By all accounts, Archer is a highly talented young player.

 

I don't really want us to be signing other teams' youngsters on loan, though.  

Only if its on a loan to buy basis like Sands.

Agreed, but I don't think it can be; he's too highly rated.

Loan deals are arguably like any other signing in terms of overall risk but you can argue it gives us the ability to bring in players we otherwise couldn't afford.

 

Where that benefit is somewhat negated is that there could be questions over the player's motivation. Perhaps a younger player may be motivated to impress but older ones, possibly less so if they're already on a massive wage elsewhere.

 

Like you, I'd prefer permanent deals and for us to develop our own younger players but Rangers is a very difficult club to do the latter effectively due to fan expectations.

I've been informed a well regarded youngster has been spotted at Ibrox.  Harold Styles.  

 

Spurs youth player or something, I think.

yeah, it appears his style lends itself to the younger female fans.

Contracted to Villa till 2025. That in monetary English market terms means ... a lot of cash.

This is true but on the other hand, how many times have we signed a player on a 3 or 4 year contract and wished half way through the first season that it had been a loan deal?

IN - Berke Özer (22) - GK, Turkey, Fenerbahce, freebie - LINK - TM

IN - Cameron Archer (20) - ST, Aston Villa, contract 6/2025 - LINK - TM

 

OUT - Borna Barisic - "2 Turkish sides" - LINK

 

And that left-back Tymon is said to be a non-starter (IMHO far too expansive), as we are supposedly not in the market for a left-back. Unless we sell Borna ...

Nice of him to wear a Bosnia and Herzegovina flag to honour Sasa Papac.
