Great news if we can get Tav to renew. Now to sort Kent and Alf

They must be confident he will come here and do well or they would prefer a deal with cash up front. Similar to us and Bassey they probably know we can command a big fee for him if he plays well. He is already on the radar of elite clubs like Barca and then the likes of Spurs and Frankfurt so a couple of good years here and we wont be able to keep him.

Absolutely, but if i recall correctly Kent had one year left on this deal at Liverpool and no other suitors. So from where we are it was a big signing. He has been a great signing for us, no doubt. I just hope he doesn't walk out the door for nothing in 12 months time.

Perhaps he is signed as a starter, but i see it as an investment too. We can potentially make more money from him in a few years. We know Borna has great games and bad games and not much in between. I'd be comfortable with us investing heavily in a replacement. Thing is with a young player with the profile or Yilmaz there may be time for him to bed in, settle in Scotland, learn a little English etc. I agree completely RE Kent. We overpaid for him IMO. Great signing he has been for us but Liverpool drove a hard deal.

But Heart and Hand said Ajax dont do sell ons.. ? 🤐

Id be hoping we are buying a 1st choice left back for 5+ million. We can do better than Borna. We are profiling a young guy with potential to improve.

Ridvan exactly the profile of player we need to fill our LB spot.

Ajax has reached an agreement with Rangers FC and Calvin Bassey for the transfer of the defender to Amsterdam. The English-Nigerian player has signed a contract with Ajax that will take effect immediately and will run for five seasons, until June 30, 2027. Ajax will pay a transfer fee of EUR 23 million to Rangers FC. Including variables, that amount could increase to EUR 26.5 million. https://english.ajax.nl/articles/ajax-and-rangers-fc-reach-agreement-for-calvin-bassey/ Incredible. Well done Ross Wilson & Co. Bought Ben Davies and still have 20 million left. Mental.

Disappointing but not surprising. A greasy chip van outside the ground can produce better fare that a massive multi million pound catering firm. Standard.

Yilmaz has the Patrick Caskie seal of approval, lets do it. A 21 year old international. Sounds good.

Still find his hatred for us bizarre considering he enjoyed the blue pound for many years. A very odd chap.

The onus is on the BBC here to prove that they can report responsibly and accurately without levels of extreme bias. Hopefully they can be professional. Many Rangers supporters like myself are forced to pay a licence fee to fund thier coverage.

Also think we need a striker, cant really rely on Roofe. A loan would be good or an experienced pro like Defoe.

He spent much of last season injured and couldn't play more than 1 game a week when he was fit. It was time to cut the net. Agree with @Rousseau a LB to challenge Borna for the spot is a must. A young chap with potential would be worth the risk here like the Isreali boy Leidner.

They tried to get him on loan a few weeks back. We knocked it back. I’d be open to a perm move for the right cash

Seem to be linked with all of our players over time but they are toilet and I doubt any of our players go there or see it as a step up.

New manager for this season and two best players returned from loan to parent club Brighton. We have a good chance here

One of the problems supporting an under performing team like Sheffield United the past few years is very few players get pass marks. Most of the squad are playing far beneath themselves for whatever reason. Davies will be a good signing for us I have no doubt. With him on board we are stacked at CB but really need a LB to cover Bornas periodic bad spells.

Yes we will miss him, but he has only played about 50 games for us. We would miss Tav, Goldson, Kent or Morelos more. We will also miss Aribo especially on the European nights.

If we get a big fee as reported for Bassey who only really played when Gio and co arrived then that is spectacular business by the club.

I’m all in on Sands at centre back. Not a fan of him in midfield.

Bassey not involved today. Seems inevitable now. Sands at CB though which I like

Usually fee is agreed in advance or option to buy is pointless. Any club can submit a bid for any player at any time.

I don’t think they can. I think when there is an option to buy there is a contractual obligation for the parent club to accept a pre agreed fee. In any case I can’t see an elite club like Bayern being remotely interested in any of our players no matter how well they play. They are on a different level completely.

Tillman official. one year loan with option to buy. Rangers official Twitter
