BEARGER 1,830 Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 If we sign the players mentioned it would seem all the talk about only signing a couple “marque players” was just that, talk. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonzo79 15,294 Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 If we sign only the players mentioned it will be very surprising...mainly because the transfer window doesn't open until July 1st. Milner and Cahill have been 'mentioned', by the way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFK-1 1,693 Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 I think the manager may do somewhat better in this window than his last Summer window. Last year everything was pretty much rushed and he hadn’t had any time at all to watch his team in competitive games and consider exactly what he needed.

der Berliner 3,747 Posted May 25, 2019 Author Share Posted May 25, 2019 Quote STEW'S THE NEW BOY Greg Stewart has penned a two-year deal with Rangers Steven Gerrard's Light Blues are also set to table an improved bid for Oldham Athletic defender George Edmundson By Andy Devlin 24th May 2019, 10:41 pm Updated: 24th May 2019, 10:42 pm GREG STEWART has penned a two-year deal with Rangers. SunSport revealed last month that Gers were closing in on making Stewart, 29, their third pre-contract signing following deals for Kilmarnock’s Jordan Jones and Motherwell’s Jake Hastie. The ex-Killie and Aberdeen loan ace’s arrival is expected to be announced later this week. Rangers are also set to table an improved offer for Oldham Athletic defender George Edmundson. The Light Blues had an initial bid of £400,000 rejected last week. The 21-year-old — who has a year left on his current deal — has since knocked back the offer of a new long-term deal with the League Two club. The Latics are resigned to losing Edmundson in the summer with Wigan, Stoke and Derby all monitoring the situation. Hull and Peterborough have also had bids turned down, with Rangers set to return to the negotiating table early next week. Gers also want Liverpool winger Sheyi Ojo on loan with talks between the clubs understood to be at an advanced stage. Ojo has spent the season on loan at French Ligue 1 side Stade de Reims, making 17 appearances and helping them to ninth place in the table. The 21-year-old recently signed a new five-year deal at Anfield but Liverpool are keen to send him out on loan again. The French season ended this weekend with Stade de Reims beating champions PSG tonight. Steven Gerrard — who is also keen to keep Ryan Kent — wants to move quickly with other sides showing an interest in Ojo. https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/sport/football/4285338/greg-stewart-rangers-transfer-news-contract/ ID 10 has said that Stewart is actually "one of us".

ian1964 10,724 Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 ? Rangers have surely been handed a big boost in their pursuit of Watford striker Andre Gray after it was reported that chairman Dave King is ready to greenlight a marquee signing in the summer. According to reliable news website Football Insider, King is ready to free up some funds so that manager Steven Gerrard can make a “top-quality and expensive addition” to his squad. It is understood that Gerrard would also be able to offer out “Premier League-style” wages to a potential major signing. Gray, 27, is someone who has been linked with a summer move to Rangers with the Evening Times reporting in April that the Gers are plotting a swoop to sign the centre-forward on loan as they aim to find someone new to spearhead their bid to win the 2019/20 Scottish Premiership title. The former Luton and Burnley striker is no doubt someone who would flourish in Scotland’s top-flight after scoring nine goals in 34 appearances across all competitions for FA Cup runners-up Watford this season. Gray found the back of the net against the likes of Manchester United, Everton, Leicester and Wolves, so there is no doubt that he could fire on all cylinders against teams such as Hamilton, St Johnstone, Hearts, Kilmarnock and – maybe – Celtic. One issue at the time of that Evening Times report was that it was hard to see Rangers being able to afford Gray’s wages. Statistics website Spotrac reports that the Premier League striker earns £70,000-a-week on a deal he signed when he joined Watford for £18million two years ago. Rangers would definitely struggle to come anywhere near to matching those wages, but Football Insider’s report about King now means that covering at least a fraction of his salary could be something that is on the cards in the summer. It is unlikely that the Light Blues would have to pay 100 per cent of Gray’s wages, but at least a good chunk of them would no doubt make it easier to strike a loan deal with Watford and sign the Englishman as a potential replacement for Alfredo Morelos. Rangers could actually go and beat Celtic to domestic honours if they sign a Premier League-level striker like Gray and being able to afford him is surely half of the battle being won. https://thisisfutbol.com/2019/05/blogs/rangers-should-have-every-chance-to-sign-andre-gray/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
der Berliner 3,747 Posted May 25, 2019 Author Share Posted May 25, 2019 ... just noted that Danny Ings, on loan from Liverpool at Southampton, has a contract at Liverpool till summer 2020. I would doubt that Watford would have us pay the full weekly wages, but what do I know. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
