DMAA

Didn’t know he was valued so highly and big clubs were already in for him

Looks like you're right. Turns out Arsenal and RB Leipzig are linked with him.

Apologies not a rumour, but Erling Braut Håland pretty much single handedly knocked out Hibs according to both Lennon and Solskaer. Just turned 18, 6 foot 3 striker and is already banging them in. Hope someone at Rangers has taken notice!

Rennes are the main team they'll want to avoid and I don't think many will fancy a visit to Red Star Belgrade either.

@Ser Barristan Selmy - they didn't look great but you have to look at their record in Europe (especially at home) and they are clearly a decent European side. In the last 3/4 years Sevilla, Spartak Moscow, Chelsea, Sporting Lisbon, Maccabi Tel Aviv and another half dozen smaller teams have failed to win at their ground. Only Liverpool and Schalke have done that. I think Gerrard has built a very solid team that makes good attacking sides look ordinary. And I thought a good bit of the joy they did get wouldn't have happened with Coulibaly/Barisic/Flanagan on the park. We could be more clinical but Gerrard is in the process of adding to the team in that area.

Thought the referee was poor, he was flashing yellows at our players for fun but let their guys off with plenty. One in particular was the definition of a professional foul (and therefore yellow card) when one of our guys skinned their big centre back and he just stuck out his arm to take him down.

We're not listed here but I take it we would be in the place of Ufa there, so in Pot 4? That would means we'd have a much harder group than Celtic who are in Pot 2.

So will our group be made up of teams in that section from Rapid to Kobenhavn? Or is it just ordered randomly?

Gutting, I was worried after Gerrard even mentioned the word fatigue

I have valued him, do you disagree?

Bids made for our players are always going to provoke discussion though

Youtube is absolutely huge with young people. They are completely addicted to it. Sad to see to be honest, but the club should be doing as much as possible to put quality Rangers content on there. Great place to win fans.

When Alan Shearer was 21 he only scored 13 in 41 games in the second tier. At 21 Andy Cole only managed 12 in 29 games in the second tier. Ally McCoist managed 8 in 30. By 23/24 years old each one of the above had hit 34 top league goals in a season. Morelos scored 14 in 38 league games aged 21. We could have a 30+ goal striker on our hands if we hold on to him and develop his goalscoring. Time to get McCoist back in the coaching team?

A born businessman

Thanks for that John. The BBC absolutely dominates the radio, it must have an exclusive rights deal for football, so some of the comments about the BBC coverage being irrelevant are way off the mark. The BBC Sport website/app is also very good and by a country mile the most popular place for Scottish football fans to check on the football and get updates. It’s been a big disappointment for Rangers fans since we stopped getting proper game updates on there.

That’s a good question Craig and one the club have hopefully raised with them. However i think it’s that they chose to be inconsistent those instances rather than stick to their principles.

I obviously meant no coverage from the BBC Looks like a few of us will just have to agree to disagree on this, I think you're way off on that one but there's no benefit in repeating reasons given on previous pages

Not when valuing players. Morelos only cost us £1m because of the level he was playing at. The same applies in Scotland, there's a cap on how much people will pay for players playing at this level. I've slapped a £10m price tag on him so I think I've done that because I don't think anybody is going to pay that just now.

And they won't get it. I was just pointing out that to compare those goal tallies as if they are equal is not helpful. At this stage I'd value him close to the £10m. A season under Gerrard should improve his reputation and value. Our scouts should have a good idea of what options are out there and if we turn down bids it's because we can't improve on Morelos with the money.

Come on now, 46 of Morelos's 73 goals were scored in Finland, and the Euro goals all in qualifiers, most against very poor opposition. The Finnish league is roughly equal to the Irish league according to UEFA's coefficient. Dembele's goals were in Scotland and the English Championship and 3 of the European goals were against Man City and PSG. Lets not get sidetracked here comparing our players with theirs but this comparison doesn't really help us value our player, Morelos.

I clarified in my response that I meant banned from press conferences No journalist would agree with that though, as I said a few pages back you only have to read about the Kaitlan Collins controversy to see that all journalists will always view a ban on a journalist attending press conference as a violation of the rights of the press. We're going round in circles, but for me the bottom line is we need to deal with the problem of unfair coverage in a way which doesn't mean we don't get any coverage at all. It's detrimental to the club and the fans.

I wouldn't say it means little. They've scored 5 in 3/5 of their league games so far, and that against decent teams who have been competitive in their other league games. One of them beat the champions Olimpija 2-0, and the Olimpija themselves have only won 1/5 so far. Maribor have made a flying start to the season and are in the habit of scoring lots of goals so there's every reason to believe that keeping a clean sheet is a big ask. And don't think they won't have clocked that we're going to be playing a centre midfielder at LB. They'll be targeting him big time. Part of me would be more comfortable with McCrorie tbh, especially aerially after seeing how AEK scored their second goal a couple of days ago. However, we blew them away last week and we've every reason to trust the management to know how to win the tie.

One question to ask is will Morelos’s value and reputation increase or decrease after a season under Gerrard? So far it looks very likely to be the former.

Two weeks in a row we’ve had a bid for a key player within 24 hours of a huge game

Too subtle because he is banned from press conferences and that’s enough.
