We're linked with a Swedish CB, Hjalmar Ekdal. 

 

He's been injured all season so this looks a goer. 

That’s a five year contract

The Rangers Review understands the club are not active in talks to sign Burnley defender Hjalmar Ekdal on loan, however


Although Ekdel is a profile known to the club it's believed that Rangers are pursuing other targets in defence at this moment in time.


Rangers are committed to not selling any players making an impact on the pitch in the January window. However, as previously reported, they remain open to offers for others such as forward Cyriel Dessers, as they continue to rebuild their squad.

I think if we are looking at a centre back we should be looking at a similar profile to Nikola Katic when he first signed, a young player from a Croatian type league or Scandinavia, perhaps on a loan to buy. Give them 6 months to assess.

 

We have 6 months of breathing space until we will be expected to mount a title challenge again (realistically or not) so its a good opportunity to roll the dice.

Stevie Clifford said on the Rangers review this morning he has heard we are interested in Abdel Abqar of Alaves (free at end of season) and Liam Lindsay of Preston.

 

I'd take Lindsay on a free if he is running down his contract, would be a good squad player. Big strong guy, good left foot. Know a guy who was assistant manager when he was Barnsley and he raved about him, said he was much better than they expected when they signed him from Partick.

If we are committed to not selling any player who is making an impact on the pitch, surely that contradicts our commitment to establishing a working player trading model?

I think that only applies in January.

So if someone offers us £7M for Igamane we're not taking it because its January?

We would be mad to sell him for that.

Jean-Luc only said we don't intend to sell preforming players during Januray, but if we're offered a big fee I see no reason why we wouldn't accept.

 

There's no need to over complicate things.

Why? A circa £5M profit in 6 months - that's the model we're trying to achieve. 

 

It's not about selling players the fans don't like, it's about making profits where and when we can.

 

No wonder we can't get this trading model correct - we never learn.
