Just my own theory, but I don't see the value from Dundee's point of view by letting him come to us this window when we'll need to pay them Barron type money anyway if he comes in the summer regardless.
Can’t wait to see Cameron playing CB under Clement.
I thought the same. Given the relative success of Hamza I wouldn't be surprised if we go for Essaouabi.
Woolfenden and the Moroccan lad given we'll need at least two CH's would make a lot of sense on paper.
Right to buy isn't an obligation though surely?
I’d take that !
Hopefully both. One this window and one in the summer.
Just back from injury but seems to be highly rated by Burnley fans going by the forums.
Was it not this guy who broke the Dio story?
The only thing we have going for us at the minute is the potential chance to play in Europe.
Also have a chance to win a cup
Will get a lengthy injury for fun up here.
So we would be getting him on loan just to get his fitness levels up for Burnley?
Looks like that. I would be surprised if we get him in any case. Offers from Italy as well.
Decent player but if that’s the case we must steer clear would be a decent signing only if a buy option is included gives him until the summer to prove his fitness.
If that's true, it's bordering on bizarre but would be one of the best transfer deals we have been involved in.Rangers Review saying we have a 10% sell on clause for Malik Tillman.
"Tillman made his loan move from Bayern Munich to PSV Eindhoven permanent last summer in a £12 million deal, landing Rangers a reported £1.2 million windfall after the German giants had a change of heart about an agreed deal to allow the Ibrox club to sign him after his loan spell.
Rangers received the compensation after the Bundesliga club pulled out of the agreement and a further 10 per cent sell-on fee was included in the settlement.
Bayern have a buy-back agreement in place to re-sign Tillman for £35 million, which would entitle Rangers to a cool bonus of £3.5 million."

Rather get someone in that can start and not break down injured after 5 mins after their comeback from a bad injury.
It’s almost certainly not unusual. We had an option we could have taken up, Bayern had clauses that allowed them to effectively buy-out that option - or negotiated it in at some point.
No worries mate, I appreciate it wasn’t clear. Those on here that know me would know I’d mean “financial engineering” as a positive
Barron and Diomande just doesn't work at all. It only happens because we don't have a natural six to play if Raskin doesn't make the team for whatever reason.
I still think we need an incisive passer to play in a holding role; that will allow Raskin freedom to go and do what he does well, which is break up attacks, hunt the ball down and move it quickly when he wins it. It will also allow Diomande to do the role linking play, without having to be creative himself.
Yes, please.
The most important midfielder to get is a rotation option for Raskin. We can rotate Barron in for Dio in league games. Even though they have different skill sets they both work well with Niko.
I think the speed the modern game is played at and the sheer number of games makes that impossible without injury risks becoming very high. We're seeing the effects of it at big clubs a lot now, most noticeably at City and Spurs ATM.
Not good enough for Burnley, I’m sorry then nowhere near good enough for Rangers.
I agree that it's more defensive, but at least it does work as a partnership. The point is that Dio and Barron doesn't work because they both instinctively go after the game which leaves a huge hole behind them, which was very evident early in the season. So we need cover for Raskin.
