DMAA 3,658 Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 Joe Worrall is due at Rangers for a medical on Thursday after the Ibrox side agreed a loan fee with Nottingham Forest. Steven Gerrard has described the England Under-21 defender as a “fantastic” player after watching him six times last year. The Rangers boss made personal contact with Forest over the weekend to assure the Championship outfit Worall will feature regularly in Scotland. Gerrard is anxious to bolster his backline after a 3-3 draw at Motherwell on Sunday. Rangers are now set to finalise a season-loan loan for the 21-year-old stopper before Friday's deadline and the defender travelled north on Wednesday. Rangers also considered free agent Gareth McAuley and Aston Villa's Tommy Elphick to shore up their backline. But Worrall, who has made 49 Championship starts, is Gerrard's first choice. Forest are trying to recoup cash after paying over £20million for 11 new players this summer. Worrall will be available for Sunday's clash with Celtic but is unlikely to feature after not playing this term having slipped to fifth choice centre-back at the City Ground under Aitor Karanka. https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-transfer-news/joe-worrall-due-rangers-medical-13160867 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post JFK-1 1,693 Posted August 29, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted August 29, 2018 If all of these signings come to fruition I believe we have an excellent chance of winning the league this season. Winning on Sunday would be glorious in so many ways. Not only would it lay down a marker it would throw them into further turmoil and help alleviate some of the pain from recent results. But the Russia jaunt has come at just about the worst time it could have, our enemies couldn't have planned it any better. Given a choice of winning one or the other it's difficult to decide which match I would most prefer to prevail in. Probably Ufa since this is a one off and a path to up to £10 million. Lose it and that chance is gone. Lose to the yahoos and that doesn't mean the league is gone. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

der Berliner 3,744 Posted August 29, 2018 Author Share Posted August 29, 2018 Direct replacement for Murphy, they say? Well, he played twice as many games on the right than on the left, though Osijek played him on both flanks and as centre-forward. https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/eros-grezda/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/289814 First time I hear of Tommy Elphick, seemingly an experienced CH at Villa, though he played most of his 350odd games for Bournemouth and Brighton ... https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/tommy-elphick/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/37152 He'd cost money or would be a loanee too though. McAuley is but 8 years older and with 520odd games (roughly 200 each in the EPL and Championship) vastly experienced. As a freebie more a CH-player-coach and back-up than a real option ... despite our experiences with Berg, Weir, Dailly and Hill. https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/gareth-mcauley/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/40567 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JFK-1 1,693 Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Is it thought that this may be an upgrade on Murphy? Ideally if we have to replace anyone for any reason including long term injuries like that of Murphy we should be striving to bring in something better not just an equivalent. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Full article: https://stramashanalysis.wordpress.com/2018/08/29/eros-grezda-dribble-merchant-or-anologue-enigma/ Very detailed article on Grezda. The video on there is better than any I’ve found on YouTube too. What a signing by Allen and his team. They’re building something big here and turning the club around with prospects like this. I predict we’ll be breaking our record transfer fee received in the next few years. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian1964 10,721 Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Dominic Solanke hope depends one other transfer Rangers could still sign Dominic Solanke before Friday’s transfer deadline but Steven Gerrard needs one thing to happen to be able to complete a late swoop. With Roberto Firmino the Reds’ first-choice striker and Daniel Sturridge having enjoyed a pre-season resurgence, Solanke’s prospects are limited with a temporary spell away mooted as a possibility. Divock Origi has yet to earn a move away from Merseyside, leaving four strikers on the books. A move to Wolves also failed to materialise with Origi unwilling to join the newly-promoted Premier League club despite their willingness to complete a deal worth £22m plus add-ons. And the Echo have said that unless Liverpool receive a suitable offer, Origi will remain at Anfield as cover - which could free up Solanke to move to avoid stunting his development. https://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/1010498/Rangers-transfer-news-live-deals-confirmed-Joe-Worrall-Eros-Grezda-Dominic-Solanke-Gerrard 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
