The Rangers Winter 2025 Transfer Rumours and Deals - Thread

[Bluedell 6,043]

£7 million for Igamane looks on the low side at the moment. He's got tremendous potential and other clubs should be able to see that. It is a gamble as Cammy points out, but one criticism aimed at the club over the past 8 years is that we've sold players at a lower amount than other clubs appear to be able to do. The opposite argument regarding Morelos and Kent also applies so it's a difficult line to get right. I'd hope our CEO with his experience would be able to judge it better than perhaps we've done in the past.

Everton have sacked big Sean maybe he will come to Rangers 

Careful what you wish for. We won't want his stifling brand of football.

We should try to keep Igamane for another 18 months.

 

His impact on the team is too important. The rest of the players will play better with him in the team than with Dessers.

 

The only exception is if we get some more good results in Europe and somebody wants to bid £15m+.

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

Keep calm. It hasn’t happened yet.

This is what I was trying to get at. A player breaks onto the scene, looks good and we elevate them to "super stardom" and they become un-sellable.

 

If we are to get out this financial mess, we have to sell players  I used Igamane as an example as he's the latest player to explode onto the scene. 

 

A few on here use Boomsong as an example of a positive player trading model. He was, and so would Igamane. I plucked £7M fresh out of the air, but its 3 times what we paid for him so in reality, a good return. 

 

If we are serious in player trading we'd have the next few Igamane's on our radars and use the money we made to get them, then continue the cycle.

C'mon Cammy, we get you're really unhappy just now but the club can't win with you. Do you really expect the CEO to announce he'd welcome bids for Raskin and Igamane in the coming days? Would that lift team morale, get the Union Bears back onside, increase a player's value? You know that if the right bid comes in for any of our players we'll sell. Stewart knows that, Clement knows that, the players know that and their agents know that. What the right amount might be is open to speculation. You're now taking up a contrary position on every subject, whatever the club say or do you oppose it. It's a shame and it makes this forum harder to read.

So, I was right in what I said, yet that makes the forum harder to read? 

 

Fair enough, last you'll hear from me in a while.

I remember doing an article on the Boumsong sale, praising his agent Willie McKay. We used the cash to buy Kyrgiakos, Barry and Buffel in the winter window and result was the never-to-be forgotten Helicopter Sunday.

Sky Sports reporting we are in talks to sign Lyall Cameron from Dundee. Bring him home, scarf above head etc

Hopefully, if its a pre-contract, we don't even up paying £600k compensation and 10% sell on
