Official The Summer 2024 Rangers Transfer Window Rumours and Deals - Thread

[SuperGers07]

Yup that's

Yrah that's him. Source is I'm currently in company with Cortes agent and he is also this guy's agent

A player coming from a winning environment is not to be sniffed at.

 

[Isje 931]

No we have an obligation apparently. His agent is waxing lyrical here about him

He's hardly going to put him down now is he!

 

[cooperman]

Obligation rather than an option?

I’d have thought we might be trying to get an option, to make sure he recovers properly from injury

Yer I don’t get that, what’s the point of another loan if we’re obligated to buy anyway

 

[Boab4]

Yup that's

Yrah that's him. Source is I'm currently in company with Cortes agent and he is also this guy's agent

Finally, a proper rumour.

 

[madrid-bear]

Yer I don’t get that, what’s the point of another loan if we’re obligated to buy anyway

FFP apparently. He's joining us for golf tomorrow morning so I'm going to push as much as I can haha

 

[Boab4]

Depends how the contract is done.

I always thought that if you had an option to buy with an agreed price, you only discussed terms with the player when you activated the clause.

Apparently though its more common for the contract to be agreed at the start of the loan. If the buying club then agrees to meet the terms, the contract is activated.

If that what APOEL have with the boy, then if they activate the clause, he will effectively move to them, and we would have to then buy from APOEL if we wanted him.

He can still reject it if he wants to go elsewhere.

 

[Eddie Doc]

That at under 20's level?

 

[RossS1872]

Cortes coming back and he's getting a pal ala Kerkar (I know hes probably far better than Kerkar). We are so back baby

 

[XabGer]

I can see Robertson going there.

Is this the scum transfer thread now

 

[madrid-bear]

I asked why Koppen is going to Mexico and he said that it is the same type of meeting where they worked out the Cortes transfer. Apparently a load of clubs get together and it's like speed dating where you spend time with other teams recruitment head

 

[cooperman]

FFP apparently. He's joining us for golf tomorrow morning so I'm going to push as much as I can haha

Hope our transfer policy does not rely too heavily on one agent

 

[Boab4]

Like a young Rodri

 

[Clay Davis]

Never heard of him 10 mins ago but I’ve a feeling Puerta is just what we need.

Will be gutted if he doesn’t sign.

 

[Jim Prideaux]

Now we’re talking

 

[Scott1975]

Yup he's coming back on loan with an obligation to buy in January

these small tid bits are the reason why i love this thread!!

 

[PrsoNal Jesus]

Now there’s our Lundstram replacement…

 

[StevieC72]

Yer I don’t get that, what’s the point of another loan if we’re obligated to buy anyway

All to do with money. FFP to be precise. Same reason Diomande was kept for summer rather than January.

 

[kirkiebluenose]

Clement used the South American and Central American markets while he was at Brugge sure he had a couple of Canadians at Brugge aswell

 

[StevieC72]

Like a young Rodri

First two clips goals outside the box. I’m in.

 

[Wilbour]

Players that go straight into the first 11 please.
Battle hardend pros that can bear the weight of the Rangers Jersey.
Not easy but it must be done. The consequences if we don't get it right are unthinkable.

 

[SuperGers07]

That’s right. He was at one in Italy last month. TransferRoom its called

Next one is in Cancun

 

[Stevie]

FFP apparently. He's joining us for golf tomorrow morning so I'm going to push as much as I can haha

Ask him if hes aware of any outgoings from us.

 

[cooperman]

Ask him how Cortes is finding it at Rangers, I wanna know how keen he is to sign for us permanently

 

[dereksmallsloyal]

Cortes, Cordoba, Puerta. Bring on the young South Americans.

Edit: I know Panama is Central America

 

[Arcanum]

Madrid Bear coming out of nowhere to take an early lead in the 2024 Summer Transfer Thread ITK Sweepstakes but am all for it

 

[Jose Calypso]

If he’s coming back on loan with an obligation to buy I’d say he’s keen to sign

 

[Dashboard Jesus]

Yup that's

Yrah that's him. Source is I'm currently in company with Cortes agent and he is also this guy's agent

Thanks for sharing. This is what the thread is all about.

 

[Mview83]

What was his injury mate

 

[Scott1975]

Madrid Bear coming out of nowhere to take an early lead in the 2024 Summer Transfer Thread ITK Sweepstakes but am all for it

straight out of trap 1 and heading for the first fence already

 

[Jose Calypso]

@madrid-bear delivers and gets this thread on track

 

[Lemmy]

I remember Celtic did this with a striker called Mo Bangura. There were two Banguras at the same club and the guy they signed looked like the Dad.

They also did it with a lad called Macleod from Dumbarton. They wanted to sign Alastair, who at the time was the far better player, but ended up signing his brother Murdo.

To be fair it kind of worked out. Mainly due to Murdo taking full advantage of the opportunity.

 

[madrid-bear]

Cortes hasn't spent a lot of time in Glasgow apparently as his rehab has been in France? I think that's what he said but I'm not too used to Colombian slang. Puerta would be a loan I think he said. Cortes is definite though according to this guy. I have just bought another bottle of red so I'm probably not going to update much as I will be a wee bit tipsy

 

[Mullan1281]

Supposedly they're going to throw a whole load of money at getting Tierney back on loan next season according to a Tim I know.

Always injured recently

just you get it telt

 

[Loud and proud]

The lad can ping a pass.
Best midfielder in Scotland, I love him already.

 

[JD1872]

Puerta has played 30 times for the Colombian under 20 team.

 

[madrid-bear]

He reckons Puerta has the highest ceiling of all his clients. Probably just him bigging him up though as I had never heard of him and bout ago haha

 

[Davester]

Indeed. Almost a dare I say it Rangers approach to transfers. Chuck money at an expensive player on the slide with a history of injuries.

More chance of the injury prone lady's front bottom coming to us. Our medical staff would give him a clean bill of health!

 

[Jim Prideaux]

@madrid-bear you’re supposed to get him to drink the bottle, not you. You’re our man on the ground, get him drunk to open up

 

[madrid-bear]

I meant heard of him and hour ago. Bloody autocorrect on my phone

 

[PrsoNal Jesus]

He was signed by one of the best CDMs of his generation who has just gone through an unbeaten season as a manager. Promising

 

[Scott1975]

@madrid-bear you’re supposed to get him to drink the bottle, not you. You’re our man on the ground, get him drunk to open up

get his mooth dressed as it were

 

[giogaddi]

Yup that's

Yrah that's him. Source is I'm currently in company with Cortes agent and he is also this guy's agent

Is Cortes staying?

Edit : just saw you've answered this!

 

[Craigie]

Asked my Cypriot mate about local talk around Jefte. This is his reply.

They said that Apoel made an offer to his team to keep him but they are bankrupt so I don't think so I think he's going to Rangers

I heard the other day that a left back was coming in. As far as I'm aware it's Jefte.

While capable of playing in a deeper role when without possession, Gustavo Puerta is an offensive minded central midfielder. He has a high work rate and is willing to drop deep in order to initiate build up play with the defenders. A direct player, he is constantly scanning the field looking to incorporate the forwards and wingers in order to initiate an attack. He has a strong right foot and is often playing long through balls over the top of defenders in order to catch the opposition flat footed. This also makes him very adept at taking corners and free place kicks and is the designated taker for both club and country.

As mentioned earlier, he is a complete midfielder who is also capable of contributing with his defensive attributes. While not physically imposing, he uses smart positioning to find himself in the right place to win the ball back and quickly initiate a counter attacking opportunity. When his team is not capable of playing directly over the top of the opposition, he looks to drop back and link up play between the defenders and other midfielders to regain tempo and control of the game.

A better example is when a Fiorentina scout went to Argentina to sign Diego La Torre from Boca Juniors.
The scout saw his teammate play and signed him instead.
The teammate was a certain Gabriel Batistuta.

I'm absolutely all for a team sprinkled with South American flair.

Archie Knox was scouting Marc Rieper playing for Denmark and went back to Walter raving about Brian Laudrup instead.
