He is of course a very divisive figure amongst the Rangers support but then so was Kenny Miller when he came back. what could be interesting is if he signs for Kilmarnock, then next Rangers Manager (summer 18) says he would have wanted him, and would have signed him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fairbairn is right calling it a mistake on our part. He would be relativity cheap, and seemingly we are taking a massive hit on pena.

vanderark14 Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 So one minute it’s a £1m signing with add ons and now all of a sudden Brighton only want a loan deal. Aye ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I think it's because they're not sure Murty will go past the summer so don't want to sign a player permanently if they don't have to.

Whatever has actually happened here, that's a fair point. That, and the financial state of the club, would make short term commitments a good option.

Another view could be that a purchase deal was agreed (somewhere between £500-£700k) for which Rangers we’re hoping to structure payment to fit their current cash flow. Brighton refused to the structuring but instead agreed to loan the player and give Rangers an option to buy in the summer - when they presumably have the cash. Whichever view you take, I suspect the end result is actually better for Rangers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Net result is that we still have (limited) funds now available to bring another couple of players in, although how many will depend on who we shift. Much better for us. Be fine one we get all the champions league cash in the door Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rags saying anything between 500k-2M. Who knows. The Bros lad is seemingly highly rated down south, and if he was to become available then we would be up against championship money. Probably best to see what he is like first, I suppose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaggycoo Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 Celtic centre-back Jozo Simunovic is an £8million target for English Premier League outfit Crystal Palace, with Burnley also believed to be interested in the 23-year-old Bosnian. Ok, this lad worth £8m?? Haven't seen anywhere near enough to make that judgement Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rangers fancy Martin on a loan deal. How many loans can one club have per season?? I know I could just look it up but I am sure one of our more learned friends will know the answer....

Not sure myself these days as we now have standard loans, development loans and emergency loans (although not allowed in the premier league). All I know is that Dalcio and Nemane are away and are being replaced by Goss and Murphy. So 2 out, and 2 in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hadn't heard about the guaranteed fee in the summer. If that's correct then it's probably more cash flow related which is as has been said, still probably better for Rangers. Although maybe not as flexible as I had originally thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
