Very recently, same was said about Ramsay.
(I know, I know, try to be original with the replies).
Even more recently, it was said about Raskin.

 

[davyboy83]

Or he just said it cause hes not good enough.

Possibly mate .

 

[TamS-RFC]

Porto and?

Scum in 55 season at Ibrox

Pegged Brown then rattled it in to the roof of the net.

If that was in front of a packed Ibrox it would've brought the house down.

We aren't signing players for £10mil.
