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

[Salamanca]

I was really against Sam Lammers due to his poor scoring stats and lack of progression.

But I stopped stat watching and I read up on him and watched videos of him and saw so many similarities to Skov Olsen.

Tall, pacey and very good with the ball at his feet. Both have struggled in Seria A and Skov Olsen moved to a decent league and has really done well

I really think Lammers could be a decent signing as a winger, but not as a number 9.

Thought this too. Watching some of his videos Lammers seemed to be coming off the left rather than playing as a central striker. Looks skilfull, quick and he's got the physicality Beale has mentioned.

A fit Souttar trumps Goldson.

The sun today mixed with alcohol is never a good combination

 

[Craigie]

Bit off topic but the transfer thread from 2006 we we after a striker and clue was household object.



Did we ever find out who it was

Mike Rowave.

 

[Fred the Tav fan]

Tbh I don't think there's much in it between Souttar and Goldson at their peak - I think that would be a fair comment to make. They're both very similar style of centre halves with similar attributes and they're both great fits for us.

The one thing we know for certain though is that Goldson is available to be at his peak far more often than Souttar is.

I think if we sign the lad Trusty we'll have a group of 3 very good centre halves available to us.

 

[Herbie53]

He's been posting nonsense about him ever since he got back in the side. Rather than just hold his hands up and say he was too quick to judge he's doubled down on it. It's incredibly sad behaviour.

Not unusual behaviour for on here though tbf.

It doesn’t seem like a certainty anymore.

Goldson has probably went through more injuries this season than he has the 4 seasons prior.

I hope he hasn’t lost that robustness. The fact he’s been playing 50-60 games a season for 5 years on the bounce has probably contributed to his body finally giving way.

 

[bailliestontrueblues]

Soutter gets us up the park more than Goldson, soutter comes out with the ball, (and takes a man out the game) something you don’t see Goldson do too often.

Edited to make it clearer what I was trying to convey

 

[bailliestontrueblues]

If it’s true that soutter had a stress fracture in his leg when we signed him and this injury was the thing that was causing him to miss so much games previously then we are hoping that he will be injury free for the foreseeable

Really?

 

[jackstar]

Tillman removed himself from players group on instagram

He is a luxury we can’t afford,more so if his heart isn’t in it. He gets caught to often for me.

 

[bailliestontrueblues]

Really?

I don’t think you see Goldson take it by a man the way Soutter does, Goldson is more likely to pass it onto a midfielder right away or pass it square, or go long.

I Don’t mean take it by a man by beating him, but by taking a few touches and pushing forward leaving the opposition player behind him rather than passing ball when the forward is still infront of him.

Creating space for another one of our players further up the park

 

[Number Six]

There’s wild takes then there’s this Souttar/Goldson chat

 

[Simply a Bear]

Craig Moore wants us to sign Van Veen. Hope he doesn't get Wilsons job if this is his idea of a good signing.

Craig Moore should just stick to kissing big Angie's derrière.

Probably nonsense I’m sure but think I can remember him being mentioned a while back

Not sure if I remember him being linked, but we were linked with another Kenyan a while ago - Joseph Okumu from Gent. Tall left sided centre half, has been doing well in Belgium by all accounts but his spot is shared with another good left footer in Torunarigha.

Would not mind seeing him come to Ibrox. When Okumu was at Elfsborg, some of the coaches in the league said he was the best centre half in their league’s history.

It’s just football chat discussing difference styles of our players, you’re going to get that on a football forum mate, especially on a thread that’s went quiet with no new links to new players.

You’ll not find a bigger Souttar fan than me but my god, that’s some take.

He’s not even the first person I’ve seen say it today. Bizarre.

How in the feck is saying a fit Souttar Trumps Goldson showing Goldson disrespect? It's my opinion. Injuries aside, Souttar is the better football player.

How about waiting till he's made more than 13 appearances? Even in that short time he's managed to cost us an Old Firm game. I'm a fan of Souttar, but our record without Goldson is absolutely horrific.

Passes the time until a new link appears don’t see any harm in it

 

[Bishyboy]

Evans could be a good signing for a few reasons, one being him and Goldson would be very good together, he looks like he would be vocal and be able to talk Yilmaz through a game.

As for king he would learn a lot from him.

Yeah 3 years ago,
He is 35 and has played circa 35 games the last 2 years due to injuries

When Goldson was out late last year we lost a league title.

Souttar is cracking big centre half, but Goldson is the better player.

My bad I didn’t see that, free reign then

 

[unionjock2]

Barisic was being talked about as having an eight figure pricetag two or three years ago.

None of us have seen enough of Yilmaz yet to be able to say with any certainty that he’ll ever be in the same category.

He will be, he's a far better all round plater than Borna and a lot less predictable.

True, some folk need to take their meds before posting their opinions on public forums though.

 

[MickF]

Is Souttar better than Goldson right now? No

Will Souttar keep improving alongside Goldson? Yes

Should we try and get rid of Davies and sign a quality centre half who will push both to the top of their game? Absolutely

Have they not already got like 4 strikers as it is? I genuinely don't understand why they would sign another striker when they've got Furuhashi upfront. You're not going to better what he does and with the 5 sub rule, his hamstring issues should be fairly minimal again. I suppose they might be thinking Oh isn't the right fit and are cutting their loses by going after someone else.

Honestly does feel like tinkering for tinkering's sake though.

What strikers do they have apart from the Japanese and the Korean

 

[TriggersBroom]

Goldson literally carries the ball forward regularly every single week

 

[ronadamus_prime]

Maeda can play through the middle and is fairly effective at it. I'm sure there's one more I'm forgetting.

 

[Alex Hunter]

What strikers do they have apart from the Japanese and the Korean

Lad is maybe including Maeda & Haksabanovic who can play there but are normally deployed a bit wider.

Goldson literally carries the ball forward regularly every single week

Was about to mention this too. An utterly bizarre thing to aim at Goldson.

 

[Trueblueal]

I hope not literally, he'd get sent off a lot if he did.

He might carry it forward I don’t see him taking a man out the game the way soutter does though.

And I’m not saying soutter is better than Goldson, I am just saying this is something that soutter does that I like

 

[WATP]

You’ll not find a bigger Souttar fan than me but my god, that’s some take.

I’d agree with the fit Souttar claim over Goldson too tbh

 

[Isje 931]

I’d agree with the fit Souttar claim over Goldson too tbh

Pmsl based on what?

How many top level European games has Souttar played?

Genuinely bizarre claim. It's laughable

 

[Vony Tidmar]

How in the feck is saying a fit Souttar Trumps Goldson showing Goldson disrespect? It's my opinion. Injuries aside, Souttar is the better football player.

I've constantly stuck up for soutar on here have said multiple times he reminds me of Alan McLaren, he's not better than goldson he's just not. He's a very capable player but godson is so important to us just look at the Liverpool game after he went off.

 

[ronadamus_prime]

Lad is maybe including Maeda & Haksabanovic who can play there but are normally deployed a bit wider.

Haksabanovic. That's the one. Cheers.

souttar has only played well the last few games, its some take considering souttar has never played against top european compition and was done against celtic a few times already

 

[EastDurhamLoyal98]

No he's not. We tried playing him out wide and he's not comfortable there.

He's played centrally all season for Sunderland and been excellent. He's a 10.

He’s played on the right for us more often that not. It‘s a fluid system and he has been allowed to drift and link up with the other attacking players but I wouldn’t say he’s played centrally all season. Have a look at his goals this season and a lot of them have came from him cutting in from that side and shooting with his left.
