🚨Rangers have seen an initial offer for Southampton winger Samuel Edozie, 22, rejected. Club is acting on long-term interest but more clubs expected to join the race.
Wondering whether the striker is dependant on the Triantis decision first to see what budget is left. I think we would go up to a million on Triantis but any alternative for that position won't be anywhere near that leaving bigger budget for better striker options. Just a thought
I was wondering about this too and came to the conclusion that we probably need another quality striker wither we got Triantis or not .
I could see the club pushing for two quality players that cost a fair bit with maybe a striker in a similar situation as Gayle joining or maybe even a couple of loans coming in .
I don’t think we are far away if no one leaves and 3 or 4 players and we are good to go . I honestly don’t think we will get Triantis now and I’m kinda hoping we move on to someone else rather than it dragging out too long .
Rangers certainly seem willing to spend a bit of cash this window
They’re letting Martin get his own players in at least, from an outsiders pov doesn’t seem anything to get excited about in there. Probably mean they will be sensational next season 😂🤦*♂️. Problem they have is if it starts crap it will end in tears before Christmas. I’m always surprised when players leaving rangers seem to be having medical and still haven’t left 3weeks later 🤷🏼*♂️. But that’s the daily rangers (record) for you.
I was thinking about players we could get on loan and naturally was checking on players from Bournemouth that might be realistic targets ( maybe not ) and this one interested me . Only young and a bit light though looks good …

Anyone hear about Josh O’Connor, signed for East Kilbride then by the looks of things something has happened as he was on trial with Elgin on Sat, sounds very strange
Really hope we aren’t talking about Triantis will he won’t he until the end of August. The sooner we know what’s happening the better.
The comments from Triantis’ agent a month it so back suggested to me we wanted the same thing but the more time goes by the less I believe that.
If Triantis happens, it will be at the end of the window after he’s failed to attract a better option. Probably not unlike last year’s McCowan situation.
We seem to be wanting someone in soon and he doesn’t seem to be so keen. Fair enough, his business and he’s not our player.
Almost nothing would really surprise me regarding that position - if we move on to another target, if he appears just before the window shuts after we make do (or fail to successfully sign anyone else) until then.
Only thing that would genuinely surprise me would be if we had a scarf above the head photo within the next fortnight and he started either or both of the games against the Danish side. I simply do not see it happening.
I was looking at thier squad aswell. Would it be outwith the realms of possibility to get the following?
Julio Soler - 20 year old Argentinian left wing back signed this year but has only 1 first team appearance so far.
Hamed Troare - 25 year old Ivorian attacking midfielder. Signed 2023 but only 3 first team appearances
Matai Akimboni - 19 year old American centre back youth international. No 1st team appearances.
Ben Winterburn - 20 year English old defensive mid. 4 first team appearances.
Romain Faivre - 26 year old former French under 21 international.
Signed 2023 but only 3 first team appearances. Been on loan at Lorient and Brest last 2 seasons
The comments from Triantis ‘ agent would have suggested we wanted the same things but like you the more time that goes by the less I believe that’s what they want .
I don’t think we can afford to wait that long on him as we might miss out on other potential targets that will improve us .
Akimboni and Winterburn seem possible.
Faivre was playing against Real and Barca in the Champions League last year so doubt he would fancy the SPFL.
Soler is currently one of 2 left backs on the books at Bournemouth after Kirkez left so would imagine any loan for him would require another signing for them.
Napoli had an option to buy Traore for £25mil when they loaned him, so again just seems out of our league.
Soler and Jebbison are the only 2 that stand out to me as being at least semi-realistic and also a cut above the quality that you are normally able to get up here on loan.
There is a good interview with Nectarios in the Greek Herald, he says he is "ready to go again with Sunderland"

It's an Australian site.
Yes, agree.
I'm sure I read that the deadline for registration is 18th July, so they'll need to be signed before that date.
Also, you would expect anyone involved in the Midtjylland game would need to be integrated into the team well in advance of the game if they are going to have a major impact. So certainly well before the Bolton game and possibly the bounce game against Bournemouth.
Would players like Akimboni even be good enough for us? Only played a handful of senior games in the MLS, no thanks.
I do think we are much more likely to see players come in for Lorient. With them going up a league I imagine they will have a few squad players who we would be able to get and would still improve us.
Why you back to slating the guys upstairs Jeffers something going on? Last summer BK malky McPherson where getting it for signing players bmcd had pied off, now we’ve finished 3rd looked to have signed 3 strong players kept a few on from last year and your back to slating Marshall and recruitment team again this year what more can be done?
Marshall is Technical performance manager, which is working with malky McKay on performance side of things and also Eddie Mays former role looking after loan players and finding pathways for young players to first team, if you have a look at Bournemouth when Richard Hughes left for liverpool it was his assistant Simon Francis that took his role, continuation is good, so there may be no noticeable benefit to us supporters now but if it continues to go well and malky moves on we have marsh to continue that good work.
Yep unless when Malky moves on Marshall moves into that role you would think by now there will be specific tasks delegated to Marshal but as far as I am aware nothing further has been said about his role
At the time Malky said he’s a good professional to have around the Club
