If this is a loan to buy then it appears to be outstanding business on the face of it. Something isn't adding up though. He seems to be very highly rated, but if he's so good why are Genk letting him go after signing him 6 months ago for a reported £7m? It's not Man City it's a team who are 6th in the Belgian league (20 points off 1st). If we have an option to buy we must be talking big money. I don't understand this one. But I can't wait to see him in a Rangers shirt.

sometimes things don't work out for certain players in a certain countries.  Look at Sadiq who is not linked with £10 mill pound moves

didn't get to see the game so haven't voted but good to see some people seem impressed with Polster

£7.5m plus 25%, if that’s where the negotiations ended then where on earth did they start. I thought Liverpool’s negotiating position had weakened since there hadn’t been the interest they hoped in Kent but I’m wondering now if our negotiating position had weakened too because we looked desperate at the last minute and they knew we had more money than before

it makes sense though, liverpool initially wanted £12m.  If we get some good years out of him and sell him for £20 million to england it'll still be good business.  Who knows what values will be like in another 2-3 years

If the board are okay with spending this amount of money on Kent, I wish they'd done it last week. Kent could have made a big difference if he'd played yesterday.

probably relied on europa league qualification tbh and unlikely liverpool would have done a deal until the last minute incase someone came in with a massive offer

Jim white reporting on twitter that kent in the permanent deal could be happening for £7 million

it was just a very bad day at the office for everyone, doesn't matter what tactics you pick on a day like this when so many people are off the pace and can't pass a ball you'll lose.  Tick it off, learn and move on.  It's a 38 game season.

forget comparing morelos to tierney, sheff utd spent £20 million on Oli Burnie for crying out loud.  Add another £10 million onto morelos IMO.

The team talk is easy tonight.

 

”celtic are in the next round. Rangers aren’t - yet”

na we shouldn't be focusing on them, they're not important. We just need to focus on ourselves.

how would that even work though with him being in denmark playing a game tonight.  No way we would let him go surely with only 1 striker available.

better than some of the teams we could have had.  going to be tough though, not sure how good they are now but i remember them beating man u at old trafford a few years back as well.

we need to start shipping some players out, doesn't appear to be much new in that regards does there

hitting the press now as well

Ross McCrorie going out on loan with an option to buy. Shrewsbury and Portsmouth look like contenders.

I understand the loan part but i don't think we should be looking at cashing in on the boy.  I think he has plenty potential to come back and be a first teamer at some point.

What the hell is Warburton doing at QPR, Barrie McKay now

Clearly has no scouting in place or fancies getting sacked pronto again for a payoff?

Logic suggests he'll want to develop his game and career further, in a better league....and from a business POV, that Liverpool will share that view, either via another loan or a large transfer fee. 

 

If we get him back on loan, excellent.

But I don't see him as being pivotal to our chances and wouldn't be thinking of allocating a large percentage of our scarce resources towards a fee.

He wouldn't be in the group of players I see as pivotal to our chances next season (McGregor, Tav, Goldson & Arfield), a list that needs added to with a couple of bits of productive quality via recruitment (creative midfielder and centre forward).

 

He had a very good season but it's often difficult to repeat it, given the type of player Kent is.

 

 

 

 

 

they also run the risk of him going elsewhere and having another bad loan move.  So they would need to sell him now if they could.  Whereas if he comes back here and has another great season then it all goes towards boosting his value and reputation further.  Hope he does come back because he clearly benefited from his spell here.

Sun reporting Celtiic are interested in a Player called Christhian Stuani. According to twitter the Sun have lifted the storey from a Mexican newspaper, who have confused Celtic and Rangers

32 year old Uruguayan Striker, according to Transfermakt 19 goals in 32 appearances last year, can play across the front 3

this the guy that flopped at middlesbrough a few years back?

A winger from Liverpool sounds like the result of negotiations between the clubs on Kent.

 

You ain't getting Kent again but you can have Ojo

 

or due to an unsuccessful spell in france this year they see how much Kent has come on and fancy doing the same thing with Ojo along with Kent :D.  

no why should he come back in, team has been playing well since he has been out and winning games.  You don't mess with that, it sends out the wrong message.  Play him off the bench.

Some whispers on FF (could be wrong) that Wallace might join up with Kenny Miller at Dens Park to hasten the transfer of Kamara. Probably not too bad an idea, given that Wallace won't see that much action with us ... even though he didn't do too badly when called upon in December.

 

Meanwhile, Herrera has played 4 games with Necaxa now, scoring a goal in 3 of them.

would be good news on both fronts.  Get kamara in now and let Wallace leave, he is now behind halliday as well.  Hopefully Herrera keeps on scoring and someone will be willing to actually pay some money to take him on a more permanent basis.

That’s a bit confusing. Everyone has a price but anyone preparing a bid is wasting their time? It’s maybe a way of saying he’s not for sale unless you pay silly money. Only they know what their replacement options are and January isn’t an easy time to find them. 

yeah that tweet is slightly miss quoted.  He mentioned that everyone has their price but nobody would be leaving in this transfer window.

Adam Lallana to Rangers? Steven Gerrard’s side installed as favourites to sign Liverpool star

Gerrard’s former Anfield team-mate has played just 300 minutes of first-team football this season as Jurgen Klopp eases him back from injury

RANGERS have been installed as favourites to sign Liverpool and England star Adam Lallana in the January transfer window.

Steven Gerrard’s former team-mate has played just 300 minutes of first-team football this season as Jurgen Klopp eases him back from injury.

The 30-year-old faces midfield competition at Anfield from Fabinho, Georginio Wijnaldum, James Milner, Naby Keita and Jordan Henderson and Xherdan Shaqiri.

According to oddschecker.com, Bet Victor have made the Light Blues the joint frontrunners at 4/1 to secure his signature before the window closes.

Lallana has also been tipped to head to Turkey on loan, with Fenerbahce reportedly interested in the former Southampton star, capped 34 times for the Three Lions.

Gers have already brought in Jermain Defoe and Steven Davis during this window, with Gerrard also agreeing pre-contracts with Dundee’s Glen Kamara and Kilmarnock’s Jordan Jones.

We told yesterday how the Ibrox club were eyeing a move for Charlton striker Karlan Ahearne-Grant.

Gers were also linked with former Man United starlet Ravel Morrison.

seems unlikely to be but would be superb loan signing for the rest of the season.

Really? The Daily Record reported the Bryson link. I think they're normally pretty reliable. Although in terms of the squad we have it would definitely be surprising. 

They also reported in the summer we were going to sign a 46 year old defender from west ham.  Also turned out to be garbage

Mate, there are players down south who have never played a first team game before, but are on the books of "the big 6" who are being sold for more than 10 million.  Solanke for 19 million ?  

 

I hope you are right in that Liverpool don't see him being worth 5 million - but in the English market, plus the fact he has played with us and done reasonably well, in Europe and against Celtic, will have him worth more than 5 million IMHO.

Yeah I agree with this, I can't see us getting Kent other than on an extended loan deal.  We'll simply not be able to afford the transfer fee that will come with him.
