My kid goes to kindergarten with a couple of Rangers players kids, I've struck up a bit of a 2.30 relationship with a certain player, I showed him Jimmy bells KitRoom and this page, he was properly intrigued and amused by some of the historic posts, he also pretty much confirmed without confirming that Tavernier is going, interestingly he was very coy on himself going too. He absolutely didn't confirm anything oraly but Tavernier is going.

This is a good old school rumour.

I literally said he didn't tell me ANYTHING. I've been speaking to him almost every day since August last year, I asked him how it works with schooling when a player leaves, he said they tend to hang on at the school as long as possible if they've family in the area but if it's the case they leave then they leave.
That brought on the subject of players leaving which I mentioned Tav to which his response was he's been at the club 20 years people come and go. Now that's not saying anything but it's saying everything. Also the school is in residential Bearsden.

20 years surely a typo mate?

Yeah think Tav will be going on all accounts
would be want Butland to be captain? If he was to stay
For me I’d rather an outfield player as captain someone who has a bit of steel about them not afraid to pull players up etc
Not sure If anyone at the club right now fits that even sterling.

The stig I think we need to go bring in an experienced winner and make them captain. We need a stronger character to lead our team.

Haha, not a typo, over exaggeration on his part. Roofe has also already taken his kid out of school, not seen him in a week or so which is unusual as both usually pick up after the WAGS have dropped off.
So between the lines Tavernier, Connor and Roofe all going, I will ask about Butland today in a round about way but so far as he told me in January when the rumour was going around his words were no chance Jack is going he is loving life, this was in January so potentially means nothing due to what's transpired success wise.

The guy passing on info, read it form your own view, no need for the snide comments.

Can I ask why snide remarks are made, when someone gives info. Is this not what the page is made for?

Roofe's a free agent. so he was going anyway, more wages freed up for the new lads.

Interesting reading about Galdames on a few sites now, regarding his time in Argentinian football. Whilst I agree there are a few cultural differences between Argentina and Govan, what appeals most is the fact he has played plenty of football in what is often a very hard and unforgiving environment.
For me this summer I believe PC is NOT going to sign anyone with injury history, as his press conferences all year have included an amount of ranting on the subject.
Agree that having a good solid (ideally Scottish qualified) core is very important, I feel E Europe, SAmerica and Africa offer great value with sell on potential (another clear manager focus) . I also don’t believe he would overlook any SPFL player simply because they are at a smaller club, but more the value likes of m’well, Aberdeen, Hearts etc. place on their players (as is their right), takes them out with our budget when considering we have many positions to fill.

Snide remarks would perhaps be warranted for a blatant whopper of a tale, I've literally just made the account to pass on first hand information containing information that would corroborate or at least give some credence to what I've said. I gain absolutely nothing and inversely lose nothing by passing on the info, Again, he didn't say he was leaving but his tone and lack of stone wall denial makes me think he'll be gone, for example I asked him about Shankland and his words were no chance. Asked him about a handball or something against the sheep and had the same smile and cheeky reaction as if to say Yeah absolutely a hand ball. It's a nod and a wink type conversation.

DPM112 if my comment came across as snide then I do apologise it was a genuine question.

Wonder why no chance on the shankland subject?
The manager or the club as a whole don’t fancy him?
Where does he think he will end up?

I don’t hear anything about rumours so like coming on this site to read them. It’s rumours guys are giving which I appreciate. Whether I believe them or not, I wouldn’t have a go at anyone for putting them up.

Good info DPM. I know the school you’re referring to as I’m also G61. Don’t let the few who try and noise up and point score out you off. As you say, you’ve nothing to gain/ lose and simply passing on information that a few others wish they could. Look forward to more posts.

DPM, I'm happy with your comments and can only hope that they come to pass. The time has come for most of the current squad to go, irrespective of what they have achieved in the past. It is time for a clear out which is arguably overdue.

Thestigno1 hear me out here a sec, Sterling for captain and here's why.
He will play in any position asked of him and give that 100%. This tells me that he is willing to do whatever it takes for the sake of the team. That's leadership.
He is a battler, strong in the tackle and physical, exactly what fans want to see and gets fans going when they see him putting himself about. This should inspire and motivate team mates. That's leadership.
He said in a recent interview that the team were playing, and I quote, "rubbish". He was straight to the point, he never tried to BS us with the party lines like 'we'll learn from this' etc. He told it as it is and that's leadership.
Everyone is always saying I wish we could clone Sterling. Well the best way to do that is to make him captain and let his qualities and mentality rub off on everyone round about him!
For me its a no brainer. Sterling for captain. Give me a proper argument as to why he should not be captain? And before anyone says he's too young or lacks experience then all I will say is Barry Ferguson. Both young, both similar experience. Both similar mentality as explained above. Again people have been saying 'I wish we had a Barry Ferguson in there', Well I think we do and that man is Sterling.

Berkshire, have you heard anything about Nathan Patterson coming back to us as part of a deal involving Butland going to Everton?
0
30 May 2024 16:01:53
Blue river, good case made and well thought out
At present imo he needs to develop more and also prove histitness. Only started 11 games so far, I do know that’s not a reason for him not being a captain, let him develop
For me Butland at present is the obvious choice with Souttar as VC.

looking forward to seeing Sterling finally in his right position as RFB, obviously once Tav (and Goldson) seal there transfer to saudi league, should generate around 15 mill for both, they are both in the 30;s now and not long left on eithers contract. better to sell now, or watch more money walk out the club for free.
Would be fantastic if we can work out a deal where Butland go's to Everton and we get Patterson back, 2 biggest defensive mistakes we have made over recent seasons selling Patterson and Bassey, that is the quaility of player we need throughout the team if we really want to be a Champions league quality side, that can take Celtic apart at will, do the treble and hurt some good teams in the Champs League, some will say but the money, not having them in our defence has cost us a lot more than in lost games, lost cups, lost leagues, dud Cb's.

Not you G4. It was the "As if he'd say that at the school gates" Not necessarily snide, just doubting something that literally happened, it was his Mrs that picked up today so no further gossip until tomorrow perhaps, I'll ask about Butland.
In response to Shankland in January, he elaborated slightly by saying his uncle Roofe is rated higher than him and he only plays once per month, granted Roofe was standing beside him at the time so could have been jest but I think it could be that the club are looking younger, fitter whereas Shankland would be perhaps considered more of an old school chips and beers at the weekend type.
I personally think Shankland would have been the cog that won us the league this season but potentially the club don't rate him which is their perogative.

Hi Mark, not a lot coming out of Liverpool at present reference Everton. Only rumours that have been floating about relate to Investment, (or lack of it) . I will ask my oldest son, he generally has more info on Everton than me these days!
