Transfer Rumours transfer thread fact and fiction

Beware of Greeks bearing gifts.

 

Russell Martin sold Mikey Moore on his loan to Rangers by pitching playing time

Oh dear...

 

He came on tonight, he’ll get plenty of minutes there.

Although Russell Martin is under huge pressure and already not popular with a lot of Rangers fans.

 

Problem is if the Rangers hierarchy pull the trigger, and by half time tonight they had to be feeling itchy fingers, if the new manager would give him playing time

 

He needs results and fast but more domestically than in Europe. They’ve got Celtic and the second leg soon, he needs to get results there but I don’t think he will get sacked so soon regardless because they’ve backed him with signings and took ages to appoint a new manager and seemed insistent he was their guy

 

He obviously needs to work on the defensive coaching if that first Club Brugge goal is anything to go by.....

 

Yeah they’re far too easy to play and score against atm. The style of play was supposed to be a new era but so far every Rangers fan I know isn’t impressed with him at all.

 

As per Romano, the Mansourites will sign Rodrygo once they move on Savinho - in spite one of the board (look, it's Soriano, isn't it?) blocking Savinho leaving, thus creating the biggest obstacle in their attempts to sign Rodrygo

 

Worrying development ...Fully expect that they will now quickly agree terms for Eze and we will look stupid

 

We should offer to ease the burden by loaning them Bryan Gill

 

Fabrizio Romano claimed that Manuel Akanji was close to a transfer to Galatasaray.
Agreed with City and only requiring some details to be sorted.
Akanji replied to it, "don't know anything about that", and it was swiftly deleted!

 

Not sure which idiot thought it would be a good idea to send Mikey to Rangers at this crucial stage of his development.

A nice solid upper mid table Championship club would have been perfect, not one in a seemingly endless cycle of crisis and under constant scrutiny and pressure.

 

On the other hand....

 

There it is. Can’t say I’m surprised. I’ve been skeptical throughout.

 

Arsenal have done you and now you're going after Wissa, so they done us too.

 

it’s a disgrace. This should have been sorted weeks ago. No competition from anyone.

I’m beginning to wonder whether Levy’s taken the “we tried” to a whole new level. It used to be leaving it until the end of the window when there was no time left to get the deal done, but now it’s like he purposely faffs about in the hope someone else comes in and makes it look like it’s not his fault.

 

Blimey two high profile transfer collapses in one window is good going even by the usual THFC standards....

 

We're on about 5 so far
