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

[wsb&warmy]

Pavlidis from AZ is another I’d hope we’ve looked at.

4 years of solid goalscoring in the Eredivisie, with AZ & Willem II.

He’s also started adding assists to his game.

He played against us for Willem II and I wasn't impressed. I had specifically looked out for him as I'd done a wee bit of research on their main men in the lead up to the game. He was very poor.

He also played against Celtic for AZ two seasons ago and was poor then too.

He's a big physical goalscorer but with not a lot of technical ability. For that reason, I'd be surprised if Beale had any interest in him.

 

[Gameboy]

I think there was obviously genuine interest in skov olsen, veerman and evander, as in we identified these players that can take us to another level. The problem obviously was we couldnt or wouldnt pay the money for them.

Veerman there was interest from us, however he was never ever coming here and made it clear publicly that he’s wasn’t for leaving the Netherlands.

Skov Olsen, Admin, ITK & journalists have all said we never had any interest in him.

Evander I’ve never seen anyone confirm or denied interest but he was a £10m move to the MLS and was never in our price range.

 

[Lovenkrands Dug]

Personally, don’t want Nisbet.

I think he’s vastly overrated on here. If he scored most weeks in a shit Hibs team then maybe but he doesn’t and is rarely a standout for them.

I don’t think we are interested in him anyway.

Wright

Granted Scott Wright might leave on loan but there’s 4 homegrown players there which leaves another 4 to be filled and 17 players to be registered for UEFA Competitions.

Players like Devine, King, Lowry, Rice etc can all be registered out with the 25 man squad as they are born after 2001.

The 25 man squad gets reduced if the quota isn't met though does it not? So it will be a 20 man squad currently (excluding U21).

 

[Highway Star]

How do you know that he doesn’t rate him? Apologies if I’m missed something, just curious.

There was talk of Colak being for the off but that seems to be wide of the mark. I wouldn’t lose any sleep if he did go, he’s never going to be our “main” striker but he does have a decent goal record and perhaps still has a role to play.

I don’t know why my text has went bold btw

Beale is on record as saying that he doesn't think there's any strikers currently playing in Scotland (outside of us and them) , that are good enough to play for Rangers.

I agree Colak won't be our main striker, but he's proved himself a very good finisher and penalty box striker, which is a big asset for us, when teams defend deep against us.

He's totally different gravy to Nisbet.

 

[Anony Mouse]

Isn't that what they done last year too, across the city

 

[Highway Star]

Skov Olsen, Admin, ITK & journalists have all said we never had any interest in him.

Evander I’ve never seen anyone confirm or denied interest but he was a £10m move to the MLS and was never in our price range.

When we defeated PSV in Eindhoven last season, Veerman was totally outplayed and made to look very ordinary by the much maligned (by some on here) Glen Kamara, John Lundstram and Tom Lawrence.

I'm not convinced he would've been a better signing than Cantwell or Raskin.

 

[What's the story]

I think the forward line signings may take the longest and obviously be the most expensive. Sounds like Roofe is being banked on to be an option.

Will now depend what becomes of Colak, sakala, wright and matondo. Interesting times ahead.

Aye, that’s spot on.

No interest in him.

 

[strider]

If benfica want him we should be after him given their track record of selling players for mega bucks. And I admit I know nothing about him

If Benfica are wanting a player, we won't be able to beat their offer, sadly.

 

[Liviger1984]

Hopefully Millwall sign Nisbet on a 10 year contract so we never need to hear about him again.

Only a loan for Wright? I figured it might be best for all parties to go for a permanent but he definitely needs game time one way or the other

As for Nisbet, I’d take him as a third choice at £1.2m but agree that he’s never particularly stood out to me as someone who might lead our line. No chance Hibs would sell to us for that amount either

 

[Recoba]

Does the £1.2m fee quoted for nisbett change anyone’s mind?

I think it does. Home grown for £1.2m

NO

We are about to see them win another treble and some people's answer is Kevin effing Nisbett.

One day the standards we used to have will return and I hope they will with some fans aswell.

I reckon it's either Roofe or Colak for the 3rd spot.

We will definitely bring in at least two strikers and hopefully two wide forwards that's the priority.

I thought you meant the goalie Wright

I'm not convinced he would've been a better signing than Cantwell or Raskin.

I thought he was very good at Ibrox. The away leg was one of the nights Glen Kamara decided to turn up and was outstanding.

 

[Leo_Ger]

Pavlidis from AZ is another I’d hope we’ve looked at.

4 years of solid goalscoring in the Eredivisie, with AZ & Willem II.

He’s also started adding assists to his game.

2 years on his contract and valued at €12 million on transfermarkt.

Last time AZ sold their main striker, it was for €17 million.

 

[Highway Star]

I thought he was very good at Ibrox. The away leg was one of the nights Glen Kamara decided to turn up and was outstanding.

Yep, Kamara ran the show in Eindhoven and was by far the best midfielder on the park.

 

[Empire]

Thats the Wright I’ve added.

 

[Mullan1281]

Yes but no point signing someone just because they homegrown. They need 2 b good enough 2 play

 

[rfcally91]

Veerman there was interest from us, however he was never ever coming here and made it clear publicly that he’s wasn’t for leaving the Netherlands.

Skov Olsen, Admin, ITK & journalists have all said we never had any interest in him.

Evander I’ve never seen anyone confirm or denied interest but he was a £10m move to the MLS and was never in our price range.

Think they denied we ever made a bid but do not think anyone would deny we looked at him and would've liked to sign him. Evander went for $10million dollars, but was after we got the champs league money, which according to the board at the agm was obviously not as much as first thought.

 

[Lovenkrands Dug]

Yes but no point signing someone just because they homegrown. They need 2 b good enough 2 play

Yeah I get that, but you'll also have a hard time signing people if you can't promise them a European spot, it's one of the biggest carrots to dangle in front of potential signings.

 

[StokeBlues]

No interest in him.

Many times you think you’ve had to come into a transfer thread on here to announce this

Yes, there is absolutely no point in filling up the squad with homegrown players just because we "need" them for european competition registration.

I don't see any homegrown options within our spend range that would improve the squad anyway, but it's a totally pointless exercise.

 

[linthousebear1981]

I thought he was very good at Ibrox. The away leg was one of the nights Glen Kamara decided to turn up and was outstanding.

Yeah I thought he was very good at Ibrox as well. I think that PSV team thought all they had do was turn up and they would win but we actually turned up and were hungry and determined. Our midfield made their midfield look very ordinary on the night.

Think Wright needs to be registered under the A list to meet the squad goalkeeper quota.

Budinauckas was on this seasons A list.

 

[barrheadbear]

They'll do well with a new start but have been at the club too long and are stagnating.

Best to sell, get decent fees for both and wish them all the best.

I agree Kamara is stagnating but Borna most definitely was not, playing the vast majority of our games, and a few performances excepted, was one of our better players over the season.

I wonder if there is a temptation to keep Lewis Mayo around as he has another year and is 23yo and played a full season in the league

Would let us send King out on loan also

 

[Weedoddieno6]

If Benfica are wanting a player, we won't be able to beat their offer, sadly.

This is very true

 

[dynamo_rosco]

@Empire any info on the length of Raskin’s contract for my squad status in post #2?

 

[BucksBear]

Lots of the usual negativity around the lad. We always love to write off young players. Must be worth a chance at least

 

[Ray Von]

No chance. That would be incredibly stupid by Beale.

 

[George Agdgdgwngo]

Our manager doesn't rate Nisbet, so I doubt he would mate.

Colak will likely still be here next season and although he won't be 1st choice, he'd still be higher up the pecking order than Nisbet would be.

Thank f*ck

 

[Mullan1281]

Nends 2 b on a list as over 21

Think Wright needs to be registered under the A list to meet the squad goalkeeper quota.

Budinauckas was on this seasons A list.

 

[artificialintoleranz]

At least they will know where the goal is, not like some of the players.

You talking about our strikers?

Fair.

 

[Lovenkrands Dug]

Killie fans thought he was excellent there

 

[strider]

Lots of the usual negativity around the lad. We always love to write off young players. Must be worth a chance at least

After a few seasons of regular first team football, and the sort of offers that will be on the table for him, I can't see Mayo wanting to hang around and be 4th or 5th choice at best.

 

[XabGer]

Hes got a league goal every 114 minutes this season.

Aye and Shankland and Van Veen both score a goal every 127 mins
Colak scores a goal every 101 mins but people want them to replace the big man.

 

[Bornathepostman]

Nisbet may be available to every other club on the planet for £1.5m but to us hibs would look for a lot more which makes the deal not worth it

 

[DornochBear]

If we kept Roofe fit for 70% of the season it would be like a 7M signing. Absolutely no doubt the boy is a cracking player. However its never going to happen. Maybe Beale knows somwthing we dont and finally we have found what the problem is and made major strides in fixing it. But I highly doubt it.

Would be geat though as he would certainly free up money to be spent in other areas. Him being fit for the 55 season was a massive factor we won the league. Think it was only 20 odd games but with 15 (?) goals I think. His movement in the box is something we really miss. Colak has the finishing ability but there are just too mnay games where he is like Kris boyd without the goals. Wouldnt be concerned if he left at all.

 

[Empire]

@Empire any info on the length of Raskin’s contract for my squad status in post #2?

Think he’s got 3 years left (signed 3.5 years) but don’t think it was ever made official? Just a guess.

 

[BlueLedbetter]

I wonder if there is a temptation to keep Lewis Mayo around as he has another year and is 23yo and played a full season in the league

Not a bad shout that, how did he play this season I didn't see any of him ?

 

[dynamo_rosco]

Colak goal every 101 mins

 

[NDC bear forever]

If Benfica are wanting a player, we won't be able to beat their offer, sadly.

Benfica wanted Aribo and we got him

 

[5cotland]

Contract until 2027.

 

[cav]

I reckon it's either Roofe or Colak for the 3rd spot.

We will definitely bring in at least two strikers and hopefully two wide forwards that's the priority.

Personally I'd much prefer Colak, but I'm not so sure he will want to hang about for limited game time. Roofe I'd offer to any club that would listen for a loan even paying half his wages.
Not many I'd reckon though.

 

[stephen ferris]

@Empire any info on the length of Raskin’s contract for my squad status in post #2?

The journalist at the time who was breaking all the Raskin News Sacha Tavolieri said it was a 4 and a half year deal he signed. But Rangers have never confirmed.

 

[5cotland]

How did Cifuentes play vs Leon.
